SCENE THIRTEEN

~~~

INT. GREYHOUND BUS

GROVER and PERCY sit next to each other. GROVER looks around, fidgeting.

PERCY: Looking for Kindly Ones?

GROVER: Wh-what do you mean?

PERCY: Whatever the heck you and Mr. Brunner were talking about. Kindly Ones, right?

GROVER: How much did you hear?

PERCY: Eh. Not a lot. What's the summer solstice deadline?

GROVER: Look, Percy...I was just worried for you, see? Hallucinating about demonic math teachers that don't exist...

PERCY: Grover—

GROVER: And I was telling Mr. Brunner that the stress was getting to you, because there is no Mrs. Dodds, and—

PERCY: You're an awful liar.

GROVER slumps against his seat, and digs a hand into his pocket. He takes out an old looking business card, and hands it to PERCY.

GROVER: Just take this, okay? Just in case you need me.
