A Different Reality (Percy Jackson Fanfiction)

Chp 139 - Leo's POV

A/N: I'm so sorry for being late, but Leo's chapter was half-erased by my pc and it took me a long time to find the will to rewrite it. Well, enjoy!

SATURDAY, 7th January

Leo adjusted his cap, nodded to Niel hiding out of sight and rang the doorbell.

It's show time!

A confused looking girl opened the door just a little.

"Yes, can I help you?"

"Are you..."

He pretended to check the paper he had in hand.

"... Lisa Atkins?"

"Yes, what is this about?"

"I have something for you."

He took four steps back to the car and got the giant bouquet from the inside.

"Someone ordered this for you."

"For ME?"

She opened the door wider and even took half a step to receive, and Leo noted she had her phone in her hand.

Perfect.

As long as we do it quick.

Leo kept himself a step and half from her and took the folded paper of his pocket, motioning for her to take it.

"I just need for you to sign this."

Lisa stepped out and accepted the paper. Niel cautiously got behind her and when she opened the paper that had written "Congratulations, you're being kidnapped!" with colorful and glittery stickers, Niel grabbed her from behind, covering her mouth and locking her arms. She thrashed and kicked, but it was nothing to him. Leo accompanied them back to the car, carrying the bouquet and the phone she had dropped, while Niel did a swift work to gag and bound her.

"Truck or backseat?"

"Did you bring chloroform?"

Leo facepalmed with the hand holding the phone.

"Forgot beside the silver tape, sorry."

I TOLD you you'd forget.

Well, why didn't you remind me?

I wouldn't have to if you had remembered.

"Truck it is."

Her eyes were big as plates and she trashed even more, but Niel seemed way too experienced to notice.

Huh. Two minutes and that's it? That was quicker than I was expecting.

Niel is quicker than we were expecting.

And experienced enough to be frightening.

And efficient like a machine.

***

Leo turned the music volume up to muffle Lisa's kicks in the truck, while Niel was impatiently ringing the doorbell for the fifth time.

Why is he looking angry at us? We're not the ones who are late.

When a very annoyed and half-awake Nico in pajamas opened the door, he was yanked to the car by Niel before he could utter a single word.

I'm a little disappointed.

Why?

I was hoping for, I don't know, duck pajamas. Or bunnies.

Or a flying squirrel onesie.
