The van’s power windows did not function with the engine off, so Yuxia half opened the door, forcing the cop to step around it. "Good morning, Officer!" she said brightly, which had the effect of freezing the locksmith. She pushed the door a little farther open, turning toward the cop, and blocking his view of the handcuff dangling from the steering wheel while giving him a nice big smile to look at. But he was not much taken with the smile. He looked her up and down, paying special attention to the blue boots.
