Percy

I was sitting at the big house playing poker with Grover as he updated me on the search. ."Well, the nymphs think California. I've got people looking, pulling strings. And-" Lightning flashed. In front of us stood Zeus his suit.
"Underhill, leave us." Grover scampered off of the porch.
Zeus sat across from me. "Perseus. We need your help. Your father needs my help."
I set my cards down and walked inside. He followed me to the fridge and I grabbed a blue soda. I broke the cap off and tossed it behind me, hitting him with it. I strolled downtown the cabins, the whole time him ranting at me about how important this is. I saw Will and some of the other Apollo kids playing basketball. "Hey. Mind if I join?" I asked him.
He looked behind me and saw his angry grandfather talking to me. "Sure....?"
"Thanks. Hey, do you hear smething? A fly, maybe?"
"An angry god?"
"No, no, no. It sounds like an ass. So, what are the teams?"
Will just stared at Zeus, who was still talking. "Um, shirts and skins. Youll be skins to make it even." I pulled off my shirt and tossed it behind me, landing on Zeus's shoulder. His arm sparked and the shirt slid down.
We started playing, the others always glancing at Zeus but not willing to make me mad. Zeus was yelling now.
"You can still save her!"
I turned to him. "What did you say?"
"Nevada. The Wilderness School. The unclaimeds can help you find her. Make sure they get here safe. When we meet again, Perseus, you shall not feel this way towards me. You father says.... 'Sup, dude.'..."
He vanished.
"So.... I'm guessing his not getting a card for grandfather's day?" Will asked.
I was staring at the horse stables. "Hey," I said distractedly, "can I borrow your chariot?"
"Sure. Bring her back." He clapped me on the shoulder and I ran to the stables.
"Hey, Skittles!" Bush glared at me. "Hey, bud. You and me are going on a little trip to Nevada. The Wilderness School sound familiar?"
"We have a protector and three posssible demigods there. Why?"
"Grandpappy felt bad that he kidnapped my girlfriend. At dawn we ride." I jogged off to my cabin and he sighed and rolled his eyes to Olympus.
