Eden had to hand it to Piper, it was awesome how she got the helicopter. As soon as they stepped in Eden sat down and eased her leg onto the seat beside her. While Piper talked to her dad, Eden made sure to occupy herself and not listen in.
She asked Jason to help with her leg. He wrapped it up in a splint but there was nothing much they could do. She ate as much ambrosia as she could and let her burn wounds and leg partially heal.
As they passed over the hills into the East Bay, Jason tensed. He leaned so far out the doorway Eden was afraid he'd fall.
He pointed. "What is that?"
As far as Eden could see, there was nothing interesting. Hills, woods, houses and small roads through the canyons. A highway cut through a tunnel in the hills, connecting the East Bay with the inland towns.
"Where?" Piper asked.
"That road," he said. "The one that goes through the hills."
Piper talked to the pilot through the coms, but the answer wasn't very exciting. "She says it's Highway 24," Piper reported. "That's the Caldecott Tunnel. Why?"
Jason stared intently at the tunnel entrance, but he said nothing. It disappeared from view as they flew over downtown Oakland, but Jason still stared into the distance, his expression almost as unsettled as Piper's dad's.
"Monsters," her dad said, a tear tracing his cheek. "I live in a world of monsters."

Air traffic control didn't want to let an unscheduled helicopter land at the Oakland Airport—until Piper got on the radio. Then it turned out to be no problem.They unloaded on the tarmac, and everyone looked at Piper.
"What now?" Jason asked her.
"First thing," she said. "I—I have to get my dad home. I'm sorry, guys."
"Oh," Leo said. "I mean, absolutely. He needs you right now. We can take it from here."
"Really Piper?" Eden couldn't believe it. I mean, they'd come all this way for Piper to bail before they saved the world? "After all this, you're going to leave? I get that you care about your dad, but really-" She stopped after she saw the judgmental look on Jason's face and the heartbroken one on Piper's.
"Pipes, no." Her dad had been sitting in the helicopter doorway, a blanket around his shoulders. But he stumbled to his feet. "You have a mission. A quest. I can't—"
"I'll take care of him," said Coach Hedge.
"You?" Piper asked.
"I'm a protector," Gleeson said. "That's my job, not fighting."
For a moment, Hedge looked very upset. Then he straightened, and set his jaw. "Of course, I'm good at fighting, too." He glared at them all, daring them to argue.
