Athena looked at her watch as she waits for the green light.

3AM

She feels sleepy but she doesn't have any choice but to move now before it's too late.

She hit the gas as soon as the light turned green. 

With only one thing in her mind.

The shadow of the figure kept walking fast that turn into running. Jake followed the shadow. He's not sure but he knew and felt that this was the break he's been waiting for. For some reason- he knew that the owner of this shadow he  is following is that of  Nemesis.

Hood over the head, without enough lighting - Jake can't see the face....

"Turn around slowly.....I am not going to shoot..."

The glint of a knife  swiftly being thrown like a lightning....

Towards Jake's heart....

And then- there was the light shining on the figure's face....
