"Not my area, so I don't know the details." the officer says, "But, 
I've heard Grand Theft and Fraud tossed around upstairs."

"Nothing so crude as taking blood." he says taking out a swab in a 
plastic sheath, "Just let me run this over the inside of your cheek."

If Lysia complies, the officer does just that, extracting a bit of
