Percy
I have no idea why they think I planted the bomb. Hell, I didn't even know there was a bomb! All we wanted to do was go see a movie, and someone pointed at me the moment the bomb exploded. I had been and cuffed within minutes, despite Annabeth's protest that I was with her the entire time.
"Visitors Percy." I looked up at the police chief, Hades.
"No one visits me Hades. You know that." It's been three days since that bomb went off, killing four people. I've had no visitors. I told Hades to not tell my mom. She never watches the news anyway.
"You'd be surprised. This one calls you seaweed brain." My head shot up.
"That's Annabeth!" He smiled. Hades even believes I didn't plant the bomb, because he's been trying to find my father's murder.
"I'll go get her. She's a keeper by the way. Don't lose her." I smiled as he went to go bring her in. I know she thinks I'm innocent, which is a good thing. I really was with her the entire time. The door opened again, and Annabeth came running to the cell I was in. When she saw me, tears started falling.
"Hades, could you let me out?" I sighed.
"Normally, the answer is no. But I know you Percy. No funny tricks now." He unlocked the cell door, and she came running into my arms. She sobbed into my chest, wave after wave. I just held her, whispering positive ideas in her ear. Hades just looked uncomfortable.
"I'm sorry about this Percy. I really am." She sobbed. I smiled.
"Annabeth, look at me", she did, " My life was boring before I met you. But you brought me life, you brought me happiness. Don't blame you, but blame whoever did this." She didn't stop crying, which worried me.
"Hades, is there any strings you can pull?" He thought it over for a minute.
"Well, there is the living space out back. We were going to destroy it and never got the chance. Plus, you're not really that violent. I guess I can put you there." Oh thank you Hades.
He moved us there within a minute, and we were left alone. Finally, she had calmed down.
"So, hows prison life?" I smiled.
"Of all things, you start with that. Shut up let her talk!" I joked. That got her laughing.
"I'm sorry you're in here Percy. I really am." I lifted her head so her eyes meet mine.
"Anna, forget it. Someone obviously hates us together and is trying to frame me. She kept looking at me. She bit her lower lip, and I knew she wants to tell me something.
"Go ahead. Say what you want to." She lowered her head and mumbled something.
"What was that?" She took a deep breath and looked me in the eyes again.
"I know who did this." She does?
"You do? Who?" Never breaking eye contact, she said just one word, and suddenly, I understood why. Why she was an outcast, and why I wanted to protect her from day one.
"Luke."
