Robert Crais Quote

Two attendants were on duty in the parking lot. Scott parked across their entrance, and got out. The older attendant was a Latin man in his fifties with short black hair and a red vest. He hurried over when he saw Scott block their drive, but pulled up short when he saw Scott’s uniform. This was the cop effect. He said, You wan’ to park? Scott let Maggie out. The man saw her, and took a step back. This was the German shepherd effect. Scott
