The other way around

Fifteen

Third person P.O.V.

Dean watched Athena driving away, deep down he had a feeling in his chest that something was going to fail, even though the plan sounded pretty simple.

Those first three days passed slowly, Dean couldn't sleep, he got used to having her close to him and he now felt cold without her. Everyone in the house was really friendly to him and were all on edge because they didn't get any news yet.

Far away from home, Athena was trying not to think of Dean, she had to focus on the task at hand. Everyone was ready to start their attack, everyone had black clothes and had knives in their hands or guns with the silencer to kill everyone that was outside the house without getting attention.

"I want this house turned to dust in one hour, separate in groups of four, take the C4 and start putting on the walls, I want everyone here in 20 min." Athena orders her men. With a 'yes boss' everyone got to work.

Athena had three others with her and she had two more places to put the blocks of C4. They carefully put the explosives in their place. They found a couple of guards around the house but they silently took them down. They had a drone so they sent him to the hair so they could see inside the house through the broken windows.

And indeed Blaise was inside of what looked like an office, with a big dark desk, and shelves with dusty old books all around.

"Let's go to the others." She said after slitting a guard's throat.

All the groups gathered in the hiding spot. But four people were missing, one of them being Fred.

"Fred where the fuck are you?" Athena asked through the device in her ear.

"We have a problem, Athena." Fred said, and she started to get worried.

"What is it?"

"The long-distance is not working, this needs to be at lead 16 feet close. But that means-"

"That means that someone has to stay behind." She finished what he was saying.

Athena started pacing back and forward, thinking of what she could do, but she knew what she had to do, she couldn't let anyone else die, not because of Blaise, his death was on her.

"Come back immediately." She told him. Five minutes later Fred and the other 3 were joining them.

"What do we do boss?" He asked her. He already knew what she was going to say. But he literally prayed to be wrong.

"Give me the detonator. Alright listen everyone, I'm going to be the one pressing the button. You stay here and everyone that gets out you shot to kill. Don't go look for me. After the explosion you'll have 10/15 minutes before the police and the fire department get here you'll have to be long gone."

"Athena you're going to die if you get that close."

"I know Fred it has to be done." She said to her friend.

"You can't." He said.

"I can, and you will not stop me. Make sure Blaise body is discovered and confirm his death. Take care of Dean, shit Fred i- just tell him i already love him okay?" She said and started running closer to the mansion.

Athena was behind some bushes, she tried the detonator but it didn't work. She knew she had to get closer. But now she didn't have more places to hide, if there was someone outside they would see her, but it was now or never.

Trying to avoid the light from the windows Athena only walked through the shadows.

"Who are you?" A deep voice came from behind her, she froze on the spot. Her hand was going to the gun but the person talked before she could.

"You'll be dead before you reach that gun." The guy said.

She turned around slowly and saw the guy pointing a gun at her. In a second Athena jumped on the guy making him drop the gun. She started to punch him in the face, the guy was almost twice her size and his muscle make him look like a wardrobe.

Every time she tried to reach for the gun or blade he would grab her and stop her movements. Her time was ending fast, she knew Blaise wasn't going to stay in the house forever and if another guard passed through here, all this plan would be for nothing, instead of keeping fighting, Athena ran.

She ran as fast as her feet could carry her, in the house direction, and kept pressing the detonator button until the first block of C4 exploded and the others followed seconds behind.

Athena felt it all, she was thrown away by the force of the explosion, she flew through the yard, she felt bones breaking, glass penetrating her skin. The pain made her eyes close, somewhere in the mud between trees, grass, and bushes. Her last thought was the person she wanted the most, Dean.

Fred and the guys watched the explosion, they stayed there until the house crumbled down and was eaten by the flames. All of them bowed their head in respect of their lost boss. Fred was rooted to the floor he couldn't believe what Athena did, he had to call Lorenzo and all the allies, the American mafia will be very vulnerable in the next few days.

And there was Dean that was at home, with his heart beating a mile a second because he didn't know what was happening, and Fred had to tell him the news. Of all the things he had to do, that would be the most hard one, he saw how the two of them looked at each other. He knew his boss and best friend, Athena, was completely mad in love with that boy.

"Time to go home boys." Fred said to the guys, wiping the tear that escaped his eye before turning around and going back to the car.

Oh my god! What did I do? 🥺
