OK, in that case, it seems to me that what they asked you to do was
not unusual in itself, but if they "abruptly" ended the interview, it
doesn't sound good at all. That you're not "comfortable" with going
into more detail makes me thing something was wrong. Surely you see
the connection between the two events? If they acted like they weren't
really interested, then it's not paranoia to think they might have
been just getting you out of their office.
