What do you do?


You're at home frantically packing your bags. You can't believe that you overslept and now you're running late for the last flight to make your connection to get to the important business meeting and finally finalize the big merger.

When suddenly your distraught daughter comes in and tells you through a chorus of sobs that her wife has just broken up with her. Not only that but her wife ran off with another woman. Leaving only a passive aggressive dear John note and taking most of their good stuff.

It's a shock to you because you thought their marriage was going great, it seems so did she.

'Red left me for some Asian cow whore with huge disgusting tits. They met an anime convention, can you believe that? ANIME! She'd been cheating on me the entire time we were married. All these years I was just a joke to her. And I just...I.. I..she... I... how come I'm not good enough man?"

She crumples onto your couch in a heap and cries while shaking.

You've never seen her like this before. This is worse then when her mom died and the time meth dealer Bobson Dugnutt stabbed her combined.

Then before you could spell your name you get a call from your friend and co-worker who is slightly annoyed and amused.

"What are you doing still at home!? You need to get to the airport right now! Sanchez, Felicia and Mikey are already there! You're going to make us all look like chumps if you don't come and sign this shit before the deadline.

Look just 48 hours of flights, paperwork, dinners, shaking hands and kissing ass with some suits and its finally over. We'll make Scrouge McDuck look like Yuriah Heap.

Come on man if you screw this up you might ruin the entire merger right at the finish line. We've all worked too hard for too long on this for it to fucking fall apart here. Get to the airport 5 minutes ago! Get your ass to Mars man, I'm buying."


You stand there with your phone in your hand, look to the right and you see your broken daughter who really needs you more than ever. If you abandon her right now like everyone else has there could be consequences.

Then look to your left and see your bags and think of your career and future. If you don't go right now there could be consequences.

Damn it, I voted wrong. It didn't click that this is an adult daughter. In that case I'm still going to the meeting but with thousands of reassurances that I'll make it up to her when I get back.

Yes, still is technically

Not HER dealer. She's a cop. Well a detective but she was stabbed when she was a uniform cop.
