That done Bob was just about bring me out (or so I was told later on) when Steven decides to join in on the fun. "Hey Bob is there a way that we could him back under later on if we wanted to" he asks pointing to me. "There is always a way but why would you want to" Bob asks in reply. "Well Peter here is a bit of a practical joker like myself and think it could be fun to play on or more on him to get my own back on him" reply's Steven looking around at the others in the room. Jane, Amy and Joe were busy talking to Bob's assistant and not really paying any attention to what Susan, Steven and Bob were doing.
"Look I don't mind a practical joke now and then myself but this could be dangerous if it's not done right" Bob said looking at the two of them. "If you were to help us with this is there some sort of safety control you can put in place so that things don't go to far" asked Susan looking right at Steven with a look that told him that she knew his reputation well. "The human brain is good at doing that on its own" Bob replied "But what if I set it up so that one of you can put him under and the other can bring him out if they think that things are getting out of hand" Bob continued. "Sounds good to me what do you think Susan" asked Steven.
"Fine by me" was her reply. "But who does what". "If I understand your relationships with peter then may I suggest that Steven can be the one with the trigger word to put him back under and Susan you can bring him back out"? "As an extra safety measure all suggestions that Peter is given will wear off in one months time from tonight" Said Bob. "Its that or nothing" he added "Go for it" the two conspirators said.
A half an hour later I was brought out from under my trance. "I told you I could not be put under" I said "So you did" said Bob, "but just to make sure can you count your fingers for me" he went on to say. "Okay I don't know why you want me to do that" I replied as I began to count. "1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9,10,11" what was all I could say. I counted again and once more came up with 11. I Turned to see Bob and the others smiling at me. ""What did you do to me?" I asked Bob. "Nothing really I just made you forget the number 5" he said in reply. "Can you fix please I give in you hypnotised me" I said with a frown on my face. "Easily just take a minute" he said. Once he was done I counted my fingers again and only found ten this time.
"It been fun guys and next time I am in town why don't we catch up but I need to go to my bed now after all it is 3 in the morning" said Bob. "I have a long journey ahead of me in the morning" he continued. With that we said our goodbyes and turned to head home ourselves each taking one of Bob's cards as we left. I shared a taxi home with Susan who was find it hard to stop laughing at something which she refused to share with me. Even the driver was laughing. Susan stayed at mine that night I took the couch and she had the bed we decided to be friends for the moment and see where that would take us this time before restarting as boyfriend and girlfriend.
And with that we went sleep.
