Chapter 70: The Rescue Team

Extraction.

That was the movie that came to Ewan’s mind as he watched Aiden talk about Athena’s security and how her retrieval would take place.

Wasn’t this just a driver? How was he so versed in the act of warfare?

This particular thought was usurped by another; a thought that came with the image of the twins, Nathaniel and Kathleen.

The thought consisted of the twins entrusting him with the safety of their mother, when he had finally arrived at their house.

He had just been about to leave with the entire security team, when the twins had held his shirt.

’Bring mommy home...’ The girl had admonished, while the boy had dared him with a cold glance to do otherwise.

The boy was his exact replica.

The more he thought about it, the more it seemed true to him.

Sandro had kept quiet about the matter but he was sure his friend knew what was happening. His friend knew the chances of Nathaniel being his son.

If they were his children...

Ewan shook his head, shuddering all the same, at the implication that would bring.

It would explain Athena’s discomfort around him, yet he wouldn’t be happy with the deceit. He hated lies so much.

If she had been pregnant six years ago, why hadn’t she let him know?


Aiden’s steady words droned into his ears again. So, he decided to listen to the driver talk, and think about Athena when she was safe, and think about the children when he had the DNA tests in his hand.

Standing between Zane and Sandro, he folded his arms across his chest, and watched Aiden point at a drawing on the light wood which had been used as a makeshift board.
