Routine ID checks.
[The lie slides easily off her tongue despite the rain, and two boys clearly unrelated that stand still too close to the prisoners. It's not entirely incorrect; if she asked right now for their IDs, they'd have to provide, and all of this would be the truth.

Yeah? Let's see 'em then.
[Briefly, she prays that both of them have their IDs on them.]
