You've gotta check in....

Seiko had just returned to Tokyo after going to school and working in Denver.  But just before she left there she was involved in a auto accident and had some bruises.  She didn't want her Mom to see her like this, so I picked her up at the train station and took her to my friend's vacant apartment. 

One day I dropped by to check on her and it came out that she had some official papers from the accident.  I asked if I could see them.

To my surprise, I saw that Seiko had a summons to appear in court in Denver on a scheduled day. She sluffed it off with,  "Oh, I'm just not going."

I came home and told Mark who happened to be here.  He strongly asserted that she better be there at the appointed time or she would never be allowed into America again.  She went and appeared and got it all straigtened out, and it's a good thing because her travels since have taken her to both Åmerica and Europe.
