"Is Dad already okay? How is he?" I said.
I went straight to Aunt Claudette ignoring Katharin.
"He's in a coma. We're not sure when will he wake up." Aunt Claudette said.
"Can I see him right now?"
Caleb and I then went to the ICU.
"Dad.." I said as hold Dad's hand.
Caleb then puts both of his hands on my shoulder.
"Don't worry. He's will be okay."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Due to fact that your Dad is in this condition, it is better that you take over of the agency for a while." Aunt Claudette said.
"Why me? Why not let the favorite daughter here take over?" I said.
"Athena."
"I'm sorry Aunt Claudette. I'll inform the agency about the situation."
"Thank you. Athena, I need to talk to you privately. Excuse us."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What a small world." Kate said to Caleb.
"It is."
"How did you get involve with my family?"
"It's very long story."
"Hehe. You must've heard about me and Nicholas."
"Yeah. I'm sorry. I'm sorry too for that night."
"It's okay. I understand you. And I'm sorry too about what happened when we were in high school. Actually, I regretted turning you down that day. You are the kindest guy I knew back then but I blew my chance. Can you still give me another chance?"
"Kate, I'm sorry but.."
"I was right. You are in love with my sister."
Caleb nodded.
"I understand. I was given a chance to be with a great guy and I blew it."
"Don't worry. You'll find the guy for you sooner or later."
"Thank you. I wish you and Sophie all the happiness in the world."
Kate hugs Caleb.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aunt Claudette told me what happened when I left.
"I know you're still mad at Katharin but talk to her. You need her right now as she needs you too. You're sisters. No one can ever change that." Aunt Claudette said.
I just kept quiet. I then went to check again on Dad.
"You may want to go home already. I know you're already tired and you still have a class tomorrow." I said to Caleb as I saw he was behind me.
"No. It's okay. I'll stay. I want to be here beside you. I know you always put up a strong face but I know deep inside you are hurting." Caleb said.
He then hugs me tight from behind.
"Just remember I'm always here beside you."
"I will."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day I told everyone in the agency about what happened to Dad.
"I would like to get the attention of everyone. I am here in front of you as a fellow agent and as a daughter. I would like to inform you about a sad incident that happened. Agent Zeus, you may notice he didn't go to work yesterday. The reason behind that is he had a heart attack yesterday morning and has been in the ICU ever since. We don't know when will he wake up but the doctors said he's stable already. I'd be taking over his position temporarily. And yes, it is true that I, Agent Athena is Zeus' eldest daughter. I didn't want anyone to know about it because I don't want you to think that I get favors and reached where I am today because the head of this agency is my father. Anyways, my cases would be handled by agents Aphaea and Hecaterus for the mean time. If you need anything I would just be in Agent Zeus office. Also Aphaea and Hecaterus, I would like to talk to you two. You may know continue what you are doing." I said.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ma'am, you called for us?" Aphaea said as she and Hecaterus went inside the office.
Aphaea and Hecaterus bowed out of respect.
"Have a seat. I called you two here because as I said you two, Aphaea and Hecaterus are taking over my cases."
"Ma'am, may I ask why you chose us?" Hecaterus said.
"It doesn't seem obvious but senior agents like me have the greatest amount of cases. You may ask Hermes about that because he gives the cases to agents. So I turn to you the novice agents. There are a lot of novice agents but why you? According to the record Hermes gave me, you two have the greatest performance among the novice agents. And I heard that you two are like a combo. You need to have both novice agents to get great results. Agent Hecaterus, does that answer you question?"
"Yes Ma'am."
"Anyways to proceed, Hermes would brief you on the cases I handle and give you more information about field cases. You'll have simulation training before you deal with my cases. I believe in you guys and I hope you will be able to deal with my cases well. And if you do deal with my cases well then I would grant you two the privilege of being senior agents. Any more question? Violent reaction?"
"No Ma'am. It would be an honor to deal with your cases. We will assure you that we will do our very best." Aphaea said.
"I'll take your word for that Agent Aphaea. You may now proceed with your training. Hermes would brief you in a while. You two may leave."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Athena.."
It was Apollo.
"Apollo, is there something wrong? Have a seat." I said.
"I just want to ask if I can take a leave for about 3 weeks? I already got a replacement and she'd be coming later. I'd be training her for a week. I'm planning to leave next week."
"Where are you going?"
"To Prague."
"Our favorite."
"I know. I just realized that I'm kind of a masochist even though it will hurt I want to relive the memories once again and go back to our favorite city. But after the trip, I want to go back here and be a whole new person, a person who has already moved on and is ready to fall in love again."
I stood up and hugged Apollo.
"You can take the leave. I wish you the best Apollo. I'm really sorry that I can't be with you anymore. What we have and what happened before, I will treasure it because even though we are no longer together you've been a part of my life. You're my first love remember? I wish you find yourself in Prague and find the person that will you love because you are one great guy."
I kissed him on the cheeks.
"Thank you for the 4 years that we've been together."
