The youth spread his arms wide to facilitate the search. Evan, taken aback by his assurance, waited the result anxiously. The patrolman thrust his hand in his breast pocket.
"Nothing here," he said indifferently.
Evan's heart sank. "Are you sure?" he said.
"Look for yourself if you want."
"Search him thoroughly," commanded the Lieutenant.
But Evan already guessed that he had been tricked.
No money was found except a dollar bill and some change.
"Is this it?" asked the patrolman solemnly.
The youth smiled.
Evan waved it away.
