Chapter 400: Hospital Mole

"What’s going on, Athena? What are we doing here?"

The dirty space behind the large broken dusty cupboard where they were currently crouching, hiding, was very uncomfortable for Ewan, but it was Athena, and so it was okay.

However, he needed to know what he was risking his health for. His voice was hushed, though his eyes were sharp with curiosity.

"Why are we hiding?" he continued the barrage of questions gently, shifting against the cramped space, noting the sweat that had overtaken him too.

There was no ventilation where they were, and he knew he would get dizzy, his legs getting cramped, if they didn’t get out of this space soon.

Athena’s response was to place a finger against her lips, signaling for silence, her gaze on the entrance firm. But Ewan refused to be silenced.

"You have to tell me, Athena. I came here because of your text. What did you see in the tunnel? Who is coming?" He pressed on, his whisper edged with insistence, the emotion he had seen on her face in the tunnel enough to keep pushing.

He rarely saw Athena panic, and seeing that happen before his eyes had made him panic, restless before she had dived into his arms like she had been running from something.

"Athena..." He placed a hand on her shoulder, causing her to look at him fully for the first time since they went into hiding.

"What’s going on..." he muttered, his thumb brushing away the sweat beading on her brows.

"We are waiting for the hospital mole. Whoever the person is will be meeting the twins at the secret lab."
