To backtrack a little, when my brother left me a message earlier he not only told me he was released but also asked me to call my mom and cousin and make sure they were coming to pick him up. So after I had tried them both with no answer, I tried the hospital and the guy who answered said my brother had already left. So I hung up thinking they had gone and got him.
Then a few hours ago I noticed that my phone had run down completely, so I plugged it in and it didn't show that I had gotten any calls. Then a little while ago I got a call from an unfamiliar number and when I listened to the message I realized there was a previous message from my brother begging me to come pick him up because my mom and our cousin weren't answering their phones. The next message (the unfamiliar number) was him saying he finally got a ride from a friend of a friend and was on his way home. So I called back that number and got him, and it turns out when I called him earlier, the guy said, "he's already gone home", then said, "no wait, here he is", but by then I had said "okay" and hung up.
So between now and then he's been calling our mom with no answer, and our cousin (who's been living with my brother rent free for months, and lived with my mom for months before that, AND he borrowed money from her when she's on freaking food stamps!!!) and he told him he didn't have enough gas and then turned off his phone. So the craziness ensues! But at least he's on his way home.
