'Where is he? Where is my son?'' Poseidon said in a very threatening voice. He glowered at Sally who sobbed as he saw that it was him standing at the doorway. ''What did that filthy bastard do to him?''
''I. . . I-I don't know! I have no idea that he'll hurt our son, I don't know I don't. . . I don't - Please save him. Save Percy!'' Sally was sobbing loudly in front of him, stuttering everywhere, and she looked like she was ready to collapse right then and there. ''I swear I didn't know!''
Sally made some space so he could enter the room that was emitting different scents of rotten food, cigarettes, and alcohol altogether. He saw a couch and with great curiosity, he thought that maybe, just maybe, his son might be there. He was taken aback as he saw the child that he was craving to hold and nurture for more than a decade already.
''Percy,'' Poseidon rasped. He quickly trailed his fingers on the scars and bruises. His son whimpered before him, he seemed so sensitive with the light touches that he was giving. He took his hand away and clenched his fists. How dare that useless human hurt his child, hurt his innocent and pure Percy.
He carried his son bridal-style as his son continued whimpering in his his arms. He shushed the boy and he found relief as the boy started to clutch onto his chest. He tightened his grip as he glared at Sally who allowed this kind of harm to come unto Percy.
''I tried everything, please. Believe me,'' Sally chocked out.
''I will take him away from here, from that man, from everything that could remind him of this ever happening,'' he growled. Sally just nodded as she thought that this would be what's best for her son.
He teleported himself to the nearest hospital, just at the doorway so the mortals won't freak out by his sudden presence.
The nurse saw him carrying his son that was covered in bruises and he knew that it was enough to make the nurse call the others to assist his son to the emergency room.
He was advised to stay out but after a while, the doctor told him that it was then okay to enter the room but he was not to disrupt his Percy's sleep.
He entered the room and felt his eyes tearing up. How could anyone in their right mind hurt his child? He had watched Percy as he grew up. He watched every generous move he did, he did everything to know every little detail he could know about his son.
He cursed Zeus for making him follow the ancient laws. He doesn't care anymore. He would take care of his son no matter what.
''Never again, Percy,'' he whispered. ''Never again.''
