Name, Rank, Serial Number

The door opened, as the loud music stopped. After a few moments, a man brought in a desk.

"Sergeant Jeff Becker, 848732B."

He placed the desk, making sure it was lined up, before ducking back out and bringing in a chair.

"Sergeant Jeff Becker, 848732B."

He walked out, the door closing.

The door reopened.

"Sergeant Jeff Becker, 848732B."

A woman walked in and placed her briefcase down, the clasps snapping open as she began to unpack its contents onto the desk, finishing with a picture of his daughter, taken that morning, it looked like.

"What do you want to know?"
