CHAPTER 22

When Hades and Thanatos finally made it to the front porch of Miguel's friend, it was already half past noon. It was just a modest apartment that was found right next to Apex's primary thoroughfare. The location seemed to be convenient given that it is only a few short blocks away from the city's commercial district.

Thanatos rang the doorbell nearly three times before he decided to knock on the door. It appeared that the doorbell was broken. After a moment of short silence, he tried to make a few more knocks before a young boy opened the door to the apartment.

“Charlie, why did you open the door!” A woman called out to the young boy. She ran hastily toward the door and was about to shut it when Thanatos put his foot in front of her to prevent her from doing so.
