The cage at the back of the motor carriage looks rather uncomfortable. Four shiny hubcaps are stacked against the seat. Their silver edges sparkle in the dark.

In the cabin you see a set of steering levers, a radio on a hook, a pull-out toolbox and the soft glow of the fuel pre-heater gauge.

"They're spinner hubcaps -- frivolous things you put on your wheels. When the wheels come to a stop," he makes a spinning motion with his hands, "the caps keep on spinning. There's no real use for them, it's just for vanity."

"No, no. That would be silly. I just..." He hesitates. "I don't know why I kept them. It doesn't matter. I couldn't put them on this MC anyway. A cop with spinners -- that would be outrageous."

The spinners shine so bright they reflect on the lieutenant's glasses. He doesn't say anything either.

The dashboard lights up with orange glow. The rounds per minute gauge jumps and the engine of the Coupris Kineema comes to life with a whiny growl.
