I made a portal and met up with Alabaster.  We went out for lunch.  There was a man with him.

"Hi Zoe.  This is Dr. Howard Claymore."

"Hi Alabaster and Claymore.  So what did you want to talk about."

"We need to fight back.  The gods are not on our side.  I want you to join me."

"Alabaster I think you shouldn't do that.  You were already kicked out of camp half blood.  You wouldn't be able to get away with much."

"I have a plan.  I will join the Albany Academy.  They have a leader named Aesop who wants to have a war against camp half blood.  I haven't talked to him much but he says he could use someone like me.  I'm sure he could use someone like you too.  With all your training at this point you might almost be as powerful as me."

I didn't know how to respond.  I couldn't straight up say no.  I definitely couldn't say yes.  Even if I was interested in joining the Albany Academy, Aesop would never let me join.  Just seeing me he would probably try to kill me.

"Look Alabaster I want to join you."  I lied.  "But I can't help the Albany Academy.  They wouldn't let me.  Aesop hates me.  I will help you but not with the Albany Academy."

"Ok Zoe.  But will you still help me with attacking camp half blood."

"I have an idea Alabaster.  I will stay at camp half blood as a spy and keep you updated.  You will stay with the Albany Academy.  But you can't tell Aesop about me, he will never let this happen."

"Okay.  Let's shake on it."

"Okay."  I said taking his hand and we shook.
