"Here you go boss. He's agreed to take us on the cheap." Toque said to Vince.
Vince turned to Marie. "Are you coming as well?"
Marie shrugged. "I suppose."
Vince turned to the driver. "She's coming with us."
"That'll be extra."
Vince handed him a set amount. The driver quietly accepted it gratefully. All three got on board and they were off at a brisk pace.
Marie was curious. "Say, what was in the letter that your uncle sent you?"
"He needs something. A different kind of labor..."
By the look on his face she could tell it may be just that kind of work.

Bad news I'm afraid.
Myspace.com, the original location of "Infinite Discovery" has been taken down. I'm afraid I'll have to rewrite it all from scratch...
Nuts. Thank you for watching though, I promise I'll try to make it worth your while :).

"Happy eighteenth birthday Chris." "Happy birthday myboy."
Eighteen years old. Manhood. It had come early, earlier than he had expected. Much of his youth was now behind him. He was too old to expect presents at this late date. His real present came this year however. His sister was back to her old self.
"Happy birthday brother." To his surprise she handed him a present. Family looked to one another, knowing how close they had become in the years past. "Well, open it." She insisted.
For the first time in years he had something to genuinely smile about. He turned his attention back to his present.

"Well who in the world could that be?" Their mother asked.
Chris wouldn't ever forget that night, even as things went to hell.
"Oh my word!" Their mother exclaimed Molly and Chris had made eye contact briefly. Wordlessly Molly slowly made her way to the back door
"No need to worry. We're here to question - STOP!" Molly made a break for it. Their father charged them. "You aren't taking her!" Chris watched as his world ripped apart. His father was the first, his uncle second with twin blasts. Another of the armed men restricted him. As he watched he managed to glimpse her in their yard running full on before he was knocked out.
Don't worry sis, I'll come for you. I promise.

Vince stepped outside and confronted the small crowd silently. "We know Vince is in there."
They said. "We want him. He owes us." "How much?" Vince said. This jolted the crowd and for a moment they were silent.
Toque waited nervously. Marie rolled her eyes at him. "What kind of man are you?"
"A smart one." He replied. "Investors do not like their money being taken from them. I think I'll escape out the back."
Before he ever could Vince came back through the door. Toque looked out the window to the departing crowd. "I owe you a great deal young one. Want can I do for you?"
Vince glanced his way. He then said calmly "Let's go."
Marie was shocked. "You'd pay his debts for him?" Vince would only look at her. He carried on. Marie was impressed. He was no brigand. Better to be in debt with a righteous man I suppose. Toque thought to himself.

Six years ago
She had been having horrible nightmares.
Chris knew of the extent psychics had their own battles within. He was there for his sister every step of the way. She grew more socially inept as time progressed. Her mood, her attitude screamed one of vindictiveness, one of maliciousness. Her hate was becoming palpable.
"Molly?" Her friends asked her one day.
"Oh she suffers from tourets syndrome."
"Oh..."
Her brother steered her around the corner and they were alone again.
"Sis, you have to calm down."
"Ugh... what?"
Her face, which had been a murderous mix of bug-eyes and stone cold placidness, snapped back to regular her. She blinked a few times then looked to him.
"I did it again didn't I?..."
She had returned to her once natural self. For the moment. Chris knew this sort of thing happened in a psychics adolescence and that she would grow out of it.
"Hey, head to class ok? We'll talk later."
"Yeah, right. Thanks big brother."
Her good humor would not last.

Toque was beside himself. "That's all you got for your home? Pish tish. I could have gotten you far more."
"It'll do nicely for what I plan to use it for. After all, it's not a home in Costa Del Sol or anything."
Marie wasn't sure of any of this but something about him, there was something...
She rose from his former table "I'm going with you."
He stopped and stared a moment. "That is, if you'll have me."
"Certainly, if your willing to come. Toque?"
"But of course me lad... I'm not very well liked here."
Marie snorted, "You can say that again."
"Toque Wilson, we know your there. Come out now!"

Does she like me? Chris had been hoping against hope that his sis could hear her. He repeated it again in his mind.
Who? She sent back.
Clarissa
Oh come on, you don't expect me to rat out a friend do you?
She won't know! Just let me...
NO!"ugh!"
Mr. Hempridge stopped what he was doing to look at Chris. "Is there something you want to add to the discussion Chris?"
"Uh, no sir, just a bad headache."
"Very well. Two X minus..."
That hurt sis.
Sorry... I just...
Hey, it'll be ok. Try not to read to many people's thoughts, it's not polite.She grinned. He was only a class over but he could have just as easily been on the other side of the school. Her powers had grown.
Their teacher droned on and on and Molly was beginning to wish it would all end. From the corner of her eye she caught it just as it happened.
A kid flicked a tack hard. It bounced off the clock and stabbed a young girl in the face across from him. He laughed out loud. He soon wasn't laughing as he was lifted bodily in the air by some invisible force. He hit the wall hard and landed unconscious.
The room froze. The teacher was staring wide eyed at the young girl. She looked around frantically and then looked at her desk. After a moment to compose herself the teacher sent her down to the office. The teacher's aide took over as she accompanied her young student.
Brother!
What is it, what's wrong?She related what had happened
Don't worry. They won't find you out. And who knows what will happen to her? We may see her tomorrow.
Molly and Chris never saw her again.
