"Well, it's about bloody time you called!" Sadie immediately chewed her brother out when she picked up. "You guys forget or something?"

"Even when distanced, they still yell at each other," Jaz rolled her eyes.

"Then tell him to get his nose out of the books and to head to bed," Sadie snapped. "He can't afford losing sleep."

My right eyebrow rose in response. "Threaten to burn the library down then, that should get him moving!"

"Are they talking about the Chief Lector?" Sean wondered.

"You are such a wimp Carter," Sadie rolled her eyes. "Wait, you seriously let him take the couch? Why?"

"Sounds like it," I finalized for my fellow magicians.

"Ugh, I can't even rely on you, can I?" Sadie complained.

"We should let them duke it out," I gestured my fellow magicians to go inside, "it's way past the allotted curfew."

They grumbled, but went inside, leaving Sadie and I alone. "We're okay, still alive and whatnot," Sadie calmed down quickly. "Met Camp Half-blood."

Silence for five seconds. "They don't obviously trust us, and I'm sure they would have taken us out if it wasn't for the demigods with us," she continued.

I leaned against the side of the ship, to the left of Sadie as she nodded sadly. "Okay, I'll talk to you tomorrow. Also, you're Pharaoh, Carter, stop letting Amos lead all the time; it's bad for his health," she sounded sincere. "He's going to end up looking like he's sixty instead of thirty-five."

She nodded and said her goodbye before hanging up to sigh. "How are they?" I asked softly.

"Great, as usual. They made it safely to Seattle. I guess Carter's appearance stirred up concern though," she summed up.

"Don't see how it wouldn't," I pointed out.

"Well, Amos has it under control so far," sadie continued. "And of course, Carter is far more concerned about us than himself."

I grinned in response, "Why are you surprised? We're the ones dealing with the demigods firsthand."

"I highly doubt they will try anything, I have a finely tuned team of magicians with me," Sadie pointed out with certainty. "Plus, this Goddess seems to have an interest in Amos. I think that's more life threatening than a pair of idiots leading intelligent beings on a flying ship."

I wrapped my right arm around her and went in for a kiss, which she hadn't refused. "You two worry a lot about Amos, but I think he truly has everything tamed for the time being."

"But there are limitations as to how much you can keep the Chaos down," Sadie continued sadly. "Especially for a Chief Lector."
