When mortals meet demigods

Chapter 15

Annabeth's Pov

The car ride was silent which in my case was bad. It gave me too much time to think about what could happen if I didn't get there in time. It also made me realize that this is not how I imagined my first time in hand cuffs would have gone.

I shifted around in the back seat. Sitting with your hands cuffed behind your back isn't necessarily comfortable. The car came to a quick stop and I hit the back of the metal cage that separated the front from the back of the car.

"Ooowww! You could be a little easier on the brakes next time or go through the yellow light." I muttered.

"Sorry! We officers are here to enforce the law not brake them."

"But still you could have slowed down before coming to a stop."

"Ms. Chase do you know a car works? Or that a light can change color in an instant?"

"Unfortunately yes but I don't tend drive."

"Then how do you go places?"

"Percy normally drives, he doesn't like it when I try and drive. If I get the keys first he normally pouts until I give him the keys."

"He sounds like a gentleman!"

"He is!" I said with a sigh.

"Soooo..."

"'Soooo...' what?" I questioned.

"What is your plan?"

"What plan are you referring too?"

"Idk maybe the one where your supposed to stop your boyfriend from freaking out? And besides how come a teenager has post war level PTSD?"

I knew that question was coming, I just wasn't sure when. "I have it covered. As for Percy, we went through Hell last summer and it took its toll on us. But we survived it just like we always have done."

"Wait 'we'?" He looked up into his rear view mirror, "You both have PTSD?"

"Unfortunately yes. Percy's got it way worse than me but it's still there. I can feel it start to push through during the day but that's when Percy realizes and reminds me that we are safe!" I could feel my chest start to tighten as the flashes from last summer began to flood my vision. I quickly closed my eyes and shook the memories away.

"Yeah I can see that! Were you guys like kidnapped or something"

"Percy was, sort of, but when we found each other again the fate's ruined our lives once more!"

"How was your boyfriend 'sort of' kidnapped?" He questioned once again looking into his rear view mirror.

"Well this lady, who is technically his aunt but he doesn't see her that way because it's complicated, anyways she kidnapped him and at the same time he had amnesia. Do it was just a big mess!" I quickly explained.

"That does sound complicated but did you guys file any paperwork or push charges against her?"

"No, you can't really charge her with anything. She would just make it disappear."

"Not under my precinct! Exactly how long was he missing?"

"About 9 months but like I said before 'we are fine'."

"9 months!" He said as they pulled into the hospital parking lot, "She could possibly be facing 15 years jail time. Kidnapping isn't joke, I will have a sit down with you when we get back to the station. As of right now you stay here and I will go inside."

I shot forwards to look at him "what! No! Im coming with you, this is not what I agreed to!"

"It is, im just gonna walk inside and see if he's here. If he isn't I'll have them find out where he is and I will take you to him. Ok?"
