After the phone call went through, it was immediately answered, "Who is this?"
It was Mike's voice, sounding very anxious.
"It's me. Where's Byron?" Athena's voice was shaking badly.
"Chelsea! Are you okay? Where are you? I'll send someone to get you now!" Mike sounded relieved to hear from her.
"Where's Byron?" Athena sounded more impatient than she'd ever been.
"Mr. Crawford tracked your phone signal and went to the last location it appeared. He left two hours ago with some people. Didn't you run into him?" Mike sounded confused.
Athena felt as if her blood had frozen.
"What about Aiden and Mia?" she asked.
"Miss Mia Newton and Mr. Aiden Newton are fine, don't worry," Mike reassured her.
"One of the two assassins is after Aiden and Mia. Mike, you have to protect them." Athena's voice broke. "No matter what rumors you hear about me and Byron, don't withdraw any of Lakin's security. If you see anyone suspicious, it's better to have wrong kills than to let one person go. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" Mike's reply was firm. "Where are you? I'll send someone to pick you up."
"No need. Send me the address that you found, the one where Byron went to look for me."
"Chelsea..." Mike seemed to sense something was wrong.
"Just send it to me." Athena was resolute.
Mike complied, and moments later, Athena felt her phone vibrate twice.
Athena lowered her eyes and held her phone tightly. "Mike, if I don't come back tonight, take care of Aiden and Mia. And also Rose."
Before Mike could respond, Athena hung up the phone.
She looked up and met the eyes of Annie, who had just gotten out of the car.
"Are you going to find Byron?" Annie asked, startled.
"Sir, may I borrow your phone? Someone will bring you a new one later." After speaking, Athena made sure that Hensley had been taken off the car. She got in, turned around without hesitation, and drove off into the night.
