Lock Down (3)

On the 27th floor of the Tempest is a level devoted to the eight government psychics. Half the floor is taken up by a large machine that only the psychics can use, the other half is a lab. It is an hour before midday as Maddy Chambers wanders through the lab. One of the eight psychics is researching at a table and sees him, he approaches Maddy.
“What are you doing in here little one?” the man asks. Although he can read the boys mind he does not. All government psychics are not allowed to probe other people’s minds without consent. “Are you lost?”
The entrance to the lab opens as Eve walks in. Maddy and the Psychic turn to her.
“There you are Maddy,” she says walking up to the boy and takes his hand. “I do apologise, he just wandered off.”
“Not a problem,” the Psychic says smiling at her. Eve returns the smile and skips out of the room with her son. As the door slides shut, Maddy pears back into the lab staring at the psychic. His eyes are focused on him. Eve leans down and whispers in his ear as the door shuts and the two are no longer in the psychic’s sight.
