So, let me introduce you all to the structure of this chapter (it's gonna be another experimental one). Throughout this section, we're going to get a series of scenes depicting what's going on during the story's present day (as per any other section, really). However, interspersed between every scene, we'll get these flashbacks to the day of Maria's expulsion, specifically during that hour between the first and second pages here. From these, we'll fill in the blanks on what happened with Maria.
And then we'll just hop back to the present to catch back up with everyone in the aftermath since then. I just hope it won't make things too confusing, jumping around like this. ^^;
...Hmmm...
Emily has her phone out so it has to be the home of someone on her phone but not Maria's...
That and it's probably not Chase... I hope.
I think I know who it is but I'm just gonna see how this plays out :)
I'm mainly thinking Aiken, Vince, or Blaire. Blaire I think is the most likely candidate.
Chase could be manipulated on grounds of pregnancy but I wouldn't touch that man with a ten foot pole, unless it has handcuffs on the end.
Aiken has been making the strides to become LGBT friendly thanks to Rain.
Vince is close to Rain and Fara and therfore the entire group has a strong connection, plus he is a therapist. However, mandated reporter might come into play concerning runaway teenagers.
Baire, who we recently saw Emily text, who seems to be a good person. No one but Emily has their phone number.
The Goddess of all Lesbians, although no one has her number and she's probably relaxing in a spa on Lesbos Island. May she swoop down from the sky and bless Maria with the Flaming Dyke Sword that turns anyone touched by its blade into a Yuri fan.
They wouldn't really have a reason to think of Vince. They don't even know he exists since they don't know Rain is seeing a therapist. Also, my therapist told me that she would be breaking confidentiality if she told someone if I was planning to run away, as long as she thought I could take care of myself. Granted if that's a state law, Indiana and New York could differ on that (but Indiana is a pretty fuckin red state so it's probably better in New York if anything).
But even then, Maria isn't his patient so there's no confidentiality to speak of
also Emily doesn't have Vince's contact info
but she could probably find it online
but id be pretty suspicious if i got a random call or email from a girl claiming to be the friend of my ex(?) girlfriend's niece who is also my patient
Connie.exe has stopped working, Windows is looking for a solution to the problem
My immediate guess is Blair (particularly because of what happens in 1017: Texting in Class), and by the looks of it a lot of other people have come to the same conclusion.
Which of course leaves the possibility that it's not, just to fool us all. :p
The flashbacks interspersed with the main story is a structure that I like in plays. I rarely seen it in comics, aside from Sister Claire where the Missing Moments work as the flashbacks.
That sounds like an amazing concept. I am excited to see it unfold. it helps build tension as we ourselves don't know for sure where maria is and we don't know how close the parents (and maybe others) are to finding her. and meanwhile we see the search party develop while maria's story unfolds.
Also, now that I think about it, I think I know where she is.
well played Jocelyn ;-)

Rain for sure is a contact.
