I couldn't think rationaly, evrthign else in my mind became a background thouht, i just wanted to find leo and make sure he was okay. Calypso went and told Emmy we were heading out so that she wouldn't freak out about the tree of us being missing, and i got into my car and once Calypso got in we starting driving around
We stopped at every street alley and searched for any sign of him, by the time noon hit wed searched probably every streets within twenty minutes, and started asking nearby shop owners if they seen him, we soon realized we were probably not the best people to be leading a search and rescue because we were lost...and now was probably a bad time to say my car has no (modern) technology...so no GPS, no tracking system, and the radio isn't even teachinaly a radio its some magic thing....Dont blame me Leo can never just make things the normal way he has to add some flare to make it "better" he says and i was still getting used to all the fancy gadgets it had and all the secret buttons and compartments
and plus my tracking skills from camp were useless here, i hated big cities for more then one reason but right now on top of just generally making me weary of my surrounding, i couldn't even look for footprints, or signs Leo had passed through.
Calypso was a little more familiar with the area which is why i originally trusted her with the map...i shoudlve learnt my lesson from Greece that her sense of direction is a little bad sometimes but i wasnt exactly in a very rationally mindspace to think about that
by the time the sun started to set i really started to freak out, i had to stop the car and fell onto the sidewalk trying to catch my breath, my vision started to get blurry and i could barley see my hands a foot away from my eyes
"whats happening?" i creid out "did something curse me!?"
"Probably not...remember you told me big cities make you nervous this is probably just causing you a lot of stress" Calypso told me then she grabbed my arm "we should head back Leo knows this city hell be okay" she was right i did hate the city, i avoided cities as much as possible they reminded me or the battle of manhattan and especially well trying to find Leo, but i couldn't go back until i knew he was safe,
after a while i managed to get myself back into the car and we started trying to get back into a more familiar part of the city, my mind was racing every street looked the same to me it reminded me of new york and along with that came its own memories i tried to push down
we eventualy found our way back to where Waystation was and decided to keep looking, Calypso kept reassuring me that Leo would be okay and would probably come back to Waystation, it wasnt until about ten at night when she finaly asked why Leo had even run away...
"i just assumed hed run out...like to the store or something...i was just following you" she said
"...I've been trusting your directions the entre day..." i told her now very concerned at our lack of communication
"i'm sure hes not upset he'll cool down and come back" Calypso said "well keep looking for a while but remember he knows cities he grew up running away i don't think either of us would even know where to check for him, plus he can handle himself hell come back"
we continued driving around and Calypso told me she was also kinda happy to get out because she got to miss out on chores so at least she was having a good time. if you're wondering how its possible to spend this long just driving around...its not most of the time i spend with my head on the steering wheel trying not to break down
so around two in the morning we gave up, we saw a cop car starting to take notice of us because we passed it like five times and i don't think getting arested would help so we decided to just go back to Waystation and hope Leo had come back plus Calypso has fallen asleep twice and my head was starting to pound from not drinking any water and crying so much, plus my car was running out of gas and i actually wasnt sure what kind of gas it needed..or if it needed any?
