Prof. Cawston discovers that a gypsy boy named Tyso is about to break-out, and arranges to show him to the military. While attempting to contact Tyso, Stephen sees through his eyes, and recognises Cawston. He jaunts to the professor's office, but he refuses to help. Later, at the demonstration, Tyso�s powers are watched by Col. Masters and Tricia Conway. Prof. Cawston subsequently contacts the Tomorrow People, telling them that Tyso had disappeared. John, Stephen and Elizabeth jaunt to Tyso's caravan, where they are told by Tyso�s mother that his father had sold him to Col. Masters. The trio then arrive at Cawston's office, where the professor tells them that the colonel wanted him to join his research group. However, Trish, a telepath, has read the professor's mind and warned Masters about Stephen and Elizabeth. John realises that they must find Tyso within two to three days, otherwise the strain of breaking-out will kill him.
