## Caption

He hadn’t shown up to practice for three days. He’d been in contact, citing personal reasons for his sudden absence. Did he see it coming? Was he guilty? Maybe I’ll never know.

On Wednesday, Sept. 28 at 4:30 p.m., my swim team and I were questioning why Alex Morris hadn’t sent us a workout to complete. Even if he was gone for practice, he always sent a workout. Our assistant coach had to make it up as we went.

200 meters in, I wondered if it was a funeral. Maybe a sudden death in his family. He never just left without a word.

We didn’t know that he was arrested that morning after being accused of five counts of sexual exploitation of minors. I wouldn’t know until 8 that night when I collapsed in tears onto the library floor during our Harbinger deadline and had to be driven home by a friend before finishing my editorial.
