"There, all done. I'll just give you some medicines." Apollo said.
I went to his house since at this hour he's already gone home from the agency.
"Thanks."
Apollo's part of the agency but he doesn't do much field work like most agents do. He's job is to tend the agent's wound and cure their sickness. He's the resident doctor of the agency.
My phone suddenly beeped.
"Athena.."
It was Chronos.
"Bad news, Thomson got away."
"Crap. This is bad. Thanks Chorons. Just search the area one last time. I just talk to Hermes myself."
I put down the phone.
"Thanks again Apollo. I need to go back to the agency. Thomson got away."
"Athena, you need to rest."
"It's okay. I'm used to this."
"At least let me drive you to the agency." he said as he suddenly held my arm.
I immediately pulled my arm away.
"Fine."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Can't you track him down?" I asked Hermes.
"I'm trying." he answered.
"Sorry. You know I hate when bad guys get away."
"I understand Athena but it's already 3 am. You need to rest that leg of yours. I'll be the one to take care of this. I'll just call you later okay."
"Fine. Thanks Hermes."
As I was going to the elevator, I saw Apollo sleeping on the sofa.
"Apollo.." I tapped his shoulder gently.
"Oh. Athena. Are we going already?"
"You shouldn't have waited for me. I can go home myself."
"No. It's okay. I want to take you home. And.. I was worried."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day, I woke up with my phone ringing loudly. It was Hermes calling.
"I know you really hate being woken up from your sleep and you've slept for only just a few hours but there's a big problem." he said.
"It's okay. I'll be there in a few minutes." I answered.
I got ready and went straight to the agency. Hermes immediately called me as soon as I arrived.
"Is your leg already okay?" he immediately asked.
"Yup. Thanks. Well, what's the problem?" I asked.
"Thomson got out of the country. He's in South Korea right now. But the problem is his men are after you and the guy you are with, Mr. Caleb Franco."
"The guy who kept calling me Kate?"
"Yup. Here's his profile."
"Thanks. I'll read it later." I said.
"By the way, he's on his way here. Pontus already fetched him."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Can anybody tell me what's going on here?"
I suddenly heard someone shouting. I went outside to see what's happening.
"Please calm down." Pontus said.
It was the guy from last night, Caleb. He and Pontus had just arrived.
"Calm down? How can I calm down when someone is trying to kill me?" Caleb said.
"Would you please shut up!" I told Caleb.
"Athena.."
Pontus straightened his stand even if he has a wound on his thigh.
"Go to Apollo. Let him take care of your wound. I'll take care of this."
Pontus bowed a little and went away.
"Mr. Franco, please follow me and we'll tell you what's really happening."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Before anything, welcome to Adelphos. I'm Agent Hermes and this is Agent Athena. You're here because you got involved in one of our cases." Hermes said.
"That is also why someone is trying to kill you." I added.
"What? I don't understand. Adelphos? Agents?"
"We are agents Mr. Franco. We do the dirty work the government can't do. And this is our agency, Adelphos. You may not remember it because you are really drunk last night but last night at Foxy you've mistaken me for a girl named Kate. You kept following me around."
"What's that got to do about the fact that someone's trying to kill me?"
"I'm not yet finished Mr. Franco. I was about to kill our target that night, Landon Thomson when you barged in insisting I am Kate. He got away because of you. He's in South Korea but his men are here doing everything right now just to kill you and me."
I unzipped my boot and showed him the bullet wound on my leg.
"Well, here's a bullet wound to prove it. I was about to shoot him but you disrupted me and he was able to shoot my leg. I can protect myself but can you protect yourself Mr. Franco?"
"But don't worry Mr. Franco we'll be ensuring your safety until Thomson is caught." Hermes said.
"No need. I'll get my own security."
"It's fine with us. Though I'm very sure ordinary security company can't protect you. But we understand. We just brought you here so that you'd be aware of what's really happening. Chronos.."
"Yes Athena?" Chronos said.
"Escort Mr. Franco out."
"Yes Athena."
Caleb went out of Hermes' office escorted by Chronos.
"Send me the whole profile of Thomson and he's location too. I'll just book a flight right away so that I could arrive in South Korea as soon as possible. Thanks Hermes."
I patted his shoulder and went outside.
"Athena.."
It was Caleb.
"Mr. Franco, I thought you are going already." I told him.
"I've decided."
"On what Mr. Franco?"
"I've decided that I'm going with you to South Korea."
