Entangled Interaction
to quickly take shape. I teleport to the bar. Grab my weapon of choice, rally up some help, return here. The cavalry saves the day. Got it.
    With a quick prayer, I focused and poofed out.
    I landed at the front door of the club. Quickly sending up a "thank you," I headed inside, bent on a mission.
    A huddle of men stood around the bar, engaged in a loud discussion. I recognized Jasmine's father, Micah, near the center of the group. A familiar dark head caught my attention from his position on the other side of the room. Meat. My heart pitter-pattered as I tapped down the emotions released from seeing him again. Happiness, excitement, and a gut-wrenching sadness cascaded over me as I stared at the man I still loved. As much as I wanted to rush to his side and be folded in his strong arms, I couldn't. Large hurdles still stood in the way of us as a couple, some perhaps too large to overcome. However, now wasn't the time for our problems, not when we needed a cavalry charge to rescue his sister.
    The bartender strode over to the end of the bar where I stood. I quietly asked if my purse had been turned in and smiled when he pulled it from under the wooden shelf.
    Thanking him, I began to dig. "Hey." I continued to search while trying to get the men's attention over the roar of the improvised meeting. "Hey!"
    All eyes turned toward me. Deliberately, I kept my eyes off Meat as I informed the group what had happened.
    The guys looked from me to one another, then began to murmur amongst themselves, attempting to formulate a finer plan based upon what little information I gave them.
    "I'll take you to her."
    "Shyanne, just tell us what you remember about where they took you," Meat said in his low baritone.
    "It's a house, two stories. Upstairs bedrooms." I tried to think about anything else that might make the location stand out. No train horns, no highway traffic, no gun shots.
    "That's all? That's all you can tell us? That could be a millions houses just in the Clearwater City area." One of the men I recognize as a bouncer spoke while tossing his arms up in the air in frustration.
    "It's all I know. We teleported inside. For some reason the big bad wolves decided to avoid walking us in through the front door." I gave him a glare and a frown, while digging out my Taser gun from my purse. Whatever those wolves were, I wouldn't put abject stupidity on the list. Although they did grab a pack alpha's daughter. On second thought, maybe they were morons after all.
    "Don't you recall anything else? Any little detail could be important." Meat stepped closer, his handsome face covered in serious worry.
    "I can teleport there." My voice held confidence and conviction. I had to. No other option would get to Jasmine in time.
    He shook his head. "Shyanne. We both know your chance of hitting the target, especially one that you spent maybe five minutes at, is only marginal."
    My eyebrows crinkled as I shot him a look of annoyance and frustration. I cringed with the pain of his offhanded insult. His lack of faith in me cut me to the core. "I can and I will."
    "We can't afford making fifteen mistakes before you might manage to actually hit the place." Meat frowned down at me in impatience. "Jasmine doesn't have that much time."
    My chin lifted as the burning lash of his criticism hit. I would show him. I am woman, hear me roar. I waved the Taser gun in the air, like a rallying flag. "Who's going with me?"
    Micah stepped up next to me. A long moment passed while he stared down at me in thought. I met his gaze and stood firm.
    "She's our best chance."
    Meat released a huge sigh, one that said he thought we were making a definite mistake. But he didn't argue further. His hand grabbed my arm while his father took the other side.
    "Everyone else stay here until we return." His father turned to the group, looking at each one as if to reinforce the order. After each one gave a slight nod, his attention returned to me. "We're ready. Take us to Jasmine."
