Chapter 23: We Get Kicked Out Of A Museum

"So where are we off to first?" Leo asked as we walked down the street, no direction in mind. We had just finished lunch at a small Greek cafe. I learned that I really like gyro's, like a lot.

"Well," said Percy, who was holding the map, "The closest place to here is a Grecian history museum about five miles from here."

"That would make sense," I said.

"And what if it's not it?" Kylie chimed in.

"Then we keep searching," Percy said.

"Why don't we just take the object anyways?" Kylie suggested.

I glanced at her, "Because that's stealing."

"How is it stealing if it wasn't even theirs in the first place?" she questioned.

"She's got a point," said Percy.

I rolled my eyes, "Whatever."

"So are we walking? Or?" Leo asked.

"No," Kylie said, "My feet are dying. Let's hail a cab."

Everyone agreed eagerly. We had been walking all day. Percy called over a cab and we all piled in. After about a five minute, extremely boring and quiet ride, we arrived at the museum. Percy paid the driver and we approached the entrance. It reminded me a lot of the Parthenon in Athens, with Greek columns along the outside. It was relatively small, though I guess it made some sense. We weren't exactly in a major tourist city like Athens. Along the top read Μουσείο Ελληνικής Ιστορίας, though my "dyslexia" helped me to translate it into Greek Museum of History. Seemed fitting enough.

"Hello!" a younger brunette girl (most likely an intern) greeted us as we entered with a thick accent, "Welcome to the Greek Museum of History! Would you like a map of the museum?"

"Of course!" Leo said barging in front of us to take the pamphlet. I rolled my eyes.

The girl laughed and handed them a pamphlet, "Here you go!"

"Why thank you," Leo smirked.

The girl glanced at the rest of us, "You know, I can give you guys a tour if you'd like?"

"Ohhhh yes!' Leo exclaimed. The girl giggled slightly (and annoyingly if I may add).

It was Percy's time to roll his eyes, "No we're okay thank you."

"Oh come on! Why can't we-"

I flicked Leo hard in the arm before he could finish what he was saying.

"Ow!" he yelled.

I rolled my eyes and steered him away from the girl the others following behind me.

"What was that for!?" Leo protested, " I think she liked me!"

"Gods Leo you have a girlfriend!" I said,"That's me, in case you forgot."

Leo blushed, "Right."

I kissed him on the cheek, "Don't worry, I forgive you."

Kylie laughed, "Alright no PDA."

"C'mon we need to get going," said Percy, though for once I could actually hear a hint of laughter in his voice. I felt a smile creep upon my face, his laughter tugging at my heartstrings. With me around, I thought I would never hear that sound again.

"So where do we start?" I asked, "This place is full of ancient Greek artifacts."

"And that is why I grabbed a map!" Leo held up his map like a trophy and unfolded it, " Let's see...philosophy, architecture...Oh! There's a food court in here!"
