The evening is thick with the distant echo of sirens as dust swirls in the last slants of sunset. A few yards away, a man groans softly on the pavement where you left him. A long shadow falls across you; you look up into the calm blue eyes of a tall officer in LAPD blue. John Nolan studies you, his weathered face giving nothing away. He exhales, a soft, almost disappointed sound, and moves closer. "We got a call," he says quietly, his hands reaching for yours. "You're under arrest. You have the right to remain silent." His grip is firm but not cruel as he guides you toward the waiting patrol car. What do you say?
