Sophie's Seduction
house from afar where he was sure the cousin lived.  He sent the coordinates to Marco who was on the ground in wolf form and saw him begin to head in the direction.
    As Dominik made a turn to head that way also, the air began to feel thicker and he felt like he couldn't breathe .  He pulled back from that area and realized it was a barrier, like the one Cade had found. 
    ' Marco, you feeling anything from where you are ?' Dominik sent.
    ' I just hit like a wall.  Had to change to human again to get through it.  What is it ?' Marco said.
    ' Don't know yet.  It has to be the same thing Cade encountered.  Be careful, ' Dominik warned.
    ' Who me?'
    ' Yeah, ' Marco sent back, chuckling.
    Dominik then communicated with Trent and Christian, warning them of the barrier.  They sent back that they hadn't encountered it yet and would go forward with caution.  Dominik then headed to where he knew Marco was and changed back to human form.  He caught up to him quickly and they began to head in to where they knew the cousin was supposed to be located. 
    As they approached the homestead, they heard men's angry voices yelling and then they heard a woman scream .  They came up behind a barn-like structure and peered around to see what was going on.  They saw five men spread out throughout the backyard, two of them were holding a woman between them.  One man, who seemed to be the ringleader, had an older man kneeling on the ground with a gun pointed at his head. 
    "Where is she, Rochelle? This is the last time I'm gonna ask," the leader yelled at the woman.
    "I don't know .  If she was here, I didn't see her." Rochelle sobbed.  "Please, Bo, don't hurt my dad."
    "It's okay , baby, don't worry.  You are going to be fine.  Mother Eileen said so," the older man on his knees, obviously her father, said to her.
    The leader, known as Bo, spit on the ground and said, "Mother Eileen .  She don't know shit.  I'm gonna count to three, Rochelle, then he dies."
    "NO!" Rochelle tried to get away from her captors, but they were too strong, pulling her back away from her father.
    "One..." Bo started counting.
    Dominik looked around for anything they could use to help them since they couldn't change forms.  They didn't bring weapons with them as they couldn't carry them in animal form.  He saw Marco was doing the same thing.  Although both men were well trained in hand to hand combat, the men in the yard had weapons and it was a foregone conclusion they would die trying to get to them.
    "Two..."
    "I don't know where she is...please..." Rochelle begged. 
    "It's okay , baby, I love you," her father said just before there was a loud explosion from the gun. 
    "Three...ah well ," Bo said as Rochelle's father fell to the ground dead.
    Rochelle screamed and screamed, falling to the ground sobbing .  The two men holding her let her go and she crumpled, crawling to her father's body.  She laid her body over it and sobbed.  Bo walked over to her and grabbed her by her hair, yanking her head back so hard she cried out as he made her look at him.
    " Where is she?" Bo growled in her face.
    "Some men took her, down to the bayou .  That's all I know." Rochelle sobbed as Bo let her go and she fell onto her father's body.
    Bo turned to the other men .  "Toby, you and Greg are coming with me.  Bobby and Jim, you stay here in case we discover she is lying." He turned to Rochelle.  "You better not be lying, Rochelle, or you will be lying beside your no good father."
    Bo and two of his men headed toward a truck parked to the side of the house and tore off out of the driveway .  The other two men that stayed behind grabbed Rochelle and jerked her into the house, leaving her father's body lying on the ground outside.
    Dominik had contacted Trent and Christian to join him and Marco at Rochelle's house, they came up just as the men took Rochelle inside .  Dominik knew they didn't have a lot of time before the others came back when they discovered
