Leo's POV

"Ah schist." I say out loud, when Sally comes back into the kitchen and gives me a look.

Sally rolls her eyes and gestures for me to get out of here.

I instantly start heading toward to window but Piper holds me back.

"Your not leaving me that easy, Valdez." She says, with a small smile.

Then she turns to Nico and says,"Just go from room to room, but stay in the apartment."

Nico rolled his eyes, but walked over to me and grabbed my arm.

He shadow traveled us to Percys bedroom as soon as Sally opened the front door.

"Hello, what's this about a boy?" I hear Sally say through the thin walls.

"Leo Valdez. He just turned 17 a few days ago."- Really? I haven't paid attention to the date-The man says clumping inside.

"Is he here? Short, Latino? Not very bright. Probably looks like he's been taking a stroll through a sewer."

"Hey!" I say before I could help myself. "I'll show you not bri-"

Nico clamps his hand over my mouth and shadow travels us to the kitchen.

Piper looks at us with surprise, but Nico says annoyed,"Make Leo shut up."

Piper rolls her eyes at Nico but turns to me and whispers, charmspeaking, "Shut up until I tell you otherwise, Leo. Now go, Nico."

I open my mouth to respond, but I can't speak.

I really hate charmspeak.

I stick my tongue out at Piper, before we're back in Percys bedroom.

"I've already told you I don't know the boy, and my son and his friends are here of course you're going to hear people talking."

"Take me to them."

I hear someone walk from to kitchen to the living room.

"Hello, what's this about?" I hear Paul say. A smile in his voice.

"A boy," the officer says impatiently. "His name is Leo Valdez, age 17. Curly, black hair. Skinny. Rude. Have you seen him?"

For a moment everything is quite, and I'm afraid Paul will confess and rat me out.

But then I hear Paul answer, no, and my heart goes back to its normal pace.

"I'd like to see everyone in your apartment right now, even so. I'm aware that your son has friends over, why?"

"School project." Sally replies quickly.

"How many kids?"

"Uh.. Seven. Though with these kids it seems like more." Paul answers trying to lighten the mood with a joke.

"Bring them here. Now." The officer orders.

"Yeah okay." I hear Sally mutter.

"Percy! Get in here with your friends."Sally shouts, though knowing full well they're right around the corner.

"Comin'!" I hear Percy yell back, and then I hear shuffling and the grunt of the police man, unconvinced.

"Is there anyone else here?" The rude police man questions.

"N-no. J-just us." Frank stutters, clearly lying.

"You better not lie to the law, boy-"

"He's not lying." Piper interrupts confidently. "There is no one else here."
