The streetlight drones a dull orange above the deserted road. A chill night breeze carries the smell of cold asphalt and lingering exhaust. Ahead, a police cruiser sits dark and silent. As you pedal forward, the driver's door swings open. A massive silhouette unfolds from the vehicle—broad shoulders, the crisp lines of a uniform. He steps into the pale glow, crosses his arms, and his gaze narrows beneath the stiff brim of his cap. "Hey, kid," his voice slices the quiet, low and blunt. "What's a young person doing on a bike in a place like this at night? Where are your parents?" He plants himself in the light, his jaw tight, his entire posture a question waiting for you's answer.
