“Yes, well, it should seem that children can complicate things,” he stated as two trails of smoke exited his nostrils.
“I can’t board a plane with her even if I claim she is my emotional support dragon.”
Owen chuckled and then caught himself and stopped.
“I have a few friends who are extremely well off,” he said in a serious tone. “They have private jets. I might be able to coax them into taking us where we need to go. They are complicated people though. Negotiation might involve some strange requests.”
“Make some calls,” I urged him. “See what the price will be and then we can go from there. I’m going home. Call me if anything come us. I mean anything. Even if something seems insignificant, call me.”
“You’ve got it. And Junipher.” He paused for a few moments. “I promise we will get your dragons back.”
His pledge didn’t slow down my racing heart or inject any feeling back into my numb body. Why would a pitbull shifter steal dragon eggs? I only had to ponder it for a second to realize that anyone would love to have dragons. He could also sell them too.
I got home and Titania and Ossias were in the living room. I sighed heavily in relief. As I explained the situation to Titania, I fought back tears. Titania zipped off diligently to pack for the trip. I scooped up Ossias from the couch and clutched her to my heart.
“Some jerk has taken your brothers and sisters,” I said softly and rubbed the tiny spikes on top of her head with my thumb. “But don’t worry, we will find him.”
Later that day, Owen called and informed me that Roald had landed in San Diego. We weren’t sure how long he would stay so we had to act quickly. As I started to pack, I threw the Dagda’s Harp inside one of my bags. Maybe we could stop in Seattle after we rescued my dragons.
That took a backseat to the main objective, which was finding my dragons and bringing them home safely.
