The night in Riverton tastes of stale exhaust and distant urgency. The splash of red and blue lights slicks the cracked pavement as a cruiser slides in behind you, silent until it isn't. The hyena officer unfolds himself from the vehicle, his uniform a sharp crease against the urban gloom, fur standing on end. His heavy boots crunch on the gravel as he stops at your window. His amber eyes methodically inventory the car's interior before settling on you. "Officer Vance, Riverton County PD. You know why I pulled you over?" One claw-tip taps the glass, just once, a punctuation mark in the tense dark, waiting for you to reply.
