When we finally stop in a small town, Holtzmann asks, “So, what’s our plan?”

“There’s no our plan,” I answer. “My plan is to ditch this car, because Elimination must be looking for it already. Then I need to get a change of clothes. I need the ability to blend in without being identified as an escaping prisoner. While I’m doing this, you’re to start walking toward the nearest police station and tell them who you are.”

“I won’t do that,” Holtzmann protests. “I want to make sure this doesn’t end badly.”

“What are you talking about?”

“When Elimination finds you, and it’s just a matter of time before they do, they will simply shoot you. No talking this time. You’ve made everybody too angry. And that’s why you need me. As long as I’m your hostage, you have a card to play.”

Having said this, Holtzmann sits tighter in his seat and crosses his arms on his chest, showing he’s not planning on going anywhere.

“Fine!” I say. “I’ll keep you as my hostage for a while longer. But I still don’t understand why you would request this.”

“For the sake of science and because I owe you,” he answers.

“Okay then. Let’s leave the car here. We need to find another one. Let’s head over to the store and grab some new clothes.”

We walk toward the small clothing store through an empty parking lot. I’m lucky that not many people go shopping this time of day. If somebody sees me wearing my orange prison garb, they’ll definitely contact the police. I look around carefully. Thank God, I’ve got my breaker’s abilities back. Today I’ll need to hypnotize lots of folks.

Holtzmann follows a couple of steps behind, smiling like a complete idiot. What is he thinking? Does it seem to him this is nothing more than a grand adventure? I’ve no clue what’s going on in his head.

As I enter the store, I take a quick look around, seeing a few customers and a cashier. I immediately project my thoughts, forcing them to follow my will. For a split second I worry that somebody might be resistant, but everything goes perfectly smoothly. Nobody even notices my presence. People continue choosing and buying clothes, even being under deep hypnosis.

“Very impressive, Rex,” Holtzmann says with excitement. He approaches a customer and waves a hand in front of his face. No reaction.

“Don’t mess with them,” I say. “I can’t hold them forever.”

Wincing from the headache, I quickly grab dark jeans and a hoodie. I take a look at Holtzmann’s clothes. He’s wearing slacks with a brightly colored shirt and a checkered tie that doesn’t match anything. Not wishing him to draw attention, I take an extra pair of jeans and a black sweatshirt. Then we leave.

In the parking lot, I notice a young guy getting out of a pickup truck. I project my thoughts before he spots us. The guy stands still, staring at me blindly. His facial muscles relax. Definitely not resistant, I think with relief.

“Give me your keys,” I command.
