Clara, Joseph, and Mira walked inside the Empire State Building confidently. Everywhere, tourists and workers were walking around, going about their day.
Mira went up to the front desk. ""Sir, we need to go up to Mount Olympus." she whispered.
The man behind the desk leaned forward. "I have no idea what you mean."
Joseph held out his hand, showing something. It was a drachma. "Is this proof?" he asked.
The man picked it up, as if detecting a forgery, then gave it back. "Yes. Now what camp are you from?"
"Camp Half-Blood." said Clara.
"OK. I'll let the gods know to switch to their Greek forms if they aren't in them already." he replied.
Mira saw a badge on his chest that read Jeff. She whispered the name to Joseph and Clara.
Jeff turned around again. "Guess what? They didn't respond. I'll just send you up." he informed, walking to the elevator. The demigods filed inside, and Jeff gave them a brief wave. The doors closed, and they moved up at such a great speed.
"Wheeeeeeeeeee!" Mira squealed.
Clara and Mira started bouncing around while Joseph just stood there, looking unhappy.
Ding!
Joseph opened the doors to let everyone out. "We are here, so quit goofing off." he said.
Clara just rolled her eyes. "We'll get our manners back when we reach the Olympians!" she whined.
"Clara? I don't think we are going to do that." called Mira.
They turned to see what Mira spoke of.
The tall marble pillars and statues seemed to be crushed or destroyed by someone. No Greek Fire was flickering, no Muses or nymphs dashing around. The trio walked on to the main hall..no gods.
"Wha-how?" Clara shrieked.
"Someone's been here." Joseph muttered.
"You don't say?" Mira mocked.
"Quiet! Don't joke!" Clara scolded her, glaring. She knelt down in some rubble feeling around. "There has to be something to tell us where they went." she explained.
"What if nobody's home and a hurricane passed by?" Joseph asked.
"Possible, but no. This place is high above the clouds, meaning a hurricane would not affect it. The part that is possible is nobody's home." she explained.
"Let's look around then." Mira said.
She and Joseph split up and looked in other rubble near Clara. "Heh, this feels like we are on Criminal Minds." he said.
"What?" Mira stammered.
"I know, right? My favorite character is Reid." said Clara.
"Indeed! That genius!"
"Guys!" Mira yelled
"What? It's a good show." Joseph protested.
"What? No, not that. I found something."
Clara and Joseph ran over to join her. Mira held out a watch. It was ticking, but very fast. Suddenly, there was a rumble.
"Mira, did you check for booby traps?" Clara asked, sounding afraid.
"No. Was I supposed to?"
"Crap. Yes, you were."
