  “You’re not using your telekinesis, are you?” Paul adopted a forced casual air.

  “Of course not.” Dick smiled widely. “I don’t need to.”

  “Where’s Stephanie?” Brian asked as he suddenly realized his great uncle’s girlfriend was missing. The two of them were practically inseparable.

  “I wanted some alone time,” Dick said.

  Brian and his father exchanged knowing looks. Dick went through girlfriends like tissue paper. Once he started spending time by himself, things deteriorated rapidly. Obviously, the relationship was nearing its end. Brian didn’t realize how much time he’d spent playing darts until his sister sauntered into the room wearing the same pleasant smile she always did after a date with Derek.

  “How’s it going?” she said.

  “You want to join us?” Dick asked.

  “Sure,” Amy said.

  “I need to get back to my homework,” Brian said.

  “What? We haven’t finished this game yet.”

  “I’ve already played a bunch of games and it’s getting late.”

  “You only played three and it’s still pretty early,” Dick protested.

  “It’s after nine. Brian should probably be working on his psionic protection,” Paul threw him a pointed look.

  “That’s right. I probably won’t have time for any more homework tonight,” Brian said.

  He shouldn’t have wasted so much time goofing around. He closed his bedroom door, positioned himself comfortably in his office chair and set the timer for one hour. He noticed immediately that his shielding was substantially weaker which was a major disappointment. He’d expected it to last much longer with no measurable signs of weakening over the first evening. Brian realized he’d spent several moments brooding about his predicament. He forcefully brushed aside his thoughts and focused on the task at hand.
