Isaac, Taylor and Zac were having a wander outside of the shopping centre while the roadies set up the equipment. There were a few people here and there but no one was paying any attention to them.
Well, with one exception:
"Say, Taylor? Isn't that the guy who helped you out in the bathroom in that mall in LA?" Isaac asked.
Taylor looked.
"Oh my gosh, it is! What's he doing here?" Taylor looked worried.
"Isn't he supposed to be the guy we have to keep away from 'cause he enhances our powers?" Zac questioned.
"Yes." Isaac and Taylor said together.
"Hello." The guy said presently, catching up with them.
"Hi." Isaac said.
*That's odd.* Taylor said.
*What's odd?*
*There's no pounding on my telepathic shield.*
*Isn't that a good thing?*
*Well, yeah…*
*Then don't complain.*
"I'm Blake." The guy said. "You're the Hanson guys huh?"
"Yeah, I'm Zac, this is Isaac and Taylor."
"We've met haven't we? In LA?" Blake asked Taylor.
"Uhh, yeah." Taylor answered uncomfortably. "I'd rather not talk about it."
"What were you doing in LA?" Zac asked.
"My brother and our parents were visiting some rels. But we live here, in Boston. My dad is the manager for this mall."
"Oh, ok."
Blake paused and looked around.
"Speaking of my brother, he should be around here somewhere. I'd better go find him - he's blind."
Blake walked off. The brothers looked at each other.
"I still think it was strange that there was no pounding on my shield." Taylor muttered.
