I'm meeting my crazy caller in a few hours.

I posted this thread the other day
https://gfy.com/fucking-around-and-business-discussion/933974-strangest-phone-call-night-advice.html

about a woman who called me in the middle of the night by accident. She was trying to reach someone else and called me by mistake. She was worried about what would happen because she stole some money from her job and told me she was thinking about killing herself. I talked to her for a minute, gave her my opinion on what she should do and she took the advice. The next day she called and said it all worked out and offered to take me to lunch or out for a drink as a thank you. I asked if people thought I should go or not. I got all kinds of advice and thank everyone who posted their thoughts.

She called me back a little bit ago and we talked again. After a brief conversation I told her I was going into the city today if she wanted to meet in a few hours. She agreed.

I asked her some questions just to see how she answered them so I could get a sense of her intentions.

I asked her who the guy she was trying to call was. She told me he was another bartender working where she works and she knows he is good friends with the owner so she wanted his help.

I told her I felt a little guilty having her buy me lunch when I know she is having money troubles. She told me that her boss is letting her pay the $400 she took back at $40 a month so she isn't broke.

I told her I was worried that this was all some kind of elaborate scam. She assured me it wasn't and she just wanted to say thanks. She also said if I wanted we didn't have to meet and she would leave me alone.

She answered quickly and without stammering for answers so she is either a well practiced liar and knew what to say in advance, or telling me the truth.

So, I'm meeting her at a deli in a few hours. The good part is I can park my car at this one store I'm going to, jump on the light rail train and take it the 15 or so blocks to where we are meeting. Then after I can take it back. If I think she or someone is following me I can get off the train in a lot of different places and it is right downtown in a very public place so I'm not worried about getting jumped or robbed or anything like that.

It should be interesting. I'll report back when I get home and tell you how it went.
