 High beams the girl driving the old blue sedan was a senior at the high school She lived on a farm about eight miles away and used the car to drive back and forth She had driven into town that night to see a basketball game. Now. She was on her way home As she pulled away from the school She noticed a red pickup truck follow her out of the parking lot a few minutes later The truck was still behind her I guess we're going in the same direction. She thought She began to watch the truck in her mirror When she changed her speed the driver and the truck changed his speed When she passed the car, so did he Then he turned on his high beams Flooding her car with light. He left them on for almost a minute He probably wants to pass me. She thought but she was becoming uneasy Usually she drove home over a back road not too many people went that way But when she turned on to that road So did the truck I've got to get away from him. She thought and she began to drive faster Then he turned his high beams on again after a minute. He turned them off Then he turned them on again and off again She drove even faster, but the truck driver stayed right behind her then he turned his high beams on again Once more her car was a blaze with light What is he doing? She wondered what does he want? Then he turned them off again But a minute later he had them on again and he left them At last she pulled into a driveway and the truck pulled in right behind her She jumped from the car and ran to the house call the police. She screamed at her father out in the driveway She could see the driver of the truck. He had a gun in his hand When the police arrived they started to arrest him, but he pointed to the girl's car. You don't want me He said you want him Crouched behind the driver's seat. There was a man with a knife As the driver of the truck explained it the man slipped into the girl's car just before she left the school He saw it happen, but there was no way he could stop it He thought about getting the police, but he was afraid to leave her so he followed her car Each time the man in the back seat reached up to overpower her the driver of the truck turned on his high beams Then the man dropped down Afraid that someone might see him
