Chapter 9 ~ Trouble in Manhattan
Sadie Kane
Right after we ended our Rainbow message with Annabeth, I immediately went to grab my bag and stuff it with the things scattered in my room. Blocks of Wax, Papyrus with a stylus, my wand, some extra shabti and a few potions I managed to mix up a few days ago.
Carter like wise without another word went to his room, probably packing up magic stuff although I assumed his was already neatly arranged and ready somewhere in his room.
I dressed in my favorite jeans and combat boots with a shirt and a light jacket over it. I know we are superposed to not wear anything besides Linen but, hey a magician got to be comfortable for more efficient magic.
Carter sensibly dressed likewise in jeans and shirt. I couldn't help but acknowledge he did grow a lot in the fashion department from the Junior professor Fashion to a regular teenager. Was it a side effect of having a girlfriend?
We stared at each other for a few moments in the corridor. A silent message passed through "We are definitely going to meet trouble while meeting the Greeks. It always happened... I am surprised that currently, no one has yet tried to forcefully stir up trouble to get us meeting.
We walked into Walt on the way out. He was carrying armfuls of Amulets and he was observing every single one of them while walking he didn't notice us pass by. I grabbed his arm and pulled him aside. He turned to me in surprise "Oh, Sadie..." He nodded to my brother beside me in acknowledgement "Carter."
We waited for a group of initiates to pass by before I said in a shushed whisper "We are going to Manhattan on a tiny mission."
He blinked "Uhh, for what?"
I asked "We told you about the stuff with the Greeks right?"
He nodded slowly reached out for another amulet "Uh huh... You mean what happened at the Race yesterday?"
I continued for Carter "We need to kinda meet the Greeks, Percy and Annabeth for this matter."
He asked frowning "So, do you want me to go with you?"
I shook my head smiling "No, nothing big is going to happen. I just want you to watch for anything suspicious heading towards Brooklyn house on the way out."
Walt nodded slowly, keeping his face straight "Okay, you can trust me on that."
I kissed him on the cheek "Thanks. Bye Walt!"
I swear his face turned red as we walked away. He called after me "Sadie! Be safe, don't do anything stupid."
I finally realized Carter's presence beside me. He glanced at me "You seriously had to do that?"
I raised my eyebrows "Do what?"
He rolled his eyes "Never mind."
I nudged him "I don't see you with Walt these days and, you're getting too awkward near him."
He laughed sarcastically "Sure. My best friend is dating my sister. Yeah, we're real close to each other."
Was he getting over protective? I didn't reply and we began our silent trip up the stairs. At the roof, Zia was practicing her fire magic. Several dummies we made were on flames as Zia threw fireballs at the remaining ones, setting them on flames.
