Last night 2 of my friends asked me to go drinking of all places Bourbon Street. Yeah you heard right, it was going to be a French Quarter night. New Orleans is just getting somewhat back on its feet and has a 2am curfew. Taking that in mind, I decided not to go.
Awakened at 2:30am,I received a phone call from one of them asking if I could come pick them up. I asked them how tore up they were and was it because they were too impaired to drive. He said that they werent allowed to drive. At thie moment I was a bit confused and still half asleep. They told me that I can either pick them up or they were going to jail. A state trooper had pulled them over after curfew had expired and they were drunk off their asses. I was hesitant to respond on if I was gonna go, because I didnt have a clue where they were at that point and I would be driving after curfew. Curfew alone was enough bait for them to put me in jail if I was caught wondering around the city looking for them. I said that I couldnt do it and they were going to give someone else a try to see if they could come. After I hung up, I felt really bad that I let them down. So I called them right back and to my surprise they told me that the state trooper had let them go. They needed to sleep it off in the car until they were able to drive. I was very relieved but still felt bad that I let them down.
EDIT: These 2 friends are coworkers that I occasionally hang out with.
Under the same circumstances, what would you have done?

No cliffs, good Saturday read.
