TUESDAY
"I require your particular talents in an endeavor."
Percy stopped middle step to see the guy in front of him. Nico was behind him, standing awkwardly, while trying to tell Percy something with his eyes. Percy narrowed his eyes at the guy, suspicious.
"What kind of endeavor??"
"Pirate shenanigans if you must know. High class hijinks, tip top tomfoolery, wholesome hooliganary, only the worst from the very best."
What is wrong with these people by not being direct?
"If you want my help, just cut the chase; I already have to deal with my Wise Girl using big words, I don't need it from you too."
"I'm assuming Wise Girl is the fine lady who has been accompanying you in the most various events."
Percy crossed his arms, his patience not being the most long.
"Yes, my GIRLFRIEND. And the reason I endure her big words is because I actually want to kiss her. And no offense, but you're not really my type, so just keep it simple."
The guy nodded, conceding.
"Simply put, I owe a debt of vengeance. Will you help me?"
He wants to avenge someone? So why came to us?
I have no idea.
Have I told you I hate being curious?
"This will likely get me into trouble, but okay, I'm listening."
"Do you know Vanessa?"
Percy's eyebrows shot up.
The skýla? Well, now we know why he came to us.
It only made me more curious.
"This will definitely get me into trouble, but I'm still listening."
The guy Percy still didn't know the name checked with Nico before speaking.
"Vanessa was... well, herself, to our... friend? No, acquaintance."
"Who?"
"Lucy. Short, Asian, long black hair, bright clothes."
"Yeah, I think I know who she is. And you want ME to make Vanessa pay?"
The guy shook his head.
"No, I was thinking more in a..."
"Careful with the big words."
"Partnership in crime."
Sounds interesting enough.
Are we really buying a fight that doesn't have anything to do with us?
"Maybe you could bring your old associates."
Percy raised one eyebrow, questioning.
"The red head, the girl..."
"Oh, the 3J!"
So?
They would love an excuse to prank Vanessa.
Fair enough.
Percy looked over to Nico. He wanted to know if the son of Hades was there by his own will. Nico nodded to him, agreeing.
"Yeah, ok, I can ask them."

He closed the door and went to his bedroom, where he threw his backpack and skate inside, before going back to the living room.
