AEOLUS smiled at Jason like he was issuing a challenge.

Behind him, Mellie shook her head in warning.
"Yeah," Jason said. "We need to find the lair of Enceladus."

Aeolus's smile melted. "The giant? Why would you want to go there? He's horrible! He doesn't even watch my program!"

Piper held up the photo. "Aeolus, he's got my father. We need to rescue him and find out where Hera is being held captive."

"Now, that's impossible," Aeolus said. "Even I can't see that, and believe me, I've tried. There's a veil of magic over Hera's location— very strong, impossible to locate."

"She's at a place called the Wolf House," Rebecca said.

"Hold on!" Aelous put a hand to his forehead and closed his eyes.
"I'm getting something! Yes, she's at a place called the Wolf House!
Sadly, I don't know where that is."

"Enceladus does," Piper persisted. "If you help us find him, we could get the location of the goddess-"

"Yeah," Leo said, catching on. "And if we save her, she'd be really grateful to you—"

"And Zeus might promote you," Jason finished.

Aeolus's eyebrows crept up. "A promotion-and all you want from me is the giant's location?"

"Well, if you could get us there, too," Jason amended, "that would be great."

Mellie clapped her hands in excitement. "Oh, he could do that! He often sends helpful winds—"

"Mellie, quiet!" Aeolus snapped. "I have half a mind to fire you for letting these people in under false pretenses."

Her face paled. "Yes, sir. Sorry, sir."

Rebecca felt sorry for Mellie, she seemed very sweet.

"It wasn't her fault," Jason said. "But about that help..."

Aelous tilted his head as if thinking. Then Jason realized the wind lord was listening to voices in his earpiece.

"Well ... Zeus approves," Aeolus muttered. "He says ... he says it would be better if you could avoid saving her until after the weekend, because he has a big party planned-Ow! That's Aphrodite yelling at him, reminding him that the solstice starts at dawn. She says I should help you. And Hephaestus... yes. Hmm. Very rare they agree on anything. Hold on ..."

Her friend's parents were there for them, Rebecca hated the way her stomach tugged down with... jealousy.

Jason whispered to her, "I'm sure whoever your godly parent is watching over you."

She gave him a small smile, "yeah."

She was watching over but not because she cared, because of a deal, if anything Rebecca was better of dead in her mother's eyes.

Back toward the entrance, Rebecca heard a loud belch. Coach Hedge waddled in from the lobby, grass all over his face. Mellie saw him coming across the makeshift floor and caught her breath. "Who is that?"
