Just as they stepped out of the car, they froze. Three cop cars drove into the street, their lights flashing and sirens blaring. There were two regular patrol cars and one black SUV with flashing lights on the roof. Han Zhan's eyes widened in surprise. "They beat us to it. How is that possible?"
Han Xin's expression darkened. "Let's go back," he said, getting back into the car. Han Zhan nodded, following suit. Their car drove off just as a man stepped out of the black SUV, dressed in a leather jacket with a badge clipped to his belt. The street was now a flurry of activity, the arrival of the police adding a new layer of tension to the unfolding drama.
