Max stepped out of the police station with the government official at his side and waved to the assembled crowd of news reporters and curious onlookers, who were all eager to find out what had happened that led to the foreign dignitary being arrested.
Max raised his voice to be heard above the crowd. "Thank you all for waiting, and know that I appreciate your support. This entire situation was one large misunderstanding, and I can assure you that there were no fatalities involved in my outing today.
