Taylor's on again, off again boyfriend was a man by the name of Joe Rinaldi. He and Taylor had lived in a flat downtown Tampa, according to the file.

The only problem was, that once we arrived at the "Sandpiper" apartment building and we trekked up four flights of stairs to apartment 407 and knocked, no one answered.

"Aww come on!" I whined. I just wanted to find this girl and get her to Hades so I could get home, and relax, finally.

"He's probably just not home" Percy said shrugging his shoulders.

"No! We only have a week! He has to be home!" I said pulling the doorknob, then suddenly, the most curious thing happened, the door opened.

"Nice" Percy said as we stared inside. But boy, was I wrong when I thought our problem was that he wasn't home at the moment. I had never considered he might not live here anymore.

"Shit" Percy said as we stared into a room with nothing except a lone garden chair sitting in it.

"What do we do now?" I ask glumly.

"Find out where he lives now, I guess" Percy said.

"Wait, do you hear that?" I asked as I heard a soft muttering. I walked in a couple of steps until I could make out the words.

"Stupid people, what are they thinking? They can't move here! This was our house! How dare they even think they should live here!" I started walking towards the voice.

"Annabeth, wha-?" Percy started. I walked into the furthest room back where the voice was coming from. As I opened the door, I was surprised to see we were not alone.

The ranting had been coming from a woman. Around twenty-ish, short blond hair, stunning, blue eyes. She was packing back and forth when she saw me.

"Oh, look, another one. This one look like she's just waltzed in here, all on her own. Stupid people. She's looking at me like she can see me!" She said staring at me.

"I can see you! And I am not stupid!" I said as she looked at me dumbfounded.

"You can see me?" She asked. It was then I knew who she was, Taylor Renee Herbert.

"Yes! I can see you and I also know you're dead. Now, if you'll just come with me I'll gladly-"

"Go with you? I don't even know you!"

"Annabeth, who are you-" Percy said walking in. "Oh, you found her. Well that was fast…"

"I'm Annabeth, and this is Percy. And you have to come with us, it's very important." I stared her down.

"No. I'm not going anywhere, not without Joe." She replied leaning on the wall.

"Joe? Joe's alive, you're dead. It's not gonna work" Percy said. Well you're dead and I'm alive Percy. I thought, but that was besides the point.

"Well, I"ll just wait for him to die! I don't care if it takes a hundred years, I'm waiting." She angrily said.

"Well, I think we know what the unfinished business is…." Percy said looking at me.

"Unfinished what?" She asked looking annoyed.

"Your unfinished business, the reason you can't move on" I told her.

"Oh well, then yes." She sighed.

"But you don't understand! You have to come with us1" I said, rather loudly.

"Why? Why is it so important to you that one lousy, dead, girl stays here?" She eyed me.

"Because! If you don't come with us so we can bring you to where you're supposed to be, my husband….fiancée won't be able to stay here!" I yelled at her.

"Well why? Did you make a pact with the devil or something?" She asked snootily.

"Or something" Percy laughed.

"No, he's supposed to be dead." I said softly.

"Well you see? He got himself dead, and I got myself all dead. Now we'll both just have to live with the consequences." She said arrogantly. I was already fed up with her.

"Did you really love him?" Percy asked softly.

"Yes" She replied.

"did he love you?" He asked gingerly.

"I don't know, he never told me." She said in a sunken voice.

"If we need to find you, will you be here?"

"It's not like I have anywhere else to go" She sighed.

"Well thank you Taylor."

"What was that all about?" I asked as we started walking down the stairs again.

"Don't you see? We just need to get Joe to tell Taylor he loved her! That's what's holding her back!" He smiled huge.

"Ya know for a seaweed brain, you're not that dumb" I smiled, until a thought struck me.

"But Percy, what if he didn't love her?"

"…..We'll cross that bridge when, and if, we have to." He said as we reached the bottom of the stairs.

"And Perce?"

"Yeah?"

"Where is Joe?"

"….That's an excellent question."
