Chapter 311: Finding Morgan
"If Ethan were here, he would be in the best position to scout this environment," Athena stated with a sigh, as her eyes surveyed their surroundings from the back seat of the black-tinted Mercedes.
Beside her was Ewan, and in front of them were two agents—one driving and the other scouting the area like them. The two would serve as a bridge to the other agents waiting at the other end of the street to sweep in when the signal was given.
At this rate, Athena wondered if there would be any sign given at all by her and Ewan considering the sterile environment. There was no one in the streets; it was as if everyone had run away because of some matter. Even the small restaurant where their car was parked beside was void of life.
Athena would have been happy, considering that it meant easier passage into the house, but this was not a relatively family-friendly street filled with peace, joy, and laughter. No, from the reports Spider had submitted to Ewan and from the few things she could gather herself, this was a neighborhood driven by gangs and other criminal elements.
No way was this normal. Something was at play.
The creepy feeling was back again. Could this be another of Morgan’s traps? It most likely was.
"When you mention that Ethan would be the better scout in this situation, what do you mean?" Ewan asked, taking his eyes from the window to focus on Athena, not pleased that she used the adjective "better" for a man who wasn’t him.
Athena shrugged in response. "He is very good with stealth. Probably like Zane... that’s why his codename was Phantom, right?"
Ewan nodded slowly.
"I was right then. Well, Ethan is also skilled at scaling buildings. How else do you think I was able to get my hands on Fiona’s phone during the court case?"
Ewan raised an eyebrow in response; nothing fazed him anymore about Athena. She had a lot in her arsenal—a range of tools and agents, many loyal people. And Ethan was one of them.
Ethan Patterson, who had won Businessman of the Year twice in a row... Ewan shook his head. To think that even then, the latter had been operating Athena’s companies.
