[Scary Distressing incident, please advise!]

Hey everyone. So, I had an appointment early this morning at like 5:30 in the morning, that went pretty terribly wrong and took a dangerous turn. I want to know what my next move should be because I don't feel like I should do nothing or say nothing but I know my options are limited...as follows:

 

I took an appointment from a client this morning even though he lacked the usual information I required to screen through I took alternative information and decided to see him, despite having a feeling that something was up. I'm mad at myself a bit because I rarely ignore my intuition but I did this one time and look what the hell happened...

So I show up at the house which is in one of those cookie cutter neighborhoods in Littleton, expensive enough house and so the part of town wasn't sketchy or anything. I didn't know who what the guy looked like or how old he was and when I showed up I was surprised to see that he was a pretty young guy with sort of a gangsta vibe. For the moment I'm going to intentionally leave the race/ethnicity out so don't ask. Had kind of a cocky air to him and I immediately just didn't like him very much, but I went in anyway because everything else looked okay. House was nice it was in order he had a homie asleep on the couch but whatever I don't really care about that very much so we go upstairs, do they session, and he had hit my venmo with my payment up front but mistakenly I did not check it cuz I haven't had anything happen in a long time and was honestly just not thinking that would happen. But we do the session and he finished a little sooner than I guess he wanted to, but whatever I was ready to go then as I am getting ready to go I noticed the shortage, and it's by nearly all of it. He starts walking me down and out to the door and I go back in the room and tell him like no you need to pay me right now don't tell me you're a man of your word and then don't pay me and think I'm just going to walk out of here and not say anything about it. He comes back in there and tells me to quit tripping and I told him quit trying to rip me off especially when I got my butt out there almost immediately after he called. All over the house he then tells me he's going to send me a third of my rate, citing that I didn't have to do any work as he put it, because he didn't last long. I explained to him that I am not subject to being docked because of that. I offered to do a half hour great which I don't normally do on an outcall but I figured it was better than getting nothing so he's walking me down and he still telling me he's going to send me a third of my rate and I went back into this room and said kind of loudly that he can't just do that and that he better effing pay me NOW.

AT THIS POINT HE OPENED THE BEDROOM DOOR BACK UP, THEN OPENED A DRAWER ON HIS DESK REVEALING A LARGE AUTOMATIC WEAPON LIKE A MACHINE GUN OF SOME SORT. AND HE JUST LOOKED AT ME ALL SERIOUS AND SAID IN A REALLY LOW VOICE "DO YOU REALLY WANT TO GOING BACK AND FORTH OVER A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY IS IT WORTH IT TO YOU? OR DO YOU THINK MAYBE IT'S A GOOD IDEA FOR YOU TO GO NOW?" SO I SAID "OHHH, SO ITS  LIKE THAT." AND HE at this point just said get your ass down the stairs and take the $100 because I'm sick of f****** hearing you talk and you weren't even worth the money anyway because you're ugly as f***. I went ahead and took that as my cue to leave, obviously.

 

....And obviously I was pretty pissed about it and pretty upset and felt pretty victimized and he knew that he was doing this with someone who in his mind has a little recourse basically someone who has no one that can go to for help and maybe he's right. 

 

But I don't feel like I should just leave it alone. I know we have safe reporting laws but I don't really feel comfortable taking advantage of that because I highly doubt that there would be no trouble for me whatsoever. Just because it says that we have immunity doesn't mean that they're not going to find something else to get me for or just completely not believe me or refuse to deal with it all together. I don't want to talk to the police about it, but the fact that a gun was involved and that he clearly lives at the house and doesn't really give a damn that I know where he lives and his full name and all that makes me feel like I should say something to somebody or do something about it and not just keep my mouth shut. 

Before you respond please understand that I know where I made mistakes I know what not to do in the future now and I know to listen to my damned intuition at all times for the millionth time. So no victim blaming. I don't want to hear it at all. What I'm looking for here specifically is advice on when how if I should proceed with following up on this, with the understanding that I'm not interested in recovering my money at this point I'm interested in preventing future violence and the guy lives in a residential area with kids and stuff. I absolutely think he will do it again even though I wrote a blacklist on him. What the hell do I do now?

 

 

 

 

I think we have all had a situation or two like this in our pasts. I think I might have been to that exact place and had a similar experience.  Keep your head up and screen screen screen!

[Avoiding attention at a hotel]

This might be an odd question for seasoned hobbyists and practitioners. How do you avoid attracting attention at a hotel.

 

If the provider is hosting, do you avoid multiple visitors? Do clients come straight to your room? Does the hotel care? Does it depend on the hotel? Am I asking trade secrets?

 

For clients hosting a provider, does she come straight to the room? How conservatively is she attired? Other things to do/avoid?

 

Thanks

Don’t stop at the front and ask where a specific room is, don’t look lost or clueless as for directions before you go in.
