I stopped.
“What the fuck was that?” I said in a whisper to myself. In reality, I knew exactly what it was, but I didn’t know what caused it.
Let’s backtrack for a moment, shall we?Hi, I’m Leo Valdez. I’m a Greek half-blood. Son of Hephaestus. So basically, I’m good with machines, bad with organic life(ft my dad), and can willingly catch myself on fire (I try not to though because one of my friends is very… “flammable” you can say). I grew up with my mom and my “babysitter” Tia Callida who later turned out to be Hera in disguise trying to train me to save her later(long story).
My mom worked at a repair shop, so, in short, I grew up there and know Morse code. Me and mama would always say “I love you” in Morse code while we were in different rooms. Ever since she died(Gaia’s fault and again, long story), I tap it whenever. All caught up? Nice. So I was on the Argo II in my bunk when I heard it. In translation, “.. / .-.. --- ...- . / -.-- --- ..- / - --- ---“ means I love you too.
I sat up, confused. Does anyone else know Morse code? If so, who? Out of curiosity, I tapped:

PERCY KNOWS MORSE CODE? Out of all people, I thought Annabeth was the most likely to know it, but PERCY?

Ok, how does he know Morse code because of his DAD?

Shit. Ok, well as this would lead to questions, I told him.

Silence.
