Excerpt: "License, registration, perhaps a handshake?" the cop said, coming up next to her. Meiling blinked and ran the English back through her head-- then realized it was Chinese.

"I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about," Meiling practiced, sinking down in the seat. It figured. One week in this country and she'd already been pulled over. She was sure the cop had been looking for someone foreign. No matter that tons of Asian tourists choked London. She was a target.

Eriol leaned in the car window, his uniform neat and unruffled, just like his face. He winked.

"Sakura told me you were in town," he said. "You could try to speed less, you know. It's a devil tracking you down, but better me than any of the other local policemen."

Meiling grinned.
