Love, Trust, and Betrayal (Wiki Contest: February 2013)

Malcolm had been flying over Manhattan for an hour now. Chiron had sent him on a recon mission to try to locate the Roman's temporary headquarters. For the past few days the threat of a Roman invasion loomed over Camp Half-Blood. It was crucial to everyone that the Roman's be flushed out of hiding and ran out of New York. His eyes scanned the lay out of the city but his mind wasn't connected to them.

Leo and Piper had sent a message only a few hours ago about the status of their quest. Malcolm had been in the Big House with Clarrise and Chiron when the message appeared. Piper had tried to use her Charmspeak to make the new easier to take but it hadn't worked. He remembered feeling like wind had been knocked out of him. His sister had fallen into Tartarus along with Percy. He wanted to find a way to get to Rome as fast as possible. He had burst out of the Big House and ran to the stables. Chiron had caught up to him before he could even mount a Pegasus.

Chiron had talked him out of doing anything reckless. Malcolm had known it wasn't the child-of-Athena-thing to do. Chiron told him to focus his energy on something productive. After making him swear on the River Styx not to do anything rash Chiron allowed Malcolm to take a Pegasus and fly over Manhattan.
