Chapter 398: Tunnel

Everything has returned to normal. Athena thought, taking cognizance of the state of the hospital affairs when she stepped into the hospital.

She had only come in to pick up some papers from her office, and inform the doctors working with her, her secretary included, of her pending absence from work from henceforth, in case Herbert got too busy to deliver the message as when due.

As she moved to her office, she had watched closely, scanning faces and corners, checking out any suspicious activities, any lingering eyes, any secretive movement, but there had been none. The hospital was just the hospital. Nothing much. Nothing less.

An incoming fellow for the day wouldn’t know or decipher that there had been a case that transpired here yesterday, unless they watched the news.

When she got to her office, Ciara was already in.

"Good morning, ma."

"Good morning, Ciara. How are you doing? How was your night?" Athena asked, offering a faint smile as she stepped into the room.

"It was fine, thank you, ma. Mr. Herbert informed the staff that you wouldn’t be around today, or any day from henceforth, until a cure for the new virus is found?"

It was then that Athena noticed the worry lines creasing her secretary’s face. Whether it was from fear of this variant, or worry about her, or even both, she didn’t know, but she nodded, grateful that Herbert had done the talking this once.

"Yes, he is right. Someone has to deal with the virus, and who better than someone who had dealt with it before."

Ciara nodded, albeit dejectedly, her fingers fiddling with a pen on her desk. "We are grateful for what you are doing, ma, thank you."

"Thank you too, Ciara, for keeping the fort. I will be back soon enough." And then she was off to her office.

In her space, she picked the papers she had come for, looked around the familiar room with a sweep of her eyes, sighed softly, and stalked off.

"See you when I see you, Ciara." She called out, when her secretary wished her a good day and better days ahead.

When Athena came downstairs, just when she was about to leave the hospital, she felt the inclination to check out the twins’ secret lab again. Folding her lips, brows furrowed, she contemplated her sudden need to see the lab.

Choosing not to overthink, after coming up with nothing, she strolled into the storage unit, giving and answering greetings alongside with faint nods.

This time, the lever was easier to find, and in less than two minutes, she was already in the lab. It was emptier than before, but then it had already been emptied by the police.

She looked at the bare tables and chairs, and the neat floor, and wondered if Herbert had sent a cleaner here. And yet again, she wondered how the twins had gotten this place.

Was their sponsor a shareholder in Herbert’s company? Was the person aware of the hospital structure, of the down floor that wasn’t open to the public? And where was the exit door?
