Tried this one a year ago with no luck, thought I'd try again.

People with paranormal abilities are hunted by the government. A boy and a girl with abilities are hunted but eventually get away due to intervention by head of government organization that does the hunting. Closing paragraphs of the book, that government official locks his office and teleports home.

Book is probably Young Adult.

Author wrote more than one book, but I have no recollection of others.

This sounds like Slan except the ending. Maybe it is a short story or young adult version.

No, definitely not Slan. I've re-read that recently.

Some more things that occur to me. I read this in the early 70s and it wasn't a new book. I seem to remember the book being shelved in the middle-ish of the young adult section...i.e., the author's name is probably not Anderson or Zelazny. :-)

Sounds like the Witch Mountain series?

Thanks, but no, definitely nothing of Alexander Key's.

I think you might be talking about "The Fury". I don't remember the author, but it was a movie with John Cassavetes in the 70's.

touchstone The Fury by John Farris

Hmm, hard to tell from the description. I'll try to find it and see if it's the one. Thanks.
