Blake suspected something off about his mom’s new boyfriend, Travis. One evening, he overheard Travis on the phone, planning to swindle his mom. Determined to protect her, Blake devised a clever plan.
“Mom, I don’t trust him,” Blake whispered, watching Travis flip through TV channels.
“Give him a chance,” she replied.
One evening, while Mom was out, Blake heard Travis on the phone. “I’ll get the money and call you. She believes I need it for my mom’s health.”
Blake’s heart pounded. He needed to protect his mom. When she returned, he tried to warn her, but she dismissed his concerns.
Blake, known as a tech genius at school, decided to take action. He created a fake call from the police using voice modulation, warning Travis that they were onto his scam and demanding he turn himself in.
Two days later, Blake nervously went to the police station and confessed his plan to Chief Roberts, who gave him a stern warning but agreed to investigate.
To their surprise, Travis showed up at the station with a bag of money. The police arrested him for fraud and theft. Blake’s quick thinking had saved his mom from a dangerous scammer.
Back home, his mom hugged him tightly, tears in her eyes. “Thank you, Blake. You saved me from making a terrible mistake.”
“I’ll always protect you, Mom,” Blake promised, relieved that his plan had worked and his family was safe.
