The Music Man
By EgoSumERex
Percy Jackson stood up in the train station. He was doing his best to keep his straw barber hat covering his face. He was in Cotton suit with yello stipes. He kept his suit case, that said: Professor Percy Jackson, near his leg. He tried not to look shady. He was failing. Then, with a unmistable "chug chug chug" sound, a steam train rolled into the station.
"ALLL Aborrrrrd!" called the Ticket master. Percy hussed to a car. "For River city, Idaho!"
"THERE HE IS!" someone yelled. A mob of angry parents ran into the station, with pitchforks and guns. One had a torch.
"GET HIM!" Octavia yelled, shaking his fist.
"Give us back out cash!" Yelled Gwen.
Percy, who had stopped for a second, ran into the train. "Come back hear!" Frank yelled. The train started to move. The mob was left behind.
"You are the best con in the world." Percy said to himself, as he pulled his hat over his head. Percy Jackson, wanted in 12 states and 9 countries, took a nap.
The sound of running water awoke Percy. He saw a brite light. The train exited out of the tunnel, and Percy saw the sorse of the water: The canal on the left side of the train.
"Its not a river, its a canal." Percy said. Percy got up, and looked around him. He would be in River city, Idaho, by the afternoon. Life was good for the Con man.
