Do I keep waiting or should I send another email? Maybe they didn't see my previous one? Athena thought while sitting on the bed, staring at her phone. Her feet made a tap dance on the floor while her left hand made the same on her lap.
It had been more than fifteen minutes since she had sent an email to the address Nathaniel had given her, but so far, there hadn't been a reply.
Were they asleep already? She wondered, looking at her phone keenly as if she could magically rouse the hackers through its screen.
Asleep, though? She didn't think so. Nighttime was the time for these people—a time without interruptions, both in network waves and physically.
They just didn't want to reply to her. She thought forlornly, wishing she could share this dilemma with her children. Yet, she didn't want to disturb them, nor did she want to inform them of the email's contents.
After waiting for five more minutes, she gave up and dropped the phone on her dresser.
