A/N: Tadaaaaam! As you can see, new cover. The pic is obviously not mine. We're only missing Will in this one... if someone have a cover or idea or pic, feel free to PM me (I suck at this).

MONDAY

Erica!

Oh, no, we better go!

Leo gave up on the sweeties he was craving and ran back to the shop. Hopefully, she hadn't seen him before he left. He had no idea how were things between them and didn't know she wanted them to be. From his part, he missed Calypso, and knowing she worked with Callie made him feel extra guilty. As for Leoni, he liked her, and wanted another shot, but didn't pressure Leo for it.

TUESDAY

Leo finished connecting the last wires, feeling more than seeing Harshad's attention fixed on his hand.

"Alright, I showed you how to do it. Your turn, mini me."

The boy was staring at him with a puzzled expression.

"Why do you keep calling me 'mini me'? What does it mean?"

How to explain...

It's part of his learning to know what mini me means. He's still our... grasshopper.

Leo gave Harshad a reassuring squeezing on the shoulder.

"It means... that for now, you're just my pupil."

"Pupil?"

"Student. But one day, you'll be as good as me!"

WEDNESDAY

"YOU!"

He froze, cussing in a mix of Spanish and Greek. He could almost see Leoni taking notes of new words.

"Oh, Talos's foot. Yes?"

When he turned, Callie was almost at his face, looking furious.

"You're coming with me."

She took his wrist and towed him by it, waves of fury seeping from her skin to his where they connected.

"Why would I go with you to the place where you intend to dump my body? I shouldn't make things easier for my killer."

She snorted, and squeezed her hand harder, letting him feel the short nails, likely with dirt under it, trying to break his skin.

"I won't kill you; yet, anyway."

"Because that is so much better."

"I want to talk to you about Erica."

Yeah... not a good idea.

He wriggled his hand from her grasp in a rush and took a couple of steps back.

"Oh, look at the time, I have to go!"

"Don't you dare!"

He ran from her.

There are lot of things I look forward to, but talk to my sunshine about Erica is NOT one of them.

THURSDAY

"Leoni, are you finished?"

Leo and his mini me raised their eyes to Dylan.

"Why?"

"Because it's around the time his mom is coming to pick him up."

"... And?"
