Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Lightning Thief
Chapter Summaries
By Rose
Chapter 21 – I Settle My Tab

 

The news of the Santa Monica Pier incident and Percy’s kidnapping was covered up nicely by the media and Percy was no longer perceived as an international criminal.

 

Annabeth, Percy and Grover fly back to New York. They split up and Percy heads to the Empire State Building. At the security desk, Percy shows the guard the bolt and requests to be taken up to see Zeus.

 

Percy states his case before Zeus and Poseidon. He also tells them he feels there was someone else besides Hades who was responsible for everything and explains why. Zeus let’s Percy live and tells him not to cause such commotions again and disappears. Poseidon and Percy believe Kronos the King of Titans is to blame for causing the war. Poseidon then tells Percy his mother has returned and he will find a package when he returns home.

 

At home Percy reunited with his mother. Gabe is there and is giving attitude about his Camero and lifts his hands to strike Percy’s mother. Percy realizes he has hit his mother before. This makes him very angry. Gabe wants Percy to leave. Percy’s mother tells her son she will have to place him in another Boarding school and things will work out. She just needs time.

 

Percy goes to his room and finds the package, understands what it is for and tells his mother if she ever gets the courage to leave Gabe…the package is there for her. Percy tells his mother he will be leaving for Half-Blood Hill.
