If it was a real emergency they should call 911, otherwise it can wait until your hunt is over. You are a good friend for helping out. Make sure you find out exactly what is going on to warrant a 200 mile trip back. Be polite, but stick your nose in where it doesn't belong. Offer advice for all parties involved. If they act like it is none of your business remind them that they made it your business since you are a personal chauffeur for your friend. I would make sure your friend has transportation for the return trip.
