"I need your help," Rudy said to Maria in a calm voice.
"Yes?"
Rudy got closer to Maria and whispered, "I don't have my ID with me, and as you know, we can't checkout without ID. So do you think you can do something and help me out?"
"Umm… even though I use my name or my family name, we still have to follow the casino rules…" Maria said with an awkward smile on her face.
"Oh…" Rudy sighed with a dejected look on his face.
'I guess I will have to use mind control, after all,' Rudy uttered inwardly.
Maria raised her brow with a judging look on her face and asked, "Can I ask how you entered the casino without an ID? Surely, they had checked your ID when you entered, right? So why don't you have your ID with you right now?"
'Things got more messy than they should have. But I guess this was bound to happen eventually when I had talked this out with the man at the counter.'
'I know this sounds like a lame and dumb excuse, but it should work.'
