He is unexpectedly swallowed by a ginormous crocodile while exploring, but is saved by a strange boy. 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 terrorizing New York City. Carter hypothesizes that the beast is a petsuchos, a son of the god Sobek, and thus immortal as long as its gold necklace is intact. They track it into a nearby neighborhood. The two work together to alternately distract the monster, attempt to dislodge the necklace, and protect the local mortal children. 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.
