What Would Jesus Do?

What would he do indeed...

We're in the midst of a "situation" that I'm not sure how we deal with. There's a bit of background, so bear with me...

One of Eric's personal training clients just happens to be someone very , very high up in my company. In addition to her, he also trains her son at least once a week. Last night, it was the boy who was being trained and his mother (let's just call her The Big Boss) was running late to pick him up after his session was finished at 9 pm. At about 9:30 she comes to get the boy and of course, by this time, Eric is well underway with his final 9 pm client, so I hear The Big Boss, just yell down the stairs to Eric that she's sorry she's late and thanks for everything.

Fade to this morning...

While driving into work, Eric's cell phone rings and its Ms. 9pm and she's freaking out because she just went out to her driveway and her brand new Christmas Present Car has a large dent in the driver side. After leaving our house, where she had parked across the street at the end of our driveway, she went straight home and the dent was not there earlier in the day. And she tells Eric that she thinks it was probably the lady who came to pick up her son in a rush, who backed out the driveway recklessly, smashed into her door and then drove off. Admittedly, this is a plausible theory...but Ms 9pm wants answers OR the phone number of The Big Boss.

Frig.

How does one deal with this? We have zero proof of who it is, or that it happened at our house, but Ms. 9PM says it did, so we have no choice but to follow up. Eric's wanted me to talk to TBB, but after thinking about a bit, I think that would be a huge mistake. After all, I work for her...she has control of things like my JOB, my BONUS, and when raise time comes around, I don't want her thinking "Gee, Gen's done a darn fine job, except she did accuse me of a hit and run last year. THIS'll show her..." Eric grudgingly agrees that he will be the one to ask the question.

Still, my coworker and I took a walk down to the parking garage a little while ago to surreptitiously check for any damage or missing paint, only the car isn't there. (It's probably at the body shop, he says).

Man, this is awkward.

Update

It WAS her. Ms 9pm actually drove to our house today to replay the incident and determine how it would have happened. (She is definitely out for blood!) Anyway, Eric had no choice but to make the call. And we got a full confession. TBB says she got out of her car last night but couldn't see any damage so she left.

Still awkward.
