All was peaceful at home when I got back after cruising around the island on Sewee with Ben. We had dropped off Shelton at his place earlier. Hi hadn't turned up and knowing Ruth, he was probably grounded for a day or two.
I had a quick dinner with Whitney and saying that I was tired, and went to my room.
I thought about our new flares. Only my sense of smell had been activated, hearing for Shelton, sight for Hi...
I needed to tell them what I knew.
I grabbed my Mac, and sent a request for video call.
Waited.
And waited.
Finally Shelton joined, "Hey Brennan, what now?"
"I know the reason behind our limited powers. Or at least, what happened."
Shelton's hand rose towards his earlobes. "Holy smokes. What?"
Just then my screen divided into three with Ben in the third square.
"What did I miss?"
"Your gal pal here has a theory for our limited powers." Shelton squeaked.
"Really?" He looked at me trying to hide a smile at the mention of gal pal.
I smiled at him.
He smiled at me.
Shelton coughed.
Back to topic, Brennan.
"Yes, only our strong senses have been activated. Smell for me, hearing for Shelton, sight for Hi and strength for Ben. I didn't want to tell you in front of..."
I got the expected reactions.
Shelton was now pulling both earlobes and Ben was clearly bemused.
Nobody spoke for a minute.
The silence was interrupted by another square.
"Hey guys." Hi's face appeared. "What's the news?"
"I thought you would've been grounded for sure." I said.
"Actually my mom wasn't mad about that. The truth is, she asked me if you were a good girl Victoria." He raised his eyebrows.
My stomach gave a flip.
What was that supposed to mean?
"Good girl?" Ben frowned.
"What do you mean?" Shelton tilted his head slightly.
Hi shook his head, "I honestly have no clue. I told her that I had known you for years, and she had known you for a long time as well, and that that was a silly question to ask. Totally far-fetched." He sighed, " She left afterwards to the kitchen, but I'm quite sure she was talking to someone on the phone. One of your parents." He looked at the group. "Weird."
Oh great. Now what?
"I don't understand it." I said hesitatingly.
"No sweat Tory." Ben reassured me,"It's probably nothing."
"Yeah, he's right, don't worry." Shelton smiled.
"Right." Hi clapped his hands, "What did I miss?"
We told him everything.

He was working on his latest project in his isolated lab when the phone rang.
"Can't people leave me alone for a few hours?" He grumbled but picked it up anyway. "Hello?"
"Good evening, sir. I know you guys are busy, but take a chill pill and spare me a few minutes."
"Who are you? What do you want?"
"Oh your reactions are so similar." The voice said.
"Our reactions? Who else have you been talking to?"
"None of your concern... Or maybe it is. Whatever, I'm still not gonna tell you."
"Get to the point." he gritted his teeth.
"Okay, patience, Mr. Devers, patience pays. All I've got to say is, watch your son's red headed friend. And of course, your son too. Beta out."
The other end of the line cut.
