The telepath isn't interested in tampering with Jackson's memories so much as suggesting he draw his weapon ... and point it at Jono's head. Unfortunately for Jackson, he's quite susceptible to these sorts of suggestions, all federal soldiers are, and he doesn't even realize what he's doing until it's done. Round chambered, safety off, finger on the trigger, with the business end of his handgun pointed at the side of Jono's head. He looks surprised, then pained. Try as he'd like, Jackson can't will himself to move his arm, drop the weapon, or even make a hair's width change to his aim.
The officer looks amused. "The part where I offer to let you walk away," he answers smugly.
