Plot
After hearing reports about magical disturbances in the Long Island area, Carter Kane goes to investigate. He is unexpectedly swallowed by an enormous crocodile in the marshes at the edge of Moriches Bay on Long Island's south shore while exploring, but is saved by a strange older teenager who forces the monster to regurgitate him. The teenager turns out to be Percy Jackson. After a brief disagreement that leave both confused about the other's origins, Percy and Carter decide to team up to deal with the monster, which has left them and is terrorizing a nearby suburban neighborhood. Carter hypothesizes that the beast is a petsuchos, a son of the god Sobek and thus immortal and invincible unless the enchanted necklace that it wears, which is invested with the power of Sobek, is removed. The two work together to remove the necklace from the animal, and save the neighborhood and its residents. After the necklace is removed, the monster shrinks into a baby crocodile and the heroes head to a diner to talk. Percy and Carter are guarded about what they share, but devise a way to contact each other again if needed. They go their separate ways, and Carter takes both the crocodile and necklace back to the 21st Nome for safekeeping. [2][4]
