The girl froze, her voice dying mid–sentence. She whipped her head around and glared at Quinlyn. “What did you say? My belly is so big. How could it be fake?”

Larry spoke up, “We can check. I heard the cops have lie detector paper. Let’s get Mr. Youngblood to bring some over.”

“That’s a great idea. I’ll call him,” Stanley said, grabbing his phone.

Joseph thought for a second. “At this stage of pregnancy, we could do an amniocentesis to test the DNA. I’ll get the equipment brought over.”

At that moment, Claude quickly sat down, straightened his legs, placed his hands on his knees, and said in a very proper manner, “Mr. Youngblood, I think I’ve been scammed.”

Now, a police officer and a complainant were both there. After listening to the whole story, Bennett was speechless. He glanced at the young people at the table and felt like he’d been pranked for the first time.
