Jim decided to go see his friend. Yes, it was of the utmost importance that he fix his mom before she did something she regretted, but he also wanted someone to help him out. And who better to help him than his best friend Rick? He may even have some advice for Jim that he would never have thought of otherwise.
"Sure, I'll be right over," Jim finally told his friend.
"Great, dude. See ya in a few minutes," Rick said, before hanging up.
Then Jim turned down a different street and headed to Rick's house.
