"ABOUT GROVER?" Percy asked, looking down at her.
"About Camp." Annabeth corrected, looking up at him, and she led the two to the car waiting behind her, "Everything was on fire. The cabins, the arena... Right after I woke up, I sent an iris message to the Big House." She continued to yapp as the three ladies sitting closely at the front didn't say anything... yet.
"Is Erika okay?" Percy asked... seriously? That's your main concern?
"She's injured." Annabeth retorted.
"What'd Chiron say?" Percy continued.
"Didn't answer. But look." Annabeth spoke as she pulled out a sketch of a middle aged... drug dealer?
"Who's that?" Percy asked.
"No idea. But he was standing in Chiron's office," Annabeth spoke, holding the drawing in front of Percy to see, "Gave me this look, then cut me off." She continued before she turned to Percy, "And now you tell me Grover's in trouble." She spat.
"Yeah, in my dream." Percy informed, "You think that's connected?"
Suddenly, the chains that were diving the front seat and the back seat spread as a lady turned to look at them, "It's all connected, child." She spoke, looking at the boy, she was old, almost fragile or something, "Your Satyr friend is in a dark, dark place, far from anything he's ever known."
"Anger!" Another frail lady spoke, turning to look at the two, "Stop doling out sight for free. They haven't paid you."
"Yes I did." Annabeth spoke.
"Not for that, you didn't." The lady who just spoke, spoke, lifting her sunglasses off her face as she pointed out Percy.... or maybe Tyson just sitting next to them, "Extra Passenger, extra fare." She continued.
It was like she had no eyes, or maybe her eyes were sewn shut as she wore her glasses.
"Percy, I spent my last drachma to pay for you." Annabeth spoke, looking back at the boy.
"Percy?" Tyson asked, looking at the boy.
"Wait, what were you saying about Grover? You know where he is?" Percy asked, glancing between the two ladies who just spoke.
Another head turned towards them, and this one had an eye.... that was open. Finally. And she began to speak, "The Gray Sisters see all." She grinned.
"They only have one eye?" Tyson asked.
"Look...."
"Who's..."
"Talking..." they finished each other's sentences, "Pay or get out."
"Hold on. I have a drachma." Percy spoke as he began to frantically search his pants.
"Hmmm. So, this is your boyfriend, huh?" The one with an eye spoke, looking at Annabeth.
"No wonder you dream about someone who looks so much like him." The one with an eye continued.
"I never said boyfriend." Annabeth objected. The lady crackled as Percy continued to search. "I never said boyfriend." She informed. Before she turned towards the ladies.
"Okay. I believe you." Percy spoke, "Maybe we should just take the train." Percy spoke to Annabeth as he continued to search.
"No, the Gray Sisters are the fastest way to camp. We got to go there now." Annabeth informed. Her voice holding a tinge of urgency.
"Okay, found it. Found it." Percy spoke to the ladies, as if surprised at himself for not wasting all of it channeling Iris to talk to Erika, as she had been avoiding him the entire time.
