[color=b71d5d]"Awesome."[/color] From her tone, it was clear Andy did not think going down the creepy stairs was awesome. But she took a deep breath and started down. It had been dark until the lights came on, and the only thing reassuring about that was that Chocolate could use the shadows. 

When they saw the Sphinx, though, Andy shook her head. She was not good with riddles. Andy was barely literate before coming to Camp. She had taken some lessons and gotten a few coping mechanisms for Dyslexia since that was a common trait in half-bloods. But she still wasn't well read. Or would be considered smart by any standard.

[color=0080ff]"I'll explain as best I can. And don't worry about it too much, the monster thing. They'll show up whenever they feel like, to be honest."[/color] She had to bite back an automatic response to Jason that it was good he couldn't find his way to New Rome. Relations between the two camps were supposed to be better. And she was a Senator. She wasn't going to push the old feud, especially in a time of need like this. Niah smiled at the strange dog that seemed to claim Stella. 

She went to the counter. [color=0080ff]"Hello, could I get three tickets to San Francisco. Two teens and a kid."[/color] She asked when she got to the front of the line at the ticket counter. She hoped a train would be leaving soon. They also might have to do transfers. But at least they'd get going. 

"That will be $315," The ticket agent said. Niah's heart dropped. That was so expensive. She checked how much she had been given; it was only $100 in mortal money. She had that much again in her own money, but that wasn't enough for all three of them still. Not to mention eating. 

[color=0080ff]"I don't have that much."[/color] She looked at the ticket agent sadly.

"I can get you three on a Grayhound for $214." The ticket agent person offered. 

[color=0080ff]"I've got two hundred. How far would that get us?"[/color] She knew the ticket agent probably thought this was suspicious at this point, but there wasn't much choice. 

"Kansas City, Missouri price is 192." That didn't leave much for food, but maybe the others had some cash and even had packed some food. She had some snacks, but real food would be hard to come by. She, however, was not going to make that choice by herself. Niah turned to the other two. 

[color=0080ff]"Well, what do you two think? We can get to Missouri and then figure it out from there. That at least gets us part way."[/color] She waited to hear their opinions.
