So far Chiron had been the only one capable of getting everyone's attention for more than two minutes.

"We have sent the five League members in. Leo has just told me that they have decided to split up. Should I tell them to not follow through or…?" Piper personally thought that Chiron was wasting his time.

"Yeah, whatever they think is best," said Hermes not even bothering to look up.

Apollo sniffled and glared at Hermes. "You don't care about this at all, do you? My baby sister is there being held hostage by some terrorist group and you can't even be bothered not to-"

Chiron held his hand up and Apollo fell silent. "You need to get a hold of yourself Apollo. Your sister would not want to see you like this, especially 17:02 Pentagon

"Calm down General Ares, I'm sure Apollo didn't mean to insult you. Apollo apologize right now! Dionysus wake up. Put down the wine or so help me I will…"

Piper was worried. It was five in the afternoon and normally she was either hanging out with Jason or giving Leo dating advice. It was five in the afternoon and she was already breaking into her stash of coffee she had brought along.

So far there had been a total of seven death threats and Apollo had been freaking out for the past fifteen minutes. Hermes was not being helpful and was checking his phone every so often while Dionysus was snoring away. Now that you are our President. If you feel that you are not up for the job, then Hermes will have to do it."

Ares nodded. "That was the smartest thing I've heard all day."

Piper was relieved that she didn't have to use her charm-speak anymore. It was starting to give herself a slight headache and she needed to be alert incase Jason was in trouble.

Suddenly the screens mounted to the wall began to flicker. The words INCOMING MESSAGE FROM BUNKER flashed across the screen, scaring Piper so badly that she almost dropped her cup of coffee.

"Accept message," boomed Ares.

Gaea's face appeared on the screen. She looked like Christmas had come early and she had just received the best present ever.

"Hello, as you know my name is Gaea. You are probably wondering what I want." She laughed, "To put it in simple terms for you to understand, I want the codes for the Big Three Plan. Then I want you to give me control of Tartarus. After you give me what I want I will then release everyone from this bunker."

Piper's throat went dry. She hoped Leo was listening to this conversation so he could relate it back to the others.

"We are not in control of the codes," snapped Ares. "The United States of America does not negotiate with terrorist."

Gaea laughed again and Piper shuddered. That laugh would haunt her nightmares. "Really? That has never been a problem before. I thought diplomacy was your greatest weapon?"

Ares shook in anger. "This is an entirely different situation."

"You are right," Gaea nodded. "Now you are the ones who are in trouble and need help. Unfortunately no one will come to your aid." Her eyes panned the room and she took notice of Piper and Chiron. "If I catch a so-called Hero in the White House I will not hesitate to show you the bodies. I will also kill one hostage for every person found."

Before anyone could say anything the connection was cut.

"We need to get your team out of there!" shouted Apollo turning to Chiron. "They will find them and kill Artemis."

Ares stood up, his face red. "That's it! Hermes is the new President now. All you can do is freak out over your sister. If she was here she would tell you to get a grip and help her out!"

While all this was going on, Chiron told Piper to check in with Leo about the current situation.

"Hey Leo, did you get all of that?"

"Yeah, if we don't give her what she wants she will kill everyone. Classic hostage situation. If we get through this alive I think Hollywood should do a movie about us."

Piper rolled her eyes. "We are not the ones in danger here. Oh god, if they find Jason I don't know what I'm going to do."

"Go into a killing rampage and them a depression?"

"I'm being serious Leo. This is a possibility. What if they don't make it?"

Leo was silent for a moment. "Do you trust Jason," he asked.

"Of course I do," exclaimed Piper.

"Then trust that he will come back to you."

Piper smiled. This is what made Leo such a good friend. "Thank Leo, I will. Tell the others what you heard. Wish them luck for me Repair Boy."

"Will do, Beauty Queen."

7:15 in the White House Bunker

Reyna liked to think that she knew how to handle any situation that came her way. Normally she was right and everything turned out the way she planned. She was a realist and hard-working, which made her a good leader. Never the less, this situation was one that she would have happily left to Annabeth if she could.

She was bound and gagged. Left on the floor with rest of her teammates like garbage ready to be taken out. Not only was the position uncomfortable but Reyna also felt like this dehumanized her for some reason. There was a collar around her neck to add insult to injury and. All of that added up to an angry Reyna. It was well known that if you got on her bad side she could be worse than Annabeth. The only reason you were better off insulting Annabeth was because Reyna was willing to go to any length to get revenge. She was after all, a politician. Her mother was Bellona, who was part of the War Council and former Representative.

Gaea had now just finished chatting with the people at the Pentagon. Reyna inwardly sighed. She hoped the others would not get caught if they decided to perform a rescue mission. "Clytius, Alcyoneus, go and check for any hidden passageways. Porphyrion, take the twins and patrol the corridors. Bring me back anyone you find alive. I want Chiron to watch as they die," barked Gaea.

Reyna looked at Gaea with disgust. What sick minded person would wish that on another human being? (Well, half human if Chiron decided to turn into a centaur.)

The said people went and left the bunker. A new voice said, "What about me?"

"You will stay with me. You never know when plans can go wrong. I don't think they will but it can never hurt to make sure," said Gaea

"You are right. I am just itching to play my part."

"I understand Polybotes. You will get to play your part I assure you."

Reyna would have shivered if she wasn't bound up so tightly. It would hurt when the bonds came off. Her legs had been asleep for the past thirty minutes and her arms were sure to follow.

With Frank and Jason in the West Corridor 17:24

Frank was slightly nervous. It was only natural to be since this was a major mission. If he messed this up… "Frank, what are you doing?"

Frank was snapped out of his thoughts when Jason called to him. Apparently he had stopped in the middle of the hallway.Frank was happy the power was out to cover his blush.

"Sorry, my nerves just caught up with me for a second."

Jason gave him a reassuring pat on the shoulder. "It's natural to be nervous but I wouldn't worry too much about it. You'll do fine."

"Thanks."

Jason peered down the hallway and stepped over a dead agent's body. "I think it's clear."

Frank nodded and they both made their way slowly down a flight of stairs. They were making a good timing and if everything continued like this they would be at the elevator in ten minutes.

Just then they both heard footsteps down the hallway. Jason and Frank froze in the middle of the stairs. Frank readied his bow and notched and arrow. Jason slowly took out his sword and crept down the stairs.

As soon as the two figures rounded the corner Frank fired, killing one instantly. The other one was a bit smarter and ducked behind an open doorway. Frank also took out his sword and joined Jason at the bottom of the stairs. They both crouched behind a pile of rubble.

"What should we do know?" asked Frank. He was slightly out of breath. Adrenaline surged through his veins.

Jason analyzed the situation. "We wait until he come out. Then we attack."

Okay, simple and straight-forward. That was good, thought Frank.

After waiting a few minutes that felt more like hours, Frank could see the barrel of a gun extend from the doorframe. "Duck!" Jason shouted.

Jason ducked behind the rubble but Frank's body betrayed him. Without thinking he lunged forward and sprinted towards to where the terrorist was. Bullets whizzed past his ears and one grazed his arm. He didn't have time to register the pain before he was right in front of the terrorist.

As if being controlled by some other force, he raised his sword and stabbed. The terrorist managed to catch it on the barrel of his gun and he shot a couple more rounds before Frank managed to get the gun away from him. By then Jason had arrived and together they made short work of him.

Jason looked at Frank impressed, "Woah Frank, I did not know you were that good. Good job."

Frank gave him a weak smile in return. "Thanks. I guess the practice with coach Hedge did some good after all." Well, there was no need to embarrass himself further by saying he had no idea what he was doing.
