I arrived at work a little late and found my team huddled in S's office. Her daughter, K, was threatening suicide. S was terrified but surprisingly calm. Her son was parked outside the girl's apartment, monitoring. Soon, K left in the car, her boyfriend had given her the car keys and the debit card. She texted S and told her she was in the parking garage with exact whereabouts. S and I jumped in the car because she couldn't stand not knowing if K was safe. I didn't think it was safe to leave her alone in her state of mind and was ready to call the police, but K texted and said it would kill her if S called the police. We wondered if she was parked at the downtown mall parking garage so headed there, but the description of the location didn't fit the garage. K texts her mom and says her debit card doesn't work and she needs lots of money. Demands money. We drive to bank and S deposits $1000 but the transaction still doesn't go through and K is screaming at S to deposit all of her money! (S8000) What does a mom do when she's scared to death her daughter's life is in danger? We go to the airport and S pays for the ticket. We go to lunch. During lunch K calls and tells S she can't get reservations at the nice hotel where she will feel good at. S calls the hotel and makes the reservations. Only rooms left are super deluxe. Bye, bye savings account. S at least feels reasonably assured that her daughter is safe. I, on the other hand, just know that there is a very upset young lady alone in a hotel room in Portland tonight.
