The Lost Roommate

Last Wednesday, around 9:30pm our roommate DaLynn announced that she was going for a run. She had been talking about how much she had to do that night so she told us that she would be gone for about 30 minutes. At around 11:00 our roommate Ariel asked us if we had heard from DaLynn. We then realized that her 30 minute run had turned into a 90 minute absence. The first instinct was to call DaLynn's cousin, so Ariel did that; no answer. The next thing we knew, W was in the car(in PJ's, slippers, and wet hair) with Ariel calling out for DaLynn around Rexburg. Since DaLynn had mentioned that she needed to get a roll of quarters from Broulim's(the local grocery store for you non-Rexburgians), we stopped there and asked if they had seen her. They replied that she had been in, but they were out of quarters so she had left empty-handed. We then ventured to Wal-Mart and around Rexburg again with no sign of the lost roommate. Finally, we decided to check the hospital to see if anyone had been brought in that night. They informed us that no one had been in but we could file a police report with the local police if we wanted. We decided to do this because by this point it had been over 2 hours since she left.

Meanwhile, A and the 5th roommate Heather got in the car to go on a hunt of their own. They even searched the famous "gardens" on campus in case someone had stashed poor DaLynn's body there. No luck.

After the police report was filed, the officer told us he was going to meet us at our apartment. While the officer was sitting in our parking lot, the 4 investigating roommates looked up and saw DaLynn. She saw everyone standing outside and thought something exciting had happened. When we inquired where on earth she had been, she informed us that she had been eating ice cream with her cousin(who had received 4 phone calls and multiple text messages with no responses). Needless to say, we were relieved, angry, and amused all at once.

Just another adventure in the lives of AndWhit. Adios!! A&W
