Cheapest last-minute travel from Boston to D.C.?

I'm having a family emergency and need to travel from Boston to D.C. ASAP. I'm searching the web for last-minute fares (train, bus, air) and the best I can do it a $108 fare on Amtrak if I leave in a few hours, but that's cutting it close. Anyone have a better idea? Thank you in advance.
Note: This would be a one-way trip as I am unsure of a return date.

1. Airfares are going to be probably 5 or 6 times more expensive. I'd go with Amtrak.

2. You might be able to get a better deal on greyhound bus lines, but greyhound bus generally doesn't have the friendliest staff, and the greyhound station in Boston is in a safe area, but the Greyhound Station in DC is not in a safe area, so you would want to have somebody pick you up if you did choose to take the bus.
