Timbers P.O.V

We got out of camp and I gripped my sword. Percy saw my nervousness and rubbed my back. I leaned my head on his shoulder, and Annabeth shot Percy a death glare. "Where do we go from here, Grover? What does your nose say?" Grover sniffed the air. "We are going to Florida." He said. Annabeth whistled. "Over here!" She said. We walked over to her and an old taxi drove up to us. "Olympus's fastest transportation." She said smiling. "Looks like a new York cab.." Grover said. Annabeth looked at him. "Same difference.." She spat. We got in the taxi and the three drivers said, "No credit cards no change only drachamas exact change please." They said. "Where to?" One asked. "Palm Beach Florida.." Percy said. "Ooh Florida, pricy, our type of ride." And they sped off. I held onto Percy tightly as we sped through the woods. "Are you sure you know what your doing?" Percy asked. "Yes, if we didn't know what we are doing we wouldn't be lisensed." The driver said, pointing to the license on the back of the seat. Percy looked at it closely and his eyes filled with shock. "They don't have eyes.." And they looked back at us. "Yes..." And we screamed. "We so to have an eye! It's somewhere around here.." The middle one said. "Last time I saw it you put it in the glove compartment Anger." Said the driver. "Don't use that tone in my voice!" 'Anger' said. "Ah ha here it is!" Anger said and showed us the green eye. "Shouldn't the driver get the eye?" Percy asked. I nodded. "Ahh, she'll be fine." And she put the eye in. "Tisgha (Idk) Split!" And the other girl pulled a lever, the cab splitting in half. Percy had been stuck in the middle, and right when he was bout to hit the tree Grover pulled him aside. The cab joined again and we got onto the highway. "We pay extra for that option." Anger said. "You know, the driver should get the eye, the boys a genius!" The driver said. "Oh you shut up." Anger said and she slapped the driver. They got into this fight and Percy said, "Hands on the wheel, please." But they kept fighting. "we're gonna die.. we're gonna die... we're gonna die..." He whispered and Anger looked at him. "Oh, didn't that prophecy say your gonna make it to at lease twenty?" She said. Percy looked at him. "You know about the prophecy?" And the driver hit angers head, sending the eye flying into Annabeths lap. "eww gross!" And she tossed it to me. "I don't want it!" And I threw it to Percy. Percy grabbed it and held it out the window. "NOOO!!" The three ladies shouted. "What do you know about the prophecy?" He asked. "OK OK!! 30, 31, 75, 12." And Percy just looked at them. "There Percy you got your answer!" and Grover gave the eye back to the ladies. "All I got where numbers-" And I cut him off. "Hey guys, I think we're a little short on Drachamas.." And the taxi stopped adruptly. "WHAT?!" They shouted. "What do you think we're running here, A CHARITY? Get your cheap butts OUT!" They yelled and we where thrown out. We where in D.C.... "Guys.. This isn't florida.." I said. We just looked around, and I spotted the UPS store. "Come on, I think I know someone who might know how to get to Luke." I said. We knew Luke was going after the golden fleece, and only one person would know where he is.. We walked to the UPS store and it translated to OPS. "Olympic Partial Service." I said and we walked in. "Hi, we're here for Hermes." "Umm, If you can't see I'm with a customer.. That will be 250 drachamas please, thank you 'mam and we will have this shipped by tomorrow morning." and the lady walked out. "We're here to see Hermes, It's kind of important." 
"Yeah I couldn't tell how you rudely walked in here."
"It's about his son.. Luke Lermin.. (I forgot Last Name)"
"What has that way-ward boy of mine got himself into now.." He murmered. "Your.." 
"Hermes. A little insulted you didn't recognize me. My feelings, might have even been hurt." And we walked to the back. His outfit turned into a nice fancy suit. "So, what about Luke?" 
"Well, he is going after the Golden Fleece, as well as we are, and he has a group of bandits trying to bring back Kronos and cause war." Percy said. Hermes stopped and the metal snakes on his pole turned real and where arguing. "Guys, what did I say? Hold you s' when we meet new people, it's more dramatic."
"That's very offencive, you know, snakes don't to that." The blue one protested. "Oh I love your hair! I wish my hair would do that." She said, coming up to me and refering to my braid. I backed away into Percy, Snakes where my biggest Phobia. Percy hugged me, and I stuffed my face into his chest. "Daughter of Apollo?" I nodded "Ok, you guys go look up where Luke is." Hermes said "They need to find Luke? What, do they have a death wish?" The orange snake asked. Hermes just sent them off. "I told you we should have taken a job with Hercules!" The snake said. "If you guys are going to find Luke, you might need these." And he took a thermis out of a box. "Hey!" I heard Grover yell as three guys appeared and captured him, then teleported away. "See, Luke has other people.. That changed.." Hermes looked confused. "To his side.. Luke has Grover.."
Hermes explained how the thermis held the winds from the four corners of the world, and I started to twist it open. "NO NO NOT IN HERE!" He yelled and screwed it closed. "By George was right, you do have a death wish..." He looked at Percy then back at me to make sure I didn't open it again. He just looked at us, wanting to talk to Percy privatly.

~Percys' P.O.V~

Timber and Annabeth left the room, and Hermes looked at me. "Here, you might need this." He snapped and a tape gun came from the ceiling. "Thanks.. Mythical tape gun??" And I took it confused. "You wound me.. You truely wound me.. This, whatever you tape will disapear. Gone." I held it and he looked at me. "And if you see Luke.. Please tell him, Parents.. We make mistakes. And tell him it's OK to be mad, but please not to be mad at the world.." I nodded and Timber, Annabeth and I left. "What's that?" Timber asked, pointing to the tape gun. "It's a mythical tape gun, makes things disapear.." I say as I give it to her. She puts it in her bag. We walked towards the ocean Hermes snakes told us to go to, in hope to save camp...
