Searching Buddha

We are in a large house with a number of family members. We is pretty unspecified - they seem to be family, but no one that I recognize. Upstairs are some members of the family with a frightening medical problem and I am the only one willing to deal with them. They keep venturing downstairs and terrifying the other family members and I keep having to calm everyone down.

I leave the house with two people, who have suddenly become friends instead of family. We're driving to go somewhere and we come to a parking lot. The driver, my friend, goes to turn into a pay lot and I question her on it, since there's a free lot directly behind us that just requires a little more walking. She goes for that instead.

We get out of the car and are walking down the street and we've lost her, even though the friend and I that are walking together are limping slowly down the street. A bus load of people are behind us and we think that maybe she's behind it, so we stop and wait. She does finally come out, but she's walking with a cane. Then the alarm goes off!
