Chapter 200: Game Changer II

"Hello, Susan, I’m sorry to call you this late..." Athena began as Susan answered the call, steeling herself to address this matter once and for all. She hoped her young friend would actually decline the offer.

"Hello, Athena... Good evening..." Susan greeted, her groggy voice suggesting that Athena had woken her from a deep sleep.

Athena inhaled softly and sidestepped out of the door when Aiden gestured for them to walk into her room to continue the call. Inside, they settled into the two chairs available, adjacent to the queen-sized bed.

"I am sorry for disturbing you at this late hour, Susan..." Athena continued, placing the phone, which was already set to loudspeaker, on the center table.

"It’s okay, Athena. I know that for you to call this late, the matter must be very urgent. What is it? Do you need my help, my expertise?"

Athena couldn’t suppress the sigh that escaped her lips at the hint of excitement in Susan’s voice as she mentioned ’help’ and ’expertise.’

The thin smile on Aiden’s lips only exacerbated it. What was there to smile about? She wondered.

"Yes, I actually do. I want you to infiltrate the Devil’s Scorpion gang as a spy. Can you do it?" She said, dropping the bombshell.

Silence greeted Athena for a couple of tense seconds. She looked at Aiden, who seemed utterly confused.

Athena sighed again and shook her head, ready to tell Susan to forget she had ever asked the question, thinking her friend had been put off by the audacious request. But then Susan spoke up, breaking the tension.

"Really? Do you mean it?" The excitement in her voice was so palpable that Aiden flashed a winning smile at Athena.
