Grover was soon shaking my shoulder. "The truck's stopped," he said. "We think they're coming to check on the animals."
I swear I had nightmares last that, and they were definitely important. But i didn't remember a single thing when I woke up. I didn't have time to think about it either.
"Hide!" Annabeth hissed.
She had it easy. She just put on her magic cap and disappeared. The rest of us had to dive behind feed sacks and hope we looked like turnips. The trailer doors creaked open. Sunlight and heat poured in.
"Man!" one of the truckers said, waving his hand in front of his ugly nose. "I wish I hauled appliances." He climbed inside and poured some water from a jug into the animals' dishes.
"You hot, big boy?" he asked the lion, then splashed the rest of the bucket right in the lion's face. The lion roared in indignation.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," the man said.
Next to me, under the turnip sacks, Grover tensed. For a peace-loving herbivore, he looked downright murderous. I was also upset about how the animals were being treated, but Grover was serious. The trucker threw the antelope a squashed-looking Happy Meal bag. He smirked at the zebra. "How ya doin', Stripes? Least we'll be getting rid of you this stop. You like magic shows? You're gonna love this one. They're gonna saw you in half!"
The zebra, wild-eyed with fear, looked straight at Percy. Then there was a loud knock, knock, knock on the side of the trailer. The trucker inside with us yelled, "What do you want, Eddie?"
A voice outside— it must've been Eddie's-shouted back, "Maurice? What'd ya say?"
"What are you banging for?"
Knock, knock, knock. Outside, Eddie yelled, "What banging?"
Our guy Maurice rolled his eyes and went back outside, cursing at Eddie for being an idiot. A second later, Annabeth appeared next to us. She must've done the banging to get Maurice out of the trailer. She said, "This transport business can't be legal."
