Leo and Jason had another one of their plans. The only block in their way was that they needed permission for doing this. And both boys knew they wouldn't get it. Neither Chiron nor Dionysus would ever give them permission for what they wanted to do. So, they needed a cover. They decided that they just wanted to go and start their plan, so they went to the big house and decided to improvise. Luckily, only Chiron was in there. He saw more thinks as valid reasons to go on quests than Dionysus did. Jason and Leo walked up to Chiron's desk, and looked him straight in the eye. Chiron sighed. He already knew something was going to go wrong. 'Yes, Leo and Jason, what is it that you want?' He asked. Leo and Jason stood there for ten seconds, thinking about what they were going to say. It began to get awkward, so just before Chiron was about to break the silence and send them away, Leo blurted out: 'Chiron, we need to go find Waldo!' Jason looked at him like he was crazy. Chiron smile faded slightly. Yet, Leo kept a smile on his face. 'Waldo?' Chiron asked. 'I don't think I've ever heard of any boy, or girl, or non-binary child, with that name in camp. I don't suppose you mean the man from the books, right, Leo?' Chiron folded his arms and looked at Leo. Leo swallowed. 'Well, that's why we need to find him! He is an, eh, new demigod?' Jason mumbled. 'How do you know of Waldo?' Chiron asked. 'That implies that you two were out of camp without permission.' 'No!' Leo screamed. 'Sorry, Chiron,' he said after that. 'But, we heard it via Iris message!' 'And, er... Hazel, was Iris messaging us!' Jason blurted out. 'Hazel? Why didn't she bring the child to camp Jupiter?' Chiron started to sound annoyed. 'Because he's greek! You can't just put him in the wrong camp, Chiron!' Jason said, nodding knowingly. 'You've been here pretty long, Jason.' 'The power of love!' Jason added. 'Do you know how Waldo looks?' Chiron asked, with a smirk. 'Striped shirt, round glasses, brown hair and a silly hat!' Leo blurted out. Jason looked at him, panicking. 'That sounds familiar, somehow,' Chiron said. He was about to burst out laughing. Jason went further: 'He has a really silly hat, you know! Even sillier than Hermes' hat!' 'I don't think the lord of messengers would like you to criticize his hat.' 'But, well, the point is, it isn't like Waldo from the where's Waldo books!' Jason started to sweat. This was going absolutely nowhere. If they had just prepared, he knew that he and Leo would have been out of the Big House ages ago. Chiron stared at his pencil, like he was thinking hard. 'You know, I am not sure you two really want to go find a new demigod called Waldo. Maybe I should ask Mr. D if he wants to decide...' 'NO!' Leo and Jason yelled in union. 'Like, erm, we also need to find Percy! Who's dressed like Waldo! In Sydney!' Leo screeched. Chiron sighed. 'So Percy. And is he dressed like Waldo from Where's Waldo, or as Waldo the new demigod?' Jason and Leo bit their lips, but Chiron smiled. 'Did you two need a cover because you wanted to go to MacDonald's and do something in New York, but you didn't prepare?' He asked. The boys nodded. 'This one time, you two can go to New York. Just, don't blow up the Empire State Building, send lighting to the Chrysler Building or set the Statue of Liberty on fire, good?' The boys nodded. 'Thanks, Chiron,' Jason said. Chiron smiled at them. 'Don't forget about Waldo and Percy, okay?' He winked. The demigods walked out of the office. When they were outside, they cheered. Jason picked up Leo, and together they flew to New York.
In New York, they got an Iris Message from Hazel. The boys almost choked on their burgers. 'Hello guys, I was just going to ask you...' 'is there a demigod called Waldo and do we have to find him?' Leo and Jason said. Hazel gave them a weird look. 'No, I was going to ask you two if you could help with Frank's birthday party, but if you two are busy...' 'No, tell us everything!' Leo quickly said, while he took another big bite out of his cheap, well-earned hamburger.
