Witness Protection

Chapter 18

PERCY POV

I was still in the waiting room, but Thalia and Nico were huddled by me. We were going over our plans to save Annabeth. Thalia was able to trace where the video came from, and apparently it was an old abandoned warehouse on the shore of Long Island sound. It was weird for me to know that the enemies HQ is right next to the camp I was working at.

Thinking about camp, I hope that the councilors, Adela and Aaron are okay. I hope they're not too worried about us. It would be weird to know that the restaurant that your councilor was at had just been raided with people armed with guns. But trust me, I've been there.

"We need to be careful. These people are armed and dangerous, and this could be the end of us." Thalia said, looking at both Nico and me. We smiled and got back into our work. We would save Annabeth, no matter what happens. I cannot live without her.

Thalia, Nico, and I were packing our bags. Juni still hasn't gotten out of surgery, so Grover is staying with her. If you ask what we were packing our bags with… we would say "Guns. Now leave me alone." It was quite different actually.

I grabbed my 357 caliber, and put it in its carrying bag. Then I strapped it around my shoulder. Time to go save my girl. My life. My Annabeth.

ANNABETH POV

I was in the little cage that they pass as a cell. Honestly I'd hate to see the things that they pass as a cage. I'm glad that they don't keep me in one of those.

"CHASE!" A guard yelled. I looked at him through the bars.

"What do you people want?" I asked, sounding really irritated. Good, cause I was.

"We need to transport you to another room." The guard explained. He was obviously new. I think I could use that in the near future. I mean, surely after that Percy will come after me.

I walked with the guard to the room that he led to. Pretty amazing right? I sat down in the chair given. "Why am I here?" I asked to no person in particular.

"Because, my grandson will come after you. And when I have him, his father will call off the group trying to track me down." A voice said from the shadows. I looked and saw a man in a mask. It was a golden mask… it matched his eyes.

I gasped at recognition. Kronos, aka, Percy's grandfather. And he wanted Percy. "Why don't you just be nice?" I asked, I could tell from his expression, he didn't get that much.

"My father tried to kill me. So I killed him first. I met with some people, and we got this group started. The main reason though? Money. I get lots of it. It's ironic how my son, who I had trained, ended up creating an organization that was trained to kill me." Kronos explained, fiddling with his fingers. I smiled a dark smile. I was shocked, because I never do that.

"Your mafia killed my mother." Venom came out with my words, "I never knew her."

"Try having parents who want to kill you." He sat up in his chair.

"Atleast you have them." I spat.

"TAKE HER AWAY!" Kronos bellowed. What a wimp. I laughed and smiled. I got to him. The person that the FBI cowers at! I had got to him!

"You missy, will be kept in a special room for now on." The guard who was dragging me along told me.

"What special room?" I asked, giving him an odd look. He just smiled and threw me into a room that was dark. But had a single spotlight on a chair. What's with these people and chairs?

They strapped me in and waited. But what were they waiting for? They could just kill me now.

All of the sudden the door swung open. Luke.

PERCY POV

I was in my car, driving at speeds that were most defiantly illegal. I'm lucky I had my police lights. Or else I would be doomed.

"Turn left." The GPS told me. I made a sharp turn left, causing Thalia and Nico who were in the back doing who knows what hit the side door.

"Less sharp turns please!" Thalia said sarcastically.

"Shut up."I grumbled. I just went faster though. It was too fun to stop.

After twenty minutes of constant thuds and sharp turns, we were at the warehouse. Thalia would take the security cameras, and give us the word when someone was near.

Nico would take the back exit, and go through there. He looked at the blueprints and knew any escape exits he may need to use. I did too, but I would be working to Annabeth on the front entrance, so it would be hard to get through. But Nico had something to live for. And I really didn't now.

I mean, Annabeth could get along in life without the constant chatter of me. I mean, all of my actions are pretty stupid. That's one thing that she wouldn't miss. I would miss her though, in the afterlife… if there is one for me. I mean, think about how many men I'd wounded and killed. That is the work of a monster.

I looked at the warehouse I knew that my Annabeth was in there, and waiting for me. I knew that if I wanted too… she could get out alive. I could too, but I am not leaving without Annabeth.

Thalia and Nico kissed and I got a hug. We ran to our positions, waiting for Thalia to tell us if it's in check for us to go in.

"GO!" I heard Thalia yell, and I ran in. I held my gun close to me, ready to fire. No one was in sight. Remembering the blue prints, I ran up the stairs.

"Percy, they are holding Annabeth in lockdown cell three." Thalia said. I heard her from a microchip I had in my ear, allowing her to hear my conversations, and I can hear Nico and Thalia. To me, it's a pretty kick butt gadget.

I knew where she was. It was to the left, and you take the next right, then you go to cell 3… Annabeth would be in there.

"PERCY! NICO! THEY'RE STRAPPING HER DOWN!" Thalia yelled, clearly enjoying this like a movie.

I started running and saw cell 3. I looked in through the window on the door, and saw Luke talking to Annabeth. What really got to me was Annabeth's face. It wasn't in terror. It was of strength. At that moment I knew she deserved to be on my team. I just couldn't see it.

"Percy, there's a guard at the left 100 degrees, and there is one to the right, 120 degrees. Good luck." Thalia told me. I gulped and entered, shooting at the exact marks she told me. I hit them both.

"YOU!" Luke bellowed, eyes large with rage.

"Yeah. Me." I said, shrugging. I held up my gun, "Let Annabeth go." I said with a lot of venom. Usually I don't do that. But hey, it's my girlfriend.

"Let me think about that. NO!" He yelled, and reached for his ankle. A gun. I shot him in the leg. We still need him to get to my grandfather.

"Annabeth!" She was tied and gagged to the chair. I felt really bad. This was my entire fault.

"P-Percy!" She exclaimed in disbelief. I hugged and kissed her. She was here. And we were all right.

I pulled her up, and hugged her again. I started pulling her to the exit, and I heard Thalia yell. "PERCY!" She had hollered actually. Then I heard the gunshot. I pushed Annabeth down, and covered over her. Pulling out my gun, I took a shot at the person who had shot at me.

I looked at the ground to see Luke. He had a bullet to his chest, and a gun was sprawled on the floor just a few inches away.

I turned back to Annabeth, and saw blood on her shirt. "A-Annabeth! Are you okay?" I asked, appalled that right when I got her back I was going to lose her. Fiddlesticks. I searched for the wound and found… none.

"P-Percy!" I was getting dizzy. She sat up and cradled me in her arms. "Y-You can't leave me! You promised!" She was sobbing, and hugging me.

"I-I love you Annabeth." I said, looking into her eyes. "Live your life. Get a husband, have kids. Live your life. Not mine."Her tears were falling on my cheeks now.

"NO! PERCY! I CAN'T LOSE YOU!" She hollered, taking off her shirt that she was and applying pressure to my wound.

"Sorry. Tell my mom and dad that I love them, please?" I asked, and she shook her head.

"You aren't dyeing!" Annabeth yelled, shaking me a bit. I was going to miss her. My life flashed before my eyes.

Annabeth and I's first kiss. My first time meeting her. Fighting. Her laugh. Her smile. Her… everything. It all disappeared and turned black. That is when I knew… that I was really dead.

Sorry about that! I had to do it! Read the next chapter and if you love Percy, you'll love it!
