Chapter 403: Hospital Mole IV

And they would really do it. Athena knew this—knew the threat hadn’t just been an empty one. The Demon Vipers were anything but a gang that dealt in empty threats.

"So, in what way did they need your cooperation?" she asked, her gaze steady as she watched Ewan hand Ciara a handkerchief.

Did he carry handkerchiefs everywhere he went? How many had he given away since this gentlemanly charade started? She didn’t remember him with any during their cold marriage.

"They want information on the hospital, schedule and all that. Mostly yours, and your patients. And the tests you run in your private lab in the hospital. Basically, all about you."

Athena nodded slowly, uncrossing and crossing her legs again.

"And you have been doing that?"

Ciara nodded. "I knew they had someone else in the hospital... I didn’t know who, or the rank the person occupied, so I didn’t want to take chances."

"And how would you know that?" Ewan questioned, folding his arms across his chest.

Ciara shrugged. "The little girl, Cairo. She is Mary’s daughter. So, when my boss was looking for her and everyone kept denying seeing the girl, I knew that someone had taken her away—someone in the hospital. But the first pointer was the way the caller read out my information. It was exactly the same, in the same progression as the contents of my files, including things I wrote as a hobby. It was creepy then."

So, there was another mole. Athena mused, reclining into her seat, turning side to side, her mind racing. Moles, maybe. How many? How many of the nurses were being threatened? Were there any working with the gang willingly?

She glanced at Ewan furtively. They really needed to be careful.
