Alister Sheppard, after entering the police station, made his presence known to Desk Sergeant Richard Gough.

“Can I help you with something?” noting Sheppard standing at the desk, Gough said in a curious tone.

“I need a faggot,” Sheppard responded. “One I can bounce on my knee.”

“I’ve never heard it called that before,” with a laugh, Gough said. “I have just the faggot.”

Gough took Sheppard down to The Nunnery. Unsurprisingly, on arriving outside David Sheppard’s cell, the two men find Constable George Harris exiting.

“Harris spends a lot of time with Goldilocks,” Gough informed Sheppard.

Sheppard smiles warmly.

A drabble consists of exactly 100 words. The read time is short. Please remain with the article for at least 30 seconds. I would appreciate it if you would leave a comment, highlight anything of interest, and clap.
