People knowing made him cagey. The Minutemen had realized, and understood, that it was best to not bring it out into the open.

[ And it was with that when he reached out, at first to just shove him, but a snap-quick decision changed it. The boy should leave, he didn't need him close. He'd have to change areas, just in case the boy told Nelson. He didn't need this right now. Thinking, considering were actions that would take too long.
He drove his fist at him, a sharp violent shot to his face, intending to silence him for long enough to get him out of there. ]
