Exhausted, Mr. Wilshire watched as the entirety of Mountain View High School filed into the school's gym and took their seats among the bleachers. He had called this assembly not only for himself, but also for the staff and students. He could see the disappearance of Lillian Turner was taking it's toll on teachers and students alike. Everyone seemed distracted, tired, and some were even scared. He had heard that the students were passing around rumors that a serial killer on the loose. Ridiculous, but not surprising. 

Being in class, or at work, didn't seem to be helping anyone - including himself. He had once been close to the Turner family, though they grew apart once William Turner (the Mayor) had begun his political journey. The politics of a school district was about as much as Alfred could stomach. Nonetheless, he still cared for them. Lillian had always been the brightest light in the room whenever she was around, even as a child. The thought of something awful happening to her.... 

He couldn't think of that now. 

[color=Tomato]"Alright everyone."[/color] He stepped up to the podium that had been set up on the gym floor, complete with microphone. [color=Tomato]"Quiet down now."[/color] Only half of the students seemed to take notice and halt their conversations. He cleared his throat, loudly, into the microphone. [color=Tomato]"AHEM... I guess you all want extra homework over the break?"[/color] That worked. 

He chuckled as the gym fell silent, all eyes on him in horror. [color=Tomato]"That's more like it. Now, this isn't an easy topic to talk about, so I'll just get on with it."[/color] He searched the crowd, making eye contact with every student that he could.

[color=Tomato]"As I'm sure you all know, we've lost a pillar of our community recently. I know that some of you have been affected directly. Many of you probably remember her from the school functions she has helped us with. She has donated a lot of time, effort, and even money to help our schools thrive."[/color] He paused, letting the students search their memories for everything Lillian Turner had done for them. Hell, the girl had even volunteered to be a tutor for so many of the students here. [color=Tomato]"I want you all to know that you can come to me or any of your teachers if you are struggling with anything. Don't be afraid to talk about it, to reach out. This is a difficult time... We as a community need to come together and support each other."[/color]

Some of the students, he could tell, were not impressed with this speech. They just wanted to get out of here and enjoy the rest of the day. He supposed he should let them. Dragging it out wasn't going to do anyone any favors. 

[color=Tomato]"With that said, we are going to close down school for the rest of the day. If you can, please attend the press conference for Ms. Turner this afternoon at the community center."[/color] He paused for a moment, hearing the students begin to whisper to one another. [color=Tomato]"Also, we have decided to close for the rest of the week. In honor of Lillian. I know that Spring Break is next week, I didn't forget. Please enjoy your extended holiday, students. Stay safe, and help each other in this time of need. Assembly dismissed."[/color]
