CHAPTER 51
Henty had set the cruise control to 55 milesperhour. She didn’t want anybody to stop her for any reason whatsoever.
She was fighting to stay awake. It was boring driving across Wyoming in the middle of the night, requiring a minimum of skill and attention except for crossing the mountains and, on modern roads those weren’t a big deal either. She played the radio very loudly and every fifteen minutes cut in on the police band but there was no excitement out here, only some chat about reinforcements being sent to Cheyenne where the populace was destroying their city to winkle out the Runner. She met several fire engines heading towards Cheyenne.
If the Watcheyes in the sparse and sparsely populated towns she passed through saw and recorded her passing, nobody was manning the monitors and in the morning, when they played the tapes back, she'd be long gone and the trail would be cold. By now only morons wouldn’t know she was heading across America arrow straight on Interstate 80.
“Is it time to leave Interstate 80?” Henty asked herself aloud, punching up the route finder.
A single glance told her the only alternative was US-50 onto which she could turn once past Salt Lake City — but that rejoined Interstate 80 on the far side of Nevada. Henty doubtfully traced some other possible routes with her finger. They were all huge detours. She came back to US-50: it wasn’t too much of a detour and she could bypass Salt Lake City whereas on I/S-80 it was impossible to give Salt Lake City a miss. Having made up her mind, Henty relaxed.
