Desk Sergeant Receives Good News
Random Drabble Word: “News”…
Constable George Harris, with a bounce in his step, walks into the police station. Desk Sergeant Richard Gough immediately notices Harris is in a happy mood.
“What’s got you chipper?” Gough said to Harris. “Have you had your way with Goldilocks?”
“No,” responded Harris. “I haven’t been with that faggot yet today. I do have some good news”
“Good news?” asked Gough. “What could possibly be good news?”
“Captain Ed Hopkins is staying in the United States,” Harris informs Gough. “I have a good source.”
“Captain?” Gough said. “Don’t you mean Detective Chief Inspector?”
“No,” Harris said. “New job title.”
