She had gone into the shop in near hysterics and the people who ran the shop were just about to call the police when she spotted us looking for her.
We caught another bus and made our transfer – but we arrived home long after we were expected and were met by two frantic, worried moms.
My sister promptly burst into tears and told them what happened and how she was abandoned in the middle of a huge city and how terrified she had been.
The concern from the moms turned quickly to anger at Lisa and me for being so irresponsible.
Lisa’s mom also was furious at her for not calling to let them know what was going on.
