Suddenly there was a squeal of tires, and the vehicle shot forward.“What are you doing?” Bucky demanded.“I’m drivin’, baby.”“You’re crazy, Shultz! It’s only a traffic ticket. Pull over!”Just ahead railroad warning lights began to ding. “There we go!” Jonathan muttered, a strange note of exhilaration in his voice. To the left, a train approached the crossing.
