Abbott asked, “Male or female?”

Amanda scratched her hair and answered honestly, “Male.”

Abbott asked the two men to wait for him outside the door. He walked in and continued, “Did he stay here overnight?”

Closing the door, Amanda answered frankly, “Yeah.”

Abbott looked at her. Obviously, he was surprised.
