We were walking out of the back door when one of Thomson's men saw us, the same man in the club, Skull. I remember his name from Thomson's profile. He must have not eaten the food with the poison.
"You're that Agent Athena. You must the one who shot boss. It's because of you that he's now dead."
Then more men of Thomson appeared.
"You go to the right I go to the left." Caleb said.
We fought with Thomson's men.
"Here." I said.
I pulled Caleb inside the janitor's closet.
"Where are they?" I heard Skull saying.
"I think I saw them going to that direction." another said.
"Let's go." Skull said.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Let's go. Skull might come back." I told Caleb.
When I was sure no one was following us, I went to the liquor store and bought a bottle of vodka. After that, I went to the beach. Caleb followed me the whole time.
"What's with the bottle of vodka?" Caleb asked.
"We're gonna celebrate. Your two week training paid off."
"Thanks to you."
"And to Hemera."
"How about Skull and the other men? When will you deal with them?"
"Don't worry. I'll deal with them first thing tomorrow. Just chill. It's our last day here in Korea and it's your last day being a "semi" agent. Here."
I drank from the bottle and passed it to him.
"What's with the long face?"
"Nothing."
"Don't tell me you'll miss training and being a "semi" agent? It's hard so I suggest don't dream of being one?"
"No."
"Don't tell me you'll miss me?"
He didn't answer.
"Haha. I was just joking. For our last day in Korea, you can ask me one question but in return I have to ask you too a question. Deal?"
I took the bottle from him and drank from it.
"Deal."
"I'll ask first. Who's Kate?"
"She's the girl I used to love. She's the reason I am what I am today. She's the reason I changed from being a nerd to this. I did everything for her but she doesn't love me back."
Caleb told me the story of him and Kate as we take turns on drinking from the bottle.
"What a lame story."
"It's not."
"You should have done everything while you were in high school. Hay.. Unrequited love. I just hate it. Well, if she doesn't love you then you should have backed of. You can't force someone to love you if they don't."
"It's my turn to ask."
"What's your plan now?"
"It's already my turn to ask. You said just one question."
"That's the last one I promised."
"I plan to find her again but to apologize. I don't know, each day I'm beginning to question if I really love her or I just love the idea of being with her because she's perfect but not perfect for me."
"Well you changed for her, didn't you?"
"It's my turn to ask."
"Fine. Go ahead."
"How do you feel about Apollo?"
"You really can't get over that one. Apollo then Aether and now me. How do I feel about him? Well, he's been part of my life, the guy that I really loved. But what happened that night made think if my love was enough. It wasn't. He could've been killed because of me. Your question suddenly really makes me think. Do I still love him? I've never been in a relationship with a guy after I broke up with him. I am afraid the one I will love will die because of me. Maybe also I was afraid I still love him up until now. Does that answer your question?"
Caleb suddenly kisses me. I immediately moved back.
"I'm sorry." Caleb said.
"No. Just forget it happened. I think it's time for me to go back to my room. I had enough alcohol already." I said and walked back to my room.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Athena.." Caleb said.
I continued opening my room.
"Sophie!"
I turned around.
"What?"
He suddenly hugs me tight.
"Actions speak louder than words."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day I woke up early.
Actions do speak louder than words. Caleb and I, we slept together. But not the 'slept together' most people would think. We just laid in bed. We just talked all night until we fell asleep. I don't know what had gotten into to me to let it happen but I liked it. But I know things will change when we go back to Manila. We'll go our separate ways already.
"Goodbye." I whispered to Caleb's ears.
I left a plane ticket and a note before I left.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Athena.." Caleb said.
He sees that Athena was no longer beside him. He just sees a note on top of a plane ticket.
Thank you. - Athena
Meanwhile,
Athena left a note for Skull and all of Thomson's men.
Enjoy your breakfast.
And not a word from Skull or any of Thomson's men was ever heard again.
