Athena knew she had to be prepared for anything. After thinking it over, she called Harriet and asked, "Hey, are you free tonight?" "Yeah, I am. Why? Are you treating me to dinner?" Harriet perked up immediately. "I just found this new place that serves amazing homestyle food. Let's go try it!" Athena quickly cut her off. "Actually, I'm eating somewhere else tonight. It's kind of awkward. Can you come with me?" Harriet frowned. "What kind of place has you so tense?" Then, loyal as ever, she said, "Alright, I'll go with you." With someone coming along, Athena felt much better. She figured there was nothing to worry about anymore. Just as she was about to hang up and text Zaden to say she wouldn't be home for dinner, Harriet suddenly blurted out, "Wait—where are we even going?" "Uh ... " Athena looked a bit awkward. "To Zaden's house." "What? Didn't you move back there already? It's been a while, right? His house isn't some kind of monster cave. Why are you acting so nervous?" Athena sighed and rubbed her forehead. "It's at Mrs. Storm's house." Harriet went silent for a long time, clearly stunned. It took her a few seconds to react, then she blurted out, "Wait, what did you just say? You? Having dinner at Mrs. Storm's place? Seriously?" "You heard me right." Athena still found it unbelievable herself. She had no idea how it happened. One moment she was treating Beverly at work, and the next, she was somehow invited to dinner. "Wait, you're not going there willingly, are you?""Of course not!" Athena rolled her eyes. "I'm not that self-destructive. She came to me for a checkup today and then suddenly invited me to dinner. I didn't even get a chance to say no—she just left." Harriet was speechless. This was insane. After hanging up, Athena called Zaden to tell him she wouldn't be home for dinner because she was going to Beverly's place. Zaden was worried at first, but once he learned Harriet would be there too, he calmed down. "If anything happens, call me. I'll pick you up at nine." "Got it," Athena said. She wasn't nearly as anxious as he was. For some reason, after meeting Beverly earlier, she had a feeling the woman wasn't being malicious this time. It didn't seem like a setup. After sorting everything out, Athena sat and waited for Harriet to arrive. They'd agreed to meet at the hospital. While waiting, she organized her files. Glancing over Beverly's medical report again, she noticed her condition wasn't serious—just uncomfortable and treatable. Then a thought struck her. Since Beverly's records were in the hospital system, there should also be records for Zaden and Teri. She'd been wanting to verify Teri's connection to Maya. If she could review the reports, maybe she'd notice something. Athena opened the hospital database and searched for Zaden's name. She quickly found his file. Just routine checkups. He was in perfect health—no smoking, no drinking, nothing unusual. Teri's record showed mild psychological trauma but good physical health.Athena was about to close the files when something made her stop. She frowned and looked closer. Zaden's blood type didn't match Teri's. Beverly and Zaden shared the same type, but Teri's didn't match his. Athena remembered checking Teri's file before when she was hurt—she knew her blood type. She hadn't expected to stumble upon something like this by accident. So Teri's blood type matched Maya's instead? Maya hadn't appeared recently, so Athena hadn't had a chance to collect her DNA sample. She'd have to find an opportunity soon. ... A while later, Harriet arrived at the hospital. She parked in the lot and called Athena to come down. Athena quickly closed the files, packed her things, and headed to the parking lot. When she opened the car door and got in, Harriet glanced over at her curiously.
