The driver took the last turn sharply, the black sedan gliding to a halt beneath the bright canopy of the hospital's emergency entrance.
Automatic glass doors slid open, spilling harsh white light onto the rain-slick pavement.
Orderlies were already waiting with gurneys, the hum of engines and the wail of a fading siren still hanging in the air. A paramedic jogged over to the car, bowing slightly.

Without a word, Old Master Shen stepped out, helping his wife from the car. The night air was sharp, smelling faintly of rain and exhaust, but inside the hospital the scent changed abruptly to antiseptic and cold metal.
