Bad/Good Nite
My visit to a friend's home began rather normally that day. My visits to him had only just begun less than a short time prior to this moment in time because mainly because his wife was not wanting to share him too often once they got married a couple of years ago at that time, and my friend had moved a couple times since I saw him last. I knocked when I got to his front door. My buddy opened the door and immediately introduced me to another friend of his who was sitting upon his couch in the living room, except for one thing, I heard a noise in another area of the house telling me that there was another person there. After the intoduction was made, I sat down on the couch near where my new acquaintance was sitting. My eyes became focused towards that noise I heard. My buddy looked over to where I was focusing on, and began to explain that it was the live in babysitter. He further reminded me of her when his wife left him. All of his and his wife's three kids had been left to him when she took off that previous week. He also reminded me of his crisis with needing a sitter so he could keep his job.

He called her over to where we were and introduced her to me and told my friend that she would be leaving shortly. The kids were at their mom's temporary new place and with just a verbal agreement, would get them on the weekends until she had gotten a more permanent home. After a couple of hours, the sitter came into the living room joined us announcing her departure and asked my buddy if he wouldnt mind giving her a ride. He flatly expressed to her that their agreement in watching his kids was what it was and she agreed to this, being that he would not be a taxi, or a chauffeur just a live in sitter that cleans up after the kids and herself, along with feeding them. She left seeming to be just a bit angry from what I felt. As she shut the door behind her, my new acquaintance and buddy began laughing while talking loudly at what had just happened, causing me to not understand at all. "What was this was all about?," I was thinking to myself. So I stood up and spoke over their loudness to tell them that I shall return soon, after giving her a ride. My friend simply giggled out, "your funeral".
I just shrugged it off, thinking that it couldnt be all that bad or too far to where she needed a ride to, as I made my way to the door.

I pulled up to her when she was almost to the shell gas station, which was almost a mile away. It only took her a very short time to walk almost half of that distance, which told me that she was in a big hurry. She ignored me, so I drove just past her, pulled over, got out and told her that i wanted to give her a ride. She told me that she wasn't interested because i had been drinking and she continued to walk past me quickly. I got back in the car drove a little further ahead of her than the last time, pulled over again just past her, shut off the car, got out and offered her the keys so she could be the driver. She took the offer and off we went.

Now, when I said that it couldnt possibly be all that farto take her, I was right. But usually that refers to not being all that long as well.
This person went about five miles and then pulled over, made a call on her phone, waited five or so minutes, left and then went another two or three miles, stopped, and made a call, and then we left. I was getting a bit curious about then, so asked her what she was doing. Her response was that she was supposed to meet her boys back at the last stop, but that didnt happen, but didnt give me a reason, and now the meeting was to happen just up the road a couple more miles.

So after waiting about ten minutes, she called and was...
