For the next few seconds, the only sound was of him opening the seal on his baggie and taking huge chomps out of the cookies. “I’ve never seen a cookie that huge,” I said, trying my best to sound disgusted.

For some reason, sitting in the cold room of detention, it seemed more serious than it had before. There was something dark and brooding about the pawn sitting alone at the center of my desk. “Was there anything else with the piece?” I asked, flicking the pawn over. “Everyone else got a clue with theirs.” Nodding, Gavin pulled out a rusted metal combination lock.”
