Celina Juarez:
Where's Lucy? Haven't heard from her all day.

Aaron Thorsen:
She didn't show up for roll call, huh?

John Nolan:
I checked, she's off today. Sick days.

Angela Lopez:
Yeah, she mentioned she's been feeling off lately.

Bailey Nune:
That's not good. She never calls out.

Celina Juarez:
She's been telling me she's exhausted for days now. Like, barely any energy.

Aaron Thorsen:
That's strange. She hasn't mentioned it to me.

Angela Lopez:
She didn't even text back last night.

Bailey Nune:
She's definitely not her usual self.

John Nolan:
Have you checked on her, Celina?

Celina Juarez:
I tried calling, but no answer. I'm going over after this.

Angela Lopez:
Good idea. I don't like this.

Bailey Nune:
Same. She can't just sleep through all of this.

(A few minutes later...)

Celina Juarez:
I'm at her door. No answer. I'm trying the back.

Bailey Nune:
Did she lock herself out or something?

Angela Lopez:
Maybe just out of it?

Celina Juarez:
She's inside. Door's unlocked. Going in now.

Aaron Thorsen:
What's going on?

Celina Juarez:
She's in bed, curled up with a bunch of blankets. She's sweating and looks pale.

John Nolan:
Is she okay?

Celina Juarez:
Not sure. I'm sitting with her now. She's barely responsive.

Bailey Nune:
Maybe she's just running a fever.

Celina Juarez:
Yeah, I think so. She's not moving much. Just groaning when I try to wake her.

Angela Lopez:
She didn't even text any of us?

Celina Juarez:
Nope. It's like she just gave up on everything.

John Nolan:
That's concerning.

Bailey Nune:
I think she needs to see a doctor.

Celina Juarez:
I'm taking her to urgent care.

Aaron Thorsen:
Should we meet you there?

Celina Juarez:
Not yet. I'll keep you updated.

Angela Lopez:
Let us know if you need backup.

Celina Juarez:
Will do.

(A while later...)

Celina Juarez:
Okay, update: doctor says it's a bad flu. She's just really run down.

Bailey Nune:
Phew. Not something more serious.

John Nolan:
Still, she's out of it.

Angela Lopez:
Make sure she rests.

Celina Juarez:
I'll stay with her for now. She's knocked out.

Bailey Nune:
Glad it's nothing worse.

Aaron Thorsen:
Yeah, me too. She'll bounce back.

Celina Juarez:
Thanks, guys. I'll keep you posted.
