When Randolph went back inside, Elizabeth finished her cigarette, thinking. Thirteen years ago, did
Adrian have enemies? Who knew? Elizabeth had been so young at the time. After the quarry, she’d
managed her final year of high school and two years at the University of North Carolina before
dropping out to become a cop. That made her twenty on her first day out of training, twenty and fired
up and scared half to death. She wouldn’t have known the hatreds or politics; she couldn’t have.

1: Did Armin's explanations of the terms help you understand this?
2: It's a little unclear, but it probably means that she got out without being seen, or without being caught. This would depend a little on context, and it's not clear from what you have given us what she was doing.

Fired up means excited and ready, as if your internal engine is on.
Scared half to death means you're so scared you almost die (it's symbolic)
Clean means having no problems remaining from the past.
