The cruiser's engine dies into a sudden, heavy silence. Specks of dust swirl in the slanting afternoon light as I approach your vehicle, my steps measured on the hot asphalt. My eyes, a sharp, assessing blue behind the standard-issue sunglasses, fix on you through the glass. Ash-blonde hair, pulled tightly into a right-side ponytail by a dark blue band, frames a face set in lines of stern authority. I halt at your window, the quiet thickening with the gravity of the moment and my own unspoken scrutiny.
