Hidden Angel

Chapter 1 Missing momory

This started out with me listening to my iPod and the song "Out there" from Disney's The Hunchback of Notre dame came on and I thought hey maybe I could do a story similar with Nico and Minos and instead of being deformed he can see ghosts! But then it somehow became this and it resembles more the story of Rapunzel, but hey I'm good with that too! Also this is a human AU.

I own none of the characters recognised in this story, or the titles listed above!

Warning: death, kidnapping, forced drug use (pharmaceutical), and various illegal happenings.

RATED T (pg. 14 maybe?)

"Fatal car crash kills a Los Angeles family of three." Reads the headline on the front page of the newspaper. "During a family outing a woman and her two children were struck by an oncoming vehicle and rolled off the side of the highway making recovery difficult. First responders report that the driver of the other vehicle made it out with minor injuries but the woman and daughter were pronounced dead on the scene, the son was taken to hospital but later succumbed to his injuries and died. When told of the tragic loss, the husband and father of the deceased, Hades di Angelo refused to speak with reporters, wishing to be alone with his grieving."

Minos smiled to himself as he read the morning paper. Of course he already knew about the fatal crash, he had been one of the first responders on the scene. The paper said that none of the family of three had survived but that wasn't necessarily true, yes the mother and daughter had died on scene and the son was rushed to the hospital, but he did not die.

Minos had connections in that hospital and had them take care of the boy and make it look like he had died, knowing that the medical examiner would have to fill out a report, he had paid him off to make the report similar to the other two in order for it to be more believable, the father in his grieving would wait before claiming the bodies of his family.

In the meantime Minos had brought the boy to a secluded motel on the outskirts of town. Despite what was in the medical report, the boy had actually sustained little injury during the crash, he had hit his head and was unconscious and unresponsive when help had arrived and remained so until shortly after arriving at the hospital, after that he had been put into a medical induced coma and made to appear to have slipped away in his sleep (that doctor had been paid off too.)

Years ago Minos had worked for a large company owned and run by Hades di Angelo, one of the most powerful business owners in the country, Minos had been fired when it was discovered that he had been cutting corners and falsifying reports in order to steal money among other things. He had also been paying people off if any got wind of what he was doing, but somehow still word of what he was doing had reached Hades and in order to not cause a huge incident he had been fired and banned from employment under Hades or his brothers who were also big business owners, which unfortunately meant many of the large scale companies around the country.

He had thought of many ways to strike back at Hades but had never dreamed that something like this would present itself to him! To think he now held the life of Hades' son in his hands, it wouldn't take long for them to figure out that the death was faked and that the boy was missing, but it would take longer still for them to trace it all back to him; not that it would do them much good, he had changed his name and address long ago.

After making sure that the boy would not wake up for some time yet, Minos went to turn in his letter of resignation saying that the stress of the job and the emotional turmoil after responding to the crash had been too much for him, no one would question it because seeing something like that could be hard for anyone to handle. Then he headed home and packed up what he needed, luckily this was just a temporary home and didn't hold much of his belongings so packing was quick and easy.
