'One Law' (3 Parts) by Roger Price

Mike, a new Tomorrow Person, uses his telekinesis to open a neighbour’s door. Meanwhile, John, Stephen, Elizabeth and Tyso return from the Galactric Trig, arriving in a dusty and cobweb-covered Lab. Mike’s neighbour, Mister O'Reilly, is visited by two heavies, Two Tone and Slow, who want money that O'Reilly owes from gambling at Lord Dunning's betting shops. Unable to pay, O'Reilly tells them about Mike's ability to open locks; he brings Mike to meet them, and they trick him into showing his power, and then blackmail him into helping them break into the National Victoria Bank. After opening the locks and overriding the alarm systems. Mike tricks the heavies, locking them in the vault. His laughter is heard telepathically by John, Elizabeth and Stephen, who decide not to contact him in order to reduce the problems of breaking-out. A police inspector, Burke, releases Two Tone and Slow, but they refuse to talk. The next day O'Reilly asks Mike to his flat, as Lord Dunning wants to meet him. John and Stephen jaunt to the bank vault and discover that psychokinetic energy has been used; using their contact with the Prime Minister they arrange a meeting with Inspector Burke. Lord Dunning threatens Mike's family, but the boy uses his powers to frighten him off. After Two Tone and Slow are interrogated by John, the Tomorrow People visit O'Reilly, who tells them that Dunning has kidnapped Mike, his mother and sister. Burke takes John, Stephen and Elizabeth to Dunning's country house, but the Lord denies any knowledge of Mike. While Dunning and his heavies visit O'Reilly, Mike opens the lock on the cellar door, and he and his family escape. Mike manages to attract the attention of Burke, but he, his mother and sister are recaptured when Dunning and his butler Thwaites create a diversion. Burke calls Tim on the special telephone number and tells him of his sighting of Mike. He then organises a raid on Lord Dunning's house. Mike hears the commotion, and tricks his guard into firing his gun, alerting the inspector, who releases them. John tells Mike and Burke that they cannot prosecute Dunning as it would draw attention to Mike's ability. Stephen teaches Mike how to jaunt, but Mike is still upset about Dunning, and goes to see him, offering to go into partnership with him. Stephen sees Mike getting out of Dunning's Rolls Royce, and brings him to the Lab, but he refuses to talk to the Tomorrow People, and jaunts away. However, John has planted a bugging device on the Rolls Royce. Mike arrives at the American Union bank, and opens the door, allowing Lord Dunning and Thwaites to enter. On a tip-off, Inspector Burke follows them in, and tries to arrest them, but Thwaites threatens to shoot Mike. But Mike jaunts, and the Inspector faints. Following the tracking signal, John, Stephen and Elizabeth jaunt to the vault and capture Lord Dunning and Thwaites. Mike joins the Tomorrow People.
