Let's Get Revenge

San Francisco: Part 2

After the pizza was gone, Fred brought Sally to their guest room and helped her unpack. The two talked about many things, but Sally's offer was not one of them. It was clear that Fred had no idea how to respond. After the twins got back and everyone went to bed, Joyce took the opportunity to talk to her husband.

"Fred?" asked Joyce, lying in bed.

"Yes honey?" Fred responded.

"What did Sally say to you?"

Fred hesitated before answering. Should he tell her? It might cause Joyce to kick Sally out of the house, but he decided she deserved to know. 

"Well, she told me how Percy was killed. Apparently Zeus was arguing with him, and summoned a lightning bolt to kill him. In front of Sally." He paused before continuing. "Sally asked me to help her get revenge against the gods."

Fred turned to see Joyce with her mouth gaping, before she closed it and responded.

"She - she asked you to get revenge - against the gods?" Joyce asked.

"Yes"

"Did you say yes?"

"No, I didn't" said Fred, "I told her that I needed some time to make my decision."

Joyce let out a breath. Then she asked, "Well, what do you want to do? Do you want to help her?"

Fred thought about this, he could help her. He could make sure she doesn't do anything too rash. But if the gods found out about these plans then he could be in danger. He voiced his concerns to Joyce.

"Fred, if you want to help her, then do it. I might even join in this whole thing. Sally might drop this whole idea, but if she doesn't, then we can make sure she doesn't do anything horrible."

The conversation ended at this, and they both went to sleep. Fred had a dream about the gods finding them out and getting killed.

***

The next morning, the five of them ate breakfast. After the twins left, Sally brought up her request.

"So, I'm guessing you told Joyce last night what I asked you" Sally told Fred.

"Yes, and I have my answer. I will help you on this, but on one condition. Any plans you make, you have to show me first. If I think that the plan is too dangerous for us or is too much, then you don't go through with them. Do we have a deal?"

Sally thought about this before responding. "Deal. Anything else you need to say?"

"Actually, yes" said Joyce. "I would like to help also."

Sally hid her excitement that she was gaining two recruits to her cause, and kept her neutral expression. "You may join as well. Anything else?"

"No, that is all" Fred responded.

"Great, we can begin planning later today, as long as it's fine with you guys." Sally said.

"Sure, it's fine" said Joyce.

"Great, I will make cookies"

A/N ~ Hi everyone! Sorry for the short chapter. It wasn't as easy to write as the last one. a bunch has happened in the past few days and I don't feel like explaining so I'm just going to do a short explanation. Went on a one night vacation in Airbnb. My mom let me bring a friend. We had fun. Ate a lot of crap yesterday. Came home. Went to sleep. Woke up at 1 AM very nauseous. Vomited all over my room from the top of my loft bed. My mom cleaned it. I slept on the couch. Haven't puked since so I'm not sick. My room smells horrible so I'm writing in my younger sister's room. Going roller skating later with a few friends because one of my besties is moving away in like a week. Very sad. So anyway, that's what's happening. Comment what you think of this chapter. Was it good? Was it bad? Please vote. Thanks!
