Chapter 21

Beep...

Somewhere at the edge of hearing.

Beep...

It was accompanied by a faint whirring, both of them oddly clinical sounds.

Beep...

Beyond them there was a hush so pronounced that you could actually hear it, as if the silence itself was a noise.

Beep...

I was lying down.

Beep...

That seemed to be all I was aware of for the moment, which was a little disconcerting.

Beep...

As the beeping and whirring continued at its own steady, relentless pace, I tried to piece my mind and my life back together one fact at a time, building a composite picture of who I was, where I was and how the hell I had gotten here.

My name was Cat Cain. I was twenty-seven years old. I had a foster brother named Remi. My mom was in a home for the mentally ill and had been there for the last fifteen years. I made my living, alongside Remi, as a grifter and I was very good at it. I was unmarried.

And, oh yeah, my father was Dolos, the ancient Greek god of trickery and deception who had abandoned my mother before I was born and who had now volunteered me for a mission to save humanity from the wrath of some of his fellow gods, by completing a series of tasks laid down by Zeus. I was assisted in this venture by Dolos's minions, Alexei, Nico and Christoph, who were all “human effigies” built by Dolos himself. Annnnd I had slept with two of them and flirted with the third.

Two things struck me at once about this rough appraisal of my life. To start with, the first part seemed a whole hell of a lot more believable than the second. Secondly, none of it gave any real clue as to where I was now or what I was doing wherever “here” turned out to be. Unless, of course, I had joined my mother in a hospital for the mentally ill and the memories of my divine ancestry were just a manifestation of that illness.

That seemed like the most reasonable possibility. And yet, of all the things I was sure of - which were few in number right at that point - the figures of Alexei, Nico and Christoph loomed with a granite certainty. I was sure they existed. I was sure my father was the god Dolos. I was sure I was supposed to be saving mankind.

Which was a shame because I didn't seem to be doing a very good job of it at the moment.

I took a deep breath and instantly regretted it as a sharp pain flared up somewhere about my rib cage. The pain, in turn, triggered a memory.

For the love of fuck, I’d been stabbed.

That was right. I had stormed out of the apartment belonging to my father, where I and my three male companions had been staying, after learning that they had been responsible - albeit inadvertently - for driving my mother mad. I had left without any real idea of where I was going but knowing that I could not stay there with them.
