She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 4

Matthew spoke with quiet authority. "I caught a glimpse inside her car. Everything's top-of-the-line, and she might even have Skywrought-a rare material I've been hunting down for years." Louis's eyes widened with disbelief. It would be remarkable if Athena genuinely possessed such a valuable resource and used it in an ordinary car. Matthew continued. "She's also done a serious upgrade to the engine and tires. Her car's performance could easily match that of a luxury sports car"

Matthew, still cool and detached, instructed, "We'll keep a close watch on her tonight and pick up the trail tomorrow." Louis was more intrigued by Athena than ever and answered with newfound energy, "Got it, Mr. Graham." They then settled in for the night in their SUV.
