ATHENAThe restaurant I chose was one which I was quite familiar with already, I really enjoyed their food and everything which was one of the reasons why I went there.The guards stood in a corner of the room while I ate, it was obvious that this was clearly Rafael’s instructions. I bet he told them not to let me out of their sight the whole day. This brought a smile to my face, if there was something I liked more than anything, it was a challenge.I finished my food and got up to head to the restroom. One of the guards followed after me immediately and I stopped him right as I got to the door.“What are you doing?” I asked,“I am very sorry ma’am but we are under very clear instructions not to let you out of our sight.” He said,“I see that actually but come on, are you really going to follow me to use the restroom?” I asked, “Will your boss really be comfortable with that?”The man looked extremely embarrassed as he thought about it and I laughed.“Don’t worry I won’t be too long,”

RAFAEL“They will be out any minute now and that’s when we are going to strike.” Hernandez said to me, “Are you ready?”“You already know I am.”He was crouched beside me peering out of binoculars at the warehouse in front of us. We were both dressed in black and I reached for the pistol behind me to check it one more time. The silencer was fixed and it was fully loaded, the plan was to get in as quickly as possible without making too much noise.This was one of the warehouses which was on Hermes’s list. We had already hit two of them and had found a variety of things in them ranging from drugs to weapons and everything you could think of. Hernandez had not been joking when he said Hermes had his hands mixed in almost everything I could think of in one way or another. I had not believed at first but now it was hard to dispute it, the man was indeed truly sick.I now knew how he made his money and this was my chance to attack it from the shadows. It was very obvious that he wasn’t the

ATHENAI had been locked in the room for close to two days now. Rafael’s face when I walked into the house kept on playing in my head, he was genuinely angry at me and the fact that he didn’t even say anything about it made things tremendously worse. I hated how it made me feel, it felt like I had been struck by a bolt of lightning that pierced directly through my heart.The fact that he didn’t even let me talk or defend myself was even worse for me. He didn’t want me to even say a word to him and he hadn’t bothered to talk to me ever since the incident. I understood his anger totally, of course he was going to be angry. After all I ran away from him and his guards, there was no way for him to know where I was or if I would even return. It was enough to send anybody into a state of anger but then he should have allowed me the opportunity to even talk about it.There was a perfectly good explanation for everything if he was even willing to hear it but from the looks of things, it was o

Hermes kept on walking around his office completely furious about everything that was going on. Rafael was proving to be a bigger thorn in his flesh than the thought would be possible. The boy was actually making moves behind the scenes which were seriously hurting Hermes’s business. The confrontation with Juan about the warehouse was only the first of many. Other complaints had been flying in from literally everywhere, facilities were being hit from everywhere.At first Hermes had thought that there was a mole in the organization and had tried his best to root out those he thought would be the mole. At some point he even considered Hernandez a threat that needed to be put down but then he advised himself against it. It became obvious to him that the places which were being hit were not places that would be known by just anybody. They were key parts of his organization, where he made a lot of his financial investments.Warehouses filled with drugs, guns, money and everything were bein

ATHENAMy eyes fluttered open, as I found myself staring up at a sterile, white ceiling. I blinked my eyes rapidly, trying my best to adjust to the new influx of light that was coming in. My vision was extremely blurring and a wave of dizziness was threatening to render me unconscious again. My hands instinctively went straight for my head to feel it, there was a sharp, pounding resounding pain that didn’t seem to know when to stop.I groaned softly as I tried my best to sit up, pushing myself by my elbows. My mouth was extremely dry and my limbs felt really heavy like they were completely submerged in water. Every piece of movement seemed to push me to new levels of pain and everything was proving to be really exhausting.Looking around, I tried to make sense of everything that was around me. It was obvious I was no longer in the house as I tried to stare out of the large window that was always in the bedroom when I woke up but it was nowhere to be found. The room I was in was quite

RAFAELMy face looked like it had just seen a ghost, that was because it actually just had. There were so many questions running through my head as I turned around and my eyes landed on her face.“Rachael.” I voiced out in complete shock,She was the last person I expected to see here, in fact I didn’t expect her to be here at all. There was no way the girl who I thought had died all those years ago was standing right in front of me, holding a knife to my face and threatening to kill me.Her face looked much older, she had aged beautifully. She had on a hoodie that sort of covered her face a little but then I could remember that face anywhere. It had appeared in my dreams too often for me to even forget her.“How?” I asked, “How are you here?”There was a shake in my voice as I stood there stuttering. I had not been scared at first when the knife was placed behind me in the club, I had half expected for Hermes to go through this route and was ready for whatever that came with it. But

Hermes ran his hand through his silver streaked hair, as he paced back and forth in his dimly lit office. The sound of his footsteps echoed all through the house, he had sent off the remainder of his guards, to him they were just a bunch of incompetent wannabes. He had sourced for reinforcement from the people that he had chosen with his own hand. It was very hard to find real help these days, if it wasn’t then they definitely would not have let Juan storm into his heavily defended house like it was nothing.The whole office was a mess, as papers lay everywhere and there were bottles of whisky laid out on the floor. Hermes had not bothered to clean it for days now, there were other pressing thoughts that filled his mind and the state of his office was definitely not one of them.A hint of frustration was beginning to show in both his stride and his voice, nothing seemed to be going according to plan anymore and he had no idea how to handle everything. Sending in Rachael to take out Ra

ATHENAMy eyes turned to the clock which was hanging on the wall in a corner in the house. It was almost the night of the next day and Rafael had not reached out ever since he dropped me off. He had said whatever he was going to do was not going to take so much time, it surprised me when he didn’t come home yesterday and now, he still wasn’t back. He had not reached out to me at all but when I asked Ella about him she had said that he was fine and had called to ask her to get something for him.I felt really pathetic when I asked her if he had mentioned anything about me, but then she said he just called to give specific instructions. None of these instructions involved me apparently, he didn’t mention me once. It was obvious that he didn’t care about me as much as wanting to know how I felt after dropping me off.None of it made any sense to me. I was trying my hardest to comprehend the sudden switch from him, after all we shared multiple moments in the hospital. We even shared conve
