 ===== Gaming a Police Encounter =====
 When encountering cops, draw 1 card:
-  * Spades means that the cops are a criminals themselves, active partners with gangsters.
+  * **Spades** means that the cops are a criminals themselves, active partners with gangsters.
-  * Hearts means they undercooked and will do anything for a buck.
+  * **Hearts** means they are crooked and will do anything for a buck.

+  * **Diamond** means they are basically honest but afraid of the crooks and won't stick their necks out.
-  * Clubs mean they are good cops.
+  * **Clubs** mean they are good cops.
-  * If a Joker is drawn, all bets are off.  Changes are the police aren't what they say they are at all.
+  * **Non-face cards** indicate how much the cop leans toward the suit's meaning.  For example, a 2 of Spades might just be flirting with becoming a criminal, while a 10 of Spades has deep gangster connections.  A 2 of Diamonds might indicate a cop who would only give up if a weapon is pulled on them, while a 10 of Diamonds will give up at just the mention of gangster revenge.
+  * **Face cards** indicate that the officer(s) in question are unique in some way.  Although they represent the suit fully, perhaps they have a unique talent, trait, or quirk.  All these characters should be given names, are considered to be wild cards, and they may reappear in the story.
+  * If a **Joker** is drawn, all bets are off.  Chances are the police aren't what they say they are at all.
