HAHAHA! Last chappie ended on a somewhat cliffie, nothing compared to what is going to happen! THALIA AND JUNIPER ARE IN THE GAME NOW TOO! Okay, as you know, writer010 is coming over and sleeping over. We're having a sleepover, and most of the time, we'll be typing. K? So don't worry, I won't forget about you. Christmas documents will be written ahead of time, so I can get them up. My problem is I have to go to a party, and I MIGHT forget to write, so don't let me! I tend to have a brain the size of a walnut.

Witness Protection

Chapter13

PERCY POV

"Thalia? Juniper?" I asked, and got a nod in response from Juniper. Thalia smiled.

"I couldn't tell you, sorry Perce. Your father sent me undercover, so I could scope out a safe spot in case things don't go according to plan. And I think that we're heading down that road." Thalia told me. I nodded and looked at Juniper. I thought she was a doctor?

"Juniper, what are you doing here? I thought you are a doctor?" I asked and she sighed. I could see a dreamy look in her eyes.

"I had to play doctor, so incase Luke or any other man of Kronos came, I could be right on top of things." Juniper told me, "What about your friend Grover? Is he here too?" I think I heard some hope in her voice. OOH! Grover got him a follower!

"Yeah, he's in the kitchen with Annabeth and Nico." At the mention of Annabeth, I saw Thalia and Juniper visually shrink. NICO GOT ONE TOO!

I smiled and walked in the kitchen, the girls following close behind. Eager much?

I walked to Annabeths side and whispered in her ear, "Make the girls jealous… flirt with Grover and Nico." Annabeth just gave me a questioning look, but did as I asked. What a loving Girlfriend.

Annabeth was practically all over them. It was hilarious to see the glares that Juniper and Thalia were giving her, and the shocked glances to me from my buds. I just leaned against the counter and enjoyed the show.

Annabeth was stroking Grover's arms and whispering in his ear. I had to hold back a laugh. Grover looked terrified.

Next victim was Nico. Annabeth leaned her head on his shoulder, and kissed his cheek. It was an obvious friend gesture to me and Annabeth, but to the rest of the people in the room… it was a shock to see. Annabeth just walked back to my side and sat on the counter next to me.

Juniper and Thalia were practically fuming, and Nico and Grover were giving me the look saying "did you just see your girlfriend do that?" I finally let out a laugh. Annabeth did too.

"Y-You should've s-seen your faces!" I laughed. Now, Nico and Grover were fuming, with Thalia and Juniper giving me a confused look.

"Juniper, Thalia, Annabeth is my girlfriend." I said, but soon followed after, "And I made her make you jealous. I wanted to see if you liked these two dorks here." I gestured to Nico and Grover.

"Hey!" Nico and Grover said, finally catching on to me. "We are not dorks!" Annabeth and I shared a look.

"Then why are you wearing spaghetti noodles as dreadlocks for Captain Jack Sparrow?" I asked, directed to Nico.

"Touché."

We were all at the dining room table, after making Grover and Nico take a shower to get clean, so we don't have to deal with food on our new chairs. Not fun.

"So, how is this system going to work?" I asked, looking at the packet Juniper gave me.

"Well, I'll set up the system so there is one visible camera and one hidden camera in the same room. That way, if someone tries to get in and sees a visible camera, they'll think we're stupid, and didn't hide one somewhere." She explained. It did make sense. The people we were dealing with didn't have the smartest minds. They were trained to kill, not to do math.

Annabeth and Thalia talked a bit, and we all divided into our own conversations. I heard a beep come from the kitchen. "Pot pie's done." I said, standing up.

"I'll help." Annabeth said, standing up. I nodded and we walked into the kitchen. "Percy?" she asked once we were in the separate room.

"Yeah?" I asked, turning around to face her. She had this deciding face on.

"I want to be an agent like you." She said so fast, I almost didn't catch her.

"Annabeth, I don't want to pull you into my world." I said, taking her shoulders, "This line of work is very dangerous. You could be killed." I looked straight into her eyes. I saw determination.

"Then why do I let you do it then?" She asked me. Man that girl is smart.

"Because…" I couldn't come up with anything, she had me deadlocked.

"Exactly. Percy, if you are in this line of work, I want to be too. Thalia and Juni are also involved. That's what Thals and I were talking about." I nodded, and somewhat felt defeated. My wise girl is wise.

We pulled the pot pie out of the oven, and served it on plates. Each person had different colors. I had sea green, and Annabeth had gray. She told me that she liked the color. But when I looked closer at the plate, I noticed that the gray was the gray of a storm cloud, waiting to erupt.

We gave everyone food and said grace. Then we dug in. The pot pie was made by Annabeth and me, but mostly Annabeth. And boy was she a good cook. I guess cooking for Luke all those years was good on her.

I complimented her, and she blushed. Man, did that blush remind me of all the good things in life.

"So, Annabeth and I had been talking, and when all of this ends, who thinks Annabeth should become one of us. Let's vote." I said, getting down to the point. I noticed I tend to do that a lot.

Everyone looked at each other and Annabeth looked down. Her face was red. "I think that Annabeth shouldn't turn herself into a killing machine." Grover said, putting his fork down, "If she is going to join, I think that she should be an analyst. She does have the potential."

"I agree with Grover. If Annabeth is going to join, she should help out with evidence. I mean, that's what I do to." Juniper said, smiling at Annabeth.

Now the whole doctor thing made sense. She was the only person for her team that was qualified to be a doctor for a day.

Thalia nodded, "It would be good to have someone like Annabeth backing us up when we're in the field." Nico looked shocked.

He turned to Thalia, "You work in the field? I don't like it." He said, looking down at his food. He obviously was protective of her. I think that the others could see it too.

"Annabeth, I need to think about this. If someone knows where you live, and that you're on my team? I don't think I could live with myself." I said, looking at her straight in the eye, "If they get you…" my voice cracked. I couldn't think of what I would do without her.

After the guests left, and Juniper put the system up, Annabeth and I were sitting at the counter in the kitchen having milk. Hey, we wanted milk, okay?

"Annabeth… when this is all over, we will talk more about this whole you working for us thing." I said, looking at her lips.

"Percy, I think that we should do that too… but I just wanted to take it into consideration." She said, mixing her milk with the straw.

"I will talk about it. That's what I want you to know. I also want you to know that this is a dangeroius line of work, and not an easy one either."

"Percy, I just want to help put the people like Luke away. I want to say, that I am a hero." She looked into my eyes. "I want to be like you."

I looked into her eyes, "Why do you? I mean… my life is not perfect at all. You and my friends are the only highlights of my stupid old' life."

She shook her head in denial. Yeah… that's what it is… denial.

"Your life is not stupid, Percy. I think that it's good." She told me, snuggling her head in my shoulder.

"Okay, so I guess I never win." I looked at her and saw a loud, yet delicate, yawn come from her mouth. "Now, it's time to go to sleep."

She nodded and I carried her to bed and we fell asleep. In my head I knew that It was about to get a lot worse.

Hope you liked it! Tomorrow's chapter will hopefully have more action. I really like to write the action packed chapters in this story, so I think that you will see one soon. This chapter was supposed to be a filler, where you know more background info. about the characters.
