Andy didn't say goodbye either. She had no desire to. That would be like admitting she'd never see Arthur again. She watched Arthur get into the cab and closed her eyes, trying to memorize him. She followed her aunt down into an alleyway. When the door appeared, she opened her eyes wide. "Wow, how did you know?" She asked.
Andy went to the door slowly. She had grown up on the streets in part, so she was a cautious kid. She didn't want to open the door, worrying about what might happen if she did. Her heart pounded. And this wasn't even scary. She chastised herself. "So this goes where we need to go?" She asked.

Niah raised an eyebrow and all of Stella's questions. There was a lot to explain there. And, of course, Jason had no idea about where they were going either. She took a small breath. Then said, "The Caldecott Tunnel is our thing; that is the path to get to New Rome." She winced as soon as she said that. But continued. "What you're experiencing is called the Mist. It is a magical thing that can be manipulated by some, but its primary function is to prevent mortals from noticing our stuff. I can explain more while we are traveling. As for where we are going, Mount Tamalpais is a mountain north of San Francisco. It is the equivalent of Mount Othrys. Much like the Empire State building houses your Mount Olympus." She said, gesturing to the tall building.
She had a feeling she would be explaining a lot to the pair of them during this quest. At least she didn't mind doing that. Stella was the newest camper for the Greeks, and while Jason had been around for a bit, the Greeks weren't the best at orientation, and he was from a different country, so there was no surprise he didn't have a clue.
"First, we need to get to the Grand Central Station. Then we can get to an Amtrak station. Amtrak is one of the few ways to cross the US without flying. And flying is...uh... well, not the safest form of transport for our kind. Even without a kid of Neptune. It probably is fine if you're not on a quest, but being on a quest is like an auto-draw for monsters. I swear they sense it. Also, try not to say a monster's name as that attracts them too." Niah led the way toward Grand Central Station. At least New York was laid out sensically. It was practically a straight shot from where they were to Grand Central.
