Have some fun with the woman

John decided that he might as well have some more fun with sitting next to him, but somewhere private. The first step would be to get her out of here. To do that, John realized he would have to be careful on how he does it. He did not know how his new power would work on a crowd, so he had to make sure that he does not cause the woman to make a scene or act odd. Also, this woman could be waiting for someone, and if she were to disappear, that might cause a problem. Sure, he made all those changes to her body, but he did not know if the changes he made would always go unnoticed.

John began by sending some commands into her mind. "You will answer any questions the guy next to you has and will not find odd or creepy." John waited a moment to make sure the command sunk in before turning to talk to her.

"Excuse me, do you have the time?" John asked her. Better keep it simple. It was also a question that is kind of odd now and days, what with everyone having cell phones, you probably don't need to ask what the time is. The woman quickly pulled her phone out of her purse and looked at it.

"It's 2:30," she answered quickly.

John took this as a sign that his command had taken hold, so he continued onto the more important questions. "Could you tell me your name?" he asked.

"Yes," the woman replied and just stopped there. John was a little annoyed by this, but he quickly realized that she took his question literally. This could be something that might happen with some people. He would have to be careful what has commands people.

John tried again. "What is your name?".

"Andrea" she answered.

"What are your plans for today?" John asked.

"I was planning on doing some shopping and then in the evening I am going to be meeting with a friend to discuss her wedding." Andrea answered.

"What time will you be meeting your friend at?"

"At 7:00"

"Is someone expecting to see you before then?"

"No"

That would give him a few hours to have some fun with Andrea. And no one should notice she is gone. John considered where he should take Andrea. He could take her home... Then John remembered he was with his family and girlfriend here at the mall. He would have to do something about them before he goes off with Andrea. Otherwise, they could cause problems. John could try use his powers to send commands to his family so they do not worry about him. Of course, he could try calling them and telling them to not wait up, but that would not be as fun. Besides, he has to test the range of his powers some time.

Trying to focus his thoughts on his family and girlfriend, he sent them a mental command that they think he told them he would be getting a ride home from a friend. After he was sure the command was sent, he went back to thinking where he and Andrea should go.
