"Mr. Franco, just wait for Agent Athena and Hemera. They'd be with you in a while. They are a bit late for they are coming from a case in Cebu." Hermes said.
"Agent Athena and Hemera?" Caleb said.
"Why Mr. Franco? Do you have a problem with our female agents teaching you? I don't want to sound arrogant but you are lucky Agent Athena and Hemera are teaching you. They don't teach their skills to just anyone."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I arrived in the agency from a case in Cebu with Hemera.
"I think I need to get my gun fixed. I feel there's something wrong." Hemera said.
"Just let Hephaestus check it." I answered.
We were walking when Hermes approached us.
"Athena, Hemera, Mr. Franco is in the waiting room already."
"Mr. Franco?" Hemera asked.
"The guy from the Thomson case. It's our job to train him for 2 weeks."
"Oh. Okay. Let's go."
"By the way, I already briefed him about Thomson."
"Thanks Hermes. You've done a lot already."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mr. Franco, sorry for waiting. By the way, this is Agent Hemera. As you may know, we are the ones who'll train you. Hermes said he already briefed you so you know Thomson is not an easy enemy. But that's why we are here. Let's go Mr. Franco." I said.
He followed us as we go to the firing range.
"You'd be learning a lot of skills this week. While the next week would be spent on practicing those skills." I said.
"Put this on. Here's your gun." Hemera said
She handed him the earmuff and the gun.
"Athena, I'll just go to Hephaestus. I need to him to check my gun. I'll just meet you at the fencing room later."
"Sure." I answered.
I took one earmuff and gun and started shooting. The three bullets went straight to the middle of the board.
"You try Mr. Franco." I told him.
He did and the bullets went a few centimeters from the center.
"Caleb.."
"Pardon?"
"Call me Caleb."
"Fine. Caleb, Not bad. But relax your shoulder. Hold the gun tighter and spread your legs a bit." I said as I put my hand on his shoulder.
He shot again and the bullet went straight to the middle of the board.
"See, you are a fast learner. But you may want to practice more. I'll get going. Just go to the fencing room later, the last room in the hallway. Hemera would be waiting for you there." I said.
"You are not teaching me fencing?"
"No. Hemera would be teaching you that one."
I left the room.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"How's the trainee?"
Aphrodite approached me again while I was eating at the restaurant that lunch time.
"Trainee?" I said.
"The guy from the Thomson case, Mr. Caleb Franco."
"Oh him. Okay. I only taught him target shooting. Ask Hemera, she teaching him fencing right now actually."
"He's handsome isn't he? I saw him this morning."
"Handsome? Maybe. But what do you get from handsome guys? Problems and heartaches. Without that guy, Thomson is now dead and I won't be thinking about his case right now."
"Can we join you?"
I turned around and it was Hemera and Caleb.
"I though he'd be lonely so I invited him to lunch."
"Sure." Aphrodite said.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I need to go. I still have a case to work on." Aphrodite said.
"Me too. I forgot to get my gun from Hephaestus. Athena, I'll leave him to you." Hemera said.
That leaves me and this Caleb guy together eating. After eating, I immediately stood up.
"I'll go ahead. I think you had enough for the day. We'll just resume the training tomorrow. You may go back to the condo after eating. Don't go anywhere without an agent with you."
I went outside but he followed me.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Uhm. Athena.."
"Yes?"
I was looking around when suddenly I saw someone hiding in the bushes. It was a guy. He was about to shoot Caleb.
"Step aside." I told Caleb.
I immediately pushed him, got my gun and shot the guy.
"Run."
