"Yeah you are, cause its true" Risk said. He swatted away Nate as he tried to rap his arm up. "I'm fine" He pulled a plastic bag from his backpack which contained Ambrosia squares. He took one out and ate it before returning the baggie to his backpack.

"There is no way of knowing for sure. Maybe one of the gods did? Or maybe..." Risk didn't continue. "Well we have got to get out of here before more monsters show up" He moved out of the alley and back onto the sidewalk of DC.

"Jupiter himself appeared before the senate and said I of all people needed to come find some kid in DC. You were in California though? Typical of the gods" Risk mumbled the last part. They walked down the street.

"I told you, we are going back to California. We need to get to Camp Jupiter" Risk said. "You hungry kid?"...
((time skip))
Risk used the last of his mortal dollars and bought bus tickets. They got on the bus. "We'll have to figure something out to get us the rest of the way there" He said. "So got any questions I can answer?"

"I am a son of Apollo, god of the sun. Manipulating light is a rare gift that my siblings occasionally get. The senate is the government of Camp Jupiter and New Rome. Its made up of a few of the Legion veterans and the leaders of the Cohorts. As well as the to Praetors" Risk said. "How did you end up being chased by the Chimera?"

"well i was at my school and we were having soccer practice and everything stopped. like time stopped for everyone and everything but me, and then the chimera climbed out of the ground like it was made out of quick sand, like it rippled and everything. and then i just ran away and ended up here."

"And then you some how ended up in DC?" As they talked two girls got on the bus. As they passed Risk noticed one of them wink at him. He thought there was something strange about them but he couldn't decide what. "When we get to the rest stop I need to contact the Senate" He said.

"Weird, maybe the gods are messing with us. Well you best try to sleep, I recon it will be the only chance you get for a while" Risk said. He lowered the hat over his face and attempted to sleep.

The two got off for the bus stop. They went over to a pay phone and Risk put in some coins before calling a number he had been told to call if anything happened or if he found the kid. "Grando et quinque cohortes legionis" Was what he heard when some one answered the phone. Risk replied "Hoc nos ostendamus nos misericordias omnibus qui resistere" Also in Latin. "Do you have him?" Asked the voice, who Risked guessed was Adam on of the Praetors for camp Jupiter. "Yes"
Risk went on to recount the events that had happened. Little did either Risk or Nate realize that they were being watched. "See that you make it back as soon as possible. I would hate to have to send some one else to come and save you" Adam replied. With that the call ended.
There was a sudden pain on the back of Risk's head as he hung up the phone and he blacked out.
((Just so you know what to post those two girls from earlier turn out to be empusai and attack them from behind. Nate fights back a bit but is soon also struck and blacks out))
