I asked, leaning back against the bathroom counter.
    “Yes, you’re doing excellent so far, Kane. You’re living up to our deal.” Athena took a step towards me. “I just wanted to let you know that you need to be careful,” she said.
    “Careful?” I asked, raising an eyebrow. “About what?”
    “Careful that you don’t lose sight of what I want you to do. You’re constantly worrying about Samantha, I need you to not worry so much about her. Don’t let her get in the way of doing what I ask of you.”
    I didn’t like what Athena was saying. She wanted me to not worry about my best friend that was missing? What kind of request was that? “I’m sorry,” I said. “I want to do what you’re asking of me. I want to live up to the deal that we made. But I can’t just not worry about my friend.”
    Athena smiled. “That’s one of the things I love about you, Kane. The care and compassion you show for your friends is astounding. But don’t be too trusting. After all, if you put all your trust in someone, they’re bound to let you down.”
    “What’s that supposed to mean?” I asked.
    Athena smirked. “Just be careful, Kane. Stay on guard, even when you’re amongst friends. You never know when there’s a wolf amongst you.”
    I shook my head. “Was your goal in coming here to confuse me? Because you’re not making a lot of sense right now.”
    Athena’s form flickered, and I thought I heard someone calling my name. “I think I hear someone calling for me, I should go see who it is.”
    “Yes, I must be going as well. My energy is waning. I can’t keep this form up for much longer.”
    I was about to walk away, when something came to mind. “Oh, before you go,” I said, stopping Athena. “Who was it that took control of me the other night? Right after you got taken away, I saw a man with green eyes, and when I woke up mine were glowing white and I had no control over my body.”
    Athena’s gaze went cold. “Do not fret, Kane. I am taking care of that situation as we speak. You just worry about getting rid of Jigsaw and his gang. Once that’s complete, I will tell you exactly what you need to do in order to repay your debts.”
    With that, Athena disappeared, and I was left alone in my bathroom. I shook my head and scoffed with frustration. What was the point in Athena even appearing? All she did was talk nonsense for a few minutes, tell me I shouldn’t care so much about Samantha, then only leave two seconds for me to ask about what the hell even happened a couple nights ago.
    I walked out of the bathroom and to the front door, opening it up to see who was calling my name earlier. I saw Selena walking away, and called out to her. “Hey, were you calling for me?” I asked.
    Selena turned around and shook her head. “No, I was walking to try and find something to eat.”
    “Oh, I’ll come with you,” I said as I walked out of my room, locking the door behind me. Selena stood there and waited for me to jog to her side.
    We walked down the hallway, neither one of us speaking. We really didn’t have the chance to in the past couple of days, even when we flew from London to Texas and back to get our luggage. I just couldn’t find the right place to start.
    We turned left down another hallway. This was a short one that led to a large open area where people were sitting at various booths and tables, looking at papers or chatting to one another over a cup of coffee.
    “Looks like there’s a cafe over there,” I said, pointing to a small coffee shop and cafe that had a small line leading from the cash register. We walked over and stood in line, waiting for our turn to order.
    “This feels so weird,” she said, breaking the silence.
    “What does?” I asked.
    “ This ,” she said, gesturing in front of her. “A line. Standing in it. Trying to decide what food I want to order. It feels so…normal.”
    I hadn’t thought about it, but now that she mentioned, a strange feeling washed over
