First I had to get in. I rang the doorbell. Nobody from inside came to get the door, but within thirty seconds another girl arrived to enter the dorm herself. I walked in after her.

"Jenn Vinson lives here, right?" I asked.
"Who?"
"Jenn. Um, Jenny? Jennifer? Room... um... she's on the second floor, she says."
"Oh. Maybe. I don't really know the people on the second floor."
"Oh. Ok. Well, I'll see."

For some reason, I still thought I had the right dorm.

I walked up the steps and wandered around, looking for a room with Jenn's name and a roommate's name on the door, as advertised. Eventually I found it, with no note to me at all. Bad news.

The door was locked by a deadbolt, so there wouldn't be a subtle way for me to break in. There were no keys hiding in her door decorations.

I wandered around a bit longer, looking for a mailbox in which she could have left her keys or a front desk area or something. I didn't find a thing.

There was only one thing left to do-- find a phone and call Matt.
