It surprises the hell out of Jono, too. He glances over to Jackson, taking in his expression before reaching out to brush his mind against the other man's. Enough to realize exactly what's happening.
When he turns back to the officer and his contingent, though, he doesn't look scared. Definitely not as scared as someone with a gun to their head should be. And perhaps the way his eyes literally flash is a sign.
He touches the other telepath's mind, reaching in first to shatter his control over Jackson. Then he does the same to the shields meant to keep him and any other psychic out. The other telepath collapses only a moment later, unconscious before he hits the ground.
Jono never takes his eyes from the officer. "Realize I'm jus' a 'somewhat exceptional telepath' from the back endda time an' all, but you really should remember 'at nobody lays out all their cards in an openin' volley."
