"That's right." Kale said with a laugh. He started walking. "Luckily we aren't too far."

"Good," Melanie smiled.
When they arrived the first store to catch Areelah's eye was an antique shop displaying an sword with an ornate gold design on the hilt. "Need another sword Kale?" she laughed slightly.

"You never know." He said with a shrug. He looked closely at the sword. "That's actually pretty cool."

"Do you want to go look inside?" Melanie asked.

"I thought that defeated the whole purpose of window shopping?" He said with a smirk.

"Okay, okay," Areelah laughed pushing open the door.
"Point made," Melanie conceded with a smile following her inside.
The bells at the top of the door jingled. A young man sat on a stool behind the counter on his phone, oblivious to their entrance. The girls walked over to the display case.

Kale followed them in and looked at the sword in the display case. "This sword would put all of the other swords at the facility to shame." He looked at the price and frowned. "And the price is putting my wallet to shame."

The girls just exchanged a smile and tried not to laugh. "That's why its called window shopping," Melanie said.
"It doesn't really look like its been used," Areelah observed. "Maybe it was just ceremonial . . . "

"Should we ask the guy at the counter?" He asked.

Melanie glanced at the guy behind the counter skeptically.
Areelah shrugged, "Worth a try."

Kale went over to the guy at the counter. "Excuse me sir?"
"Yes how may I help you?" The guy said. His smile was from ear to ear. He seemed friendly enough.
"I wanted to know about that sword over there." Kale said.
"Yes yes let's go take a look!" He walked from behind the counter and headed over to the sword.
Kale looked at Areehlah and Melanie and shrugged before following the guy.

"Hmm... Yes very nice quality sword indeed. Most of my stuff is bargain price but this jewel here is made of celestial bronze. Very nice stuff indeed." The guy said.
Alarms went off in kales head. "Excuse me, did you say celestial bronze?"
"Yes I did. It is mainly used by Greeks." He said.

Areelah and Melanie immediately tensed and Areelah scanned the room for any sign of a trap.
"I'm sorry, did you say is?" Areelah replied, hoping they could make it out without him realizing they were demigods by playing dumb. "This sword is ancient. And what is celestial bronze?"

The guy laughed. "You can't fool me Areelah. You know exactly who you are, and so do I."
Kale suddenly noticed the store was empty except for them. He tried to send a message to tank hoping the dog would come bounding to the rescue.
