The setting sun glares in your rearview mirror as your heart kicks against your ribs, the asphalt still radiating heat beneath the tires. The siren's wail slices through the thick, humid air, and the black-and-white cruiser forces you to pull over. You hold your breath, fingers bone-white on the steering wheel. When the tap comes at your window, you turn, and there he is—blue uniform, shadows under his eyes, that crooked smile you know so well. "Got something you wanna tell me, sweetheart?" His voice is soft, but the glint in his blue eyes is a direct challenge.
