Dance Club Meeting - 7 PM FHT

Rory sits cross-legged on a table, waiting for the others to show up.

She looks at her watch every few minutes, wanting to keep the meeting as short as possible. Drawing it out seems...morbid.

Rory nods. "True. Do any students know? Other than me and Alanna and the," she thinks for a second, "three people we've told?"

I don't know how many students know, Rory. I think we should try to keep it quiet. I know the Dean and the authorities are working on it. The kids will find out soon enough.

"I agree. The only ones who know are the people who were there when Alanna told me, and my boyfriend. As far as I know, anyway. And...we don't need people in a panic."

Right. And I don't know if her...[she swallows hard]...if her parents have been notified.

Rory gasps. "Oh, I hadn't even thought of her parents. I don't think she had anyone come for the weekend - at least, no one came through the checkpoint looking for her."

Oh, god...I hadn't even thought. Some of the kids here don't even have parents. [She begins to tear up] Rory, I'm really sorry, but this won't stay secret if I stick around. Can you run it, or should we just put a sign on the door?

"I think maybe we should just put a sign up, Professor Cregg," Rory says, her own voice cracking a little. "Did you know her very well?"

Not really, no. But I kind of think of all of you as my kids...and I've had this happen before. Murder. It's so senseless. Just stupid..[she shakes her head and looks down, willing herself not to cry]

"Professor Cregg," Rory says softly, reaching a hand out to touch her arm. "Do you want me to call the Doctor or anything?"

No sweetie...but I'm going to go. You do what you think is right. We'll see how it goes next week, ok?

Rory nods. "Definitely. Play it by ear, and all."

[She gives Rory a light hug] Hang in there, kiddo. I'll see you in class tomorrow. We have a staff meeting, so if you want, I'll tell you what I learn after Comm, ok?

"Oh, I would love that, Professor Cregg," Rory says, grateful. "Thank you."
