"Triple G Ranch. Your mark was on the crates at camp. Quintus got his scorpions from you," says Percy.

"Quintus short? Grey haired? Muscular, swordsman? Never heard of him," says Geryon,"we got lots more than giant scorpions though. Fire breathing horses, hippalektryons. The herds of sun cows make great eating."

He holds up a piece of meat he was grilling. I feel this itch inside my brain. There was horses around somewhere, and they were not happy. A whiff of odor comes in.

"What's that stench?" Asks Grover.

"Poop," says Tyson.

"My stables actually. They belong to Aageas, but I watch over them for a fee. That's where we keep the prize flesh eating horses. They're a little messy but dies an army care?" Says Geryon.

"Plus your to cheap to hire someone to clean them," says Eurytion.

"An army? You work for Kronos. Your supplying his army with horses, food, whatever they need," I say.

"I work for anyone with gold little lady. I'm a businessman. Someone has to fill demand," says Geryon.

"Your a monster!" Says Annabeth.

"What have it away? Was it the three bodies?" Says Geryon with a chuckle.

"I don't care about any of this Geyron. We have business to discuss," says Nico.

" I notice your ghost friend isn't around. Typical. Minos always disappears when things get difficult," says Geyron.

"Minos? The evil king that imprisoned Daedalus?" Says my brother.

"That's who's been giving you advice?" Says Annabeth.

"It's none of your business, Percy!" Says Nick getting out his sword, "Geyron, what do you mean about things getting difficult? I warning you-"

Nico get cut off by Geyron snatching away Nico's sword.

"You see, Nico, like is offering very good money for half-bloods. Especially powerful ones. I'm sure when he learns you the son of hades he'll pay very well," says Geyron.

"You fiend!" Yells Nico.

"As for the rest of you, don't worry. I've been paid to give you safe passage," says Geyron.

"We aren't leaving without Nico!" Yells Percy.

"If your smart that's exactly what you'll do," say Geyron.

You said your a businessman. If I can clean your stars, you let all of us go. Including Nico. If I fail you can ask us all to Luke," says Percy.

I can tell how desperately Percy wants to make it up to Nico right now.

"No! I don't want you help!" Yells Nico.

"Deal, you have until sunset. No later," says Geyron, "now run along. I'll keep your friends with me."

"Percy I hope you know what your doing," says Annabeth.
