Chapter 57

Kyle's sudden question startled Berry so much that her spoon fell right into the soup, splashing hot liquid everywhere.

She burned her hand but tried to keep a straight face. She glanced around nervously but was relieved no one seemed to notice.

Walter turned around and met Kyle's calm gaze. After a brief pause, he said, "Yes, I found it."
