Arlo, in his frantic mission to save Remi, darted from one location to another, barely registering the words of those around him.
He found himself at his old school after a decade, but nostalgia for the football field where he used to play or the classrooms where he studied was the last thing on his mind. He made a beeline for the school office.
A middle-aged woman, clad in a long blue formal dress and sporting heavy makeup, sat behind a desk. She questioned Arlo's presence.
Arlo recounted his predicament and relayed what Doctor Paul had told him. After listening to his story, she responded,
"Sorry for what happened. We can only imagine what you're going through, but we can't disclose another student's information without their consent or that of their spouse or parents. However, we can provide you with your information if you complete a form."
