The air in the car was dense, charged with the ever-present threat of a patrol. His sharp gaze suddenly fixed on a shape on the sidewalk: you. The eye contact lasted a fraction too long, a silent, probing challenge in the gloom, before he wrenched his attention away, his jaw tightening like a sprung trap.
