“He’s mine,” Jack said in a commanding tone.

Melissa came to stand next to Jack, unsure what was going on. She had seen him like this once before, but only now was she finding out that this was abnormal behavior. She hadn’t been a Psych long enough to know everything about them.

Paro looked at him with ponderous eyes. “What do you mean, ‘he’s yours,’ Jack? What’s going on? Are you feeling okay?”

Melissa felt the first bite of fear. Jack didn’t seem to be himself at all. In fact, he seemed to be nothing even remotely like his normal self. He was detached, cool, and he didn’t seem to be listening to any of them.

“Paro, step away,” he commanded.

“Harris, don’t presume to—”

Paro was cut off as a force slammed into him, and Melissa saw him brace himself. The force caused him to step back and drop Andy to the floor. His eyes lit up in shock, and he looked at Jack.

“Did you just try to throw me?” Paro asked.

Melissa had no idea what was going on, but she had the overwhelming sense that whatever it was, it wasn’t good.

“Jack, get back here. Hey, what are you doing? Put him down!”

Now it was Jack that held Andy by the throat, only he didn’t use his hands. The boy was telekinetically pinned, and he looked at Jack with pleading, desperate eyes.

“You think you know death, do you Andy?” Jack’s voice was conversational, lacking any discernible emotion. “Well, how about I show you what death really looks like?”

There was a shriek from behind them. Sarah’s voice called out with a dire sense of urgency. “I’m detecting Psych movement, massive amounts. At least ten! All with hostile intent.”

Paro turned away from Jack, but Melissa didn’t budge. Upon hearing Sarah’s warning, the nineteen living recon officers raised their weapons and stood at full alert, their guns clicking as they turned off their safeties.

“Sarah, are you kidding me? Are you certain there are ten Psychs heading our way? And all of them with hostile intent? I’ve never been very good with Telepathy. I need to know exactly what you’re feeling.”

Melissa turned her head around while still remaining near Jack and Andy. Sarah was shivering with her head downcast and off to one side—it was her gesture of gathering data.

“No, I was wrong. It’s about fifteen now, and they’re all Telepaths, like me.”

Kazou and Michael had a grim look of death in their eyes, one that was beginning to form in Melissa’s as well. Fifteen Telepaths working together could kill them all. But none of this made any sense.

“You must be mistaken,” Paro said. “Where would fifteen Telepaths come from, and why would they be hostile? Please, Sarah, you must double check and make sure.”

“I am, Paro. And it’s at least fifteen! Maybe even more. I don’t know where this army of Psychs has come from, but they’re heading right for us. Paro … are we going to die?” She began to weep.

One of the recon officers ripped off his helmet and threw it to the ground.
