10. Sugar and Starts

"So you keep me, inside the pocket of your ripped jeans. Holding me close until our eyes meet, you won't ever be alone"

Athena's PoV

I woke up early the next day. I went out and saw that Jack was monitoring. He looked at me and smiled.

"Sit," he said pointing at the spot beside him. "I am sorry," he said in a low voice.

"Athena, we know what you are capable of and none of us question that. We are just worried. If anything goes wrong in there, none of us will be there to protect you." he says with furrowed brows.

"Jack, that's where you are wrong. I don't need you all to protect me. I can protect myself. Please. Just trust me on this one. We will take down those morons." I say.

"Why are you guys awake so early?" Hunt says coming from his room.

"It's almost 7. And I was just about to tell her" Jack says and Hunt stiffens. "You were, without me?" Hunt says in a hurt tone. "Tell me what?" I asked them.

"Athena, we agreed that you can go in there. But not alone" Jack said. I was so happy listening that I can go that I didn't even care if I went alone or no. I hugged Jack so tight.

"So, when are Hunt and I leaving?" I asked excitedly. It has to be Hunt, who else will come with me. "Sadly I am not coming with you darling" Hunt says dramatically.

"What? Jack can't come. Everyone will know him. It has to be you" I tell them. Then the thought hits me.

"No! Noah?" I ask them surprised. "Guys, he won't come with me. He has a lot of other things to handle out here."

"He himself said that he would be going with you," Jack says and Hunter nods. He did? I am amazed. The cold, distant, and not to mention boring Noah Knight agreed to risk his life and come with me.

"But why would he do that?" I asked. "Look's like Mr.Knight has a soft spot" Hunt winks at me and I rolled my eyes any more, I'd probably see my brain.

"So the plan is Noah and you go in. Get us information. It won't be for long since we already have some info on them. We just need a few codes and placements. Then we attack and kick-ass" Jack explains and I nod. This is gonna be fun.

Its evening and I haven't spoken to Noah yet. He didn't come out of his room yet. He doesn't eat like a normal human, which is very weird considering that he is fit.

Today was my turn to monitor. I bought my coffee and sat on the couch looking at the big screen in front of me.

As much as I am excited about going down there, I am very nervous. I know all about Carter's torture techniques. If we get caught, it's over for both of us. We only have one chance, and messing it up is not an option.

I hear the fridge close and that bought me out of the thoughts. It was Noah heating up his food.

"Someone's hungry at last" I state. He ignores me. He does that a lot. He is always in deep thought. "I can give you company for your meal Mr.Knight," I say again patting the spot beside me on the couch. He gets his food and sits across me on the chair. I roll my eyes.

I watch him eat his pasta. He has sharp features which are really hard to miss. His jaw is sharp, brown eyes, black hair, and his face is probably as symmetrical as possible.

"I know I am highly attractive sugar, but you were supposed to monitor the screen," He says looking at me. Did I ever mention that he loves himself, cause he does?

I decided to ignore what he said, "So, you nervous about the whole going undercover thing?" I asked and immediately regretted it. Why would he be nervous stupid! He is the leader of one of the biggest gang!
