"First off we need to see who here has black hair dye," Connor said.

The cabin turned out their stuff. Black paint. Black spray paint. Blue hair dye. But no black hair dye.

"Okay let's split up," Travis decided. "We'll canvas the camp and figure out who did it."

Everyone agreed and headed for the door.

"Wait!" Connor called. "It's April 2nd! We have to be extra careful! So what do we have to do everyone? On three! One. Two. Three."

"Avoid Chiron," the cabin chanted.

"Okay. Break."

A couple hours passed and unfortunately no progress had been made.

"I think we might need help from a third party," Travis said leading the way.

Connor groaned when he realized which direction they were walking. Travis lead the way to the Demeter Cabin. He only had to knock once on the door before Katie Gardner slammed the door open and glared. "You've got a lot of nerve coming here today of all days Stoll."

Travis backed away behind Connor. "We come seeking help!"

"Help?" Katie asked unimpressed.

"If you help us we offer a truce for up to thirty days!"

Katie paused before walking outside closing the door behind her. She folded her arms and waited. "I'm listening."

Travis came out from behind Connor as he explained. "Last year we made a truce with Annabeth and Piper. This year someone pranked them. They think we did it. We-"

"Stop talking."

"But-"

"Stop talking!"

"But!"

Katie covered Travis's mouth. "I said stop talking!" She hissed looking around. She lowered her hand and stepped back pretending to look angry as she whispered. "Annbeth and Piper are after you! You're a wanted a man! I can't be seen talking with you! Meet me at Zeus's fist after lunch."

"Okay. I have an idea," Katie said once the Stolls had explained.

"Who?" Travis demanded.

"Well... I was thinking about who's most likely to have hair dye at camp. And a whole cabin came to mind... The Aphrodite Cabin. Maybe someone in there did it to frame you both. So, who in the Aphrodite Cabin did you both piss off?"

Travis and Connor's eyes met.

"Piper obviously. Lacy last week but I don't think she'd do that," Connor said ticking off his fingers.

"Mitchell," Travis continued. "Drew..."

The two kept going and Katie facepalmed. "So all but three people?"

"No," Connor denied. "All but four."

Katie rolled her eyes. "That didn't narrow it down too much..."

"So what do we do now?"

"You should tell Piper and Annabeth."

"We can't get near Piper or Annabeth without risking our lives," Travis pointed out.

"We need a puppet!" Connor exclaimed. "Someone we can get to talk to them who will do what we want and has less risk of getting murdered by the two girls."
