chap 37

Walking towards the cabins as I pull my phone out and check the news and the first thing that pops up is a article about some saint Louis arch explosion and the possibility that the fugitive percy jackson is a prime suspect then the feed switches to his step dad crying fake tears while holding the hand of a nurse. " So that is Gabe i hate the fact I can't do much." I mumble and walk in my cabin and start cleaning while lost in thought before calling one of the local stores " Sir its rare for you to call what can I help you with?" The manager says in a shaky voice " Tell me are their any open positions in management?" I ask leaning on the window and wait afew minutes as I hear the clacking of a keyboard " Yes sir for a 2nd assistant manager why do you ask?" I nod and scratch my chin " hold that position I want a copy of that job description and all its benefits, I'll be down in a few to get it." I say as I start putting the cleaning supplies away. " Yes sir."

I hang my phone up and away out my cabin to find silena sitting on the step " Problem bab?" I ask as I help her stand " No just wondering what you were going to do?" she asks as she dusts herself of " I'm running to one of the local stores then leaving a job offer for Percy's mom when he succeeds on the quest." I say walking toward the hill " Oh well can I join you?" she asks grabbing my hand " Ok but I'll deal with the step dad." I say as she smiles and we walk past Thaila's tree and down towards the drive way as Savanah is standing by the car door with it open" You already know which store?" she nods as we climb in we then make our way to the store to find the manager run out to meet us " Here you go sir." I nod and take the papers and nod to Savanah as we make our way into the city" Is this the only reason you are coming to the city?" silena asks with a puzzled look as I nod " Yes but we can stop somewhere if you like." To that she nods.

After a few minutes of driving we come to a building with news crew surrounding the door as we park along the street " Both of you wait here." I climb out still wear my camp halfblood t-shirt and jeans with the papers in my back pocket as I walk toward the door and ring the door bell and a Average height bald man in gym shorts opens the door " What the the hell you want?" I trying to hide my scowl with a poker face " Mr Ugliano My name is Zachary Bradley the founder and ceo of the hunter's supply department store." I say with a plan tone as he goes pale " Forgive me sir please come in." I follow him in and I'm greeted with anews crews pointing their camera at me " Mr. Ugliano I come for two simple things first is to extend my ... Condolences to you in this trying time. The second is I have come to extend a job offer to Miss Sally upon her return." I say as I pull out the paper in my pocket as I see his eyes light up " Please note this mister Ugliano this management position is for her not you I have written my contact information on this piece of paper all Mrs . Jackson will have to do is call both me and the store and she will have the job."

Gabe scowls and ponders for a moment before reaching out for the paper, " Fine I'll give it to her." I glare at him " Of course mister and just as a warning if anyone but her calls then said person will be blacklisted from every store in the state." I say coldly as everyone in the room looks at me stunned and a thought hits me and makes me smile " And as a show of good will, Mrs Jackson was kidnapped yes but percy didn't do it I found the boy wounded in my lawn and he told me what happened so I helped him back to health then introduced him to the two kids traveling with him. I gave him some supplies so that he could try to find her the most recent incident in Saint Louis may have been caused by the kidnapper." I say looking directly at the camera and winks." Now I'll be going I'll see myself out." I turn around and walk out the door with my jaw clinched .
