The two telepaths' attempts at mental commands...fail.
That mental fuzziness? It's present in the store, for sure, but it
also seems to be present around Will
herself, now as she moved. Just as the 'fuzziness' had come from the box of glowing red balls, it
also seemed to be coming from Will herself now...

Bits of plaster and roof shingles fly off as Tereza scrambles up towards the roof. Collateral damage; looks like ASHLIE would have to cut someone another check.
Tereza was faster than Will on the rooftops, but Will was much more mobile, springing across gaps and squeezing through cracks and narrow passageways Tereza would have to figure out ways to go around or
through. The benefit of having flexible anatomy was that there was no passageway too tight for Mel to squeeze through.
Raw speed wasn't going to work here, but wolves are more than just about
speed when hunting, yes?
