A Candy Apple Criminal

I hadn't checked my rear-view mirror. "What the hell?" No, that wasn't the lyrics of the song, but an exclamation of fright and surprise! I jammed my foot on the brake, cranking the steering wheel hard right to the shoulder of the road and was narrowly missed by the blurred shape of a truck that had screeched around me and then pulled right in front of my car! By the time I came to a complete stop, my little white convertible was sitting corner-ways on the gravelled shoulder of the highway, with me hanging onto the steering wheel, knuckles white. I had started yelling a string of obscenities that could make any fishwife proud, my right hand raising to the prescribed position, finger stiffening when it started to sink in just what I was seeing. I clamped my mouth firmly shut. I jerked my arm down, quickly before anybody might possibly see the rude gesture. I tried scrunching down, trying to make myself as little as I could! Vroom! Another vehicle screamed by me."Jessie had just assumed this was another night and another guy. Guess she found out different on both counts! Find out what happens when she again sticks her nose in where she should not!
