Will's POV

The fuck!? Somehow, after a long and silent conversation with Nico, we managed to trust a titan with a big ass broom and who only spoke in third person. 

"Don't worry. I know him." Nico said, even though he sounded just as surprised as me when he said it. 

"How do you know a titan Nico!? What do you when you're alone?" I asked.

"I go to Tartarus and make friends with Titans, Solace. That's what."

I stayed silent. Nico gingerly ran up to the Titan. He would have been faster if he wasn't carrying a dead body.  Damn, that's dark. 

"Bob?" Nico asked.

The titan smiled. "Hello Nico."

"Bob, how are you still alive?! Percy and Annabeth said-"

He seemed excited at the name Percy. "Percy? Is he here."

"No buddy. But what are you doing here?"

Bob looked proud. "Bob have come to help you!"

"How did you know we were here?" I asked. 

"Tartarus told Bob his plans. Bob wanted to help his friends." 

Nico looked stunned. "Bob? You work for Tartarus!?"

Bob shook his head. "No. Bob would never. Bob only wanted to help his friends."

Nico let out a breath. "Good. Now how do you plan to help us again?"

Bob whistled. Well, I think he did. I couldn't exactly hear the whistle, but apparently it meant something to Nico, because he smiled. "Bob you're a genius!"

Bob looked proud. "Bob? A genius?" he asked.

"Yes!"

"Sorry to ruin the moment," I butted in, "But how is Bob a genius?"

As if on cue, a massive blob came out of the shadows. It took the form of a solid black dog. No, not a dog, a hellhound.

"Is that Mrs. O'Leary?" I asked.

Nico walked over to her. "Precisely."

I slowly walked over to her. I stayed away from her, as well as most hellhounds as much as I could. Underworld monsters didn't mix with children of Apollo very well.

"Bob come to bring you back to camp!" Bob exclaimed excitedly. 

"Bob?" Nico asked. "How are you here? I thought you died in Tartarus."

"Bob can not die."

"Yeah yeah. You can regenerate, you're a titan. How did you do that?"

"Oh! Tartarus thought Bob could be useful in his plan! He let me out. I think Tartarus was disappointed, Bob didn't do what he was asked." He frowned slightly. 

"And what were you asked, Bob?" I ventured.

Bob almost started crying. Wait. . . Can Titans cry? "To attack camp. Bob didn't want to. Bob had to make excuses to his master."

"You mean Tartarus. Is he your master?" Nico asked softly.

Bob nodded. Nico carefully set Zoe on the ground. He got real close to Bob and looked him in the eye. "Bob, look at me. You did the right thing. And look where you are now. Now you can see the stares again buddy."
