"I'm not on duty for another few months," Athena stated.

"Yea, but this is an urgent matter, and we have to send a team in." Chloe declared, handing her a file while Camille skimmed through it when Athena opened it. Camille frowned the moment she recognised the name. She chased the Witch more than a decade ago and thought she was dead. Athena turned to look at her mother, slightly worried.

"You're under her, not me. Don't look at me." Camille said, taking a sip of her coffee before glaring at Chloe.

"I thought she was dead too." Chloe sighed as Ines ran in, panting.

"Lobby!" Ines managed out. The Auclair quirked up, and Athena practically sprinted to the lobby with them following, barely closing the gap. Once in the lobby, they saw red and the different emotions displayed on each face. Some wizards tried to heal them, but they claimed he was dead. 

"Who did this?" Camille shouted as Athena checked the body. Suddenly there was a breath taken from the bloodied body. This bloke was trying hard to survive; he was determined. Athena tries her hardest to heal, and Camille runs over to help with Elaine. Elaine is superb with healing spells. "Somebody answer my question!"

"Minister, I think we know who it is." Athena voiced, turning John Doe's head, showing the marking on his neck. The symbol known for the Witch Athena was going to be sent after. Camille clenched her jaws while Athena sighed. "I guess I'm getting my first paycheck this week."

"You're not," Camille said with a soft smile, knowing that her daughter was trying to diffuse the tension.

Athena gasped and faked offence, "How could you use me like that?" The bloke coughed as he was carried off to be sent to a hospital. He managed to grip somehow Athena's hand, which freaked her out. Everyone around her was on high alert. No one can touch the precious Athena Auclair. 

"Please, my wife. Cat—" That was all he managed to say before passing out to exhaustion. Athena frowned and looked at the ground.

"Hostage situation. Are you sure I'm cut out for this?" Athena shuddered. She does not want to experience losing her wife in a situation like his. Camille smiled at her and kissed her forehead before walking away when someone needed her. Athena sighed and was relieved. Small gestures from her mother were all she needed. "Let's meet my team, shall I?"

"Yes, you shall." Juliette quirked, popping behind Chloe and giving her a mini heart attack while she received a whack from her boss. Juliette rolled her eyes and mocked her reaction, receiving another hit.

"Thena!" Johnathan greeted as Athena jogged over to him and hugged him. Juliette smiled brightly before pulling her niece in a bone-crushing hug as if they had not shared a bed last night. Finally, Athena greeted her team, seeing a lot of familiar faces and a few slightly unhappy sights.
