Gabriel put away his phone just as the interrogating officer walked in.

The officer frowned at him and demanded his phone before asking in a cold voice, "Name?"

Another officer was seated at a computer, ready to pull up the man's identity records.

Gabriel leaned back in his chair, calmly stating, "Gabriel Carnes."

The other officer, curious, glanced over, and his stern expression slowly dissolved into one of respect as he, too, stood up and gave Gabriel the highest form of salute. "Please, wait a moment!"

Both officers looked nervously at Gabriel as they backed out of the room.
