Inspector Luther,
I don't believe that we have ever spoken before. My name is Dr. Archer, and I am in need of some advice from a man of the law such as yourself. I have examined the forums in order to come up with your name, and you seem to be a reputable officer of the law. As I have said, I need your help. Here is my situation.
A friend of mine has begun to waste away. Over the last two weeks, she has lost a dramatic amount of weight and exhibits an interrupted and erratic sleep pattern. To say that I'm concerned about her well-being is an understatement. I have questioned her about her health, and she repeatedly rebuffs me.
I have come to the conclusion that the only proper course of action is to take her to the hospital for treatment. My question for you, Inspector Luther, is: would this be considered abduction? It will most certainly be against her will, and I'm sure that she will be displeased with what I'm going to do. But it's for her own good, and I have reason to believe that she will suffer long-lasting damage if she is not given medical treatment soon.
If this is an illegal act, then I only ask that you not impede me. After she is safely in the care of professionals, I would of course not evade any repercussions of my actions.
Any assessment of this situation or input that you may have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Regards,
Dr. Archer
