The adventures of Leo and Calypso

Chapter 8: Now Calling Ticket Number Festus
Disclaimer: I do not own PJO or HoO. Rick Riordan, the one that created the awesomeness that is Leo Valdez, does.
(A/N) I started this chapter right after I finished the last one so I could prove that I could post more frequently. Also, this chapter gets a little gruesome at the end.
Previously, on The Adventures of Leo and Calypso, "Festus says were on the coast of San Diego. All we have to do is go due East and stay on that course until we get to Atlanta and then go North to Cleveland. After we get there we go back East to New York. Then we find camp half blood." Calypso was impressed. "Wow Leo, you really know what you're doing!" And then, they started their way East.
Leo POV
As Festus was flying over downtown San Diego, Leo was starting to get nervous. He hadn't refueled him for a long time. Leo decided to stay on their path until they got to Tucson. Once they got there, he would find more fuel for him. Leo was brought out of his thoughts by Calypso. "Umm Leo, our altitude is going down." She said. "Holy hephaestus!" He had misjudged Festus's remaining fuel. "Ok Calypso, were going to have to refuel." At least they weren't falling straight down like Leo, Piper, and Jason did when they had literally fallen into Monocle Motors in Detroit. As he told this to Calypso, she laughed so hard and loud that as he looked down, mortals were starting to notice. "Okay Calypso, you can stop now."
Calypso POV
As soon as Festus started to descend, she got worried that they wouldn't make it to a place they, (Meaning Leo) could refuel the big bronze dragon. "Okay Calypso, we're going to land at the San Diego airport. It looks like we're going to fly the mortal way to Tucson. I have just enough money for that." Calypso was very skeptical about this idea. "How are we going to disguise Festus? It's not like we could just put him into our overhead compartment." Leo smiled and said, "Actually…"
(1 hour later)
Leo POV
As the son of Hephaestus, Leo could manipulate machines as him and Calypso went through the metal detector, he focused on making it not notice the heavy bronze colored suitcase. Then he heard a beeping sound. Leo's stomach lurched. But then settled when he saw a man in the detector next to theirs, surrounded by airport security. Someone screamed, "He's got a-" "BANG BANG!" Suddenly the person who had screamed fell dead with two bullet holes in his forehead spurting blood. More gunshots resonated around the airport along with screams of people who saw what happened. Then, one by one the security personnel slumped on the ground with bullet holes in their hearts. Later, Leo begrudgingly thought that this person was a very efficient killer. "Calypso, get down!" Then, 5 seconds later Festus, who was cleverly disguised as the bronze suitcase, burst into life.
(A/N) Could I just take a minute to say that I finished this chapter really quick? Ok, thanks. Pretty long chapter this time, you're welcome. Also, this time you see why this fanfic is rated T, right? Sorry about the little cliffhanger there, I just wanted to get this chapter posted and use that part for the next chapter.
