He wasnвЂ™t a buyer, but an undercover detective. вЂњPolice,вЂќ the stranger announced, showing her a badge. Someone was outside the open car window, waving something in her face.

The girl opened his car door, telling him it would be $80. He motioned for what he wanted and promised he wasnвЂ™t a cop. She didnвЂ™t seem as young as the Hispanic-looking girl behind her, but the man wasnвЂ™t going to be picky. She was petite and Black, with brown eyes magnified by extra-long fake eyelashes. вЂњNo hablo InglГ©s,вЂќ he said, as a girl in a tight, pink dress stepped forward. The man rolled down his passenger-side window, as he had so many times before.
