Kapitel 86: Too Much Of A Gamble

Penelope was completely spent after two back-to-back days of double duty at work. She was ready to sleep until noon.

Her plans were derailed when she noticed Percy camped out on the stairs leading up to her apartment. He had a few pieces of equipment she didn't recognize lying next to him as well as a bag of trail mix and a water bottle. It looked like he had been there a while. 

"Uh…what are you doing here?" she asked. 

Percy looked up at her like she was stupid. "Collecting data. I need to get a full twenty-four hours' worth to make sure I don't miss anything." 

Okay. This wasn't her area of expertise so she couldn't exactly judge him for whatever it was he was doing. But… "How long have you been here?"

"Since 8 AM. I won't be leaving until I have everything I need."

"What exactly are you looking for?" Penelope asked curiously.
