Candy bar Quote by Rick Riordan
““What?” Annabeth said nervously. “You see invaders?” “No, right there—Dylan’s Candy Bar.” Connor grinned at his brother. “Dude, it’s open. And everyone is asleep. Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” “Connor!” Katie Gardner scolded. She sounded like her mother, Demeter. “This is serious. You are not going to loot a candy store in the middle of a war!” “Sorry,” Connor muttered, but he didn’t sound very ashamed.””
