018

We heard someone's and Eros' voice on the phone where Joanna tapped in something.

"Giatí chreiázeste 3 mínes?" this is not Eros'. This voice is more deep than his.

“Den chreiázetai na xérete. Tha prochoríso sto schédio kai tha ekteléso tin prinkípissa” that's Eros.

“Den faínetai na pigaínete sýmfona me to schédio. Me vási aftá pou ésteila i Amy chthes to vrády, den eísai o synithisménos eaftós sou” I can't understand what he's saying but I heard Amy's name. We both looked at each other. It looks like we both heard right. This guy who's with Eros knows about her.

“O! nai. Aftós o katáskopos pou schedón katéstrepse ta pánta. Den chreiázomai ti voítheia kanenós. Boreíte óloi na ypochorísete kai na stamatísete na emfanízetai apó to pouthená. To paidí ypopsiázetai ídi” The language may be foreign to me but I can clearly notice the sarcasm dripping in his voice.

"If that's your choice then. We'll back off, for now. Always remember what I'm going to say now. Be careful playing with fire. You might not realize that you're the one being burned into ashes. Take care, brother" Then I heard the open and close of the car's door.

"You still think that he's innocent?" Joanna said as she tap again in her phone. I can no longer hear what happened after that.

"How did you receive what is happening in the car?"

"Didn't I told you to give him your phone? We're actually lucky that he brought it with him" I nodded. We wouldn't know this things if the phone isn't there.

"But we didn't got any clues to what he really plans"

"We actually did. I recorded the whole conversation. We just have to hire someone who knows this language"

"There are a lot of language in this world. How long is it gonna take before we knew what he meant"

"It will not. I caught a word that |I know. 'prinkipissa', it's princess in Greek. That's the only thing I understood. I'm quite amazing, you know?" then she smirked. Fine, she won. "If he said princess, then he's pertaining to you since everyone in your house treats you like one and I heard Amy's name. I didn't forgot about that part"

"Plus he was called 'brother'" she also nodded. Something is really up with Eros. It's not the first time I heard him talking to someone in a foreign language.

"It's just one of my talents. Don't ask about it"

"Okay. What will be the plan?" I asked her. In case she wants me to keep an eye on those two.

"We don't have a plan. Come what may." then she showed me her sweetest smile.

I sighed then just rested my head in our table. It created a loud noise. But I don't care anymore. I banged my head lightly on it. Until I felt Joanna's tap on my shoulder. I looked at her and said "What?"

She giggled "You gotta stop that. Nothing will happen to you. If we plan something out and it failed, then I don't know. Now, I want you to act naturally and call your dad. You need him to come home"

"I remembered that Dad knew how to speak Greek. I'm gonna call him right now. Excuse me." I ran to go outside the room and dialed my dad's number.

After a few rings he answered "Hey, sweetie. You called"

"I did. How are you, daddy?" I smiled just hearing his voice. I missed him. It sometimes took him a month in a business trip.

"You want to come home, don't you?"

"Yes. How did you know?"

"Well, you never call when you know that I'm on a business trip unless you want me to go home"

"Joanna and I kinda need something from you. It's urgent"

"I'll be home. Just give me three days to finish everything up, okay?"

"Okay. See you in three days, dad" then I hung up. Is three days okay for us to finally find out and at least be a step ahead from them?

I walked inside the classroom. Few minutes passed and the class started. I focused on the lessons and before I knew it's dismissal.

"Here" Joanna said as we were walking gave me the phone he used to hear Eros' conversation with someone. "You just have to click the phone icon and you'll here what's happening on the other end which is your phone on Eros. It will act as if you're on a call. It also has a record icon and what you recorded will be saved in the music. Another icon that is also saved in your phone"

It's a lot but I need to keep in my mind what she is telling me. "I thought we're going to have sleep over in our home?"

"We need to act naturally, right? Plus, I'll be your distance partner. Have me in your speed dial and wear your airpods. We'll move once we know the translation of their conversation" I nodded. We are in front of the car where Eros is leaning in. I looked around and saw people especially girls are looking at him. Who wouldn't be? I shook my head to come back to reality. I am looking at the person who might actually do something to me. I am not to trust this man, he told me that himself.

He opened the door to the passenger's seat instead of the back seat. I bid my good bye to Joanna and went in. He even smiled before closing it. I put my seatbelt on and waited for him to be in the driver's seat. Before he could do so I saw something on the ground. I picked it up and saw a bullet. I would know because my dad has a gun in his library. I happened to found that and looked at it. Now, looking again at one but it's different from any other bullets because it served as the pendant of the necklace. The bullet also also has letters engraved on it.

Aeneas

Is that even a word? When I heard the car's door opening, I immediately hid it in my bag and smiled at Eros. Someone was definitely here when I was at school and he left this on the floor.
