Hey guys, we're really sorry we haven't posted in forever. I have just not had a lot of inspiration and with school sometimes, well most of the time I forget to even write it. But we will try to crank out at least one chapter every two weeks (no promises.) But thank all of you for still reading!

Nico P.O.V

Great. Just great. A week before winter break and I get another letter. What letter was this now? Like the eighth, I think. I grabbed it down from the door and hurry to my room.

Dear Nico,

This time it will be more difficult than putting laxatives in cupcakes. This time we want as much info on Drew as possible. Dig deep, get important things, and her weekly and daily schedule.

Sincerely, the B academy

Why Drew? She justarrived here and she isn't even a student. I didn't know and I didn't really care. If I just kept doing what they wanted they were sure to just let it go eventually and it would be over with. Right?

The next morning I woke up really early so I could see what time Drew got to work. I brought my drawing pad so I wouldn't seem as suspicious.

It was so fucking cold outside. I was even wearing a coat and I hate coats. But it was so cold, and I couldn't just wear my warm hoodie.

I sat down on a bench that was about ten feet away and started to draw my surroundings. That way I would notice if Drew came. I'd always liked drawing snowscapes anyway.

I had been able to draw a few trees and a pathway before Drew came. On a notepad I scribbled down that she comes to work around 6.

I wasn't sure if I should get more information or not, so I decided on just going to class.

After I'd walked for a minute I realized that I would have no idea when Drew left work. I turned back, and that was the moment I knew, I had to stop listening to them.

Annabeth P.O.V

I looked down at my watch - 2:00. I still had a half an hour till I had to relive Hazel of Charlie duty.

I looked up at Percy, working carefully to set up the pieces of the life board. "I don't think I have time to play Perce," I looked up and met his gaze.

"Please stay!" He gave me his best puppy dog pout. I didn't want to go anyway, so my will was easily overpowered.

"Fine. One game."

"We have to replay! You totally cheated!

"How can you even cheat at Life?! Besides stealing from the bank I guess, but you probably would catch me if I tried anyway." I laughed and checked my watch: 3:00. "I'm late to get Charlie!" I cried.

"Who's that?" Percy asked. Oh Gods, I messed up.

"He is my friend." I invented quickly, "He doesn't have a car. I have to go," I rushed away as fast as I could.

Percy could not find out. He couldn't, I won't let that happen again, ever.

Percy P.O.V

There was no way I couldn't find that weird. Gods, did she have a boyfriend?!

Annabeth doesn't seem like that kind of person though. But then again how would I know? I've never met anyone like that before.

What if I'm just her fallback if things don't work out with this Charlie dude?

What if I'm just second best?

I told myself not to care. I really, really liked Annabeth, and when has someone as incredible as her liked me, even as second best, before? I should have known honestly. She's way out of my league.

But first, I wanted to figure out who Charlie was for myself. No jumping to conclusions.

Looks like it's sleuth Percy time.

"Hey Piper, want to grab a cup of coffee and gossip?" I asked over the phone.

"Percy, there is honestly nothing I would love more." She exclaimed, "I'll be at Olympia cafe in twenty minutes."

I had been dying to tell someone about Katie and Travis, and I could also sneak in some questions about Charlie. It was a win-win.

"Katie and Travis?!" She said in an excited whisper, the whipped cream from her latte forming a mustache on her upper lip.

"Oh and I was just wondering who Charlie was," I asked casually, sipping my coffee.

Piper seemed shocked, off put. "No one," she stuttered. "Just uh...cousin, yeah," She looked pleased with herself. "Charlie is my cousin."

"I didn't even tell you their last name, how do you know I wasn't talking about someone from our school?" I leaned forward and raised one eyebrow,a skill I had acquired by hours in front of a mirror.

Piper looked at me and her eyes narrowed. "Why do you want to know?"

"I have my reasons." Gods she wasn't giving anything up. And Annabeth was dating Piper's cousin, great.

"And you're OK with him dating Annabeth?!" I mean I couldn't be the only one weirded out by that.

Piper looked surprised, and confused. "Uhh... Well you know young people, there is nothing I could do to stop them anyway." Nervous laughter. "But I don't really support it I could totally break them up," she wiggled her eyebrows at me.

Something was up, and I will figure it out. Time to change tactics. "Piper please," I used my puppy-dog eyes on her.

"Oh Percy," her eyes softened," I wish I could, but it's just too complicated."

I sighed, "Well I better just drop it then." That was a lie. I wouldn't stop until I knew the truth. "I'll see you next week for gossip."

"I really wish I could tell you, maybe eventually she'll get over L- uh- it."

L? That was suspicious. I have to get to the bottom of this. If something is up with Annabeth - well, I can't let anyone hurt her.

Unknown P.O.V

"That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard!" A shrill voice screeched. "We have so many professionals that could have stalked Drew, and you pick an unreliable source!"

"I think he would've gotten closer than our scout could have," I stated confidently.

"You imbecile! He didn't even interact with her! He probably gave us skewed data and you have wasted time, I'm kicking you off the Drew case."

I was shocked, "You can't do that!"

The figure smiled into the shadows, "yes I can, and I'm sure that Alpha won't protest a bit! You've been weighing us down with your stupid ideas for too long."

"I know too much!" I raised my chin haughtily.

"Unfortunately for you," the voice laughed, "We know more and we will destroy you."

"What about the boy?"

"Oh we don't care about him, do what you may."

Oh I will, and I will take Drew down myself.

Piper P.O.V.

"Annabeth!" I yelled. "I think Percy is onto us. You should just tell him."

I saw Annabeth in the living room, turn her head up to look at me. She got up and picked up Charlie, all the while muttering under her breath. She walked over to me.

"I accidentally mentioned Charlie's name when I had to go," she face-palmed and looked stressed.

"What did he say?"

"Wait, you didn't say anything about you dating Charlie?"

She looked at me, confused, "No...?"

I should probably tell her that Percy thinks that Charlie is my cousin and that she is dating him now.

I let out a nervous laugh, "Well uh . . . funny story . . ."

She groaned, "Gods Piper what in Hades did you do know?"

"I panicked and said that he was my cousin."

Annabeth's face relaxed, "That's not that ba-" "-But I also said that you and him were dating." I winced as her face contorted in rage.

"You did what!" She practically yelled, and she would of gone all out rage if she didn't have Charlie in her arms.

"Ooh, I see you're angry about this, which means you like him." I made a kissy face at her hoping that we would just laugh it off.

But unlucky for me I got Annabeth's angry glare,"You are not seriously joking about this now!"

"Well why else would you be mad?" I gave her my most innocent face.

Annabeth just sighed. "You may have a point Piper," Yes score! "But know isn't really the time in my life to have a boyfriend."

"Annabeth, there is never a wrong time for a boyfriend!" I tutted.

"You just don't understand Piper," she looked sad and lonely.

I sighed and got serious. "I know, you're right, I'm sorry . . . I guess I can never really understand."

She smiled sadly. "Why don't we all just watch some Wiggles, and by that I mean you two will watch," she handed me Charlie, "and I will do some homework."

"Hey Charlie baby want to watch some Wiggles?" Charlie looked up at me and coo'd excitedly.

''''

"Hey Piper, I have a quiz to take, make sure Charlie goes down for his nap will you?"

"Sure Annabeth. When is Hazel relieving me from duty?"

"Oh she's out doing a rock sample, you have Charlie for the next three hours, bye!" She hurried out the door.

"Well I guess it's just you and me kid," I looked at Charlie, "time to take a nap."

Nico P.O.V

Another letter! This was just getting ridiculous now. I didn't even have any info on Drew yet! How could I get her weekly schedule if it's only been a day!?

There wasn't much I could do though, so I just opened the letter.

Dear Nico,

Scrape the plans on following Drew. its not necessary. I want u to go into her apartment and trash her room. Thanks.

Sincerely the B acadumy.

(A/N don't tell us about the grammar and spelling mistakes up there, we know, it was intended.)

What the hell? Were they some kind of five year-old?! who the hell doesn't know how to spell academy, especially considering that's their name! They also mixed up 'scrap' and 'scrape'.

But no matter the level of their education, I couldn't let my secret get out. Guess it's time for a break-in. Wait- that's illegal, why the hell should I be doing illegal stuff for them?

But when I came out to my last set of friends, it didn't end so well. So I just have to do it. Anyway Hazel's my sister so it won't really be breaking in.

I donned a black hoodie-haha just kidding, I was already wearing a black hoodie.

I was right, I told them I was going to see my friend, and I even asked for their apartment number. Security sucks in this place. Or were they really the F.B.I, and they knew, but they were just trying to catch me red handed because the B academy was really a terrorist group! Oh I definitely had to add that to my conspiracy theory blog.

Luckily Hazel had complained that they key was to high to reach, up in a light fixture, Annabeth's idea of course.

Hopefully no one was in the house.

Wow this was too easy, an empty house, and not even a break in. Now just to find Drew's room. It was a super nice apartment, I had seen bits of it when I Skyped with Hazel, but it never looked this good. I walked quietly up the stairs, even though there probably wasn't anyone here. I knew that there was a guest room at the right end of the hallway, so that's probably where Drew was staying. I walked past a door when I heard wailing coming from inside, it sounded like a baby, that meant there were probably other people in here.

I quickly rushed in the room to silence it. I picked it up from its crib and started bouncing it up and down, so it wouldn't wake up whoever was here. It didn't work so well, as the baby kept wailing. I was at a loss. I didn't want it making noise! I put my hand over its mouth and that muffled its noise a little. It's little grey eyes shone up at me, asking me what I was doing.

I felt terrible, here I was about to vandalize Drew's room, and now I'm covering the mouth of a baby, what have I become? The baby had become quiet now, sucking on my finger. Wait, who in the hades baby is this!? I looked at it, its blonde hair and grey eyes. But . . . no way . . . It was - it had to be . . . Annabeth's . . .

Dun duh da da da da! Oooh Nico found out about Charlie! Will he tell? Who knows? Oh wait, we do.
