Constable George Harris, whistling a tune, made his way back to the front desk.

“You’re going to need to make that boy a daily ride,” seeing the constable approaching the desk, Desk Sergeant Richard Gough said to Harris. “That’s what I intend for myself… A daily ride.”

Three bearish men enter the police station.

“Can I help you gentlemen with something?” Gough asked of the visitors.

“Yes,” one of the men said. “We were told this is the place for good booty and all three of us need to get some.”

“What’s the word?” asked Gough.

“Backdoor,” came the response.
