She hugged him and said, "Dad, you can't live your life scared for me. Protect me, yes. But don't let him turn you into someone you're not. Cause then you won't be my father anymore. You'll be a guy who doesn't know who he is. You'll become scared and bitter and I'll lose you again and that is worse than anything else Poseidon could do to me."

"He won't go that easy. I know he's hurt you before and I don't want him to again." He tugged on her hand a little pulling her over to him so he could give her another fatherly hug. If anything, he didn't want Posidon to destroy what he had. This was his family.

"Well... you don't have to quit, but I think you should. You could at least tell him no to stalking Medusa. And if there is backlash.. well, whatever the backlash is, we'll deal with it together. And maybe if you're lucky, he'll never speak to you again." and she offered a small smile.

"I just worry what the backlash will be when I tell him I quit." Poseidon was bound to do something equally more horrible than turn him to stone. It was just a matter of what and when and it would hit him hard. "You know how he holds his grudges."

"Dad you can't do this.. this isn't just spying, this is risking your LIFE. And you were doing this for me?? Cause of a stupid job?" she was totally in disbelief. This was not something to trifle with!

"She didn't always have snakes for hair, but yeah, that one." She squeezed so tight he could feel her nails dig into his palm. "I don't know if she can, but I have my own fears to being turned to stone." Nike he warned him of that as well.
On Tuesday, May 17, 2016, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
Her brows shot up, "The lady with the snakes for hair? The one who can turn people to stone?" her grip tightening, "Can she still do that? Even if she can't... Dad.. that is not someone you wanna mess with. I mean you're immortal but stone isn't death.."

"Medusa." He still felt a chill up his spine at what she could possibly do to him before Poseidon even got to him. It didn't feel right and there was the fear of turning into stone for the rest of eternity.

"Probably cause it is dirty. Who're you spying on?" she was sympathetic even tho her own boyfriend had been a creepy stalker spy on more than one occasion. But that was different.
On Tue, May 17, 2016 at 2:59 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"Right now it's nothing. He's got me spying on someone for him. It makes me feel dirty." Because Theseus wasn't that kind of guy anymore. He didn't do those kinds of things to get attention or get something he wanted. He didn't have to convince people he was this better person, the only ones that mattered saw him for it. It was not letting Poseidon convince him otherwise.
On Tuesday, May 17, 2016, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
"Do you want to tell me about it?" she asked gently. She didn't want there to be secrets between them (except the ones that made her boyfriend look terrible and she liked the fact that her father now didn't want to actively kill him).

It was such a foolish and rash decision to make and yet part of him was ready to jump ship with her. Right now. He squeezed her hand back, no saying anything but clearly considering just not going back and face the consequences.

Zoe reached for her father's hand, "Dad.... you don't have to do what he says. You're a better man than he is. You can walk away. And whatever happens, we'll weather it together. As a family. Like we should." she gave his hand a squeeze, "I rather be jobless than fatherless."

Poseidon knew how to strike and twist Theseus' conscience. He had one now and it was a hell of a lot easier to exploit. Poseidon held grudges, and in this state if Theseus were to just walk away now? What would he do then?

"The only way you're gonna fail me as a father is if you stop being one and whatever Poseidon has got you doing... that's not you. I can feel it, okay? You're distant and distracted and you're keeping me at arm's length." she was pushing hard, kicking that wall down he'd put up between them. She wasn't going to lose her father again, especially not to his own demons.
On Mon, May 16, 2016 at 9:48 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"It's not just the job, Zoe. It's your integrity as my daughter. To not let me fail again as a father---" that wall he held up was crumbling, that strong facade breaking. He still hung on to that guilt of failing her once.

"You don't think I want YOU safe?? And doing whatever he has you doing, call me crazy but I don't think it's entirely great otherwise you wouldn't look like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. We're supposed to be a team, Dad. And you can't keep me safe by lying to me or trying to protect stupid things like my job. It's a job, it's money, money can be replaced, but my dad can't." she stopped to take a breath, wanting him to understand he wasn't just a (fallen) hero in mythology, he was her father.

"I'm not using you as an excuse!" But he was and he hadn't looked at it from that angle. It stung, and it also put her out of his reach. "You shouldn't have done that." He was outraged that he let Poseidon twist his arm, and this made it sound worse. "I want you safe Zoe." But Theseus was putting himself in danger.
On Monday, May 16, 2016, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
Zoe was frustrated when he barked at her in that dad way, she threw her phone back in her bag and said, "Making sure you don't use me as an excuse to do your dad's bidding!" he was using his concern for her as a shield to do something he didn't want to do. She wouldn't let him. If he was going to make bad choices, he was going to do them on his own, not under the guise of protecting her job.
On Mon, May 16, 2016 at 5:02 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"Zoe, no!" Theseus demanded with his brows hanging heavy over his eyes. She wasn't a little girl, but her immediate reaction was like a child. He had his reasons for saying yes to Poseidon's quest. At least this way Theseus could keep an eye on her, but now she had just terminated herself. "What are you doing?"
On Monday, May 16, 2016, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
Zoe said into the phone, "Uh huh, yeah I'm sure. Effective imm--" and she then ended up with a tug of war with her father over the phone, "I am not letting Poseidon use my stupid job as leverage, it's a job, I can get another one." which wasnt true, she was working here because she couldn't find another one. But she'd be damned if that exhausted look on her father's face was because of her.
On Mon, May 16, 2016 at 10:19 AM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"Zoe----" Theseus tried to pull the phone away from her. "What are you doing?" She was making a big mistake. She needed this job. "Don't---" he also wanted to see her.
On Monday, May 16, 2016, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
She just stared at her father and then rooted around in her bag and took out her cell phone. She hit some buttons and then dialed a number, putting the phone up to her ear, "Hi, Human Resources Department please." it took a moment for her to be put through and she said, "Hi Lucy! It's Zoe Hansen in the mail room... oh fine, fine... I just wanted to inform you I quit."

"Don't look at me like that. I just----you need work to keep your mothers place. I don't want you to lose something else. I want you to be financially stable, abd I want him off your tail. I really don't want a repeat of the last time he heart you to get to me. Poseidon will always be on me to do something, it's okay." But it wasn't ok, he felt skeevy, dirty and not the man he's grown into.

She looked a little sheepish as he called her out on missing work. "I just... I'm not used to being in an office five days a week all the time." Greed loved it but Zoe.. she was her father's daughter and said, "I feel trapped." then she thought about it and said, "Wait.. Poseidon is threatening to fire me and so you're doing something you don't want to do over that? What is it?"

"I don't know what he'll do, Zoe. You've missed a lot of work and he's caught on." He was trying to keep Zoe financially stable and safe. This was his way of doing it. He hadn't yet told her what Poseidon had him doing.

Zoe frowned again, "I don't understand... he wants you to do something and if you don't do it, he'll beat me up again?" she was trying to understand what was happening.

Theseus hated looking her in the eyes and he knew she might not understand, but he wanted to protect her. "I thought if I did what he wanted I was keeping you out of his line of fire." He put his hands around the cup of tea that their waiter had brought out. "He twists my arm and I bend."

She frowned and as they got to the restaurant, she pulled him to a nice little patio table and sat him down, "Dad, what's going on?" she asked flat out.

"Well yes, but the last time I was trying to save my own skin. This time he has a little leverage over me..." Because Zoe wasn't just a name to Theseus, now she meant something and that was dangerous.
On Sunday, May 15, 2016, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
"Yes, you do." she said firmly because she believed it, "One who can look in the mirror." cause being 'good' was only gonna get you so far, but peace with your actions, that was worth more. She looked at him and asked, "I thought he already knew?" since there was that whole theseus having to 'bring' her to poseidon so he could beat her up thing and she was fairly certain Poseidon had known she was of some blood to the sea lineage at that point, specifically theseus'.
On Sun, May 15, 2016 at 6:36 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"Maybe I don't know what kind of man to be." He was very similar to Greed, both never having the chance to be exactly who they were meant to be because they were dragged down by others. Theseus still felt he was a coward, but Zoe made him feel like he could accomplish anything. She was his reason to be a better man. "Poseidon knows who you are to me." Finally it was starting to come out.

She thought her answer over and said his words back to him, "I think you'd be surprised what you're capable of. I think you're a far better man than what you're doing now." she only meant the office grunt work, she had no idea what her grandfather had theseus doing these days.
On Sun, May 15, 2016 at 5:57 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"You think I'm scared?" He tried so hard to save face and present to her a stronger man than he believed himself to be. It didn't mean he didn't struggle, he still teetered back and forth from running or planting his feet in the ground.

"Maybe. But... I dunno... I'm scared to try. I guess. It's kinda like you." she didn't mean it as an insult but Theseus was capable of so much more and yet he stayed under Poseidon's wing.

"You'd be surprised what you are capable of." He started walking with his arm still around her shoulders. He still hadn't let her in on his secret, but he knew she was going to pull it out of him.

She sighed as she hugged him, "Of course I'm scared. If you were there and Greed was there then maybe, but I can't do this on my own." She gave him a lopsided, "I'm your daughter, there'll always be drama." they were greek, it was in their blood.
On Sun, May 15, 2016 at 5:00 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"Are you scared?" In truth he didn't want to see her go either. He was enjoying his time stepping up and being a man for his little girl. He cupped the back of her head softly and hugged her again. "Is that the only drama I have to worry about coming from you?" Not that Greed wasn't enough for the both of them. He took a deep breath.

"I dunno, maybe.." she mumbled and frowned, "Dad.. I couldn't go without you. I spent most of my life without you, I don't want to do that again." having her father in her life was very important to her. And on top of that, she was a coward and was hiding behind the love she had for her men.

He put his arm around her and placed a kiss on her forehead. "And if nothing was tying you here? I think you should go at some point." She needed to stretch her legs and have more freedom than she gave herself.

She frowned, "I mean, I thought about it for like two seconds, that was it. I wouldn't really go...." she paused before saying, "No... just everything is here. Him. My job, my apartment and what else... oh yeah, you." and she bumped him lightly. She wasn't brave enough to go out on her own.
On Sun, May 15, 2016 at 3:46 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"You didn't tell me you were thinking about it." He felt a little hurt, but he remembered there was something he was also holding back from her, and it was worse than just some dreams and aspirations. "Are you saying because of him?"

"Cartography school." she explained, "Mom and I were talking and she saw this poster by the docks advertising it and I told her how i was good at making maps and I liked it and she said it would be a good way to stay connected to the sea and maybe get, you know, a career that could go some place. But the best schools are in California and Greed had a mini meltdown at me moving there.." she closed one eye and scrunched up her lips making a face.

He was about to comment on the naked girl but until she mentioned California. "What's in California?" Soohia hadn't disclosed any of that with him either and for a second he questioned his own sanity still because talking about Soohia so presently made him still feel guilty.

"Nothing, just the apartment thing, and this crazzzzzy girl that won't leave Greed alone. She kissed him once and then showed up to his place naked. She's a bit obsessed and I had to explain that while he takes it as a compliment, it's actually not one for our relationship and then before that there was this whole thing about California which he got upset about and thought mom was trying to sabotage us and send me away." she frowned, life with Greed sounded a lot crazier when she talked about it out loud.
On Sun, May 15, 2016 at 3:21 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"What kind of relationship drama?" He felt like this would be a good way to sidetrack her and figure out if Poseidon was his only enemy right now. And if Greed needed another lecture on how he was supposed to take care of Zoe not bastardize his relationship.

She didn't mind staying in that hug the least bit and would take all the fatherly affection she could get, she was greedy for it. "Yeah... just that relationship drama and..." she debated mentioning the other stuff and then shook her head, "..nothing, I'm okay."
On Sun, May 15, 2016 at 2:37 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"You're doing okay?" He asked her, keeping her close in that hug. He didn't want Poseidon spying on her despite Theseus' attempts to keep her safe. He rubbed her back softly, protective and worried.

She blinked in surprise when he hugged her outside but happily took it and gave him one of her loving Zoe squeezes in return. She still didn't push about what the matter was, but she could tell it was really weighing heavily on him.

It was a hint that Theseus had picked up on almost immediately. It was the part of him that was still scared of messing up that hung onto that boat. He didn't feel comfortable anywhere else. He needed something to be his anchor, and that was Zoe.
He did stop midway as they walked out of the building and fresh air hit his face, to give her a hug. He was thankful Poseidon had chosen him as the target, he couldn't forgive himself if Zoe were hurt again.
On Saturday, May 14, 2016, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
"Okay...." she agreed and then told him about how Greed's search for an apartment was going, she left out the truly terrible parts but talked about how it'd be nice that he could get a place and feel settled again. Maybe a big hint to her father without actually saying the words for him to get an apartment. She wanted to fill in the curiosity and silence till they got their food.

He was still too stiff to spill. The walls of this building were claustrophobic. He needed to let the wind hit his face, get something to wake him up. "Let's eat first?" He offered. He was skating from all her questions the same way she did. He needed to find a way to break the ice softly.
On Saturday, May 14, 2016, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
"Like what?" she asked, not missing a beat. She had come with the specific goal of finally getting her dad to talk since he'd been avoiding it. She pushed the button for the elevator so they could get out of the building, maybe he'd open up when they were away from the place.

"There's just a lot going on." Clearly when it came to protecting the integrity of his daughter, he actually failed at being honest with her about it. It was a matter of time before she drug it out of him, he was just hoping she'd change the subject. He didn't want to face the music about what a horrible idea it had been in the first place. Theseus tried to remember what Nike had told him about him being strong, but whenever he talked to Poseidon he felt his arm being twisted over again and again to the point where he couldn't even feel it anymore.

"Dad...." she said with concern, "What's going on? I know you hate it here but you normally don't... I mean you just seem REALLY stressed out. Why don't you tell me what the mess is and maybe I can help." she wanted him to remember he had someone on his side now (that wasnt just his blonde ladyfriend)

"I should have known you would say that." Theseus was a fish out of water. "I've gotten myself into a mess I don't know how to get out of. The day I walk out of that office it might be in a body bag." Poseidon certainly wouldn't let him off the hook by putting in his resignation. That would be a slap in the face.

"Ugh, he LOVES high tech everything. And he loves his work. Advertising is where you sell crap to people, it's his calling. He's also really creative and he loves his job. Unlike say..present company." since it was no secret Theseus hated his job.

"How could he possibly love a computer screen?" Then again this was a day in age where computers ruled the world. He still wasn't used to all the electronic technology. It was beneficial yes, but it took so much away from actually enjoying the day, especially cooped up behind glass walls like a tower be couldn't escape.
Greed however was a different sort. He had every new gadget, expensive thing he could get his hands on.

She grinned, "Actually Greed loooooves work. He used to spend all these crazy nights at the office, I only recently convinced him he can bring his work home and I wont bug him." She gave a little bounce when he gave in and she hugged his arm so they could leave.

No one could say no when Zoe used her Bambi eyes. "Taking pointers from Greed." It was only a slight slap on the hand for her trying to convince him to leave. After a moment he caved with a heavy sigh. She was as terrible as her mother, and right now he should be thankful, he did need fresh air. Theseus and Zoe both were not the type to do well inside a cage. He was trapped by a rope of his own making and he still had no idea what to do.

She made a face, almost looking like a small kid, "Dad... come on, you need to get outside. You don't know what any of this stuff is even. Just sign everything when you come back or just run it through the shredder and claim you never got it." she grinned to show she was half joking. "Come on, let's get lunch and some ice cream. Pleasseeeee?" she batted her big brown eyes at him, he seemed so overworked, she wanted to help!

"I'm not having a breakdown." He stood up, fidgety and still feeling like he could just sail his way through the window. His office faced a bunch of other office buildings, even with the wall of glass. He didn't have the luxury cityscape view that his father did (and the only reason Poseidon made a trip down here was to gloat and threaten his employees). It gave him a sense of pride in seeing them afraid and hurry around to do his bidding. It was the only way Poseidon still held some authority. Everything else was spinning out of his control, so this was the one area he could seize power and choke them into submission.
Theseus looked at his desk, one big pile of endless papers and folders with no room for even a cup of tea. Zoe took his arm and he felt trapped, not able to say yes or no. "I---I don't know, Zoe. There's a lot to do..." She knew he didn't know anymore about what he did than the secretary.

"Oh you know, the fact you look like you're gonna have a nervous breakdown and the dark circles under your eyes." she stayed quiet while the secretary was there and then when she left, Zoe got up.

"What makes you think I'm stressed? I'm just tired," he added. He may look young, but his eyes were worn, and there was a jumpiness to him. The secretary came in from outside the office just to put some files on his desk and he quickly repeated that he'd be right on it, knowing full well he still knew very little of his job. It felt like hours wasted on paperwork, numbers and computers. It wasn't something he could immerse himself into, and it put him on high alert ever since Poseidon had him running errands after hours.

She beamed at his compliment since there was a time he would have run from spending time together. "I love getting to spend time with you every day, Dad." she frowned tho, "But...

"I get to see you." He said with a sweet fatherly smile. "So, it's not that bad." It wasn't the greatest thing, and just like the suits, Theseus felt like he was constantly tied up and playing a puppeteers jig. He'd been covering for her for some time now, and Poseidon had caught on to the missed or late show ups, the skipped lunches, the friday's off. There was a lot that Theseus knew she needed and he didn't want her job to add to her anxiety.

Theseus had gotten used to spending what precious time he had with Zoe wisely. He liked getting to see her at work and have their daily lunches. So, the threats by Poseidon hit close to home, as did the guilt from the last time he'd hurt Zoe. Theseus refused to let that become a repeat of history.
Once he finally had an ear back, he put the phone down and sat upright. He didn't wear the suits well, so he usually went for a tie and everything else was pretty casual. He looked at his watch confused because it was still early. "It's not lunchtime is it?"

Theseus was tired already of dangling off of Poseidon's line. He knew as Nike hs told him to be up front with his daughter, he just hadn't found the right time to bring it up. As he listened on the phone to Poseidon's latest lecture when Zoe walked in. He spun in his chair towards the desk and saw her big brown eyes drowning him with guilt.
He waved for her to sit down until he was off the phone (in which he hardly had any response beyond yes sir and ok).

Every time Theseus posted another cryptic journal entry, Zoe tried to get him to talk to her about what was going on. He was starting to really worry her (and scare her). So today, she was determined to get him to talk to her. This was a two wway street and she wanted him to trust her. When he kept secrets, it made her feel that old panic that he was going to disappear again. No matter how much he said he wouldn't... he still hadn't put down solid roots in New York and that spoke volumes. It was still fifteen minutes before lunch when she knocked on his door and stuck her head in to see if he was busy.
