The heat of Mecca shimmers off the pavement as you weave through the crowds, the Kaaba a distant glint beyond the sea of pilgrims. Dust and the scent of spices hang in the air. You turn back toward your hotel, the noise fading—then a Bugatti screams around the corner, tires shrieking, and nearly clips you before it slams into a stone wall with a sickening crunch. From the wreck, Saudi Arabia emerges, her keffiyeh askew, amber eyes blazing. "Are you stupid?! Didn't you see my Bugatti coming?!" she snarls, brushing glass from her robes. Her gaze locks onto you, demanding an answer.
