I went inside the martial arts room to see Caleb resting.
"I know it is tiring but it's time for the next lesson, Sambo. It is a Russian combat and martial art. It was originally taught in the Russian military to improve their hand to hand combat abilities. I asked Pontus and Chronos to demonstrate it for you." I said to Caleb.
"Start!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Now you try." I told Caleb.
He tried it with Pontus. He really is a quick learner. With just seeing everything once, he remembers how to execute everything. All I need to do is to fix his posture and such. After hours of training, I decided to end it already.
"That's enough. Thanks Pontus, Chronos." I said.
Chronos and Pontus left.
"I was right."
"Right about what?" Caleb asked.
"That you have photographic memory."
"You noticed."
"I did. Us agents notice everything. You're lucky. Yours is inborn. We agents need to train very hard to have it. Very well. See you tomorrow. That's all."
I was about to go out when..
"Athena.."
"Yes?"
"Can go with me? I just need to go somewhere."
"Aren't the other agents available?"
He shook his head.
"Fine. Meet me here after an hour."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Get in." I told Caleb as motion him to get in my car.
"Thanks." Caleb said.
"I can only be with you for about 30 minutes. I still have a yoga class and a case to deal with later."
"Sure. Sure. It will be just for a while. But yoga then a case? I'm impressed with you agents. You do a lot."
"I just got used to it doing things a lot. Aerial silk acrobatics, work, yoga class then work again. I do paint once in a while. By the way, where are we going?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We arrived at the university Caleb was working at. Turns out he still hasn't taken a leave and he's been absent for about 4 days already.
"Let me guess. You took me here to be your alibi. And I thought you are the one with the high intelligence." I said.
"Don't flatter yourself too much." Caleb said.
We started walking to the dean's building.
"It's Sir Caleb! Professor!"
Girls started running to him like a mob of fan girls.
"Where have you been? We missed you."
Girl started swarming him. I rolled my eyes.
"Ehem. 20 minutes left." I told him.
"Sorry but I need to talk to the Dean right now." Caleb told the girls.
"But Professor.."
"Caleb.." I said.
"Who's this girl Professor? Is she your girlfriend?"
One girl said and then looked at me as if my something disgusting. I look at her back with one eyebrow raised.
"Excuse me. Me his girlfriend? No way." I said.
"No. She's not. She's just my.. cousin." Caleb said.
"Cousin?"
"Cousin. Sorry girls. I really need to go." Caleb said.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You never told me you were very popular with the girl students." I told Caleb as we get in the elevator.
"It's because my teacher method is very effective to them." Caleb said.
I laughed.
"What's funny?"
"Nothing. Well, I can't blame them because I've been there. Sir Theodore, smart, witty and most of all handsome. I wonder where he is now."
We arrived at the dean's office.
"Dean Jimenez please." Caleb said.
"He's inside. He's been looking for you." the dean's secretary said.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Mr. Franco, I've been wanting to talk to you. Have a seat."
He was looking at Caleb when he suddenly looks at me.
"Sophie is that you?" he told me.
"Tito Calvin?" I said.
It was Tito Calvin, a former agent of Adelphos. I didn't know he became a dean. He left few years after the merge. His agent name was Oceanus. He was with Dad ever since the Cassiopeia agency days. The last time I saw him was when I was 9 years old.
"Sophie, you've grown so well." Tito Calvin said.
"Thank you Tito Calvin or should I say Agent Oceanus?"
I smiled.
"Agent Oceanus?" Caleb said.
"That was along time ago."
"I didn't know you became a dean."
"I decided to teach after leaving Adelphos."
"Well you are the brain of Adelphos back then."
"Thank you Sophie."
"Athena, Tito. Athena."
"Oh. I didn't know you followed your father's order."
"Well what can I do? You know my Dad."
"Ehem." Caleb said.
"I'm sorry Mr. Franco. Let's go back to you."
"Sir, I want to apologize for my absents. It's just that I'm not in a very good position right now so I can't teach for a while."
"Well, I guess that your situation has something to do with Athena here."
"Yes Sir."
I told Tito about everything that happened.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Well, a month. I can allow you to get a leave for a month but that's it. Nothing more than that."
"Thank you very much Sir."
"It was nothing. But can you leave Athena and I for a while. We need to talk about something."
"Ok Sir."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After our talk, I went outside.
"What a small world." Caleb said.
"It is. Let's go." I said.
"Who would have thought Dean Jimenez was an agent for your agency. And your real name is Sophie Javier. That's why it is S. Javier, Sophie Javier."
"Shut up okay. Don't ever call me by my real name. You're lucky because if you are just any other person who gets to know my real name then you'd be dead by now."
"Fine. Sorry Athena."
"Let's go. I still have 10 minutes to get you to your condo and go to my yoga class."
