Percy walked into his house, his hair still dripping wet from all the training he had done.

He was bone tired and just wanted to go to bed.

So of course it was chaotic.

David and Connor had begun a game of hockey in the living room and frankly Percy didn't mind but Annabeth would be absolutely livid.

Grace was yammering on the phone with her best friend Lucy and doing her science project, which wasn't due for a month.

Tyler was no surprise, out doing something that he most likely shouldn't be doing.

It was a typical night in the Jackson household.

Except for the fact that his wife was missing.

It was eight thirty and Annabeth usually returned to the house much earlier than that.

At first, Percy thought nothing of it.

Yet, after two hours and 7 missed calls it was safe to say Percy was worried.

He tried to maintain his cool as he put his children to bed despite all their questions about the whereabouts of their mother.

But, he could only form one thought.

What the hell happened?

*Line Break*

Annabeth buttoned her coat up as far up as it would go as she walked through the chilly Manhattan streets.

It was a long walk to her office, giving her plenty of time to think about all the things that were going on in her life.

It also gave her enough time to realize she was being followed.

She was probably just being paranoid.

Yet, the fact that the same woman had been following her for the past 12 blocks was a bit disconcerting.

'Calm down Annabeth. You're being silly. Watch I'll turn right here and she'll go straight.'

Yet that same woman went right as soon as she did.

'Okay… probably just a fluke. I'll just turn left here and she won't.'

Annabeth and the mystery woman continued for about 7 more blocks like this. At that point Annabeth was debating whether or not to turn and confront her.

Annabeth reached down into her coat pocket where her faithful dagger rested. She carried it with her in case of emergencies. Like this one.

Annabeth took one more turn, this time into an alleyway, and turned to face her stalker.

Sure enough the woman turned in soon after Annabeth and did a once over of her.

"So, care to explain why you're following me?"

The woman smiled at her and removed a pair of sunglasses that had been perched on her nose.

Her eyes were the bluest she had ever seen.

And they screamed hatred.

The woman looked to be about Annabeth's age she was about 5'8 with jet black hair and a muscular build.

There was something else about her; she didn't seem to be a demigod.

She seemed to be mortal.

"Don't worry Annabeth. This isn't about you; this is about your husband."

Annabeth's hand flexed around the blade and her stomach dropped to the floor.

"What in Hades do you want with Percy?"

The woman just smiled, which was starting to annoy Annabeth.

"I asked you a question. What in Hades do you want with Percy? Better yet, who in Hades are you?"

"I work for an organization called M.A.D. Sound familiar?"

Annabeth suddenly felt like she was going to barf because she did recognize that name.

And it was bad news.

"What the hell do you want?" Annabeth whispered.

"You'll find out soon enough Annabeth."

The woman slipped her glasses high back onto her face before turning to leave.

"Not so fast." Annabeth yelled at her before raising her dagger.

"Oh Annabeth."

The agent gave a nod and suddenly Annabeth felt a very sharp blow to the back of her head.

The last thing she saw were the heels of the women's shoes clacking in the opposite direction.

And then she blacked out.

Percy clonked down his stairs after leaving his tenth message on Annabeth's machine.

Where the hell was she?

Why the hell wasn't she answering him?

Percy was just about to call her for the eleventh time when he noticed something on his kitchen counter.

It was a plain white box wrapped with a light blue bow.

And it hadn't been there when he had gone upstairs.

Percy walked over and picked up a small card that had his name addressed on it.

Just thought you'd like to have this.

Percy took the bow off the box and lifted the lid and after pawing through three layers of tissue paper, there laid an object that made his heart sink.

It was Annabeth's bronze dagger.

Percy couldn't breathe. He stood in his kitchen, trying to decipher what this meant. His brain wasn't processing what he doing when he noticed a similar piece of paper tucked under the dagger.

Come and find her.

Percy barely had time to think when he heard a knock on the front door.

Clasping onto Annabeth's dagger he slowly made his way to the door.

He looked through the peep hole only to realize that it was blocked.

Breathing through his nose he unlocked the heavy wooden door and threw it open.

And there stood the last person he ever expected to see.

"Lauren?"
