Suddenly the dog stopped barking and lay down next to the table leg, as Whitney directed his focus from the dog onto Jeff. Looking directly into the man’s eyes, Whitney calmly suggested “Before you go, ‘Jeffrey’, would you be so kind as to take your friend, ‘Zippy’, with you”. Whitney’s intention of course was to try and control the man like a puppet or at least manipulate him into starting an argument with his companion or even a fight as he was sure that his friend would not want to leave without causing the woman serious harm. If his plan went well he could slip in and help the women to escape. He waited to see if his ‘magic’ would take affect.
