Child of the damned

I forgot my father in law

"All four of them were still in the truck slowly arriving in las vegas, making a plan to let all the animals escape"

"They know the rest?" Annabeth asked" yeah, there really talented...these guys are like artists," grover said as they arrived in las vegas"

...

"This seems dangerous," percy said looking at grover as the animals held up traffic"they'll survive," Priscilla said putting her hand on percy's shoulder" yeah, they'll be fine. I gave them a satyr's blessing," grover said as annabeth looked in shock"i meant for the people," percy said as Priscilla and grover shook it off"

"These people will be fine, percy... stop worrying"Priscilla said shaking him up a bit" oh...them. Well, i mean, i'm sure they'll...yeah, i don't know but the animals are all set"grover said as Priscilla laughed"okay, come on, before the cops show up," annabeth said turing around"

"So, how do we know which hotel is the lotus?"percy said, Priscilla rolled her as she was faced towards it"maybe the one with the giant lotus flower on it," Priscilla said pointing at the hotel"you were like two seconds ahead of me. Seriously," percy said as Priscilla had a smile on her face"sometimes, it might be okay to just let the easy ones go," percy said trailling behind Priscilla and annabeth with grover all the way back"

"The four got into the casino, it felt off and Priscilla felt it to, like something bad was bound to happen and then she felt it, a weird gut feeling and a pain in her heart"

"Cilla! You okay?"annabeth asked as Priscilla ducked down a little"i'm fine, just a cramp in my stomach " Priscilla said trying her best to lie"

"I know we're supposed to be saving the world, but would it be unprofessional if we just hung out here for a bit?"percy said as everyone had a smile on their face but Priscilla still felt weird"we find hermes, we get him to hook us up with a ride to Los Angeles and a plan to get into the underworld, and we are out of here ten seconds later." Annabeth said as Priscilla shook her head in agreement"

"I was kidding,"percy said as grover zoned out"wait, hang on. Your mom told you all the stories. Did she read you the odyssey?" Grover said holding percy back"the graphic novel," percy said as Priscilla and annabeth looked confused"

"It counts"

"Odysseus land on a beach. There's these guys who've forgotten where they came from, forgot everything that was important to them, and they got that way because they ate—" grover said as percy cut him off"

"The lotus flowers"

"If we go in there and forget everything, that would be bad on a number of levels," grover said hesitating to go in any further" but if hermes is in there, though, what choice do we have?" Percy said as Priscilla tightened her lips in a way saying percy's right"what do you think, wise girl?" Percy said looking at annabeth"

"Just don't eat anything," annabeth said as they all shook their heads in agreement"wait, why were you looking at me when you said that?" Grover said trailling behind them"

"Think about it goat pants," Priscilla said raising her voice over the music"this place is a lot bigger than it looked from the outside," grover said looking around admiring the building"

"He could be anywhere"

"Let's split up," annabeth said stopping for a second"i thought we didn't do that anymore," percy said starting an argument"also, you guys have seen him before, i haven't, so i'm not going to be much help alone" percy continued" he's not hard to miss," Priscilla said in a soft voice"
