</div>Travis gave Marcel a nod and a slight smile.<br/><br/>"Hi Marcel.  It's a good time of day to get some practice in before classes."<br/><br/>Then he spotted the police car zip by, pulling up in front of the Chem Lab.<br/><br/>"Though not a good day for some people.  I assume you heard about Evelyn Demort?"<br/><br/><a class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fresizing.flixster.com%2F9uve0Tmprl2Fd9vPlCF36AtN7kc%3D%2Ffit-in%2F1152x864%2Fv2%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2Fmedia.baselineresearch.com%2Fimages%2F752511%2F752511_full.jpg&amp;hash=57c13e9096f06597a560bc0b952ff71a" href="https://resizing.flixster.com/9uve0Tmprl2Fd9vPlCF36AtN7kc=/fit-in/1152x864/v2/http://media.baselineresearch.com/images/752511/752511_full.jpg" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">His mother and her partner</a>stepped out of the vehicle, causing him to pause behind a bush so she wouldn't see him.  He must have seemed a little furtive to Marcel, so he felt a sudden need to explain.<br/><br/>"An overly protective mother who happens to be a homicide detective.  She'll probably scold me for being out of my dorm during this campus safety alert if she sees me.  And I can't get back to my dorm without her seeing me."<br/><br/>He glanced around for someplace else to go. "Guess I'll go for coffee at the student union. If the alert didn't close the coffee shop.  Maybe breakfast at the cafeteria.  I suppose everyone is going to have to start traveling around campus in groups, just to be on the safe side." Travis wasn't much of a talker, except when nervous.  Like right now.<br/><br/>Finally coming to a decision he said, "Breakfast.  Definitely.  You going that way, Marcel?"
