"Is no one gonna ask how she knew?" Morgan almost yelled.
"Shush. I'm trying to listen to the phone conversation."
"Neeks, I know." Yelling was heard again from the phone. "Hey, hey relax, I'm with a friend." This time yelling wasn't heard. "Yes. Don't worry. I told him after the first summer."
"Look into her summers." Hotch ordered Elle and Morgan.
"But boss-"
"Go."
"Hey, he had already graduated high school and was questioning how I survived the fall." Yet another silence. "Okay, okay. Is Thalia there?" A longer silence, more yelling.

"Who did you call?"
"Cousins on my dad's side. They're coming to pick me up in a while. I'm going to the camp. I would ask you to come, but you've got a case to solve." She was about to leave when he grabbed her wrist.

"You want the real answer, or the answer that will satisfy your friends behind the glass?" She asked, motioning at the mirror.
"The real answer is all I've even wanted." He whispered pulling her into a soft hug.
"I have to go." She whispered back, pulling away slowly.
"Okay."

"Get her to talk? None of us could, and you aren't exactly the greatest interrogator." He stated.
"So you were listening in. Nice. She's just an old friend. I knew her back in Vegas. She moved here when she turned twelve. Then I lost contact." Gideon n could tell he was hiding something, but didn't want to pry.
"What do you think the passage on the wall says?" The translators still had t finished translating. It was old Greek.
"Well, Percy would know. She's fluent in Greek and Latin."
"So, what does it say, and who wrote it?"
