You're alive! Percy said to the others. The giants said you were captured. What happened? Leo shrugged. Oh, just another brilliant plan by Leo Valdez. You'd be amazed what you can do with an Archimedes sphere, a girl who can sense stuff underground, and a weasel. I was the weasel, Frank said glumly.
