Cynthia said to him； 〃What do you think of a man who spends three days with a woman and doesn't even say goodbye？〃
〃Well 。。。 that's mighty low 。。。〃
〃I never touched her。 We only shared a bathroom。〃
〃Oh 。。。 well 。。。〃
〃He invited me to his house in Virginia for the weekend and never bothered to give me his phone number or address。〃
The state trooper looked at me。 〃That true？〃
I said to him； 〃I just found out she's still married。〃
The trooper nodded。 〃Don't need that kind of trouble。〃
Cynthia asked him； 〃Don't you think a man should fight for what he wants？〃
〃Sure do。〃
I said； 〃So does her husband。 He tried to kill me。〃
〃Gotta watch that。〃
〃I'm not afraid of him；〃 Cynthia said。 〃I'm going to Benning to tell him it's over。〃
The trooper said to her； 〃You be careful； now。〃
〃Make him give me his phone number。〃
〃Well 。。。 I don't 。。。〃 He turned to me。 〃Why don't you just give her your phone number and we can all get out of the sun； here。〃
〃Oh； all right。 Do you have a pencil？〃
He took a pad and pencil out of his pocket； and I told him my phone number and address。 He ripped off the page and handed it to Cynthia。 〃There you are； ma'am。 Now； let's everybody get in their cars and go off to where they got to be。 Okay？〃
I walked back to my Blazer； and Cynthia went to her Mustang。 She called out to me； 〃Saturday。〃
I waved； got into my Blazer； and headed north。 I watched her in my rearview mirror making an illegal U…turn across the center divide； then heading for the exit that would take her to Fort Benning。
Passive？ Paul Brenner； the tiger of Falls Church； passive？ I crossed into the outside lane； cut the wheel hard left； and drove across the center divide through a line of bushes； then spun the Blazer around into the southbound lanes。 〃We'll see who's passive。〃
I caught up with her on the highway to Fort Benning and stayed with her all the way。
