There was a cop in the lobby by now, asking questions.

The cops asked a few questions, then let the whole thing drop.

In a long and interesting life, it was the first time a cop had ever asked me to give him the finger.

It was a question every cop they'd talked to had asked.

- the cops can't even ask him the time, just like at home.

The cop asked if he could come in and take a look.

Wanted to know why the cops were asking him questions.

The French cop asked a lot of questions, getting more suspicious all the time, then took me in.

"Like I said, the cops were here asking questions, talking about her."
