Then he stuffed some Tshirts in his backpack. Dude Percy said what are you doing She said I could Frank whispered. Besides I need more clothes. I didnt pack for a long trip He added a snow globe to his stash which didnt seem like clothing to Percy. Then Frank picked up a braided cylinder about the size of a candy bar. He squinted at it. What is Chinese handcuffs Percy said. Frank who was Chinese Canadian looked offended. How is this Chinese I dont know Percy said. Thats just what its called. Its like a gag gift. Come along boys Kate called from across the hall. Ill show you later Percy promised. Frank stuffed the handcuffs in his backpack and they kept walking. They passed through an acrylic tunnel. Fish swam over their heads and Percy felt irrational panic building in his throat. This is dumb he told himself. Ive been underwater a million times. And Im not even in the water. The real threat was Kate he reminded himself. Hedge had already detected that she wasnt human. Any minute she might turn into some horrible creature and attack them. Unfortunately Percy didnt see much choice but to play along with her VIP tour until they could find the sea god Phorcys even if they were walking deeper into a trap.

You should see some of my other babies out in the wild. Your babies Frank asked. Judging from the wicked glint in Kates eyes Percy was pretty sure he didnt want to meet Kates babies. He decided it was time to get to the point. He didnt want to go any farther into this aquarium than he had to. So Kate he said were looking for a guyI mean a god named Phorcys. Would you happen to know him Kate snorted. Know him Hes my brother. Thats where were going sillies. The real exhibits are right through here. She gestured at the far wall. The solid black surface rippled and another tunnel appeared leading through a luminous purple tank. Kate strolled inside. The last thing Percy wanted to do was follow but if Phorcys was really on the other side and if he had information that would help their questPercy took a deep breath and followed his friends into the tunnel. As soon as they
