Chapter 3: This just gets weirder
Percy POV:
All of us manage to get to the hospital to see how Ethan was doing but, when we got there we saw Luke pacing back and forth until he saw us coming then he stopped "Hey guys" Luke said "Hey Luke, how's Ethan?" Annabeth ask and he looked down "He'll be fine, he just needs time to heal and an eye patch but other than that fine" Luke said but I wasn't convinced. He was hiding something and I had a feeling Annabeth knew it to because she looked at me and nodded and we walk to the corner to talk in private "Luke's hiding something" Annabeth said "Yah it has to something big and I think Bianca is involved to" I said but Annabeth just Looked at me "What makes you say that?" She ask "Well think about it Luke wants to talk to her in Private and Alexandra Donato it's like you said someone paid her to look like Bianca" I finished and Annabeth started thinking about it "Yah your right But what were those two in to get an-"But she didn't get to finish because my Cell began to ring "Hello, what, were, Ok were on our way" I hang up "What is it" Annabeth asked "Grab Thalia and Clarisse there's been another murder" I told her and she left to get the other two, when they got here we left.
The Scene
When we got there Chris was a little pale "What's wrong Chris you look like you've seen a ghost?" Clarisse asked "It's not that it's our victim he looks a lot like-"Chris stopped for a moment "Like….." Annabeth asked "Well see for your selves" He told us and we went forwards but what we saw shocked us it was Luke but not "He looks like Luke" I said "Yah and just like Bianca he fits Luke's discretion to a T but how?" Annabeth said "And from what I could see the Couse of death is the Built wounds on his chest" Chris said from behind us "Do you know what time?" Thalia asked "Around 5AM" "The same time as Alexandra Donato but how come it took longer to find him?" Clarisse asked "They probable kept him longer before dragging him out for us to find, and guess what else we found" Chris asked "Another note" I said and he nodded then lifting up the victims arm "But it's not Greek this time… it Italian" Annabeth said "Then I guess its Thalia's department then" Clarisse said and Thalia nodded "Let's see, it says 'Ora sappiamo la verità' it means 'we now know the truth'" Thalia said before looking at us "Ok take him back to the lab and figure out how he is and contact his family if he has any" Annabeth said and Chris nodded before leaving "Thalia call Bianca we need to talk to her" I told her and she was confused "Why?" she ask "Because we think Bianca and Luke know more than there saying" Annabeth said and Thalia nodded and went to call Bianca. Before we left I looked at the crowd that showed up and saw the same boy that was there during the first murder I wasn't able to get closer because he saw me and ran off again and disappeared so I just turned around and left with Annabeth back to the hospital to talk to Luke.
Hospital
When we got there Luke was gone "hey were did Luke go?" I asked and Jason pointed to the hallway "Ethan woke up and he went to go see him" Jason said and we started walking towards that direction. When we got to Ethan's room we heard them talking "What did he mean Luke?" Ethan asked "I-I don't know Ethan" Luke said "Luke Please don't lie to me, is it true" we heard Ethan and it sounded like he was crying "I-I … It's true" Luke said "Why didn't you ever told me?!" Ethan asked "Because I was afraid you would think differently of me if you knew the truth!" Luke said "Luke…I would never think differently of you it was your past but… why couldn't you tell me other than that?" Ethan asked "Because I'm tetchily supposed to dead" at that we came in and the jumped in surprise met "sorry for barging in but Luke were going to have to ask you a few questions" Annabeth told him and he nodded but before getting up he kissed Ethen on the lips and whispered something to him before getting up and walking in front of us and Annabeth fallowed I told her I would be there in a minute and she nodded.
I turned to look at Ethan "So other than your eye how do you feel?" I ask and he nodded "I'm good if it weren't for the fact that someone tried to kill me" He said "Ok can you describe this person" I asked and he nodded "I can try" he said "It was definitely a boy blue eyes, average height, but he was wearing a mask so I didn't see his face but he was American" he told me and I nodded "I'm sorry I can't be much help" Ethan said "No its ok Ethan you had to go throw this its ok not to know that much" I told him before getting up "Percy" He called "Yah?" I asked "Please don't blame Luke it wasn't his fault" Ethan said and I nodded "It's not that we blame him Ethan it's just… he's hiding something and we have to figure out what" I told him and he nodded that's when I left.
The Priesting
When we got there Bianca was already there with Thalia and they looked at us "What's this about?" Bianca asked "We just need to ask you something's about something's" Annabeth said before taking Bianca's hand and taking her to the interrogation room and I dragged Luke. I closed the door and sat down next to Annabeth as we started "I do believe that you two have something to tell us" Annabeth said "And don't worry were not recording this we know you didn't kill anyone but you are keeping something from us" I told them. They looked at each other before nodded "Your right you guys should know the truth" Bianca said and Luke nodded in agreement "you see seven years ago me and Luke worked for a guy name Kronos Turn and he made me and Luke Kill whoever he wanted with no questions asked" Bianca said "Yes but then we didn't want to live with this anymore we went to the FBI and told them everything but as payment they get us away from this life and they agreed so we told them all we knew and told them were they next target was" Luke said "They toke the person somewhere safe well we had to play dumb to Octavius another member of the gang so after we couldn't find him we left and after that the FBI pretended to be the Police and started chasing us all the way up to the point that we split up me and Luke went to the place the police wanted us to meet them at and they already had are deaths stage so that's when they took us somewhere safe, we went to school, got degrees, got jobs, feel in love, got married and we thought we would be save but apparently Kronos must have found out that were alive and are coming after us" Bianca said "And the one's we care about" Luke said "So that's the reason Ethan was a target" Annabeth said and Luke nodded "Yes but I never wanted him to get hurt I just…." Luke said "We know dud" I said "But we have another problem" Bianca said "And what's that?" Annabeth asked "It's my Little brother and sister" she said "You have a brother and sister?" We both asked and she nodded "Yes Nico and Hazel" she said "Why didn't you take them with you?" I ask "Because they were too young to go on missions like me and Luke so I- I couldn't bring them even if I wanted to" Bianca said "Well don't worry I'm sure we'll find them" Annabeth said to reassure her which worked.
We got up and exited the interrogation room were Thalia was waiting for Bianca and we knew it wasn't going to be Pretty bad. So we left them to talk while Luke took his seat at his desk "Well at least we now know why but we still got to figure out who he is and why he wants to kill them" Annabeth said "Maybe he wants revenge for them running away and selling him out" I said "Yes but there has to be another reason" Annabeth said. That's when Jason, Frank, and Grover came back "Well the doctor said Ethan should be up and running by tomorrow" Grover said and Luke signed "Thanks Grover" Luke said "Hey what are partners for" He said smiling, but then my phone rang "Another murder?" Annabeth asked and I picked up my phone "Hello" "Hello Percy Jackson" Said a man's voice "Who are you?" I ask and he just laughed "O don't worry we'll met soon enough but for now I suggest you check on Jason's little firebug I'm pretty sure he's burning up" the voice said before he hung up "What did he mean by that?" I ask "Percy what's wrong?" Frank asked "Jason do you call anyone your little firebug?" I asked and He nodded "Yah that's what I call Leo…Why?" He asked a little alert "Because that man just said 'I suggest you check on Jason's little firebug I'm pretty sure he's burning up' before hanging up" I told him before Jason got up and ran out the door "Clarisse Call Will and see if Jake is there or not and if he isn't tell him to bet us at "The forge shop" and do the same with Selina" I told her and she nodded then the rest of us followed Jason.
The Forge shop
When we got there the fire department was already there and the whole place was up in flames "LEO!" Jason called out but there were no replies but then we saw some fireman come out with four people "LEO! Jason called out again and one of them raised their heads "JASON" Leo called out and Jason ran towards him and they embraced and we ran towards them to see Jake, Charles and Hephaestus were also out "Were glade you guys are ok" I said happy to see them but before anyone else said anything We heard three different voices from behind us "JAKE" "CHARLES" "HEPHAESTUS" we turned around to see Will, Selina and Aphrodite running towards us and they embraced their husbands. Selina and Aphrodite were asking if they were alright and are they hurt while Will was just make sure he was alright "What happen?" Annabeth asked "Well we were just about to close for tonight but then these guy came and throw a bomb in there that's when we ducked but we hired him say something but I think it was in Spanish" Jake said and Leo nodded "yah he said 'Nos perjudicará a los seres queridos para hacerles sufrir' it means 'we will hurt the ones you love to make you suffer'" Leo said. After that I kind of blocked the conversation because I was looking around 'All this started because two people wanted freedom' I thought to myself and I couldn't believe these monsters there hurting everyone just for revenge, why couldn't they just let that go but before I could think any farther I saw the same boy I always see but mush more clearer he had black hair and eyes the dark brown and he was short but not too short, he looked pale like he hasn't been in the sun light that mush and was…cute for a boy he looked about four years younger than me I would have said more if it weren't for the fact he saw me looking at him and ran off. I knew I should have followed him but it was too dark to see so I didn't. I went back to the others but I still had to wander, 'who is he and why is he always at our crime scenes'?
