FIFTEEN
I WRESTLE SANTAâS EVIL TWIN
âTELL ME WHEN ITâS OVER,â Thalia said. Her eyes were shut tight. The statue was holding on to us so we couldnât fall, but still Thalia clutched his arm like it was the most important thing in the world.
âEverythingâs fine,â I promised.
âAre⦠are we very high?â
I looked down. Below us, a range of snowy mountains zipped by. I stretched out my foot and kicked snow off one of the peaks.
âNah,â I said. âNot that high.â
âWe are in the Sierras!â Zoë yelled. She and Grover were hanging from the arms of the other statue. âI have hunted here before. At this speed, we should be in San Francisco in a few hours.â
âHey, hey, Frisco!â our angel said. âYo, Chuck! We could visit those guys at the Mechanics Monument again! They know how to party!â
âOh, man,â the other angel said. âI am so there!â
âYou guys have visited San Francisco?â I asked.
âWe automatons gotta have some fun once in a while, right?â our statue said. âThose mechanics took us over to the de Young Museum and introduced us to these marble lady statues, see. Andââ
âHank!â the other statue Chuck cut in. âTheyâre kids, man.â
âOh, right.â If bronze statues could blush, I swear Hank did. âBack to flying.â
We sped up, so I could tell the angels were excited. The mountains fell away into hills, and then we were zipping along over farmland and towns and highways.
Grover played his pipes to pass the time. Zoë got bored and started shooting arrows at random billboards as we flew by. Every time she saw a Target department storeâand we passed dozens of themâshe would peg the storeâs sign with a few bulls-eyes at a hundred miles an hour.
Thalia kept her eyes closed the whole way. She muttered to herself a lot, like she was praying.
âYou did good back there,â I told her. âZeus listened.â
It was hard to tell what she was thinking with her eyes closed.
âMaybe,â she said. âHow did you get away from the skeletons in the generator room, anyway? You said they cornered you.â
I told her about the weird mortal girl, Rachel Elizabeth Dare, who seemed to be able to see right through the Mist. I thought Thalia was going to call me crazy, but she just nodded.
âSome mortals are like that,â she said. âNobody knows why.â
Suddenly I flashed on something Iâd never considered.
My mom was like that. She had seen the Minotaur on Half-Blood Hill and known exactly what it was. She hadnât been surprised at all last year when Iâd told her my friend Tyson was really a Cyclops. Maybe sheâd known all along. No wonder sheâd been so scared for me as I was growing up. She saw through the Mist even better than I did.
âWell, the girl was annoying,â I said. âBut Iâm glad I didnât vaporize her. That wouldâve been bad.â
Thalia nodded. âMust be nice to be a regular mortal.â
She said that as if sheâd given it a lot of thought.
âWhere you guys want to land?â Hank asked, waking me up from a nap.
