"Everyone, you'll need to go through interviews, and once you clear them, you can finally leave," one of the officers explained.
I breathed a sigh of relief, knowing the ordeal was almost over. I'd already talked to my mob who gave me the inside scoop on the interview questions and how to answer them, making it seem like I'd truly been affected by that low-budget version of my Suggestion power.
They called us in for interviews one by one, and I use a bit of my power to convince them not to check my identity on their computer. Finally, they let us all go, and they even offered to give us a ride home. But I use my suggestion to convince them and slip away to find a hotel to stay in.
By the time I got to the hotel, it was already 1:00 am, and I crashed into bed without a second thought. I was utterly exhausted and just needed some sleep. I knew I'd learned a lot today, but I decided to save deeper thinking for after a good rest.
