I sighed. "What else? You're too big forto carry."
"Bry..." Suddenly, the door burst open, and Margaret rushed in, lookingm distraught Bry, Theard you were hurt. Where? Is it bad?" Bryant shot Kevin a questioning look.
Regretting it, Kevin slapped his mouth before hurriedly explaining, "... I just went to get your phone...."}]
