As Promised...Nathan's Story! part 3
"well, she blurted, "with respect, it's more of an urban myth than anything else. An archeological student's prank to poke fun at freshmen, so to speak. Go and fetch me all that you can on the greek Falcon and that sort of thing. Though Dashiell Hammett made an oblique reference to it in The maltese Falcon, I believe..."
"Splendid!", the old man cackled gleefully. "I knew you were the right person for the job. had to be...!"
"Well", Athena replied, a tad miffed, whatever 'job' you had in mind for me, I can be joined easily at my office and I have a public address. Unless having young women kidnapped and trussed up in the back of a limo is your idea of a job offer, that is..."
"I must apologize fo rthe discomfort, Ms Nikos", her host said, placatingly. "I have powerful enemies and you do have a certain reputation for.. attracting danger, shall we say...?"
Athena suppressed an inner shudder. Tread carefully there, girl. The man is as wise as his age, she thought. "Well, mostly a reputation for attracting kidnappers, I'm afraid", she smiled apologetically, squirming demurely in her bonds. I should certainly be the one to be worried, don't you think?"
"Well, whatever, I've had a generous sum deposited into your account both as consideration for the night's work and compensation for the current... predicament, shall we say?"

The chauffeur moved silently to the box, lifted the top and took out a massive statue which he put on the glass of the table before removing himself unobtrusively.
"Behold", her host said, unable to hide the excited quaver in his aged voice. "Risen from the mist of ages to soar again into our mortal skies..."
Athena gave a gasp and stared wide-eye as legend laughed and became real.
"The Greek Falcon...".
"What do you know of the Greek falcon,Ms Nikos?", the wizened old man asked.
Athena gave him a puzzled look but stopped short of snorting. Strange as the evening had turned out to be, the situation was not that bad so far, barring the minor fact that she was still strictly tied up and shoeless -"We wouldn't want your heels to leave some marks on the polished floor", the chauffeur had explained in his ever-polite bass voice as he carried her up the stairs of the mansion and into the richly arranged living-room. At least the gag was gone for now and the man had loosened some of her bond, re-tying her sore ankles so her feet no longer felt numb after the long ride.Athena gave a gasp and stared wide-eye as legend laughed and became real.
