Not knowing the code, I am going to guess this is military related and she stressed out not knowing where you were? Moms are Moms, thank you for your service but my mom freaked out over me and I didn't serve. I won't pretend the stress is the same, but Moms are Moms.
I am not kidding. If I didn't call twice or 3 times a day and missed my window, she got to the point a few times of wanting to call the police for a welfare check.
I don't care even if it isn't war, Moms worry, there is no way to stop it.
I look at it this way even with this restaurant. I think ethical police and firemen and military would prefer it be a false alarm then an actual emergency. I can say just worrying about my Mom, I was always glad that when I did freak out, I'd call her and would turn out everything was fine.
I wont pretend to understand the stress of combat, or the worry of a parent of a soldier, but a parent is a parent and a child will worry as much as the parent when they are that close regardless.
These were not family of course, but still. I am glad it was me and not anything serious.
