I ask getting bored. It has only been thirty seconds, but I am tired of looking at the people in the crowd trying to decide who looks important enough to be the one we are picking up. All I am seeing are a bunch of humans and if we are picking up one of them I will use Aphrodite to learn how to sword swallow. “The demon flew the coop the second we parked,” Hilda says from behind me. “I can chase him down if you want, but it might scare the humans.” I don't waste my time verifying her claim. The car still smells like strawberries to me, but a little of the arrogance has left the air. “Who wants to just leave him here?” “My guess is that he knew that would be your first idea because he is jogging at a quick pace heading in this direction,” Dad says pointing out the window. I bet this is the first time Ben has ever run. Really why would he even need to, other than the fact it looks like he has a human beside him and for some reason he doesn't just zap them both into the SUV.
