Chapter 16

Suddenly Taylor stalked over and smashed Doran across the face.

"Taylor! Don't touch him!" Trinity yelped. "If he touches you he can steal your DNA and impersonate you! What's more, that's how he hurts people."

"Yes, I know." Taylor replied. "But he can't hurt me."

The dark look on Taylor's face was freaking Zac out.

"Are you so certain about that?" Doran asked with a sneer.

"You -" and here Taylor pointed an accusing finger, "can only shield your mind on the normal telepathic level, even though you have Deep Telepathy. But that's how your gene had mutated isn't it Doran?"

Taylor punched him across the face again.

"Y'know, a few days ago I was worried sick about one brother who had been abducted by The Goblin, and when I finally have him back, you go and try and murder another one. Who's next? Mackie? Me? Or maybe one of my sisters."

Doran was quickly loosing the haughty expression on his face.

"I swear, I didn't kill him. Gretel wants him alive - for now."

"Where. Is. My. Brother."

Doran pressed his lips together.

"Fine. Don't tell me." Taylor fumed. "But you're not the only one with Deep Telepathy. And guess what Doran? I don't even need to touch you."

On that, Taylor sent one of his probes into Doran's mind. His frustration made him not even care at how rough he was with the probe. Not that he was actually able to be rough unintentionally. It didn't take him long to find the memory of what he had done to Isaac, as it was so recent. And the memory made him fume. Taking his probe out, he purposely brushed it against sensitive areas to actually hurt the mutant.

"Ahh!" Doran cried, wracked with pain.

"How do you like it!" Taylor yelled. "That's what your deformed probes do to people! That's what you do!"

Zac was slowly approaching pants-wetting. Walker was also much alarmed about this unusual display from his son.

"Taylor?" Walker asked quietly.

Taylor suddenly burst into tears.

"That's what he did to Ike Dad!" he cried, wrapping his arms around Walker. "That's what Ike felt just before he was knocked unconscious."

"Do you know where Ike is Taylor?" Rocky asked.

"Goldaline Avenue, near the alley." He sniffed.

Rocky nodded.

"Doran you will tell your boss that she's messing with the wrong people and to give up now before she has an embarrassing defeat." He informed him.

"The only person who will be defeated are you." Doran replied.

"Taylor, Doran can knock people unconscious. Can you?" Rocky asked.

Taylor pulled away from his father and nodded.

"Do it."

Taylor sent in another probe into Doran's mind and knocked him unconscious. Upon pulling the probe out, Rocky told Oscar to go dump Doran some where and to pick up Isaac. So Oscar picked up Doran and flew into the night.
