CHAPTER FIFTY-ONE OF DOOM
"So you must be the people that Dana was telling me about," Edison said. "The crew of the S. S. Noatak... She didn't mention you." He pointed at Roy.

"With all due respect, seriously?" Roy asked. Does she just hate me or something?

"She mentioned a child with the Beast Ring, a disciple of Kelsey Fisher, and the Man in Black," Edison said. "I recognize both Kalései and Dagbert's face. As for you, Miss..."

"Dean," Caitlyn supplied. "Caitlyn Dean, daughter of Athena."

"Dean," Edison continued. "You're wearing a Camp Half-Blood T-shirt, so I assumed you used to be a camper there, where it would make sense for you to know Kelsey. She didn't mention this guy here. So who exactly would you be?"

"With all due respect, Roy Gold, legacy of Hermes," Roy said. "Former deliverer at the Apollo Town."

Edison nodded in understanding. "Ah, a Waterboy... That explains why Dana didn't mention you. I take it then that you're a half-blood?" He looked at Rune.

Rune nodded. "Son of Melinoe. Why are you asking that?"

"Just surprised is all," Edison said. "Apart from myself, Dana does not usually associate herself with half-bloods, yet here she is on a team with a daughter of Athena, a son of Hades, and a son of Melinoe - and the son of Hades a known criminal to boot."

"Well, Dana has difficulty resisting me, so that might play a part," Fred said.

"Somehow I doubt that," Edison noted.

"So, there are some people in town who are against her," Rune said. "Bunch of people who attacked us just for knowing her."

"Oh, those watered-down chumps," Edison said. "No better than mortals, really. They're probably just upset because Dana chose to play on the winning team. She's the only credit to her kind I've ever met."

"Now the issue," Caitlyn said. "What exactly do we do about it?"

"Well, first thing's first," Edison said. Suddenly, the walls sealed around them with solid iron and three individuals appeared from nowhere. "Waterboy's got to go. I'll be taking the Beast Ring. Also, I'll add twenty million drachmas to my stock, if you know what I mean. As for you two, Caitlyn and..."

"Rune."

"Caitlyn and Rune, you will be working with me." Edison grinned. "Let's see... we've been here for three minutes, I believe? Dana should be dead by now, so let us begin."

"Confirmed," one of the people said. "The Watergirl is definitely dead."

"Excellent."
