I am so sorry that this has happened. It's a very risky business that we're in and am sad that the safe place of parlours have been shut down. I hated having to go independent when many were closed in Vancouver. Best I can do is share preventative advice. I sort of set up a protocol for myself now which I make sure to follow and actually helps with professionalism. When I have a booking I always have timely check-ins with either my driver and if taking a cab with a trusted friend.
1) On arrival - you feel okay about continuing. And transaction is good. I make sure it's within 5 mins from when I step in through the door.
2) Most mportantly I call or text in front of the client and tell them so they are aware I have security in place. It eliminates the majority of any planned craziness.
3) During - I pick a time to send a simple text or call again that I'm okay and whether the session will extend. If security doesn't hear within 3 mins of said time they call me. Sometimes you're in the middle of things, but again the made client is aware of the check in calls, they won't be bothered by your phone ringing. Also it reminds them that you have someone that will f*ck them up if they still want to hurt you.
It's creates such a good safety net because our lives and well being are not worth any amount of money.
