Amos sipped his coffee. Sorry if that distubed you. Khufu's very picky. He only eats foods that end in -o. Doritos, burritos, flamingos. I blinked. Did you say- Carter, Sadie warned. She looked a little queasy, like she'd already had this conversation. Don't ask.

George unhinged his jaw and coughed up a little plastic bottle filled with chewable vitamins. You're kidding, I said. Are those Minotaur-shaped? Hermes picked up the bottle and rattled it. The lemon ones, yes. The grape ones are Furies, I think. Or are they hydras? At any rate, these are potent.
