chap 24 training 3/3

zach pov

I set my plate aside and putting my papers in my ring " Jackson arena now!" I holler as I walk out I see everyone look at percy with sorrow as he runs after me " You ok zach you look pissed." I shake my head " No you'll understand later but your next training will be with a spear or trident." I say as we walk in the arena and stab a spear and trident in the ground. " Pick you poison." I say and click my pen and my spear springs out as percy looks between the two before picking up the trident. " Good choice." I say as we walk in the pit " It felt natural but it don't feel balanced but oh well." I laugh and I slowly walk percy through its use as we pick up the pace as he slowly gets a hang off it. " Your getting good percy." I say as I step back before jabbing at him which he blocks " Well a good teacher will go along way." he then thrusts forcing me to sidestep as I jab at him which he blocks.

after 2 hours

" Good... good work percy." I pant as I hold my spear behind me with the point towards the ground. " Thanks... but next time...I'll come out on top." Percy pant as he leans on the trident, we put the weapons back and we walk to the store " You don't have and toiletries do you?" he shakes his head and we walk in the store and we grab what he needs as I pay for it then we shower and when we head the lake where we find Annabeth thinking of battle plans " Hey Annabeth can you take over his training for me I have to go to California sooner." She looks up an nods " Ok then you might want to tell chirion." I nod and walk towards the archery range to find him breaking up a fight. " Chirion I need to go one of the recent reports says that those kids raided a store." he nods as I walk up the hill and stop at Thaila's tree " I'll be back sis." I turn and walk down the hill to a house that I had built bout 2 year ago. I just walk in the door as a lady walks up " Welcome home sir." I nod " Savanah is my bag packed for my trip to California?" she nods " Yes sir I say the report before I delivered it so I took the liberty of getting it ready and I have james getting the plane ready."

I look at the woman " Good then get the car ready..." she cuts me off " Already done sir." I look at her at smile " Well then lets go." we walk in the garage and get in the car and drive to the airport and onto the runway to a small jet. " Have a safe trip sir." she says as she opens the door as I climb out and on the plane as it takes off.

a few days later

" Sir we are landing in San Francisco." james says as I nod drinking my coffee as we land. The door opens and I walk down the ramp to find one of my store managers waiting on with two street legal dirt bikes " Welcome to San Francisco." I nod as I sling my bag on my back and hook the helmet on and we drive towards Berkeley " Tell me Bout the raid." I say as we come to a stop light. " Of course it was a group of kids that wore gold armor and spoke Latin and took all of the products." I nod as we start to go " Did you do what I asked and slip a tracker in?" I ask as we pull up to a ruined building with a alpha mark craved in the frame beside the door. " Yes sir I did I just haven't pulled it up yet." we walk in the building and in the office and he pulls up a map that shows ping just south in Oakland. " Send me a address and keep a eye on it." he nods as I walk out the door and on the bike and drives off to the location which is Caldecott tunnel i pull my bike to the side to find two kids dressed in armor gruading the maintenance door. I put the stand down down and turn the bike off and taking my helmet off and walking up to them. " Halt you can not enter." the one on the right says " I want to speak to your leader I'm the owner of the store you all raided." I growl as the two look at each other as the one one the left enters leaving me the one on the right. " So your the owner?" he asks " Yes I had these store created for demigods on quests or is supplies are needed but the only ones that get free stuff is the hunters of Artemis." I say coldly as I glare at the boy " You mean Diana?" he asks as he leans on his javelin. I Shrug " The hunters regardless now who are you?" he glares back at me " Jason grace son of Jupiter." I feel my blood run cold " Now you." I sigh " I hate using my full name but Zachary Bradley son of Zeus." Jason shivers and grips his javelin tighter then his buddy come back " You have request has been approved be on your best behavior." I nod and we walk through the door and through the tunnel for a few minutes to find a grand entrance to a camp. I stop at the edge of a creek and look at the entrance as two men walk out wearing gold armor and they look over at me as I'm still wearing my armor " Who are you there are rules that must be follow---" the one one the right start to say before I cut him off " Shut your fucking mouth. I could give a shit about your rules when you rob one of my stores." and the man one the left whos was wearing a purple cape looks at the other.
