Josh Batton carried Annabeth Cates and quickly ran down the escalator right when the people behind them had already recognized them, screaming as they chased after them. "Josh, don't leave! We love you!"

In front of them, several people who had just walked through the entrance started to notice them as well and ran frantically toward them. Fortunately, there weren't as many people.
