I'm back and ready for action…maybe…but here's the next chapter for all you out there, have fun…
Annabeth eventually decided that waiting was stupid and would get her killed. She tried to pry the zip tie apart with her finger nails, that didn't work. She heard footsteps from the hostile's upstairs still talking about how to take out the Hawaiians she meet recently. Annabeth was starting to run out of ideas about escaping if only I can reach for my knife in my boot...wait! My knife!
The teenager slipped off her boot and the bronze knife clattered on the floor, noisier than expected. Annabeth froze to see if her enemies have heard the clattering, no one did. She counted to three because what she was going to do was going to cause some noise. She breathed in deeply then used all of her weight to rock the chair over to the side.
The teenager landed on her shoulder, very hardly, possibly dislocating it. At the moment it didn't really matter she needed to get out and tell Percy what she heard. She managed to kick her Greek knife near her hands; she grabbed it and cut herself out right as she heard the hostiles running to the basement door.
She quickly scanned the room for anything to block the door so she can make a clean escape. Annabeth ran over to a wall where there was a gas pipe hooked to it and pulled with all her might. The metal bar broke off making the gas burst out into the open space. The Demigod ran up the stairs with the pipe in her hand, and managed to block the door from swinging open.
She heard the hostiles banging on the door and she could see that the pipe would not hold for long. In the matter of fact three minutes at the most she had to hurry. Annabeth spotted a small window towards the top of the wall and a bookshelf near it. Without thinking she ran over to the book self and pushed it with all her weight on her good shoulder.
After the book self was half under the window she began to climb, the time she opened the window the men came barging in, with their swords out. "Hey! Get back here!" one of them shouted and ran after Annabeth, who took the not so good advantage. She was already halfway out of the window when the man grabbed tightly to her foot.
Out of instinct she kicked the older man in the face with her other foot, but he still held on. She kicked again but this time it was the book self and it toppled onto him pinning him to the ground. The blond took the advantage and escaped, by jumping out of the window.
Once she got to her feet she ran as fast as she could to the only place where she knew where to go, Kamekono's shrimp truck.

Percy got the feeling that the adults forgot that he was still in the back seat right after Danny hung up on the phone. The Demigod didn't really care it was for entertaining just to listen to the two argue, it made his day better, a little.
"you need to go see a Doctor! You're a little nutty at the moment!" Danny said
"What me nutty? Na I'm just fine, and I feel great!" Steve rolled down the window and stuck his arm out the window "why? You have a problem with that?"
"Yes I have a problem with that! NO ONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO HEAL THAT FAST EVER!" Danny turned left on an exit ramp that let to under the bridge that they were on.
"I just have to say it was just a mere miracle that's all"
"A MERE MIRACLE! WHEN DID YOU THROUGH RADIOACTIVE TRASH?" Danny yell, waving his arm around almost smacking the other adult in the face.
"Radioactive trash…really?" Steve laughed
"It was the only thing I came up with ok? Don't judge me!"
"I'm judging you, no matter what" Danny pulled up to the office parking lot.
"Why you little…I'm not allowing you to drive my car any more, got that?" Danny said while turning off the ignition, and Percy got out of the car just to stand there still in thought about where his girlfriend could be.
"Oh I got it…just wait and see" Steve got out of the car and looked at Percy, then back at his partner who was still yelling at him. "Hey Danny calm down, ok?" The blond detective inhaled deeply, after a couple seconds later he exhaled, "better?" he nodded, still giving Steve the 'I'm not going to let this go stare' "ok I'll meet you inside in a sec."
Steve's partner walked away without a word because he knew if he said another word that they would start arguing again. "Percy…"
"I know what you're going ask me…you want me to tell you everything…right?" Percy never looked up him looking over at the water that was so far away.
"Well not exactly…I just need to know is Annabeth like you in any way?"
Percy looked back at Steve giving him the 'are you serious' face "what kind of person would ask that question?"
"Apparently I do…you can trust me, I never told your secrete"
"It's just…why do I trust you? Annabeth doesn't"
"I can't tell your going to have to ask about that to her when we find her" the warm sea breeze blew softly between the men.
"you seem awfully positive all of a sudden"
"are you saying that I can't be happy?"
"no I'm not and I think Danny is wondering about you"
"eh? Don't worry about him, I'm more worried about you and the prophecy…at least come inside no one should be alone when this type of thing happens. I'm pretty sure that Danny boy over here will cheer you up." Steve gave Percy a pat on the back, then started to walk off
"Well the truth come's finally…yeah sure…but something's off about the situation"
The commander stops and turns towards the kid asking in a very serious manner "what do you mean?"
"Why would anyone want to delay the prophecy? I'm just confused."
Steve though for a second, looking over the teenager who was literally struggling to say standing from all the stress and lack of sleep. "Hey you know what? Go to my office and sleep on the couch there shouldn't be any glass shared on it. You need it," Steve lead the kid inside to his office and watch him just pass out on the couch.
"Wow you would make a good father someday." Danny commented,
Steve ignored the comment because he didn't know how to respond "so now to find Ms. Chase"
Well there you go ladies and gents the next chapter is up, I'm not going to make promises about when the next chapter would be up but I hope it would be soon since school is almost done…bye!
