Chapter 14: ATH-

Olivia's POV:

"I cracked it while you were having your little siblings bonding time Oli!"

Bonding time? How dare he!! Okay calm down 001. He has the answer doesn't he?

"So what does it say?"

"So look.. it goes like this..."

"Chase away the fears fools seek to find the deepest secret of the night lights."

"6.....

1,2.. 1

2,3.. 5

1,2.. 6

1,2.. 7

1,2.. 8

3,4,5.. 14."

"It says..

Ch-oo-se to fi-ght."

"So it basically says.. choose to fight?" What's the point of saying that when we don't know what to fight?" I said, as my mind pondered over the words again and again.

"Yeah that's what I was thinking too.. choose to fight what?"

I felt like I was losing my mind over this shit clue and this shit mess we were in. This was all ridiculous and this would be amazing if it ended up to be just a dream. I can only wish and hope that wish comes true..

We kept both Suga and Raejun on the line when we were talking. Even though I didn't trust Raejun fully as yet, the fact that she's just a kid who's hurt and trying to take that feeling from her heart by seeking revenge makes me think about myself. Somehow, it still nestles in my heart that she's my blood even though she's the blood relation who tried to kill me.

"Guys tell me too." I heard a voice over the line, or in particular, Raejun's. As soon as she said that, Jison boiled up.

"Rae!! Don't open your mouth here!!! Think I just forgot all about the stunt you pulled?"

I swear, never in my 12 years of life with this guy, have I seen him so riled up. And people, when you see Jison this angry, it's better you stay at a mile's istance away from him.

"But you knew what I wanted Jison. You knew I was after her. Then why didn't you stop me? Why didn't you just let me die that day in that alley?" She yelled right back at him, putting me to think, what alley? He saved her life? This is weird. If Jison knew that my step-sister was out to kill me, why did he keep her around? And to top it all, why didn't he tell me?

I just stared at Jison, and he looked like he was out of words. Couldn't I even trust him anymore? Why would he keep someone who wanted to kill me, alive and that too around him?

"Oli.. look. I know what you're thinking. I'll tell you one thing. I kept her around because she was your sister. And even though she wanted to kill you, I knew that wouldn't happen."

"How did you know she wouldn't kill me? What if she had pulled the trigger? Suga would have been the one to die!!!!!" I yelled, but I put my hand over the speaker of his phone so that they won't hear a word of what we're speaking.

"Look Oli! If she was dangerous to you, I wouldn't have kept her around me.."

"BUT YOU DID!! YOU DID!!! How would you explain that?"

"She's 15 for God's sake!! She couldn't harm you!!!" Jison sighed as he said this.

"Look.. let's just deal with all this later okay? We should just try to get you out of this body first."

"Yeah. With a clue that doesn't make any shit sense. How great!!" I said with a sarcastic voice, as I took my hand off the speaker, to wave it above my head.

"Look Oli.."

"No no. You look Jison!! You look!!! You are my friend okay? I believe you. I still do. But the agency doesn't promote 'being friends'. And I don't even have a partner for cases."

I paused for a long breath and stared deep into Jison's eyes.

"And at the end of the day, if we abide by the rules of the agency, we are no more than just co-workers. And at the end of the day, I'm the one with the two zeroes before my agent number."

"You know what that means right Jison?" "Tell me what it means. Tell me what the two zeroes denote."

"It denotes that you have the absolute authority to maul or kill a person without prior permission."

As Jison said this, he looked so broke. I know it must have hurt him. Of course it would hurt him, especially when the girl by his side 24/7/365 of his past 12 years of shithole life says that.

"Do you understand?"

"I do Athena." He said, looking to the floor, when I heard three gasps. And three resounding voices saying 'Athena'? In unison.

"JISON!!"

"I'm sorry!! I just keep messing things today.. sigh."

"What did he mean by 'Athena'?" I heard Suga's voice over the phone.

"It's okay.. guys. And sister, my name isn't actually Olivia. I have a lot of alibis actually. Olivia is the one that stuck to me the most."

"My name is Athena. Just Athena. No Hardens, no second name. I erased my second name."

"Athena? Your name is Athena? But it wasn't even in the files?" Raejun piped up.

"Yes. It wasn't in the files because I erased it there too.. only I and this idiot here know that."

"Are you sure that's your name?" I heard another voice. This time, I turned around to see Joon.

"Yes Joon. My name is Athena. But please.. just call me 001 or Olivia. Don't use Athena!!"

"Well.. too bad. It's a lovely name." He said, without batting an eyelid. I didn't think he'd act this positively.

There is a whole history behind this name. A history, I would not like to dig right now. Maybe later.

"Did you decipher it?" Joon asked me.

"Yeah Joon. Jison deciphered it, but it doesn't exactly make much sense."

"It doesn't make any sense at all." Said Suga from the other end of the line. On hearing this, Jison bit his tongue. Oops. Looks like Suga got caught with his secret English knowledge.

"You think I don't know Jison? Ha!! I knew that Hyung could speak in English fluently." "But I would rather translate Everything myself. So that I can censor some stupid shit these guys say. Suga hyung is too honest."

"You knew Joon?" Suga questioned him.

"Always."

"Ooooooooh.. this sounds like a Harry Potter reference." Raejun suddenly piped in, with an excited voice. Sigh.. when he told me she was just a kid, he wasn't lying was he? Huh? Good timing to bring that in Raejun.

"Okay now. Lemme see the deciphered answer." Joon said, as he extended his hand out to Jison, asking for the paper in his hands.

"Here you go Joon hyung. Let's see if this makes any sense at all to you." He said, sighing all along.

I thought Joon missed a lot that happened here, but he didn't even ask me about anything. He just knew everything? Do these CCTV cameras have speakers too?

He was probably watching wasn't he?

This is some creepy shit man.

"Jison.. this seems like the work of someone I know." Joon said, and Jison rushed towards him.

"Who? Who is it Joon?"

Jison asked him, and seemed excited, but Joon did not directly reply to Jison.

"Athe.. I mean Olivia!! Do you know how to filter out someone using a database?"

He asked me first, without replying to Jison.

Before I could reply, Jison piped in. "Of course. That's basic training at the agency. Unless you're too held up at muscles, you would know that." Jison said, looking at me, as if I was just brawns and no brains. I'll show you. Just you wait you lil..

"Yes I can. Joon. And as he said, that is basic training at the agency. Even a baby can do that. What do you want me to do?"

"Don't give the job to her Joon hyung. Let ME do it!!" Jison piped in, and Joon just glared at him.

"Jison. I want you to wait here and entertain Suga and Jimin while I show Olivia the place."

"Entertain? Entertain? Seriously? Do I look like one of you guys? You are the entertainers by day!!" He yelled, as his huge bubble was burst by Joon. I held in a laughter at his outburst.

"Or better work Jison. Go debug that software you were talking about.." as soon as Joon said that, Jison air pumped his hand and ran towards the main area, but yes, not before sticking his tongue out to me.

I just rolled my eyes and ignored his childish act and walked behind Joon. Meanwhile, I could hear Jimin probably gushing over Suga.

As I walked through the corridor, I saw my own shadow and got confused. Yeah. Because it wasn't my own shadow, but the shadow of the guy's body I was in.

Joon led me into a wide room, with dimmed lights and multiple computers which were active with data files being scanned over and over again. As I looked closely, I noticed that the last hack was into the department of defense, China.

"Ignore the history of the hacks Olivia. We had to catch and terminate a mole inside the defense department. Someone on the inside paid us. But we still had to hack into the base."

"Don't worry. I'll just do my job." I said to Joon, but I really wanted to do more than that. I wanted to know more about the boys. As this thought passed through my mind, I smirked to myself.
