2:00 PM.

An unusual case landed at the police station.

Mars tugged at Easton, "Do you recognize me?"

Easton squinted at Mars, "You look familiar."

Mars tried again, "Do you know who Roberto Arrowood is?"

Easton's eyes widened. "Wait, you're Lord Mars!"

Mars, still sweating, nodded. "Finally, we can communicate. Just now, on the main road, your guys didn't investigate or ask questions. They just confiscated our IDs and brought us here. Do we look like child traffickers to you?"

Easton, who had cracked the Vivian case last time and was Chad's colleague, had received a call from a concerned citizen about suspected child trafficking. Without hesitation, he dispatched officers to the scene. Anything involving kids was a big deal. When they arrived, they didn't listen to explanations and just brought everyone in for questioning. So, four distinguished gentlemen ended up at the police station because of a crying baby.

"Mars, what's going on?" Easton knew these upper-class folks. Child trafficking seemed far-fetched.

Mars pointed at Henry, now quiet in Teddy's arms, gnawing on his little hand. "This is our godson. Just because he loves to cry, people thought we couldn't take care of him, and some bystanders assumed we'd kidnapped him."

Easton looked at the adorable Henry lying in Teddy's arms, his chubby face incredibly endearing. When they first arrived, Henry's loud crying had tugged at their hearts. Ironically, he only wanted his godfathers to hold him, crying even louder when anyone else tried. "What are his parents' names, and do you have his birth certificate? We need to notify his parents to come in for verification. The law doesn't care about status," Easton said earnestly.

Mars, irritated, sat down. "His dad is Andre, his mom is Mia. Call his dad."
