Chapter 11

Hello again. Sorry for so many misspellings last chapter. And for any in this chapter. My computer broke and I have to do this on my iPod. Here's an extra long chapter just for you!

Disclaimer: Not mine. (Cries in corner.)

Thalia's pov-

The connection goes in and out, cracking every so often. I keep talking to Luke, even if the line goes dead for a minute. Somehow, I hear his response. "Fine. "

Great. Lets hope Kelp Head can pull this off and made a decent plan for once.

Midnight at the street lamp by the abandoned lot. Every man for himself. Get Annie and get out. Oh and just incase if something goes wrong, get Percy before Luke flat-out kills him.

Percy's pov-

One thing I know about Luke is that's he's always punctual. And he's a total duche.

That's why a minute after twelve I know something went wrong. I'm hiding by my self in a dark alley about ten yards from the street lamp. All I need to do is keep them ocupado so the rest could sneak in to Luke's warehouse, a half a mile away.

But he wasn't here. If they got caught, by the good Lord on high-

"Percy! Where are you!?"

Great. Good. Awesome. He brought the gang.

Thalia's pov-

Once Luke finally left stopped screaming, yes we could hear him from outside, Jason gives us the signal from the roof to go in. I, being the only person here before we had agreed for me to guide Leo, Grover, the Stoll's, and Nico through the huge abandoned warehouse. Grover, being the only smart one, was the only one who brought a freakin' flashlight. Yeah, even through I know where everything is in this building, I still keep stumbling.

When we finally get to the top left section of the warehouse where Luke keeps his - cough- prisoners- cough, we run into trouble. Leo and Nico won't stop yelling at each other and the Stoll keep holding the flashlight over Grover's head so he can't reach. I keep telling them to shut up, but, being idiots like always, Conner ends up shining the flashlight right into a gang member's sleeping face.

Nico pounces on Connor, knocking the flashlight to the ground. That starts the guard, who jumps up with a gun pointed to us.

"Well...shit." With that, we take off running with the guard hot on our trail. "What'd a we do?!" Grover shouts at me from the left. "Easy."

I take the lead, stumbling through the dark warehouse and running up stairs, going to where there is a whole in the roof. We hit the dead with are backs to the wall the the guard with the gun pointed at us. We look at each other, and he clicks the bluet into place. Hoping Jason will hear me, I scream.

There's a pounding sound on the roof, which comes with a very heavy box falling on the guard's head. Jason pops his head in through the whole. "Why hello. How ya doing?"

-Percy's pov.-

"Little Percy and friends! We're here!" I see Luke outstretch his arms. "Well!"

Hopefully they've had enough time because all of hell's gonna break lose in a moment.

"Hello Luke."

"Where are you? Trying to outsmart me?"

I step out from my hiding spot and smirk up at him when I see his eyes light us with fire.

"You tricked us!"

"Look who's the slow one know."

He doesn't waste a second and yells at everyone else to run back. They still won't get there in time. To bad for them.

When he turns around I open my mouth to say 'to late' but he beats me to it. He punches me across the face, making me fall to the ground he stands over me. "She is mine. Don't you forget it or I will send you to hell. Take her now, sure, but I will get her back."

He runs after his gang.

-Thalia's pov-

Left, right,up,right, left, down, down, right, right. I lead them through the never ending labyrinth of hall ways. When we get to the door, Nico shots at the locks and the old door falls open. Jason stands guard by the door while the rest of us slowly walk in. Grover shine the flashlight around till it lands on a lump in the middle of the floor. The same second we all realize its Annie is the same second we hear the gang get into the warehouse and all eyes turn to me.

"Go! Go! We have about 30 seconds. Go!"

Nico scopes up Annie, Grover helps him, Jason guards the back with his gun at the ready, and Travis and Connor run in front with their baseball bats and pepper spray. I lead the way down the hallway and out the window and out the fire escape with only the clanking sound the only clue we were escaping. By the time someone sticks their head out the window and starts shouting, we are halfway down the street.

It was all going fine until Grover speaks up. "Um Thalia, she bleeding out."

That just made me run faster, and they kept up.

In the back of my mind, it registered that it was amazing that these boys risked a lot to save someone they've never meet, for nothing. That's one of the big differences between them and Luke.

-line break-

When we get back, Percy's there, sitting on the couch, looking straight ahead. I don't even get to open my mouth when Percy orders the boys stabilize her, right there on the floor. I was the only one who stood up to him, but that didn't help.

-the next day-

A get a call from Percy at five. "She's alive. Get over here."

All done. Hope you enjoyed. Also, I'm looking for a beta reader. Pm me if interested.
