𝐂𝐀𝐌 𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 noticed how oblivious humans were. But after the story that was published in the papers, there was no doubt about it. They just couldn't fathom anything that seemed out of the ordinary.
According to the L.A. news, the explosion at Santa Monica beach happened when a crazy kidnapper fired a shotgun at a police car. He accidentally hit a gas main that had ruptured during the earthquake.
The crazy kidnapper (a.k.a Ares) was the same man who abducted Percy, Camille, and two other adolescents in New York and brought them across the country on a ten-day odyssey of terror.
So poor little Percy Jackson and Camille Franzer weren't international criminals after all. They had caused the commotion on the Gray Hound Bus to get away from their kidnapper, some witnesses swore they saw the man on the bus — "Why didn't I remember him before?" The crazy man had caused the explosion in the St. Louis Arch. After all, a couple of kids couldn't have done that. A waitress in Denver had seen the man threatening his abductees outside the diner and got a friend to take a picture, and notified the police. Finally, brave Percy Jackson (Percy was beginning to like this kid) had stolen a gun from their captor in Los Angeles and battled him shotgun-to-rifle on the beach. (Cam found that part funny, she couldn't really imagine Percy with a rifle.) Police arrived just in time. But in the spectacular explosion, five police cars had been destroyed, and the captor had fled. No fatalities had occurred. Percy Jackson, Camille Franzer, and their two companions were safe.
The reporters practically fed the story to them. They just had to nod along and act tearful and exhausted (which wasn't that hard) and played victimized kids for the camera.
This is why you don't trust the news, kids.
"All I want," Percy said, choking back tears, "is to see my loving stepfather again. Everytime I see him on T.V, calling me a delinquent punk, I knew... somehow... we would be okay. And I know he'll want to reward each and every person in this beautiful city of Los Angeles with a free major appliance from his store. Here's the number." The police and reporters were so moved that they passed around the hat and raised money for four tickets on the next plane to New York.
