WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE HIM? WHY COULDN'T IT BE SOMEONE ELSE

As healers checked us out, we told, well more so I told them about the quest.

Mid way through of telling them about the fight with the Colchian Dragon, Reyna bursted through the door.

"We have a problem." She said, clearly out of breath.

Jason perked up, "what's wrong?"

"Nathan, Michael and Hazel are in jail."

No one moved. No one said anything.

The healers were first to move. They excused themselves and left the room.

"Hazel? As in sweet girl Hazel?" I asked. Reyna nodded her head, clearly shocked as well.

"My sister is in jail? For what?" I asked, getting up from the bed.

"I don't know, all I know is that they're at Central Police Station on Vallejo St. They need to be bailed out."

I looked at Micah and he held the truck keys. He turned to Leila.

"Go, I'll make sure everything's fine here." She told him. He gave her a quick kiss and we walked out the Principia.

We were given some weird looks as we ran to the truck. Jason and Reyna went in the back, as Micah and I got in the front.

Micah drove as I called Hades.

"Dad," I said when he picked up.

"Astra?" He asked, confused.

"Yeah! Look, can you wire me a good two million." I said, biting my lip.

"Why do you need so much?" He questioned.

"You're not gonna like it..."

He sighed. "What happened?"

"Hazel and two of my friends are in jail and they have to be bailed out. We're not sure how much it is... so to be safe can I get two million? I swear, I'll pay you back, and send you any left over money."

"SHES WHERE?" He screamed, I had to pull the phone away from my ear. I grimaced at how angry he sounded.

"Dad look, you can be mad later but right now I gotta get her out of there."
