"Athena, please! I'm not even sure that Jenna is really the person who she is now. I need your help!" Zoe yelled over the phone.
Athena knew that Zoe was serious. She didn't speak in such tones like this very often. "Okay, let me grab some stuff. I'll be over soon."
"Thanks, Athena," Zoe said. And then she hung up.
"See?" Athena said, turning towards the dark-cloaked figure sitting across from her. "I had nothing to do with that. Someone has the Jewel of Cusco. He's the person you should be looking for."
The cloaked figure said nothing.
"His name is Steve Farber. The artifact has the ability to grant ..."
"I know what it does," the figure whispered.
"Then you know how powerful and dangerous it is. I know Steve. He's a womanizer and a jerk. Is this the person you want in control of such power?"
The figure stood up. Athena just sat there and waited. She didn't want to make a move. That might be construed as a hostile move. And she really really did not want to piss this guy off. No one in her coven would.
"I'll be back," the figure whispered. Then he left the room.
Athena sighed with relief.
