On the Run

My hands tightened on the wheel, my posture straightening as the flashing blue and red lights appeared behind me.
"Nothing to see here." I mumbled, watching the approaching lights in my review mirror. I was going the speed limit, I was staying out of the fast lane. Nothing out of the ordinary. Just another one of your average joes, heading home after a long day at work. 
I exhaled as the cop sped past me on the left, heading who knew where. 
But thankfully, not after me.
I eased on the gas a little. The sooner I got off the freeway and onto the side roads, the better.
