My job sucks (Percy Jackson)

6

    "Hey!" They shouted over to me, trying to get my attention. I got a call and I sighed gratefully. I walked over to the alleyway and picked up the phone, finding out that Grey was calling.

    "Hello, sir." I said respectfully. I leaned against the wall, knowing I had ways to wash off the dust in case any got on me. I didn't like this shirt anyways.

    "I heard about the recent arrest you had made, in public, without your mask and hood." He said deadly calm. I hated when he got like this, cause I know my training is going to be ten fold then what it actually is.

     "I had to do something. That kids childhood is way more important then my 'secret life'." I claimed. I leaned off the wall and paced a little bit. I waited anxiously for his reply.

     "Instead of revealing the jobs we have given you, you could have called the police who could have handled it accordingly because they don't have to risk everything." He claimed. I rubbed my face stressfully.

      "The kid was scared, sir. I'm sorry that he was scared that his mom would get killed if he said anything. I dealt with the situation without making a big deal." I said accordingly. I knew that if I yelled at him, he would get Alec to torture me during training.

     "You sound like you have been in his situation." Grey scoffed. I growled dangerously before taking a deep breath. I can't let this get out of hand. I looked around both corners before responding.

     "Maybe I have, maybe I haven't. And no, before you you accused that being the reason I did all that shit then you are wrong." I cussed at him. I rarely ever swear, only when I am stressed. Most of the time I'm chill and laid back, but with my old life coming at me like a train and a high chance of my boss finding out, yeah, I'm going to be stressed.

     "You better come to my office tomorrow after you are done teaching." He said, hanging up before I could say 'yes sir'. I growled and punched the wall, making my fist bleed. It felt nice, to feel something not to painful and not to weak.

    "Fuck." I said, sliding down the wall and putting my head on my knees. Usually I don't break down like this, but usually I don't make Grey angry at the work I do for him. I could easily get rid of all of this, I have a gun on me that could end it all. I took out my gun thoughtfully. If I put this to my head and pulled the trigger, I would never accidentally spill the secret that I've been working so hard to keep.

    "Percy?" I heard someone call out. I instantly hid the gun and stood up, glad that I hadn't cried, gods that would be embarrassing. I looked around and saw the seven and some others standing there. I sighed and sat back down. They may have expected me to smile and give them hugs, just for a 'been a while' kind of thing.

     "What was that call about? We saw you, called out for you, then we saw you look at your phone, walk into the alley, and your mood instantly turned sour. and he heard a bit of the conversation." Nico asked in confusing.

     "We also saw the gun, so don't lie saying that nothing is wrong. I thought you were a teacher, why would you be talking about arresting someone?" Jason asked. I looked deeper into the alleyway frantically.

    "What are you trying to do? Get me killed. This is not something to talk about in public. I have enough people wanting me dead, including my boss at the moment." I hissed, mumbling at the end.

     "What do you mean people? I thought only monsters, demigods, and Titans wanted you dead?" Leo smirked. I looked at my phone, glad that the red light was off.

     "Don't go saying shit like that! Especially around me! I'm being watched almost 24/7 and have been since I got captured! Annabeth should have at least known that I was kidnapped!" I said angrily. They looked at me in shock.

    "Who would want to watch you for that long?" Thalia sassed. I rolled my eyes at her, yeah, they don't have jobs or stuff like that, looks like I'm the mature one now.

    "Authorities that's who. They want to find out about, the other world. I was just glad that one of us have found me instead of my boss." I shrugged. I looked around carefully once again, they could get around me pretty well, but I can get past them better. Go training! Fake enthusiasm.

      "Is that why you have been avoiding us?" Piper asked. I looked at her in shock.

    "Avoiding isn't the right word in a sense, busy seemed to fit more with the circumstances. Now, if you don't want to end up where I am, you should leave." I said, seeing one of my coworkers approach. One of the girls that became obsessed with me while I trained with her for a while.

     "We aren't leaving until you tell us-" She was interrupted suddenly, by Olivia.

    "What are you doing talking to MY boyfriend!" She said angrily and I sighed in annoyance.

    "Gods, for the last time we are not together you freaky psychopath!" I said agitated. I gave Jason a look, and he seemed to allow what I was asking him through my look. I then looked at Piper, as if asking for permission. She nodded. I walked up to Piper.

    "This is my girlfriend. Has been for 6 months. Isn't it our anniversary for 7 months in 8 days?" I asked with a smirk, putting my arm around her shoulder.

    "Yes it is baby, now, who are you acting as if you are dating my man? If you don't want me to hurt you, darlin, I would leave while you can." Piper glared at her, making Olivia bolt. I let go of Piper and sighed in relief.

    "Thank you! I've been trying to get her off my back for two months! Gods you do NOT know how annoying she is. Leaving love letters all over my apartment, wait, how the hell does she get into my apartment?" I asked myself.

    "Key?" Leo asked as if it was obvious.

    "I keep my keys on me on all times, meh, I'll set up those cameras that I never actually got to. I get a lot of stalkers. Should've had the training grounds inside instead of outside." I grumbled.

     "Freaky." They all said. After a moment of silence, I looked over at Annabeth, who had a round stomach, and I knew she was pregnant, maybe not super far along, but halfway there.

    "Pregnant? Congratulations Annabeth." I smiled at her. Her eyes widened in shock, placing her had on her stomach subconsciously.

    "You aren't mad?" She asked curiously.

    "Well, I guess I'm not. I never really had the time to. After I got kidnapped, I had close to no time alone, so while I was trying to stay alive, I guess your and I's relationship never crossed my mind. I accepted that it was over before I even got upset." I shrugged. She looked at me in awe. "Now may I ask who the father is?" I asked.

     "Well, thing is, I don't really know. I was being dumb and decided getting drunk was a good idea, found out I was pregnant a few weeks later." She shrugged.

    "Did you find out the sex of the baby?" I asked.

    "It's a boy, had it tested a few weeks ago." She said. She didn't seem the least bit guilty about cheating on me, probably because I don't care.
