After I tuck my notebook into my bag, I throw it back on my shoulder and scan the room one last time for clues.

Nothing.

I head for the door to let myself out but stop when I see a blue and yellow crumpled pamphlet sitting on top of the trash in the tiny bin near the door. Drea doesn’t gripe at me for digging in her trash, but I also don’t stall any longer. I grab the pamphlet on my way out.

Once I’m in the Fabulosa hallway again, I hurry toward the building lobby. As soon as I find an armchair, I plop down and roll out the crumpled pamphlet.

Crowne Unity Project.

“Never heard of it,” I mutter as I start reading.

The Crowne Unity Project is a gift to the world. We make it our mission to uplift and transform individuals who have been left behind in modern society, providing them with the necessary resources and support they need to reach their full potential and contribute meaningfully to the world.

I get the odd sensation of someone watching me, but when I look up and scan the lobby, I discover I’m the only one here. This whole thing is creeping me out. I quickly check my texts, but Megan has left me on unread.

Through rehabilitation, empowerment, and community building, the Crowne Unity Project, or CUP, will not only teach others to be their best but to also soar above anything they could ever have imagined.

Then it goes on to list all the bulleted things they offer.

education

mentorship

employment opportunities

psychological counseling
