The demigods and Grover walked through the carpark, Hermes keys dangling from Percy's fingers. The group of four were in search of Hermes car. Afterall they only had his keys, how were they supposed to know what type of car he drove? He might not even drive a car for gods sake, he might drive a bus or a helicopter or something.

"Okay, God of travellers. What kind of car does the god of travellers have?" Percy asked, more rhetorically but also just wondering in general.

"Guys, I gotta say, so far this quest is really exciting." Grover exclaimed causing Amaya and Percy to share a look of concern. "Really hoping that we find that car."

"Finding the car isn't the quest." Annabeth stepped in with a face full of disbelief, she did not think that his memory would be that bad.

"There's more?" Grover asked, slightly confused but excited.

"God damn." Amaya exhaled while sighing.

"We'll explain it to you on the way. We're in a bit of a hurry." Percy told the goat boy.

"We're late?" He asked in response.

"Very, very late." Amaya stated, slightly speeding up her walk.

"Are we late because of me?" Grover asked stopping his walk.

Percy stopped to face him an unsure look coming across his face. Reaching out the boy placed a hand on Grover's shoulder. "It's okay." The blonde reassured him. "We're gonna be okay. Although, I hope that the game you were playing was amazing."

"I was hunting for Pan." Grover responding, a smile growing on his face.

"Sounds great." Percy said dropping his hand and nodding his head at the boy.

"No, I mean, like I actually felt I was about to find him. That- That I'd be the first. That I'd help save the natural world. It just felt so real." Grover reasoned with Percy; he was trying to describe how strong the feeling he was getting when playing that game was.

Percy furrowed his eyebrows at the boy as he hesitantly nodded his head, he wanted Grover to feel as though he understood what he was saying but Percy thought that it truly wasn't possible for something like that to happen.

"Guys!" Annabeth called out to the boys who had dropped back quite a bit from the two girls.

Percy and Grover turned their heads towards her voice to be met with Amaya sitting on the front of a taxi her legs facing Annabeth as she watched the girl in front of her study a brown envelope.

"Hermes drives a cab?" Percy asked his eyes floating over to Amaya and admiring her for a couple of seconds before getting caught by Annabeth.

"And left us a note." Amaya added as she swung her feet, which were about two feet off the ground.

"How do we know that's for us?" He questioned stopping in front of the daughter of Hades.

Amaya chuckled as Annabeth flipped the brown envelope over showing Percy and Grover the front of it which read. To the dumb kids.

"Nice." Percy commented.

"Should've known the god of thieves noticed his pocket getting picked." Annabeth mentioned as she opened the envelope ready to read the letter.

"Back door to the Underworld, magic word, map in the glove box." She summarised. "And he says we'll become travelers once we're on the road. And then the car will take us wherever we wish to go." She concluded.

"So, one of us just has to drive it out of the garage." Percy stated.

The group looked around trying to decide who should be the one to drive the car. Their eyes all ended up landing on Grover.
