"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Do you want us to get caught?!" Said Calypso in a very hushed voice. She was very paranoid at the moment. Any little sound Leo made she just had shut him up. They were in the Palmer tech building, it was late so they assumed there would be no one would be here. Only some security guard and a women where there. The security gaurd was sleeping so getting past him was easy.

They were crouched down behind the elevator, trying to avoid the eyes of a scrawny looking women that was at the end of the hallway sitting in her desk. She seemed very busy but kept glancing up every now and then. She had on glasses that seemed to slightly slide down everytime she turned her head. Her raven hair was tied back in a bun and she seemed like she had been working for hours. Getting past her shouldn't be so hard.

CRUNCH. Calypso turned to face Leo, her face in disbelief. "Are you serious?!" She said.

Leo just kept eating his fonzies and just gave her a 'What I do?' Look. He swallowed and said, "I eat when I'm nervous and plus these are amazing. You have to try one." He handed her the bag. Calypso glared at him.

"What? You want the whole bag?"

Calypso glared at him more intensely. 2.5 seconds later Leo got the message. "Oh" He said, putting the bag of chips away in his tool belt, "Right, silence." He gave her a sheepish smile. Calypso just shook her head. "What are we going to do about her?" She asked Leo.

Leo reached into his toolbelt and pulled out a single thin pipe. "I have an idea. Ever seen Indiana Jones and the Crystal skull?"

Calypso stared at him, her face blank. "Oh, of course you haven't. Man, stuck on island for millions of years and the gods can't even send someone to install a TV with cable. What a shame." He pulled out a small thin copper wire and a knife. He began to sharpen the tip of the copper wire.

"So, there's this one part where they're attacked by some hobos with poison darts that they shoot from these pipe things and Indi has to save Henry from them. Well, I'm going to do the same." He said as he pulled out a small bottle of chloroform and dipped the tip of the copper into it.

"You're going to save us from Hobos?" Calypso asked, her face filled with confusion.

Leo smirked, "We are the hobos, nena." He put the copper into the pipe and aimed at the scrawny women. He put the pipe up to his mouth and blew it. The copper making a small whistling noise at it cut through the air. The women made a small yelp as the copper hit her left arm. Slowly she fell asleep. Leo felt proud of his aim.

"Vuala!" He said looking really proud. Calypso rolled her eyes at him but she couldn't help but smile. They got up from their hiding place and headed down the hallway. Leo noticed that she was crooked with one arm extended all the way on her desk, another hanging and her head tilted to the side with her mouth open. She was drooling.  Leo did the only thing this situation called for, he got near the lady and pulled out a camera from his pocket and took a selfi. Yeah yeah, demigods aren't supposed to use technology bla bla bla bla. Well Leo made a camera that didn't send off signals that alerted monsters.

"Leo, what are you doing?"

"What dose it look like I'm doing? I'm taking a selfi." He said. He took a quick snap and put his camera away. He readjusted the lady so she wouldn't wake up feeling sore. He turned to see Calypso smiling at him.

"What? My nose isn't on fire again is it?" He said trying to look at his nose. Calypso stifled a laugh, he was so adorable when he was being goofy. She always felt like she was safe when she was with Leo. She knew that she was mortal and she no longer had her powers but she didn't care. Leo made up for it with his sense of humor and the need to constantly make her smile. She loved him. Not because he saved her from her prison of an island but because he always tried so hard to make her happy. She stepped closer to him and wrapped her arms around his neck.
