He quickly hailed a cab, and told him the address,
"34-27, Street, Manhattan", Percy told the driver, "and if you hurry, I'll leave you a good tip."
"At your service sir", said the driver.
When Percy arrived, he saw Annie anxiously waiting for him at the front door, wearing her school dress, bookbag ready, hair fixed, shoes worn, and an angry face waiting for him. He chuckled and remembered that Annabeth used to be like that too.
"What are you laughing about daddy, you're late! And don't think I'll forgive you that easily, so don't make up any excuses!", Annie angrily said.
"Sorry dear, I forgot about the time, you know how clumsy I am", Percy mumbled.
Annie softened at her daddy's remark, and said, "It's okay daddy, just make sure you're not late again."
As Percy was driving, they suffered an uncomfortable silence.
"What's wrong daddy, thinking about mommy again?", Percy didn't reply
"Please just try not to think too much about mommy okay? You know we both miss her and wish for her to come back", Annie said worriedly as thinking about her father.
"Thanks for making me feel better Annie, you know I love you", Percy, as grateful as can be for having a daughter like this. Annabeth would have been proud of her junior, Percy thought.
"Daddy, we're here, and remember, I love you too", Annie said, and kissed her father goodbye while getting out of the car.
"Bye honey! See you later!" yelled Percy.
When Percy went out to detective work, he glumly took out his folder and searched for the folder with the unknown name.
"Still wondering how she died aren't you Perce?" asked Rachel
Rachel is also a detective like Percy, she is smart, cool, and can also tell what will happen later at times, which I think is weird, but she is also fun and helpful.
"Yea Rach, but I still can't understand who would kill her. And even, did she have something to do with it, that she never told us? You gotta admit it's quite mysterious, isn't it?" said Percy.
"Yea true, but you do know she's not coming back right? You gotta move on Percy, and love other women, you know, and you can't just stay put on her forever", Rachel tells him flirty.
"Percy can love and care for anyone he wants to, right Perce? He doesn't need your advice", Thalia says.
Thalia is a women that is also a detective and Percy is her partner. She works all business and tells people how she feels about them straight out, she likes to argue until she has it her way, tells the truth, but she can also be fun and caring at times. And loves to mess with people.
"Why are you here Thalia?" Rachel says rudely.
"I'm here to tell Percy something privately. Privately, meaning with no one else Rachel", Thalia says.
Thalia also like to piss off people she doesn't like, like she did to Rachel. After Rachel left, they started their conversation:
"What's wrong Thalia, another mystery to deal with?" Percy asks.
"No Percy, I just want do tell you that Rachel is up to no good. She only wants to harm you Percy", Thalia says. "Only stick do what you believe, not what other people like Rachel think, k?" Thalia asks.
"Yea, I know, but give her a chance will you Thals, she's new here, probably not comfortable".
"But did you check her file, she doesn't even know how to solve a mystery, and she has no diploma."
"Really, I thought she knows everything, she's actually a big help in my office."
"Anyways, I think Rachel knows something about Annabeth, but is trying to hide it. Sounds weird, but it's true."
Percy trusts Thalia, because she never in her life told a lie and Percy believed her.
