AGENT Series: The Best Mistake (FINISHED)

Chapter 5

The guy fired his gun and the bullet hit my arm but I was able to shoot at him back. He was hit in the torso area. I then followed Caleb.

"You got shot. We need to get you to the hospital right now." he said.

"No need. I'll be okay." I said.

"But Athena.."

"Let's go back to the agency."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Get him back to condo. Someone was following him good thing I was there." I said as we arrived at the agency.

"I can't leave you in that situation." Caleb said.

"Just do as I say." I told him as I go to Apollo.

"What happened?" Apollo asked.

"One of Thomson's men followed me and Caleb. He almost killed one of us." I said.

"Good thing you are good at those kinds of things." Apollo said.

I then noticed Caleb peeking by the door.

"I told you to go back to the condo didn't I?"

"Sorry. I was just worried." Caleb said.

"Fine. Come in."

He looks quite squeamish as he sat down and watched as Apollo took out the bullet from my arm.

"Just close your eyes. I don't want you to vomit here." I joked.

"Is this the guy from the Thomson case?" Apollo asked.

"I didn't know this guy's famous. Apollo this is Mr. Caleb Franco. Caleb, this is Agent Apollo, the resident doctor of the agency." 

"Nice to meet you. Don't worry she's fine. It won't scar either. " Apollo said.

"Nice to meet you too." Caleb said.

"It never does. Apollo here invented a machine to make wounds heal faster and not scar."

He suddenly opens his eyes.

"But what about that scar?" he said.

He was pertaining to the scar near my collarbone.

"Let's just say his invention wasn't there at that time and I wanted to keep the scar to remind me of something."

I looked at Apollo then at Caleb.

"Uhm. You may want to already rest this time. You need a lot of rest since you have two bullet shots now."

"Thanks Apollo. I will. Caleb, you may want to go back to the condo now. I'm already okay. No need to worry."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I painted while listening to Chopin that night. Caleb noticing my scar took me again to that night.

Apollo or Sean as his real name actually is and I used to date. I was already in my second year of being an agent and Sean wasn't an agent yet but a medicine student at a prestigious university. We agreed to meet up that night for a date. We were walking down the street after our dinner when suddenly a car stopped in front of us. Then a guy went out of the car. It was son of a person I killed in a case. He was about to shoot Sean when I pushed Apollo. The bullet hit me and I fell on the ground as the guy goes back in the car and escape.

He rushed me to the hospital and I was in ICU for two days. After I woke up, I decided to end it with Sean. I don't want him getting hurt because of my job. I love him so much that I'm willing to let him go. Maybe, I still love him until now that's why I still haven't had a relationship after that.

Anyways, I retained the scar to remember everything we had. But little did I know that after a year succeeding the incident, he'll try out as an agent in Adelphos. He didn't pass the most of the test but Dad thought that his medical skills would really help the agency so he got in. It was very awkward seeing him at first but I got used to it and we just keep our relationship professional.

I was painting when someone knocked at the door.

"Agent Athena, it's Hestia."

I opened the door. It was Hestia and Caleb. Hestia and Caleb? What are they doing here?

"Hestia, what are you doing here with Caleb?" I said.

She bowed a little out of respect.

"We need to make sure the loft is safe. We are having reports that a suspicious man is lurking near the loft." Hestia said.

"But why take him here?"

"Your condo is the closest to agency and he won't need other agents when he's here. It would only be for a night."

"Are you sure it would be only for a night?"

"I'm very sure."

I rolled my eyes.

"Fine." I said.

"Thank you Athena."

Hestia left.

"Come in." I told Caleb.
