Chapter 386: Another Extraction V

Athena folded her lips as she read the message for the second time, then the third. What was this that Spider had planned? Something that was capable of ending his life, something that would look like suicide.

She chastised herself again for thinking that the fellow had betrayed them, when the opposite was the case. Spider was too loyal!

She felt the need to see him, to know him, to understand his way of thinking. She couldn’t let him die. Her thoughts on this matter surprised her. What was wrong with her?

"Can you see my fears now?" Ewan’s voice dragged her from her thoughts.

"He is trying to commit suicide. The twat! How dare he do this without my permission!" He whisper-yelled, his hand stretching when Athena extended the phone to him.

"We can still save him, I think. He just sent the message a few minutes ago, so it means he’s still alive."

Ewan shook his head immediately. "Didn’t you see the message at the end, the one after many tabs?"

Athena frowned. She hadn’t.

"It was a scheduled message. It had been sent a while ago, maybe while we were on the plane, before the extraction."

Athena sighed, palming her forehead. "We need to get in there now. Do you have guns?"

Ewan looked foolish under the bright fluorescent light. "I was in a hurry," he chimed when Athena cocked a brow.

"You are not alone. I’m sure the guards are still dead. We can take their guns."

Ewan chuckled at the attempt at humor, standing and following Athena as she covered the distance between the last of the vegetation and the gates.

"Still empty. What exactly did he do to empty this place of people? Did he drug them or something?"

Ewan quickly paused, looking at Athena with slightly widened eyes, the AK-47 gun poised properly in his hands. "That might be it. He must have drugged them, and he might have done it in a way that would trigger Kael’s suspicions on him. We have to find a hall that would be big enough to contain the entire members..."

"Is there something like a cafeteria here, some place to eat?" Athena asked, connecting the dots. An eating space would be best for drugging.

"I don’t know. The last time I was here, there was none. But maybe there have been a few changes. But I do know a couple of large spaces. Let’s go."
