The Jupiter Spy
Chapter 3 That's Hades to you
I wake up on the floor with Dan playing the reed pipes over my head. I moan through my splitting headache , "Dan what the hell are you doing"
"Great you're awake" he exclaims triumphantly.
"Yeah it was your awful music that woke me." I banter. Dan doesn't rise to the bait, but says "Follow me, quickly." I see him take my dads Ferrari's keys and I try to stop him. "Oh no we are not doing that," I declare. Oh yes we are doing that," he parrots maliciously.
We go outside and he tosses me the keys and starts looking through the garage. I start up the car as he walks out with a club and a hedge trimmer. "A hedge trimmer" I say in disbelief, what am I going to do cut the monsters yards." This isn't any ordinary hedge trimmer," Dan says. "This is made of celestial bronze designed for hitting monsters. Its teeth will never dull and the engine will never breakdown. NOW GET IN THE VAN!" He roars jokingly. "It's a sports car" I insist. "Ryan you can be such a kleptomaniac sometimes. Now get moving.
We are driving down the highway when Dan starts talking again, "So you seem to be accepting this without any questions" "Well it's easy to accepting a hallucination," I reply. "Well are you curious what your hallucinating is. "Fine. Since you seem so interested in this hallucination do tell what is going on?
"Well..." Dan begin, "All the old Greek stories are true, the monsters gods and in your case demigods. As you can guess you have a mortal father so that means your mother was a goddess, and judging by your smell you are child of one of the three major goddesses. "Wait. My smell? You mean BO." "No moron all demigods have a distinct smell based on their godly parent and creature like me." "What do you mean by creatures like you?" He whips off his cap and I see two horns poking out of his dirty blond hair. "I am a sayter half man half goat," he says nonchalantly. I almost crash the car at this revolutions. "What the Pluto!" I exclaim. "That's hades to you" Dan retorts.
