Emmie’s Test

Emmie and Carmen clutched stacks of flyers featuring Jean’s smiling face and walked through the bustling quad, pausing to pin flyers to cluttered bulletin boards, signposts, and trees. A crisp wind fought to steal the flyers from their hands.

Emmie approached a small group of students chatting while sitting on the lawn. “Excuse me,” she said, leaning down and handing them a flyer. “My roommate is missing. Have you seen her?” The students dropped the flyer on the ground, shook their heads, and returned to their conversations. Emmie turned toward Carmen. “No one cares. Their fellow student is missin’, and they couldn’t care less,” she huffed.

“They don’t know her like we do. Besides, this is a large campus. What are the odds they would see her even if she wasn’t missing? I don’t think there’s a good chance we’ll find her this way.”

“Are you saying you wanna quit?”

“I’m not saying we should quit. At least, not yet. I’m saying that we should be realistic and not expect to find her by handing out flyers. I mean, do you really think she is wandering around campus after being in a horrific car crash? I don’t think so,” Carmen said.

“You can’t be sure who may have information. Maybe another student witnessed the accident. Or perhaps she’s roaming around campus after sufferin’ from amnesia because of the car accident.”

Carmen chuckled. “Really? You don’t really believe that, do you?”

“I’m just sayin’, you never know what you’ll find,” Emmie said as she shoved a flyer at a student passing by her. The other student batted his arm at the flyer, forcing it to float through the air. “We won’t find anything if we don’t look.”

“I don’t mind looking. I just think we need to adjust our expectations.”

After canvassing for a couple of hours, Emmie received an email notification on her phone from the Starlight Organization. She read the notification and smiled. “It looks like I made the cut.”

Carmen scrunched her brows. “The cut?”

“Yeah, check your email. I just received a link from that secret society to schedule my health exams. Tell me which date you prefer. Then we can go together.”

Carmen slid her phone out of her stylish leather purse and scanned her email messages. “I don’t see anything. Maybe they didn’t select me for the next step.”

“Check your Spam folder.”

“I did. Nothing’s there.”

“They might not have notified everyone at the same time. Keep checking.”

Carmen sighed. “I wonder why they didn’t pick me.”

“Just keep checking your email.” Emmie was excited about the opportunity to join the Starlight Organization’s student group. As she scheduled her health exams, she noticed an option to consent to an “enhanced evaluation.” Curious, she checked the box, wondering if it had anything to do with the strange tech she glimpsed at the interview. She couldn’t wait to see what was in store for her and if it could lead her to Jean’s whereabouts.
