    I am leaving here in 10 minutes so just need to know
    a few things.

    Is it kidnapping in this case?
    Will I be arrested?
    What do I do if she calls in an amber alert?
    I am desperate.

    But let me take some time and check with reddit. . .
    Whatever happened, I think it's safe to say
