Chapter 3: Interigation
Annabeth's POV
I sat across from him in the cold metal room.
"Any reason you got me up at three in the morning?" I ask slumping against the cold metal table.
"I don't like being alone and you seem to keep good company." He says sarcastically. I glare at him. I stand over him leaning on the table.
"Listen here Jackson I'm not a force to be reckoned with." He smirks,
"What? You're not seriously FBI are you? That's a bit too big a title for you, don't you think?" I really wanted to beat him up now.
"Actually that's a disgusting title and I'm happy I don't wear it. No my profession is so much more interesting, sweetheart." His face shows a defeated look and I smirk finding myself once again victorious. "Now let's get on with the interrogation okay?" He nods.
"Your name is Perseus Jackson; mother Sally Jackson, Cousin Nico di Angelo, you all live underground in Manhattan correct?"
"Yes and a little scary you know this much, what organization are you with again?" He asks.
"I never told you. I know every trick in the book. Remember this is your interrogation not mine." I say. "You hate politics, despise the capital, you were currently engaged to a Rachel Elizabeth Dare but you called it off. Why?" He didn't look up. "I asked why?"
"About two months ago Rachel left again on one of her vacations but I thought this was strange because she claimed to be a helpless street urchin. I took her in; we fell in love, a tragic story really. Then one day I followed her on one of her "vacations", turns out she was going to capital parties and dancing with politicians. Her father is the senator of New York and after that I didn't want anything to do with her..." He sighed and leaned back in his chair with a pained look on his face. "So I threw her out and now she's engaged to Luke Castellan, the vice president's son.
"Well that must've been rough. Anything else I should know?" He shook his head. Static crackled over the speakers.
"Okay Annabeth, you can perform the brain erasing now." Chiron's sleepy voice said.
"Thanks Chiron. I should be fine you can go to sleep now. I'll make sure he finds his way out." I saw the worried look on Percy's face and I rolled my eyes. Once I saw the light go out in the observation room and heard the door slam I leaned down to whisper into his ear. "Look I'm not going to wipe your memory but when you get out of here forget about it all. If anyone ever asks you about what you were doing tonight, tell them a lie. Spies love lies." I say with a smirk and then lead him out of the room after a while.
"So you're a spy?" He asks in a quiet tone.
"Something like that." I then closed the tube door and he shot out of the man hole in the ground. "Bye, bye Percy." I say and lock the door.
When I finally caught up on my sleep I skipped to the kitchen. Reyna, Piper, Jason, and Leo were all around the table drinking coffee. They probably had had another late night retrieving more information on our newest target, the president. Leo had bags under his eyes and I think that if Reyna had one more shot of espresso she'd be bouncing off the walls, she was already shaking. Piper was slumped against Jason's chest and he had an arm around her. They were so cute together! It makes me wish I wasn't so alone sometimes.
"Late night?" I ask them and Leo groans.
"You wouldn't believe it. Do you know how hard it is to get any type of sound clip on the president? He has like a billion security guards! And it didn't help that Reyna was arguing with me." He grumbled.
"Oh please! You were the one arguing. 'Why can't we just light him on fire and run?'" Reyna said in her best Leo voice.
"Hey it could have worked!" He defends himself.
"Would you two shut up? It's too early in the morning for you to be yelling." Piper said exasperatedly and the room fell silent. Chiron slowly walked through the door.
"Thank you for filling out the reports on time Jason." He said and poured himself some coffee.
"But of course." Jason replies.
"So Annabeth, did our visitor get out safety?" Chiron asks with a knowing smile.
"Yeah, he did." I say but I can tell Chiron knows I didn't erase parts of his memory. "Sorry about that." I say and now Chiron had taken a more serious tone.
"What you did is dangerous Annabeth." He says and I can see the disappointment in them. He motions for me to follow him and soon we're in the control room. He sits down at a monitor and the pulls up the interrogation from last night. It goes from the questioning room, to the hallway, and finally to where he shot out of the ground. "He now has information on us. Maybe not the most important but if he wanted to he could probably find one of the tunnels again. He could be undercover from the CIA or something!" Chiron argues.
"He couldn't be! He left his ex-girlfriend because she was the senator's daughter!" I shouted back.
"It could all be an act! How would you know he's to trust?" Chiron asked pinching the bridge of his nose.
"I don't, he just…" I didn't know what to say.
"Annabeth save it." He walked over to the intercom and pressed the button. "All agents go to the meeting room we need to discuss a new mission." He stepped away from it and looked at me once more before walking out of the room an down the hall.
"Grrr!"" I yelled and kicked over a chair.
Chiron decided to punish me by putting me on the information gathering portion of work for a while. In case you haven't figured it out it's the most boring, agonizing part of the job. I have so many other talents! Right now I'm writing up one of the billion reports I have to finish. However, this one's interesting, it's on Percy. I need more info though and I know how to get it too. I'm going to break out. But first, I shall need a disguise!
I fled to my closet and looked at my many wigs and decided on black. I'd look like Reyna from the back so the security guards wouldn't question me. I popped in tow chocolate brown contacts and covered my pale skin in a tan powder. Now it's go time.
Hey guys sorry for the long wait, I've been really busy lately. Did you enjoy the new chapter? I feel it was more of a filler. Bye.
