《Hero Of Olympus》Spy work
Advertisement
I could almost hear the Mission Impossible theme song playing in the backround as Connor and I followed Annabeth, who was leading James towards the beach.
My brother seemed extremely nervous, which was proved by the waves getting restless. I helped him out by calming down the waves.
Connor and I paused a little away from the beach. We watched the two exchange words until Annabeth leaned forward and kissed James. It hurt me to watch but I knew she no longer loved me. Eh well, whatever.
Connor zoomed in and took a few snaps. "We've secured our intel," he said grinning.
After a few minutes, James walked over to the Arena and plopped himself down.
"That's our cue," I muttered, as Connor and I rushed towards him.
"Did it work?" I asked hopefully.
"Yeah, she has no idea," he said cracking up. "We're about to out smart the smart."
While we were here in the Arena, Travis and Leo were sending this information over to Hermes, who was keeping a record of everything.
Hera was keeping an eye on Ares, while Zeus was keeping an eye on my dad.
Connor had to leave soon to practice sword fighting with the rest of the Hermes cabin, which left me James to go canoeing.
We were in the middle of the lake when James' canoe suddenly exploded and he fell into the water.
"Help! James is drowning," came Annabeth's voice.
How dumb was she? James can't drown.
As if to prove my point, James floated out of the water and landed on my canoe, throwing us both out of balance. We fell in and laughed under water.
"James is drowning. Aaaahahhhh." James mimicked Annabeth's voice.
I continued laughing. We resurfaced, still giggling. A lot of campers had gathered around the canoe lake.

"I can't drown, we're both children of Poseidon. Who put that bomb in my canoe in the first place?"
Everyone looked towards the Hermes cabin, but they shrugged.
I dived back into the lake and collected all the broken pieces.
I looked at the bomb and noticed that it was similar to what the Hermes cabin used. It also puzzled me how Annabeth had been there. She normally had Archery at that time.
I resurfaced along with the pieces and showed them the left overs of the mini explosive.
"Who's stupid enough to try and drown a son of Poseidon?" I asked.
Chiron looked at Connor and Travis suspiciously but they stared right back.
"That bomb is supposed to be filled with paint and blown up as a prank. It was never designed to be filled with gun powder," Travis stated.
Everyone shrugged and went back to their activities.
"Ask your sibling. Either someone was blackmailed by Annabeth or she stole the bomb."
The twins nodded and we went our separate ways.
Annabeth then came towards us. "Hey seaweed brain," she said, making me want to be sick. "I'm just going to borrow James for a minute."
Great. I sat down at the doorstep of the Poseidon cabin and waited. When James returned with Annabeth, he looked extremely disturbed. I wanted to ask him what was wrong but Annabeth stayed with us for the whole day.
After the camp fire was over, she dragged James away towards the big house. James had his phone on him so I wasn't too worried. He could always record any suspicious conversations he had.
I went back to our cabin and crashed on my bunk. James came back five minutes later, looking even more disturbed.
"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing," he replied. He gave me a half hearted smile and held my gaze for a second and flicked his eyes towards the door. Someone else was here.
"I'm brushing first," I said, and walked towards the bathroom. I took the longer route that went close to the door. I covered my mouth as I did a fake yawn and out stretched my elbow. It was meant to be a fake yawn but seeing that I was sleepy, it ended up being an original yawn.
My out stretched elbow hit something, and there was a yelp. I felt around, and pulled off Annabeth's Yankees baseball cap.
"You shouldn't be here," I exclaimed. "What if Chiron caught you?"
"I'm having bad dreams about Tartarus Percy, I need you," she said, clinging on to my hand, but giving James a sideways glance that did not go unnoticed.
I shrugged and looked towards James for help.
He shrugged back at me. It would be hard to say no without making it suspicious.
So in the end, Annabeth ended up sleeping in the Poseidon cabin, next to me. It took all my will power to not jump onto the next bunk.
Thankfully, she didn't bring her knife, meaning she was atleast listening to her mother and not trying to kill me.
I held onto her to make sure she doesn't move and try to kill me or frame me for something worse.
Thankfully, when we woke up in the morning, everything was fine and no one was dead.
James looked at Annabeth in annoyance. She left the cabin immediately to make sure no one found out she'd been here.
I sighed at the thought that no one caught her, but grinned when I saw James holding his phone in his hand.
"Why did you look worried yesterday?" I asked him, now that we were free to talk without being watched.
"No reason," he said, while ushering me towards the bathroom. I followed him and the two of started brushing our teeth.
He spat his paste onto the mirror and started to write.
She's making me frame you 4 canal. Tool me 2 Chiron after camp fire 2 contain.
The numbers along with letters made my dislexia even worse. The two of us stared at what James had himself written on the mirror. He proceeded to face palm and correct the canal fo canoe and contain to complain.
That made perfect sense.
James nodded to me and spat on the glass again.
Her phone—your bed—record.
He washed away what he wrote and walked out of the bathroom.
"Percy, you clean the room, I'll do our beds," James called out.
"Alrighty," I replied, starting to sweep up the cabin.
"Hey look!" He exclaimed. "Annabeth left her phone here."
"I thought she gave it to Chiron when she's at camp."
"I don't know bro."
We grinned at each other.
Just then, Annabeth opened the door. "Sorry, I left my phone," she said before grabbing it and running out.
James and I grinned at each other and fist bumped.

HEfTY
What if everyone in the world gave you $1? That’s what Hefty, a fat and cocky 14-year-old computer hacker tries to do. He bets on Bitcoin, and becomes a millionaire. Nevertheless, it’s short lived because Hefty is under the beck and call of his BPD mom. Hefty’s mom has leukemia. After seeing his mom’s hospital bill, he goes full tilt on the internet, selling crazy things on the Dark Web, like drones, drugs, and guns. And under his nose, someone’s been watching Hefty. Before he knows it, he’s abducted by ISIS and transported to Syria. ISIS’s chief tech officer was blown apart in an airstrike. All of ISIS’s money freshly minted into Cryptocurrencies. The passcodes in his mind blew up with the airstrike. The King of ISIS, forces Hefty to find the passcodes. At gunpoint, Hefty can’t say no, but tricks the King. The King makes a deal with him: If Hefty gets the money off the server, he gets to keep his life (and 10%). Hefty agrees and sees the amount from his 10%: $1.1 Billion in BTC. Drunk with money, Hefty joins the King and naively agrees to help ISIS, and starts buying everything he’s always wanted. He still misses home though, and after a google search brings up his mom, he throws bread crumbs through the internet. He creates digital trails throughout the back end of sites he hacks so people can find him. Even though his lifestyle is fun and exciting, ISIS starts to look less inspiring. Hefty sees the cruelty of ISIS’s cause and it disillusions him from thinking the Caliphate is noble. After some ISIS friends start dying, Hefty sees that war is dumb. Hefty tells his dying friend, on his last breaths, that he is going to take down ISIS. Mistake. With his last yells, his friend tattles on Hefty. Overnight, he goes from Multimillionaire to POW. The King gives him 2 options: blow up his favorite team on a game day of the Cleveland Browns, or his mother dies. Hefty chooses his mother. Within weeks, Hefty covertly writes software to defeat ISIS, leaving enough breadcrumbs to attract the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, General Tarvish. Acting quickly, General Tarvish works to find Hefty and uncover the Brown’s Stadium plot. Hefty finds a way to bomb the stadium, using an order that the president enacted putting all combat planes: no matter where over the US, had to be fully loaded and ready for war. Tarvish didn’t plan this into his counter measure. Hefty has set up ambushes against the Caliphate of ISIS… but the joke turns on him when he forgets to delete his code, and his terror attack on Brown’s Stadium goes off. Hefty’s location goes live, and an air campaign against the Caliphate starts. The US President angrily tries to drop a nuclear bomb on Hefty and the Caliphate. Tarvish kills the President before he can order the attack. The King flees by truck into the desert, but brings his cyber weapon: Hefty. Fed up, unafraid, and frankly pissed off, Hefty grows some balls and kills everyone in the car, giving the King his just reward, and careening down a mountain in the process.

Why The Hell Not
Sweat started to form all around my body as the pain consumed me. It was 9pm and this had to be the worst wave of heat I've ever experienced! My body ached as the flames traveled from my core, spreading to the rest of my body. I hate heat, every type of heat, but mainly this one. Heat, in my pack, is a bitch! The second you turn 16 your heat starts. Then for the rest of your life you get a heat cycle once a month, as if having a period isn't bad enough. The heat happens right after your period, leaving you 2 weeks of peace as a woman if you find your mate your 16 years of life! If you did not find your mate at 16, when you turn 17 it will be every 2 weeks! Your period is still once a month, thankfully, but the heat cycle directly after your period is the strongest! Leaving you ONE week of peace...unless of course you don't find your mate by the time you turn 17. If you are unlucky enough to not have found your mate by the time you are 18, then yes it will be EVERY week! Leaving you NO peace!!Basically the longer you go without finding your mate, the more heat you will go through. If you're 20+ then it could be EVERY hour! Once you find your mate it goes back down to once a month, thankfully. Lucky, or lucky for me, I'm 17...meaning I've gotta deal with this every 2 weeks. This one in particular is the worst one yet! I grabbed the water on the side of my bed and tried to fix my dry throat.......
