Gods among us-part XXX

 At Nora's place they were waiting for Mark. Amy, Phil and Mary were sitting in the couch. James and Lilly were in the kitchen. Alex, Kevin, Kate, Tony and Sarah were sitting around the table whilst Nora was sitting in her favorite spot next to the fireplace by the window.

“You guys , we need to be prepared.” Amy said. “Our spy said that one of the Titans came to earth.”

Mary stoop up very fast.

“Really?” She said out loud.

Phil looked at her.

“What else do we know?” He asked calmly.

“Not much.” Amy said. “Just this.”

“Is daddy awake?” Phil asked again.

“Not that I know of. But mother is, and two more. I also don't know who came to earth.” Amy said and took another sip of coffee.

Nora was quiet. She was observing the people outside enjoying the sunny day.

“I tried to find the one on earth.” She said suddenly in a low voice without taking her eyes of the window.

“You did?” James asked full of curiosity.

Nora took a deep breath and stood up. She faced the others.

“Yes, I did.”

“Please don't tell me that you used your sacred animal?” Kevin asked her.

“I actually used one of my sacred animals. Unfortunately I was not able to find anything.”

“And what does this tells us?” Lilly asked.

“Either the spy is wrong or if it’s here, the human side is still active. If this is the case, I will be able to identify him or her in a couple of days where he or she will gain more power.”

“I see” Lilly commented.

“I am wondering if Mark broke up with Anna by now.” Phil said.

“I don't think so” Nora said. “The weather is still good.”

 Phill nodded.

 

At Mark’s place they had finished dinner and were talking. Anna was saying that her

parents decided to sell their house and buy a smaller now. Especially now, that all their children have their own life.

“I understand them.” JJ said. Anna nodded.

“Me too.” She said and stood up to bring the dessert.

Mark stood up immediately as well.

“Let me help you.” He said and he went with her in the kitchen.

JJ looked at Niko.

“You think he knows?” She asked him quietly.

“I don’t know.” Niko said. “He is awful quite today.”

At the same time in the kitchen Anna was taking out the bowls for the ice cream whilst Mark was looking for it in the freezer.

“Need help?” Anna asked smiling.

“No” Mark answered sharply.

Anna was surprised.

“Is everything ok?” She asked and moved a bit closer to him.

Mark found the ice cream and took it out.

“Yes.” He said in the same tone as previous. “We need to talk Anna” he continued looking at her eyes.

“OK” Anna said. “Once our visitors leave we will talk.”

Mark returned to the dining room and left Anna frowned. What's going on? She thought.
