Athena heaved in and out repeatedly, watching the wall through which Morgan had just disappeared, wondering if any of her shots had hit the mark. It had to.
"Did you get him?"
She didn't turn when she heard Ewan's question as he came to stand beside her, nor did she give a firm answer to his inquiry. Instead, she asked, "How did you know there was a secret room behind the wall?"
Athena had been trying to balance on her heels while aiming for the perfect shot as she watched Morgan stick to the wall like glue. If she had been perceptive enough about his intentions, she would have just shot him. There was no way he would have survived it.
But to be honest, she hadn't wanted to kill him then. She had just wanted to incapacitate him so that he would be ripe for questioning. Somuchforthatnow.
"His movements on the wall had been suspicious. I just figured, since this whole place was wrapped in secret doors, that must be it."
