"Leo, if you don't calm down you're going to catch on fire again."
Leo glared at the blonde girl, making her flinch from the angry fire in his eyes.
"I never should have let that blonde dude take him! What if they don't even have good medical equipment?"
The son of Hephaestus started muttering to himself the others catching only phrases.
"I didn't think a single boy could affect you do much repair boy."
Leo didn't hear Luke but Annabeth smacked him on the head.
"Don't be such an insensitive jerk Luke, we were all affected at seeing a bloodied teenage guy in an alley."
Luke rolled his eyes, but he stopped teasing Leo.
"I do wonder why he was bleeding so much." Annabeth muttered to herself.
Before she could think anymore about the bleeding boy and the reason for his bleeding, Leo's voice caught her attention.
"It's on!"
The other demigods started at him in confusion before he rolled his eyes, waving his iPod in the air.
"I turned on the tracker, seems our thief is headed towards the west coast."
Luke scrunched his eyebrows in confusion.
"Why would he be headed to the west coast?"
Reyna and Frank were discussing with each other in the corner but Luke question caught their attention.
"We don't know, but I can assure you that if this demigod was Roman we would know."
Reyna straightened her back, looking like a princess daring her subjects to accuse her of lying. Her dark eyes captivated Annabeth's attention in a way that nothing else could.
Shaking her head mentally, Annabeth blushed as she realized that she had been staring at the daughter of Bellona and she was looking straight at her.
"Well, we're not eliminating the possibility that he is Roman Reyna. Like we're not eliminating the possibility that he is Greek."
Reyna's dark eyes revealed nothing but a slight nod from her made Annabeth sigh internally. It was as if Reyna had just told her that it was okay, she understood what Annabeth meant and was grateful Annabeth felt the need to explain it to her.
"Look, right now it doesn't matter if he's Roman or Greek, he could be Egyptian for all I care. We just need to find him and find him soon."
Leo's voice was unusually serious and the others started at him.
His back was to them but Annabeth could see his knuckles running white from how tight he was holding his iPod.
They all exchanged concerned glances, before Frank approached him awkwardly and our a comforting hand on his back.
"Look Leo, I don't know why you're so worried or what happened when you picked up that guy but there's nothing you can do right now. So don't focus on what happened and tell us where our thief is now okay?"
Leo visibly relaxed before taking in a deep breath, stepping away from Frank and turning to face the others his trademark impish grin on his face.
"Alright, let's find some transportation because of I'm not mistaken we're heading to the Romans."
