Thess Hero

Chapter 34

Two days passed by, and Artemis' parents were stressed out as hell, thinking that she went missing.

-Where could she be, what could have happened to her?!

Her mom said while looking desperately at the floor, crying, her eyes wide open. Socrates knowing what really has happened, tried to cheer her up.

-Come on mom, we'll find her... I am sure she is safe...

He said. "Artemis, wait for me" he thought.

Then Dionysus walked in the shop, pretending he doesn't know anything. He acts as if he's concerned and asks Artemis's and Socrates' mom what's wrong. Their mother while crying, tried to respond

-My daughter...Artemis...she hasn't come home for 2 days now...I am extremely worried!...

-Oh that really doesn't sound good...

He replied. Socrates gave him an angry stare.

-What is it Socrates? Why you looking at me like that?

Dionysus said with an unsurprised expression.

-We need to talk

Socrates said and then continued

- Mom, you can go upstairs and try to relax...

And so she did.

-So, what is it

Dionysus said

-Alright, Akis. What are you up to?

Socrates replied, having an intimidating expression on his face.

-What the hell do you mean "what am I up to"?

-Oh you know, very damn well actually. Why did Artemis got in jail? What did you do?

At that moment there's silence for two seconds, but then he responds

-...so you learnt about me, huh. Artemis told you, right?

-I don't have time to answer useless questions like that. You answer mine first.

-As if I would tell you!

He said and stood up from his chair, about to walk out, but Socrates grabbed him by his arm.

-Look man, I actually liked your company while working here, I don't wanna beat you...for now that is

Dionysus said

-I want to beat you though

Socrates said and threw a punch at him

-What the fuck man?!

Dionysus yelled and tried to punch him back but Socrates caught his fist and then put him down, blocking him, making him not being able to move at all

-You said you have some problems with your heart, right? What was it, tachycardia? You probably don't wanna tire yourself, instead if you'd like a hospital visit

Socrates said. Dionysus grinded his teeth and just angrily stared at him. Then exactly at that moment a woman, a costumer walks in the shop and sees them, one being on top of another, she just stared awkwardly and so did Dionysus and Socrates back at her.

-Can't you see the sign says we're closed?!

Socrates said and the costumer just left without saying a word. Then some loud falling sounds came from the back.

-What was that now

Socrates said

-Oh it maybe is one of my teammates?
