Whoop! Chapter 2 on the go! I thought I was going to post this chapter next week, but I couldn't wait and I already wrote it so I was like, whatever. But the ones coming after this one will be weekly. So I decided this one is going to be in Piper's POV, so tell me if I did okay with her, alright? Right.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Percy Jackson characters.

Piper smirks when she left her letter in his house and walks to her house. This is just too easy. The guy always underestimates her. He thought she was in the mall now, probably, but Piper never was. She planted a small bomb there to make it seem like she was robbing it, which she was but she would pick up the money later. She knows she's torturing him by breaking into his house and writing the letters. But it was just too much fun.

Piper frowns all of a sudden. She feels bad for the guy, she really does. And honestly, though she would never admit this out loud, she thinks Jason Grace is really not a bad cop at all. She's seen him catch other criminals, ones that she even thought were experienced robbers. And if Piper wasn't silently dancing to her victory in her head, she'd probably hate doing what she does to the poor guy. Piper smiles again. No. What she thought was a complete lie, and she knows it. She doesn't feel an inch of pity for the stupid idiot.

For her "meeting" with the cop, she decides to put on her mask again. Not the ski mask that normal robbers would wear, but her own personal mask. And this time, she decides to be a singer off the street. Who just so happens to be at Central Park. At 2 in the afternoon.

She glances at the mirror once she's done changing her clothes, just to see what she looks like. Not that she actually cares, but if this is going to work properly, she has to look at least decent. While looking in the mirror, she is reminded of what her father told her when she was little. About how she looked so much like her mother. Piper's only seen one picture of her mother, but it's enough to know that her father was completely wrong. But once she started to grow up, she started to notice small resemblances. And she hates it. She wants to be treated normally, not like some daddy's princess that lives in a life-sized Barbie Doll house. She tries to downplay her looks, she's even tried cutting her hair randomly with safety scissors, but it wouldn't do much good, and as egotistic as she may seem, she hates to admit it. Then one day, she decides to use her "looks" as an advantage. And she never thought that day would come, considering that the cops still think she's not a girl, but now it has.

So Piper grabs her guitar and case, and she walks out the door.

Piper made sure to arrive at noon sharp, just to get situated before the so called "awarded for two years in a row for being the best cop" to arrive. She sings random songs that her Grandpa Tom used to sing on her guitar, and is honestly surprised when she sees actual dollars in her case. She thought her voice was horrible. Eventually came 2 pm, and she was shocked to see that her palms were sweating; she didn't think she would be this nervous to see him.

And there he is. He walks around for a little while "subtly" trying to look at faces and it's obvious he's suspicious. Well to her it is obvious, considering she knows who he's looking for. It's then when she realizes she's got a small crowd surrounding her again, obviously wanting to hear more from her since they apparently heard her other song she was singing.

So she does, and she hopes Jason will notice and come to her because she wants to fool him once again. It works. He looks at her and seems to get distracted by her voice for a while, then hesitantly walks toward her.

Once she's done singing and the people leave while placing cash in her guitar case, Jason starts to speak. "Hello."

Piper pretends she doesn't know him and replies questioningly, "Hi."

Then he looks away, probably now realizing how awkward the conversation has started and is about to walk away when Piper starts speaking. "You waiting for someone?"

That makes him suspicious, and he raises an eyebrow. "Yeah sort of... how did you know?"

Piper tries to suppress her smirk, succeeds, and pretends to look a little sheepish. "Well, you look a little lost..."

Jason's eyes soften and Piper tries her best to not roll her eyes. Leave it to him to think she's just a clueless little girl.

"Well, I am I guess." Then he glances around quickly around him and turns back to her with a sheepish smile of his own, "have you by any chance... noticed anything suspicious lately?"

Piper pretends to be suspicious and slightly annoyed and replies, "Nothing but you."

He shakes his head apologetically. "Sorry, it's just... never mind, don't worry about it. Just forget what I said."

"No, wait," Piper says and slowly leans towards him. "I think I may have seen something going on in there." She points towards the building next to her and almost smirks when she sees his eyebrows raise, catching the bait.

"Oh." And he starts to make a move towards the building, and Piper is about to smirk a job-well-done, when he looks back at her, "Are you coming?"

Well, that was unexpected. But Piper knew better than to say no to a police man. Especially one that's suspicious. Besides, Piper might even find some valuable piece of information from Jason. So Piper nods and follows him.

Piper smiles as Jason frowns at just how big the building is and how many people happen to be in it. After all the decisions she made, this building has got to be in the top ten.

"So... what exactly did you see in here?"

Piper sighed inwardly. She had a feeling this was going to happen. Piper's smile had now turned into a frown, one that matched Jason's as she realized what she was going to do. Now thinking about it, why exactly did she pick this building? She should have recognized it as soon as she pointed it out. This was the building she hid most of her money in. There's no getting out of it now. "I think I saw someone enter that room over there," she points over to a room that says 'Managers Only'. "Someone that I've never seen here before, and I've been here a lot," she adds just in case.

Her and Jason walk towards the room, but are stopped by a security guard. "Excuse me, but you are not allowed in here."

Piper looks back at Jason as if to say, Oh well but he puts his hand up in a gesture like, I got this. He takes out his Identification Card, as a police, and the guard's eyes go wide before letting them in reluctantly, and it's all Piper can do to not roll her eyes.

Once they're allowed in, Jason starts to search the room, but finds nothing. "Are you sure he went here?"

How do you know it's a 'he'? Piper thinks annoyingly, but she replies, "Yeah, I swear."

Jason's eyebrows furrow in confusion and continues to find the room. Piper also pretends to search the room with him, but "accidentally" trips on a latch. A latch that only she knows where. Jason's eyes go wide as he looks at it, and she pretends to match his expression as well.

Jason walks towards her and gently moves Piper aside. He somehow figures out Piper's secret combination, and that annoys her more because she thought no one could possibly find out, and he smiles when he finds the money in there. The money that Piper worked so hard to retrieve. Well, maybe not so hard. It was rather easy. But she couldn't pretend she wasn't sad to see it all go to waste like that.

Once outside again, Jason asks Piper to help move the money inside his trunk so he can carry it back with him to see if the thief left any clues in it. Piper does so, but she knows how pointless it's going to be. Piper is never one to leave clues behind, but Jason doesn't have to know that.

After everything is packed in his car, he turns to me and puts his hand out. "My name is Jason by the way."

She stares at it for a while, but realizes that he still doesn't know her and she has to pretend to not know him as well before meeting her hand with his and giving it a slight shake. "I'm Piper."

Jason lets go of her hand and takes out a sheet of paper and scribbles something on it. He then puts the paper in her hand, but doesn't quite let go. "Maybe you should call me sometime." Then he realizes what he just said and his cheeks go red while he stutters back, "No, not like that. I mean as a friend. Or- if you want- I mean- nevermind- but seriously you should call, if you want. Because you helped me today. Thanks." He finishes awkwardly, while looking down.

Piper smirks for the first time that day because she loves how stupid he looks right now, but decides to play along. She leans in and kisses his cheek, while saying, "Yeah. I just might." Then she walks away, only glancing back one more time to see him still standing there with a small smile forming on his face.

When Piper gets back to her house, it's then that she realized what happened. She wrote in the letter, if he doesn't notice anything then he would quit his career. But he did notice. Even if it wasn't the way he thought. And Piper basically just gave him a chance with the whole exposing-the-money thing.

Piper sighs as she writes her next letter to him, telling him that she'll give him another chance in the most teasing way possible. At least she'll get some information out of this.

This mask thing is hard, she realizes. And she's going to have to keep it on if she's going to be spending more time with Jason.

...You like? I think I did okay. The next chapter is going to be in Jason's POV and it's going to keep going on like that (the POVs I mean). So the next chapter is going to be next Sunday so... review please :D

Till next time,
