"Do not overestimate your guards, I didn't want to hurt them!" Leon shot back, eyes narrowing, "Like I said, I'm injured, if you want me to show you, but I doubt that. I stuck my neck out for your daughter more than once already on the outside. There are more fights than you think there are going on. Kim is not just one monster. The Chimera spawn has many allies that are eager to fight." In fact, the monster had to end the threats to stay in his home. When word got out that he was a demigod sympathizer, he would definitely be kicked out. Then there would be nowhere to run.
When he finished, the man began to rant his defiance to his story, and Leon's expression turned stony calm, emotionless, even. "I am telling the truth. Believe what you would like, but she is blessed by her mother. She is a powerful demigod despite being Aphrodite's child. At this age, her powers are just beginning to blossom. Every monster in the city will know of her. You are just delaying the inevitable. Most demigods die at this age. It isn't a rare thing." His voice gradually quieted at the end, and something like pity entered. He stared at him, any flicker of emotion hidden masterfully at the question. The answer was simple, and it was what he believed. No, he would not confess about it to anyone. He didn't even know it himself that he liked her just yet.
"I owe her," his guilty gray gaze slid to the floor, and he bowed his head, "You are right. It is my fault since I dragged her into this mess, even if she would have been discovered soon enough anyway. She is my friend, and if it weren't for her, I would be dead. I am going to repay her for it, a million times over."

Mr. Sullivan absorbed the information. So he must call the one person he knew could kill any monster. "Well you haven't meet everybody just yet..." he said outloud thinking of how much it would cost for the assassin to shadow his daughter like a friend. There was a chance that the girl wouldn't do so, he knew she had her own work, and he could pass liking this particular assassin since he knew her from having already called her to track down Leon. She would kill him later, having claimed she had other work these past couple nights.
Mr. Sullivan frowned at Leon "I'm afraid you have fallen for the same thing her mother controls..." he said pacing. Then Leon's last words made him pause "Then do her a favor. Stop exposing her to your dangerous world and let me send her away to a protected Academy of demigods." he said not really asking permission but rather asking him not to cause problems. He didn't want Tori to see him before leaving she had to forget him. Or else everything would be for nothing.

The son of the Nemean Lion resisted the urge to object Mr. Sullivan's assumption, deciding to just keep quiet until they came to a solution. The answer, he knew, was to send her away, somewhere she wouldnt be in harm's way.
Some other emotion foreign to him entered his being, squeezing his heart painfully as the man proposed one of the only solutions he had thought out before himself. "Silver Creek, of course. That's a good idea, and I don't object." He didn't have a right to object, and they both knew that. Tori's safety was specifically at risk, and he wanted her alive more than anything else. He could go to Hades multiple times, only to return. The daughter of Aphrodite could only die once.

Mr. Sullivan nodded “Yes, the Academy. Taught by the finest teachers both demigod and magical beings. And protected from both your kind and mine…” he said softly. He himself not liking the idea “But before I send her I request you not to visit her, it will make her reluctant to leave. Or rather more reluctant,” he told Leon trying to be kind. But it was still quite clear he disliked him.

He didn't expect Tori to be sent to Camp Half Blood. He knew that this was going to happen eventually, but just not when. His job of protecting her would finally be over, but he was going to have trouble getting her out of his head. His steady gray gaze on the man didn't waver when he spoke, "I understand that too. I won't. Don't worry about that." He turned, looking out the window. "When will she go? How many guards will you send on the way there?" He knew that his enemies would choose to move then.

Mr. Sullivan studied Leon reluctant to say. "She will leave in a couple days. We won't say the date outloud since it's shaky. But she will have enough. Half the journey won't be in the open," he told Leon. He would get Tori to a plane and have her flown over if necessarily. He would insure she had the best guards with her. He would make sure she got to the school safely. And he would most definitely call the deadliest of assasins to be a guard for this journey, Jackie Diana Robbin.

Leon nodded slowly at his reply, absorbing the information. For the next few days, he was going to find a good way to keep Kim busy, then. "I won't...see her again." The words left his mouth quietly, but burned away at his insides painfully. "I'll go. I'm...sorry for the inconvenience that I have caused." for Tori. He added silently. He glance over at the door, and instead turned with a wry smile at the man. "And I told you, your security when on, still does not pose enough of a challenge." He flipped out the small space of an open window, falling out of the building and into the darkness. The monster melted into the shadows and was gone without setting off any alarms.
