the exploding arrows.

"Break it!" Michael yelled. "Use your powers!"

It was a desperate thought—no way it would work— but I stabbed Riptide into the bridge.

The magic blade sank to its hilt m asphalt. Salt water shot from the crack like I'd hit a geyser. I

pulled out my blade and the fissure grew. The bridge shook and began to crumble. Chunks the size

of houses fell into the East River. Kronos's demigods cried out in alarm and scrambled backward.

Some were knocked off their feet. Within a few seconds, a fifty-foot chasm opened in the

Williamsburg Bridge between Kronos and me.

The vibrations died. Kronos's men crept to the edge and looked at the hundred-and-thirtyfoot drop into the river.

I didn't feel safe, though. The suspension cables were still attached. The men could get

across that way if they were brave enough. Or maybe Kronos had a magic way to span the gap.

The Titan lord studied the problem. He looked behind him at the rising sun, then smiled

across the chasm. He raised his scythe in a mock salute. "Until this evening, Jackson."

He mounted his horse, whirled around, and galloped back to Brooklyn, followed by his

warriors.

I turned to thank Michael Yew, but the words died in my throat. Twenty feet away, a bow lay

in the street. Its owner was nowhere to be seen.

"No!" I searched the wreckage on my side of the bridge. I stared down at the river. Nothing.

I yelled in anger and frustration. The sound carried forever in the morning stillness. I was

about to whistle for Blackjack to help me search, when my mom's phone rang. The LCD display

said I had a call from Finklestein & Associates—probably a demigod calling on a borrowed phone.

I picked up, hoping for good news. Of course I was wrong.
