The officer shrugs. "Most people, especially when they know what it means, tend to be a little wary when they have a gun pointed at them. That, and if you walk out of this room before me, the snipers will shoot to disable. And, as you pointed out, we do have magic. I could have someone track you down, and capture you while you were sleeping. The point of the matter is, we're vulnerable, right now, and quite frankly, your counterpart scares me, and he's on my side. So tell me what that says about you?"
