(Nico – in the middle of the night)

They were walking around. “You know, Nico. Are you sure you saw them? Not a trick of light of someone that looks like them.” Nico turned around toward Thaila and rolled his eyes. “No it was them I am sure of it.” Nico started. “I was at the fair they had yesterday, that was right before I called you. I turned around and they both standing there. Percy spotted me before I saw him so I couldn’t sneak up on them. It surprised me to see them here, but what surprised me the most was that he looked scared like seeing scared him to death.” 

Chiron looked at Nico. “Scared?” Nico nodded “And it also bothered them. When he told Annabeth she looked she was about to cry.” 

“Aww, you making her cry” Thaila said teasing him. “Hey!” Nico said. Sensing a argument, Matt jumped in and said “Guys lets, just find them. Stop arguing. When we find them we will ask them.” Suddenly Conner and Travis Stoll walked up; “Well finding them is going to be hard than we thought. When we went to find if they had gotten an apartment or a hotel room, but there was nothing with ether of their names on it.” Conner concluded. 

Thaila crossed her arms. “Anything useful?” She asked. Travis cleared his throat, “Um, yeah. We found out that Percy was working at an animal place, were the take care of them or something like that.” Thaila arched an eyebrow. “Why would Percy be working there?” Travis shrugged “How would I know.” 

“Okay. Let’s go there than.” Chiron said, pushing his wheelchair forward. Nico trudged forward after them. I’m not crazy, he thought I really did see him. I know I did. “So where is this place Percy works at or worked at?” Nico asked the stoll brothers. Nico looked at them to see them holding a map. “Hmm.” Was the answer he got. “Hello? Guys! Where is the place he worked?” 

Suddenly they started to walk of the way the came. “This way” they both said at the same time. Nico and the others just could follow. They went for a block until the heard a loud CRASH! A few buildings down the door swung open with force. Then a huge black wolf and a white one bursts out. Then Nico realizes, It’s the wolves that were on the beach! Nico unsheathed his sword. 

But the reaction from the black wolf was very different than Nico’s. When the monster barged out it was running full speed, but as soon as it saw all the demigods it froze. It looks scared. And it looked exactly like Percy did when Percy saw him.

(LINE BREAK) 

Percy woke Annabeth up slowly. “Annabeth come on we got to get out of here.” It took five minutes but she finally got up. They turned into humans, and unlocked the door. “Lets go.” Percy said. Annabeth nodded, but then stopped, “Wait, aren't there security cameras in here?” Percy nodded and rummaged in his pocket and pulled out a key.

“This leads to the were the TVs are, and the tapes. We can destroy the tapes so they don’t find anything out.” Then they went up stairs and went into a room that had a lock on it. Percy opened the door with the key. They walked into the room. “ The tape will be right there.” Percy said pointing. Annabeth walked over, took her jacket off, wrapped it around her hand, and then grabbed the tape. Percy was confused, Annabeth must of saw it and then said, “So there are no fingerprints.” 

“Oh.” Percy just answered. “Seaweed brain” Annabeth muttered. “OK lets go.” Percy said. They get to work on getting read of the evidence. “Crap.” Annabeth said. Percy looked over at Annabeth. “What?” Annabeth took a breath then said “ The camera won’t stop recording so we won’t have enough time to get out before it catches us on tape. We won’t have time to come back and make sure we are not on it.” Percy was nodding while explained that. “ So we will be seen anyway?” Percy concluded. “Yes.” Annabeth replied. Percy put on a thinking face, as he called it. 

Then he got an idea. “Annabeth, what if we turn into wolves and then go out the door. The camera will just see us as wolves, so they won’t find out its us.” Annabeth, as all Athena kids do, pondered the idea. Finally she sighed. “Well, I can’t think of any thing better, so… lets do it.”  

They got to work intill they were ready to go. To Annabeth surprise it worked. They got out quickly and got to the door to outside. Percy ran toward it and slammed into the door. It busted open and flung out wildly. They ran out and turned. They needed to get out of here as soon as possible- Percy skidded to a halt at what he saw. Annabeth did the same beside him. Nico, Thaila, Chiron, and some other were standing there a hundred feet in front of them. Nico already had his sword drawn. Percy had a bad feeling there was no way out.
