The deputy team said, "Kid, I've heard that line too many times. You need to show some actual results." He glanced around, "Where's Marcus? I was wondering why the room is so quiet. Where did that guy go?"
Luke said, "I just got a call. Marcus's wife is about to give birth, and he's at the hospital with her."
The deputy team mused, "Wow, that guy's going to have a kid. Hope he'll be a good father."
Luke spoke confidently, "He will be."
The deputy team asked, "Do you guys think he'll have a son or a daughter?"
Jackson replied, "Son."
Jenny said, "Daughter."
The deputy team laughed, "Why don't we bet on it? I'll be the bookmaker.
Captain, what do you think?"
Luke shrugged, "Why not? I'll bet one hundred US Dollars, girl."
Jackson said, "I don't have that much allowance. I'll bet fifty US Dollars, boy."
The deputy team called out to the others, "Guys, what are you standing around for? Place your bets..."
...
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
