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?”

“Of course, it could be fake,” Jolie said, her voice cold. “You talk with your eyes all over the place, and you freeze when you’re busted. Your heart pounds, and you breathe like you just sprinted. Those are classic signs of lying.”

She shrugged. “I study bio–psychology at Westwood University.”

Westwood University was a top–tier school. Everyone at the table perked up at that.

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.”

Before the girl could say anything, she watched in disbelief as everyone at the table sprang into action, treating her like a joke to pass the time.

“What’s the rush? The station is short–staffed, and I was on patrol nearby. Here’s the lie detector paper. Do you have a new case? Need any help?” Bennett took off his hat, wiped his sweaty brow, and took a sip of his drink.

He looked around, but nothing seemed like a serious crime scene.

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.
