A/N: I own nothing. Enjoy!


"What do you mean, you can't find it?" Percy asked through the phone.

"That's just the thing. I swear I saw a bracelet on her hand as well. There certainly was something like a crescent or scythe shape charm on it." Hazel's voice was frustrated. "But when I looked through the evidence bags, I couldn't find it."

"Do you think it was lost?"

There were some sounds of shuffling as Hazel shifted through the plastic bags of evidence.

Hazel sighed. "Gods, I hope not. Do you know how much trouble we'd be in? But the thing is, even if we we don't have the physical bracelet, we should have the pictures we took of the victim's body. But I looked through everything on the camera three times, but there wasn't even a single picture of a bracelet or Silena's wrist. Even the full body pictures don't have a good angle of her wrist. But...," Hazel paused. "I could've sworn Frank and I took more pictures than what we have right now. I recall snapping some images of the full body that aren't here now."

Percy frowned. It wasn't like Hazel and Frank, who were some of the most meticulous and detail-oriented people he had ever met, to lose such precious evidence. "Did someone accidentally delete the photos?"

"That's a possibility, but wouldn't someone speak up about it? Besides, if someone accidentally deleted pictures, wouldn't a huge chunk of pictures be gone and not a few sporadically here and there? It's almost as if...nah, that couldn't be it."

Percy could tell what Hazel was thinking. It was almost as if someone deliberately deleted those pictures. But who in the FBI unit would do that and why?

"All right, thanks Hazel. Let me know when the official autopsy results come out."

"You got it, Percy."

Percy sighed as the phone call ended on the car monitor.

"No leads?" Annabeth asked.

"None."

The two were on their way to Drew Tanaka's vineyard in Suffolk County. She had been the last person Silena had called. In addition, there was something strange that Percy and Annabeth had discovered, though Percy wasn't sure of it's significance.

Silena Beauregard had a hefty collection of wines stored in her wine cellar. But out of all the wine that Silena had, not a single red wine came from Drew's vineyard. However, the twenty or so white wine bottles all came from Drew's vineyard, including the empty chardonnay found by Silena's body. According to Annabeth, Silena preferred red wine. So why those white wines? And why were they all from Drew's vineyard?

In another hour, they soon reached the vineyard.

"Wow." Annabeth said softly.

Percy was inclined to agree with her amazement at the scenery. Fields of grape vines in neat rows covered the landscape as far as one can see. Now that it was autumn, workers were bringing in the last batches of grapes. There was a crisp chill in the air, signifying the change into winter. It was a peaceful atmosphere.

Annabeth and Percy got out of the car.

"Excuse me, is Ms. Drew Tanaka here?" Annabeth politely asked a nearby worker.

"Up there." The worked pointed to the main house. There was a dark haired woman standing by the porch.

As they approached the house, the woman gave a little yelp and quickly dashed inside. Percy and Annabeth looked at each other as the woman slammed the door.

"Um, Ms. Drew Tanaka?" Percy knocked on the door.

"Go away!" Came the muffled response.

"Please, may we talk to you?" Annabeth pleaded. "We left a message on your phone."

"No! I told you already I know nothing!" The woman said.

"Already? But we've never talked before." Percy replied.

They'd called Drew's phone earlier and had gotten no response. Fearing a situation like Silena's or Beckendorf's would occur again, Annabeth and Percy had headed to Drew's vineyard home in a rush after Drew wasn't found at her upscale New York City apartment.

A window next to the door opened a crack, and a wary face appeared after the curtains were moved apart. Objectively, Drew Tanaka was quite beautiful, just like her half-sister, though in a more haughty way in Percy's opinion. He briefly wondered how strong the siblings' mother's genes were in passing her beauty to her daughters.

"Still, I don't know you two." Drew's eyes scanned both him and Annabeth up and down through the glass.

Percy pulled out his badge closer to the window. He took note of Drew's flinching reaction as she jerked back from the window pane. "We're not anyone strange, ma'am. I'm Agent Jackson. We wanted to ask you some questions regarding your sister."

"I'm Annabeth. We met briefly at the Underworld club, remember?"

Drew hissed. "Don't even mention that club!"

Percy and Annabeth exchanged glances. "What do you mean, Ms. Tanaka?" Percy asked.

"You want to know? Investigate that club instead of bothering innocent people like me!" Drew said indignantly. She stared at Annabeth. "You shouldn't go there anymore if you know what's good for you."

"Why, what's wrong with the club? Have people been bothering or threatening you?" Annabeth said.

Drew bit her lip and a frightened expression came over. "I'm keeping my lips sealed. You saw what happened to Silena after she was planning to talk..."

"About Silena, you were the last person she called though you didn't pick up. Do you know why?"

The black haired woman shook her head. "Just go away, okay? P-please. I don't want any more trouble."

"Is someone threatening you? We could offer you protection-"

Drew scoffed. "Police protection? That's worthless. I'd be dead in less than a week. You should look into your own force first."

Percy was already beginning to have dark thoughts after his conversation with Hazel. Drew seemed to implying that there was a mole or someone suspicious on the police or FBI force. And indeed, since Hazel was sure about seeing a bracelet on Silena's body, then only someone on the police force could have accessed the gathered evidence to take out the bracelet and even delete the pictures out of the camera.

"Please, whatever information you have can help tremendously. We're going to catch your sister's killer, no matter what. But we need your help," Annabeth implored.

"Why should I care about her?" Drew muttered.

Percy got the feeling that Drew Tanaka was not close to her half-sister.

"Did you know that Silena doesn't like white wine?" Annabeth asked.

Drew blinked at her. "Of course. That's why I send her white wines all the time."

"What? Why would you do that?"

A shrill laugh escaped from the woman's mouth. "Oh please. Silena and I disliked each other the moment we learned of each other's existence. Why would I send her wines she liked?"

Percy recalled the empty chardonnay bottle next to Silena's body. "Is this a bottle from your brand?" He pulled up the picture of the chardonnay on his phone.

"Yeah, so?"

"It was found next to her body." Percy said. "She may have been drinking your wine."

Drew's dark eyes glared. "Silena absolutely hates white wine. There's no way she'd be caught drinking that bottle, no matter how high quality my product is."

"It's possible that the killer grabbed a bottle of the chardonnay without realizing Silena wouldn't drink white wine when he was trying to make it look like Silena was drunk." Annabeth said to Percy.

He had come to a similar conclusion as her. "The killer must not know Silena well then." Percy murmured.

"Are you done asking questions?" Drew seethed. "My life is in danger the more I talk to you guys."

"One last question." Annabeth took a deep breath. "What do you know about a scythe symbol?"

Percy was worried. So far, he wasn't sure how the scythes connected in the case. But when dots appeared twice, they were a coincidence. But now that they appeared three times, a scythe in Annabeth's mother's death, and now two scythes in their current case, Percy wasn't so sure things were coincidental any more.

Drew's eyes went dark and fearful. "I-I don't know what you're talking about."

It was obvious she was lying. "Ms. Tanaka, we need your help. Any info or clue is worth looking into."

The woman peered nervously through the window. "Kronos. That's what you should look into the scythes for."

"Kronos? The Titan who ate his own children?" Annabeth wondered.

"I've said enough."

Drew slammed the window closed. The curtains were pulled closed promptly after.

After a few minutes of trying to get Drew to come out, Annabeth and Percy had no choice but to leave the vineyard.

The ride back into the city was full of hypotheses and theories.

What was it that Drew, Silena, and Charles Beckendorf had found out? What was the secrets that had gotten two to be murdered, and a third nearly in hiding? And who or what was Kronos?

There were a couple things to be sure of though. The Underworld was connected and there was an information leak in the police enforcement. But who could it be?

Percy's mind immediately went to Asher and his rude ass. Perish that thought, Percy told himself firmly. Just because Asher is an asshole doesn't mean he's unscrupulous. There's no proof that Asher's the mole out of all the agents.

"So," Percy asked Annabeth. "How do you feel about going clubbing tonight?"


A/N: To the reviewer who asked what time I update on Sundays and Wednesdays, I'm sorry, I don't really have a set time because I have to manage between a full time job and other things. I know that we all have different time zones as well, so the stories may update Mondays and Thursdays for you.
