1~Grover POV

Grover POV

I was worried about her.

Ever since I've been sent almost halfway across New York, to befriend, and lookout for Kayla, I've known there was something different about her than other demigods.

I'm just not sure what it is.

She's younger, around 14, soon to be 15 if I can remember right. And, with the deal the gods made awhile back ago, (all demigods should be claimed by the age of 13) we should know who's her parent. But, even with the help of me, Chrion, the gods, and even a few selective Athenian children, we still don't know.

But, that's not what I'm really worried about.

Its the monsters. I've been noticing they have been appearing way more lately for some reason, as if they're just agitated by the sight of her. I mean yeah, plenty of monsters despise demigods, eat them, kill them, kidnap them, etc, etc.

Maybe I'm just out of practice with knowing demigods and monsters or something. Over the last year, there's been so much happening; my mini quest, trying to hang out with Percy and Annabeth, helping out in the summer at camp while also helping out in the winter. it been a lot on me, so Chiron decided it may be best for me to find and lookout for new demigods.

Well, I've found one, and its been a few months since I've been able to be here, go to her school in the last few weeks, and manage to get an internship at the same place she has one.

It been months of me trying to decipher who her godly parent is, and shooing away monsters, all the while, making myself as least noticeable as possible.

And-

Suddenly, my thoughts catch up with me and I realize I've been pacing around in circles, around my cubicle at the office, with others staring at me questionably, as if to say, "What the hell is up with that scrawny intern?".

I sigh, sitting down as fast as I notice, that's what they were probably thinking anyways.

After doing some more research on the laptop Chrion provided me before I left, and yes, demigods, nor magical creatures that can be attacked by monsters, shouldn't be using technology, which makes it easier for cyclopes, giants, gorgons, etc, etc, to track us (yes the monsters have gotten more tech- savvy than your mother) the Hephaestus cabin crew has managed to implant devices that block any signal that can be traced by monsters.

Seeing our supervisor, Mr. Ender, walking over to my cubicle, I quickly exit out of my research in Greek mythology, and pull up several presentations on recycling, and other "green ideas". After all, that's basically my job.

"There he is!" My supervisor shouts as soon as he sees me across the lobby, making everyone look in my direction. So much for being invisible.

Yet, oblivious to the fact that he is embarrassing me, and himself with those god-awful ties he wears everyday, he still continues, despite the odd looks, and held back laughter.

"There's the greenest, most recycling, most awesomely environment saving guy, Grover!" He punches the air, and the side of the cubicle for effect, all the while making me jump.

"Hello, sir. I was just working on my-" I start, getting cut off by him examining the presentation on my computer.

"Oh, so the next best thing from Grover is...." he says, scanning over my work, "The Green Sweep Into Summer!" he finishes quoting the title then bellowing a chuckle.

"I love it! I expect it done and in my office by 5! Keep up the good work son! " He shouts, giving me a pat on the back, but with how large of a guy he is, the force sends me and my seat a couple inches forward making my rib-cage hit the desk, and my legs hit the cubicle wall that my fake foot starts to come off.

Oh gods, don't see my hooves, don't see my hooves, don't see my hooves, I quietly chant in my head, until Super-pain-in-my-hide goes away, and I manage to put my foot back on adjusting it.

I wish I could just bring her to Camp Half Blood already and get on with helping her out there, but I need to get her to trust me first, or trust me more I guess.

If she doesn't trust me how am I going to get Kayla to come with me to Long Island to CHB, in the first place? I can't.

I groan out of frustration of the whole situation, needing to speak with Chrion.

This quest is even more confusing than when I was sent to look after my now bets friend, Percy Jackson. Even though he was "part of the big three", "son of Posiden", and one of the biggest trouble makers at camp beside the Stolls, and a few other campers, he was maybe the easiest at excepting what and who he was, and actually getting to CHB, minus the car crash, and the monster, and his mother disappearing into dust, but, everything worked itself out eventually.....

But, so far in me trying to keep track of this new demigod, the only thing I've been doing is trying to keep my cover, and being distracted by the supervisor everyday. Everyday. Something new.

"Oh Grover! Whats up? Can you read over these 594 pages? Thanks, Champ!"

"Recycle guy! Can you go around all of the offices in the building and get the recyclables? No problem you say? Great!"

"Green man! Mind grabbing a coffee, and orders from everyone in the office? Great! I expect that coffee in 5 minutes Grover!"

By the time I was halfway done with everything, Kayla was clocking out of her photography internship by 4:30, and I was only halfway through trimming every bush around the plaza of the building. Gods, it was the worst job/cover I've ever had.

Thankfully, I had planned he would ask me to finish my presentation, so I had already completed it, so by the time I would be able to sneak it onto Mr. Ender's office desk, I could run off, catching Kayla as she was leaving.

So plan, "Get papers on desk and run like a dam gazelle out of the office" is in full effect.
