Adonis and Aphroditus Read Free Page A

the rest of his time move quicker
even with the crazy calls he still received. Now that it was nearly
time for her to call back, so Hades kept his phone line open
by having calls identified and switched to someone else. Adonis
began to sweat it when she hadn’t called back at the specified time
but maybe she wasn’t the prompt type of person. He waited on
tenterhooks for his line to light up. He’d thought about her a lot
and felt bad for her. It was wrong to steal a child from its mother
like that. It wasn’t the worst thing Origin had done but it was
just one more on a list of black misdeeds they had perpetrated.
    The phone rang and his line lit up. “Hello,
this is the lost gods hotline. How may I direct your call?”
    “I spoke to you before about the fertility
clinic. I recognize your voice. Have you gotten approval for the
deal?”
    “I’ve gotten the authority to make you a deal
within certain limits. Tell me exactly what you’ll give us
and exactly what you want then I can tell you if we can do
it.”
    “I can do that. I know where a god is being
kept as well as where there are ex-Origin employees breeding women
with god sperm. I’ll tell you where to go to free him, but you must
free the babies they are holding as well. I want my baby back and
I’m sure there are several other mothers who do too. Was that clear
enough?” She said the last part as if she thought he was simple
minded.
    It annoyed him but he couldn’t show it. “Very
clear Ma’am. We can help you as long as your information turns out
to be correct.”
    “Well it will be if you guys get off your ass
and down here right away. I’m in Tulune, Mississippi which is a
spot on the road that doesn’t even show on a map, but I’ll send you
the coordinates.”
    They talked for thirty minutes with Hades
whispering in one ear as he listened to her in the other. The
female had a military mind and had given them some good
suggestions. He wanted to know more about her. There was just
something about her that called to him and made him want to meet
her. He knew that would never happen unless she came here, but that
was probably for the best anyway. The call finally ran down and
Adonis thought everything had been covered. They said goodbye and
he felt a slight ache at the thought he’d never see or speak to her
again. He shrugged it off, it just wasn’t meant to be.
    “I guess I get out of hotline duty for a
while now?” Adonis asked smiling at Hades.
    Hades smiled back but his smile didn’t make
Adonis feel reassured. “You sure will. You’re going on the mission
to free her daughter and Perseus. Congratulations, looks like
you’ve been promoted.” Hades slapped him on the back hard enough to
push him forward before he caught himself.
    “Wh-what?”
    “I know this is a lot to take in but you’ve
now been approved for a trip to Mississippi. You’ll love this short
getaway from Olympus and a chance to mix with humans. You’ll get
the chance to do things you normally don’t and experience human
delights. Go get some rest, we’re leaving in twelve hours. I’ll
send you an email listing what you need to know and how to dress.
Catch you later kid.”
    Adonis hated that Hades still called him kid
even though he’d been grown for sometime now. Yes, he was younger
than many of the gods, but some of them like Hades were older than
they looked. Adonis was still nearly dizzy from the spin Hades had
put on an unwanted trip to the human world. Was hades trying to
become a politician? It was just so out of character for Hades to
be so upbeat. The old Hades would have told him he was going and to
suck it up if he didn’t like it. Could this be the result of
mating? If it changed a god’s basic self, maybe it wasn’t such a
good thing after all. Of course it was the only way to get
children, and every god wanted children.
    Adonis went to eat supper and then he went to
his room to rest. He wanted to sleep, but he had so much running
through his
