VL 249 F1

[Bekah]

I also think it just means slowly although perhaps DL is more or less leading -  Howie and Sledge are following her lead as to which direction and speed -  (not leading as  "in front of").   Slowly tagging along is good,  but definitely "with" her - ("loyal or just in shock,").     

Vineland, p 249:
DL in the meantime had come straggling back to Berkeley, to the workshop off San Pablo, with Howie and Sledge, either loyal to the end or just in shock, walking slack for her, and found they were just about all that was left of 24fps.
