A/N: Hey guys! So sorry this is so short! To make up for it I posted another chapter as well!
Here ya go:
Percy POV
No way! I thought. There is no way Annabeth would stand-in to get almost murdered.
I said as much ,"No way, not you Annabeth."
"Percy there is no one else-"
I cut her off, "are you telling me there is not a single other blonde police officer in this force."
Annabeth just shook her head, "It's not about-"
I cut her off again, "You are not going to risk your life-"
This time she cut me off, "Percy I risk my life everyday! I'm in the police force for god's sake."
"So you are just going to go and willingly put yourself in danger!" I almost shouted.
"It's to catch a murderer, to save a life!" She argued back.
"And what if you get hurt, what if you lose your life!"
"I'll be fine-"
"You don't know that! I.." I stopped and took a breath turning away from her, "I.. I don't know what I would do if something happened to you."
She calmed down to and put a hand on my shoulder forcing me back to face her. "Don't worry Percy. I'll be fine. You know I can take care of myself." I did know that, she was perfectly capable for fending for herself. She was strong, but that didn't mean I would like her to go and put herself in danger.
She put a hand on my cheek and turned my head so that I was looking at her.
"Besides, " she added, "You'll have my back, every step of the way." I sighed. She was right. I would be there to make sure nothing happened to her. And if that scumbag so much as touch a strand of her hair, let's say he would regret it.
"Okay," I said giving in. She smiled and squeezed my hand.
"Let's go tell the Captain and Malcolm." We had stepped out of the room before we had began our argument.
"I'll do it," Annabeth said firmly as we reentered the room.
"Are you sure, you don't have to do this Annabeth," the Captain asked.
"I'm sure."
"Well that makes things easier. We'll need to bring someone in to get you ready-"
"I'll take care of that sir," I said, "I know just the person."
The captain nodded, "and we'll need to go over some basics."
"We can call in a friend of mine who is a fighting expert sir," Annabeth said.
"Okay, and that's all for now. Get a good night's sleep, tomorrow is the big day, so-to-speak." Then the captain and Malcolm left leaving Annabeth and me alone.
"You sure about this right?" I half-heartedly asked her, knowing she would say yes.
Annabeth saw through that and smiled, "Yes, you know that's not going to change."
"Well worth a try," I said as we headed out the station. We got to our cars. I didn't want to leave her though.
"Bye Annabeth, see you tomorrow," I said against my will.
She smiled back, "Bye Percy." But as I turned to leave she called me back ,"Percy?"
"Yeah," I said as I moved back to her.
"Thank you," she whispered in my ear, kissing my cheek. And I couldn't get the grin off my face no matter how hard I tried.
