"Out of the Chaos"

Think you can guess what Mom has done to get directions like these from her daughter?
The beginning of Chapter 29
At
a little before eleven, Julie and I looked at each other, and smiled. We had both heard the noise that the old
style spring closer on the door made. I
waited until I heard it close, and then hit the button on the remote to
electronically lock the door.
I
knew who ever had entered the porch had heard the lock slide home, as I head a female
voice say fuck, and then heard the door rattle.
Julie then began her part in our plan to capture her mother. “Danielle, this is Julie, if you want to talk
to me face to face, put any weapons you might have on you on the table, drop
your pants to your ankles, and lay on the floor with your arms spread out to
either side.”
We
both smiled, as we heard Danielle say, “I am not dropping my jeans for anybody,
now unlock the fucking door so that I can leave.”
I
didn’t even bother to peek out the blinds, instead I simply said, “Danielle,
this is Senior Homicide Detective Charlotte Nelson, I am sitting here with your
daughter Julie. For your information, I
am also her legal guardian, until such time as your ex-husband is able to
resume his duties as her father. Now if
you would like to speak with Julie, you will do exactly as Julie
instructed. You have exactly 10 seconds
to make your decision, before I alert the officer parked in the driveway, and
turn on the lights on the porch, taking any cover you might have away from
you.”
She
didn’t waste any time with voicing her displeasure, which ended with a laugh,
like the joke was on us. At the same
time that I heard her say okay, I heard a heavy object, which I assumed was a
hand gun being dropped on the table. She
then said that her jeans are at her feet, and that she is laying down now.
I
peeked out the blind, and saw that she had actually complied as directed. I handed my Mag-lite to Julie and opened the
door to the porch, and with Julie shinning the light so that it was directly in
her ex-mothers face effectively blinding her, I slipped around behind her and
put a pair of plastic zip cuffs on her wrists and pulled them tight.
