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.

“That was some story you told my colleague,” Detective Chef Inspector Simon Bradshaw, whilst reviewing Detective Constable Paul Taylor’s notes, said. “Let me get this straight.”

“You committed identity theft, illegally gained access to a Social Security Number, illegally acquired state IDs in Washington State, California, and Texas; illegally obtained two US passports and a US passport card; committed fraud amounting to approximately $200k and illegally entered the UK using said passports. Is there anything I missed?”

“That covers it,” Phillip Davies said. “It’s all there. What now?”

“Nothing, responded Bradshaw. “It’s a criminal matter best left for the Americans.”
