Chapter 370: Killing The Hostages

Princess Amaya raised her slender wrist and, with a quick flick, activated the holographic screen emanating from her wristwatch.

"Princess Amaya's gentle voice resonated through the van as she said, 'ExZee, please play the recording.'"

General Jones observed the playback of the engagement party with keen attention, scrutinizing the events unfolding at double speed. A frown formed on his face as he studied the captured faces of the waiters who had been caught on camera.

"ExZee, can you tap into Athena and do a match?" Leon commanded while typing something into his cellphone.

General Jones glanced at him briefly. He was no longer surprised that he knew about Athena when he saw the tattoo on his wrist. 

"I am sorry. Voice not recognized. Command not executed." ExZee's cute cubby face appeared magnified on the holographic screen. She rejected Leon's command. Her voice was no longer robotic but sounded like a seven-year-old child's.
