Snake (George) - "Demi-Google Luke," he said. Except how am I supposed to type without fingers?
The man came back with the snakes.
Snake #2 (Martha) - You were supposed to use the mouse!
Snake (George) - I'm a snake. I eat mice.
Hermes - All right, thank you. Have you found Luke?
Snake (George) - Did he just say "thank you"?
Snake #2 (Martha) - I'm sure it was just a lapse. Luke's on a yacht called the Andromeda. It's passing by Chesapeake Beach as we speak.
Percy - Thank you.
Snake (George) - You're sssso welcome. There, you happy?
Hermes - Hush.
The snakes turn back to silver.
Jessica - Thank you. You found my brother, now let's go.
I walked to leave.
Hermes - Hold it.
I stopped and walked back.
Percy - Thank you very much.
Percy shakes hands with my dad.
Hermes - Hey, listen...
He looks at Annabeth and Tyson. They leave us three alone.
Hermes - If you see Luke, please explain him for me, that, uhh, parents, we make mistakes sometimes.
I raise my eyebrow giving him a serious face as he talked to Percy.
Hermes - And he has every right to be angry at me, and, you too.
He looks at me, I sigh looking away.
Hermes - Just, please tell him not to be angry with the world.
Percy - I'm not sure if there's anything that I can say that will change him.
Hermes - Try. If there's one thing I've learned in 3000 years, it's you can't give up on family.
I scoffed by what he said.
Percy - Thanks again.
Percy left me with my dad.
Jessica - Can't give up on family? Have you seen yourself, dad?
Hermes - Please, daughter. I have one child already mad at me and the world, don't hate on me too.
Jessica - You gave up on family since the moment you left my brother and I!
I talked normally that Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson heard.
Hermes - And you know why.
Jessica - I gotta go.
Hermes stops me.
Hermes - Hey. I never stopped watching over you two. I hope you know that. But, understand me when I tell you this.
My eyes became watery I looked away.
Hermes - I will always love you two. No matter what.
I sigh avoiding to look at him in the eye.
Hermes - I love you two so much. I am so sorry.
Jessica - So. What. You try reaching out to Luke but not your other daughter? The youngest one? I don't even remember my mother, Luke took care of me. I was a child. And I never knew my father because he stayed sitting relaxing never thinking about his children.
