Capítulo 18: Chapter 17
- Are they all there? - Gabriel nods, reviewing for the last time the confused Sons of Dionysus. - Good…
Alesha, with an almost terrified look, hides behind Daniel while Diana hugs her arm, in a vain attempt to comfort her.
- What happened? - Sam asks without a trace of insecurity, a few moments later, his gaze realizes that someone is missing. He snorts as he goes around in circles. -What has she done now?
- That's the question,- Reveals the Director as she sets aside a mountain of carefully classified papers in colored cardboard folders. - It's not what she has done...
- It's what she hasn't done. - Gabriel clarifies while his dark gaze is fixed on the Sons of Dionysus. If they were confused before, now they are lost.
- What is happening?! - Exclaims Baek Cho, fed up with so much secrecy. All it takes is a glance from the Director for him to hide behind Daniel, Alesha shoves him off.
- I can't believe I have to turn to children for this…- Sam's frown is exhausted with annoyance.
- Children? - Before another discussion can begin, the golden-haired Son of Hades responds to the group's confusion.
- Ailey is missing.
They all turn to him. Nobody dares to mention a word, a strange atmosphere settles in the room. They don't know what to say.
- But…
-She disappeared five days ago. - The Director cuts Sam, who has returned to walk in circles. - Stop, you're making me nervous.
As soon as he stops, he fixes his furious gaze on Eleanor.
- Why did you take so long to tell us ?! - Sam seems more stressed than ever, his gaze is fixed on Lisa, who is sitting in one of the chairs in the Director's office.
-She must be dead. - She says with a mocking smile just as the door opens with a thud. A woman even more pissed off than Sam walks in briskly. Her movements are threatening.
She is followed by a Daughter of Apollo somewhat calmer.
- I want explanations right now! - The Director massages her forehead, it seems that there are situations that even exceed her. - I've had enough patience ...
She closes her mouth when she feels the sweet hand of one of her best students on her forearm. In a strange realization, he stands behind her.
- What we mean is that either you give us answers or we will go for them. - Eleanor opens her gaze as if they had just taken the stick that she always had buried in her ass. For the first time, her gaze is no longer haughty.
-Ailey disappeared under strange circumstances about five days ago, we do not know exactly ... -She points her head to the Daughter of Dionysus who seems to be the only one pleased with the disappearance of her partner. - Lisa went to investigate and infiltrated between them ... she is not there.
With a frustrated sigh, she rises from the comfortable chair at her desk, walks to stand in front of the window. She opens the curtains, letting in the light of the first rays of the morning.
Some of us are still in our pajamas.
-We have searched even under the stones, there is no trace of her, it is as if she had disappeared into thin air. - She clicks her tongue in annoyance. - We need you to confess everything she has told you, otherwise ... We won't be able to find her.
Céline takes a step back, aware of the trap she's got herself into. She sighs as she imitates Eleanor's gesture, she massages her temple as if there is no tomorrow, it is a weight on her shoulders that she can never abandon.
-Céline, Kisa… -They both observe the Headmaster's movements, her eyes pleading silently. - You're the only ones who know anything about her.
The Russian doll raises her hands in a symbol of peace.
- Don't point your finger at me, - Eleanor seems incredulous at her words. - Yes, we have screwed a couple of times, but it doesn't usually involve talking exactly.
With an exasperation unbecoming to the image that her minds had formed of that woman with the tired eyes and tangled hair from so much running her hands over him, the Sons of Dionysus spoke about everything they had seen and lived with Ailey.
- I'm not going to say anything. - Céline admits stubbornly.
- You would let her die just because you don't want to tell us what happened on that mission. - Gabriel's words sound questionable, however, they are more of a statement full of sarcasm.
Céline clenches her hands into fists.
- You know much more than that ... - The Director's whisper leaves the thirst for curiosity of everyone present breathless. Despite not being an intuitive person, Eleanor had not come to her post because of a pretty face.
- I can't…- Something tugged at Céline's right sleeve. Alesha's wet, pleading eyes told her that if something happened to Ailey, she was going to blame her, haunt her until her mind stopped haunting her. With a sigh, she sits in the free chair, sinking her hands into the armrests as she gazes at the floor. - On the mission ...
