The next day, the whole gang was brutally shoved into what seemed to be a van. Percy and Annabeth were seated next to each other, and he held her hand. She cried. Softly, but she did. And when the guard realized it, he shouted at her to stop.
When the van jolted to a stop, Annabeth grabbed Percy's hand and whispered into his chest.
"Now."
They had planned this earlier. As soon as the truck stopped, Annabeth would signal him. He would signal Jason, and so on, until all of seven knew. Then the boys would pretend to hug their wives/fiances/girlfriends. The girls would quickly untie the boys bonds, and the boys would get the guards. When that was over, they would jump out and run. Run to wherever they could go.
Percy's shoulder bumped Jason's. He bumped Leo, he was to short to bump Frank's shoulder, so he stepped on his foot.
They turned. Percy took Annabeth's hand and pulled her close. He raised his hands to her chest and she did the same. Quickly, she untied the ropes. She glanced around to see the other girls doing the same thing. They nodded at her, and she touched Percy's cheek.
"Be careful, okay?"
"I know Wise Girl. I love you." He touched her growing belly. "And them too. More than anything."
He turned and pulled Riptide from his pocket. BANG! One of the men shot his gun.
"PERCY!" Annabeth screamed and ran to his side. Blood was seeping through his shirt.
