THE ROAD AHEAD OF ROBIN WAS empty, save for one long truck plowing
through the Florida humidity like a bull through a red cape. The silver
letters of the company name, More4Less, were scattered in a way that made
the two words look like horns, and they glinted in the early morning sun.
Around the straight shot of I-10 was a wall of trees she’d been whipping
past for thirty minutes—these were the way she noted the distance between
her and her mark—along with the occasional rest stop.
Her cell phone rang, and she answered it with her earpiece.
“It’s time for the robin to leave the nest,” a distorted voice said.
“Copy that. Robin leaving the nest.”
Robin leaned forward, squeezed the Yamaha’s clutch lever in and out,
and twisted the throttle toward her, simultaneously pressing the pedal of her
motorcycle like an equestrian kicking her heels. The truck came into focus;
she could read the caution sign on the back door. According to the warning,
she should stay back at least two hundred feet—though of course she had
no intention of doing so.
A dusty red truck swerved onto the highway at twenty miles over the
speed limit and took the right lane. At the wheel was a brunette wearing a
cowboy hat and aviator sunglasses, and in the passenger seat, the top of a
shorter girl’s head was barely visible over the door. Both driver and
passenger looked at Robin, who nodded as best she was able with her head
covered by her helmet.
The cowgirl accelerated.
Robin accelerated.
Like two synchronized skaters, the car and motorcycle changed places,
with Robin slightly ahead.
The More4Less truck was only one hundred feet away, then fifty, then
ten. Robin choked on exhaust, and then she was past the edge of the truck
and at its side, riding the shoulder. The road was bumpier there, rattling her
whole body. She pushed the motorcycle even faster, until she could see the
driver through the window. Pudgy guy, dusty blue baseball cap, burger
wrapper on the dash.
“What are you doing?” he yelled through his half-open window. His
face was red and furious. “You’re going to get yourself killed.”
Robin’s cell phone rang again, and she kept the motorcycle balanced
with one hand and answered.
“Fly,” the husky voice said.
Robin took a deep breath, filling her lungs with oxygen, exhaust, and
humidity. Her muscles clenched and unclenched like a boxer punching his
gloves together before a match. Then she swung her right leg up and
secured her foot on the seat, crouched so that she had all her weight on that
foot, and leapt from the motorcycle to the truck, finding a hold on the
handle and balance on the step. Her own vehicle careened off the road into
the trees, and she said a little prayer for her departed baby.
