Chapter 199: Game Changer

"So, dear friend, what did you find out?" Athena asked Old Mr. Thorne as they settled onto the sofas in the family discussion room.

With them were Florence and Aiden, as Gianna and the twins had gone to sleep already. Old Mr. Thorne exchanged glances with Aiden before speaking.

"I think there is more to these gang attacks than meets the eye. It is highly likely that their backer is from the government. As a matter of fact, it’s a surety."

Athena shrugged her shoulders. "That isn’t anything new to me. Of course, the person who would want my research is most likely from the government. It’s why my director at my second place of work talked about ass-kissing and bootlicking..."

Aiden chuckled, breaking Athena’s mid-sentence. She turned to him, laughing as well. Old Mr. Thorne and his wife exchanged confused glances.

"Is there something funny that I’m missing out on?" He asked, darting a side glance at Florence.

"Not at all. Just an old memory." Athena replied, before returning to the topic at hand. "But as I was saying, that is obvious. Yet we owe it to the people to find out who the person is, understand their motive, and then stop this madness once and for all."

Florence nodded in support.

"So, was there anything else discovered during this period of crisis?" Athena questioned, looking between Aiden and Old Mr. Thorne.

"Well, we started with that preamble because the gang covered their tracks well enough in the hospital. We couldn’t get anything from the cameras; they had all been stomped dark. There were no visuals, nothing at all to prove that some male nurses had attacked the patients. We checked out the hospital staff, and none seemed suspicious; neither did they know of any command to push the patients into one room. To be honest..." Aiden paused, a furrow marring his forehead. "The gang is quite smart."
