Cold

Ch. 7

  Percy's POV 

we got to the drop zone which was in an abandoned neighborhood. With a few seconds to spare and I took out Cold to check if our source was about to drop soon. It said that we had 50 seconds and I decided to use that time to give the others the game plan. Piper and Jason were going to hide in some bushes that surround the drop point. Leo and Nico were to hide in some abandoned buildings next to the drop zone. Thalia and Annabeth were then to just stand in the open with no cover.

"Wait so you want us to be bait?" Annabeth said sounding not pleased with the idea.

"Yes, do you have a problem with that?" I said smirking at her knowing that she must be furious.

"No." She said not furious but sounding a bit scared.

"Alright then. Grover you come with me we'll be in that building." I said pointing at an abandoned house with a clear shot of the drop zone if needed.

Grover and I made our way to the house and climbed up to the room where I put together my sniper. I then checked to see how much time we had. A sudden burst of light interrupted me which was the que that it was time. I squinted and readied my sniper looking down the scope as the light started dimming down. There stood our contact looking a bit dazed but clearly ready for a fight if it was needed. She saw Thalia and Annabeth and started talking to them.

I had set up a mental link with all of us so we could talk to each other telepathically.

"Thalia, tell her that we need her to cooperate and tell us anything on Order." I said seeing everyone jump a little.

"Now if she refuses I want Jason, Piper, Leo, and Nico to come out with their guns out." I added.

"What is your plan Percy?" Annabeth asked.

"You'll find out now shut up I need to concentrate." I responded harshly.

I read the lips of our contact and her body language after Thalia told her to cooperate. She then got tense after the guys came out of the bushes and buildings. I could then tell that she was getting ready to fight and was trying to select the weakest one. She looked at Annabeth for a long time and then pulled out a snub-nose while grabbing Annabeth and holding the gun to her head as well as a knife to her throat in all one quick movement.

"Stand down now!" I yelled over the telepathic link.

"But she has Annabeth!" Piper yelled back.

"Percy I swear if you let her die!" Thalia spoke up.

I then turned on the mic that I had and started to speak.

"Well if it isn't old Lucy, I could've sworn that I made sure that you were to stay locked away for another millennia." I said over the speakers I had implanted into everyone's bags.

"Why am I surprised. I should've known it was you Percy Jackson." She said tightening her grip on Annabeth.

"Now you know I go by Cold now don't you?" I asked knowing that she did.

"I always preferred Percy. Now I'm giving you one minute to tell me what you want or I'll slit this sluts throat and blow her brains out." She said cocking back the hammer.

"I want info on your BFF Order." I said staying calm and steady.

"Ha! You really think I'd give you that? Please Order is going to make me general there's no way I'll tell you shit." She said chuckling.

"Well that's a shame I thought I could get you to tell me without having to hurt you." I said faking sincerity.

"Oh just because we had that fling you thought that would earn you special treatment? I don't even see you. You scared I might shoot you?" She taunted me.
