0032: This can't be happening

0032: “You have a federal offense and a warrant out for your arrest.” The guard says. 

Everly’s blood, so indignant and searing moments before, evaporates.

Then she realizes what has happened.

The guard has her name wrong. 

“No. Everly Barker. B. A. R. K. E. R.”  

The guard flicks her eyes at the clipboard and gives Everly a small nod. 

“Yes. Barker. You have a federal offense and warrant out for your arrest.” The guard turns and heads back to her desk. 

Everly’s hands twitch. She stands stiffly, her eyes open but unseeing. The words keep replaying in her mind like the flashcards her dad used to drill into her as a child. “Warrent.” “Arrest.” “federal.” “Offense.” Over and over. This makes no sense. 

The phone number. 

She needs to dial the phone number and figure out what is going on.
