Detroit: Meet Percy Jackson *Complete*

Chapter 17: Meeting Percy

December 15, 2038

It took nearly a month before Lucas was finally able to get his old job back. Which all things considered, was rather good. He wasn't living with Percy or Estelle anymore, finding solace in a room that New Jericho had was a good start for independence he was trying for.

That being said, it took nearly a week after before whispers started to spring up from Simon, Josh, and North. The latter of the trio warning Lucas the most that they were planning something.

Something that they didn't seem to want to tell Lucas or Markus, as when Lucas asked Markus about it, the android leader also didn't know what they were talking about. Always stopping when they think either of the two androids were going nearing them.

"I have a bad feeling about this," Lucas muttered to Markus after they both walked in on a meeting about android laws to find the trio muttering together before stopping and looking innocent

"You and me both," Markus muttered back.

While they attempted on the occasion to figure out what the trio was whispering about, they didn't get anyway and decided to just let the situation play out.

That was, until the trio left during the night for unexplained reasons. The only reason Markus and Lucas both figured it out was because they were on night-patrol that night.

It was something they had to do when humans started coming back to Detroit and some were less than pleased with the androids and attempted to do harm to androids in New Jericho.

With the android laws still in progress, the police couldn't do much, much to Connor and his partner's frustration.

"We should follow them," Lucas said as he watched the trio get into a taxi they called.

"Probably," Markus said, alerting one of the receptionists that was also awake to have someone cover his and Lucas' shift.

From there, Lucas and Markus easily got into another taxi and programmed it to go to the previous taxi's set location. It took a bit of hacking and making sure the time stamp was correct, before Markus and Lucas both realized where the trio was going.

"How did they even get Percy's address?" Lucas asked confused, seeing the address blaring at them from the monitor of the taxi.

Markus furrowed his brow before he sighed in exasperation. "They probably wrangled Connor into it. I'll have to tell him next time I see him to not let North stronghold him into giving them another person's address. Who knows what would happen if someone found out. His precinct is still fighting to keep him on their payroll as their is."

"Lovely, so another thing to scold North for. How many is that from the start of this month?" Lucas asked with a sigh.

"I believe the seventh," Markus replied in the same tone as Lucas.

Both exasperated with their friend but ultimately, they were her friends and didn't really fault her.

"I just want to know how she wrangled Simon and Josh into this as well," Markus said thoughtfully.

"They probably wanted to see Percy again, it probably only took a bit of convincing. I'm just surprised Simon hadn't spilt the beans on their operation. You know his guilty conscious."

Markus hummed and the car ride was silent until they arrived outside the apartment. As they made their ways through with a soft wave from the landlord (who knew both androids from previous monthly visits before the revolution) they were in the elevator and Markus had a thought.

"We never told them about Mrs.O'Leary have we?" he asked trying to recall anytime he mentioned the overprotective giant dog that the Jackson's had.
