Artemis Fowl and the Missing Fairy

Chapter I

The Missing Fairy

Artemis Fowl frowned slightly as he re-read the e-mail on his laptop. The letter was sent by Foaly, and he could tell by the many exclamation points that the centaur was worried.

Artemis,

Holly has been missing for three days now, and Julius suspects kidnapping. The last time she was seen was on Wednesday morning before she left for aboveground. She told no one where she was headed. Julius was the last one to see her, and he said she seemed her normal self. Please meet me at the LEP as soon as you can! This is very urgent!!!

Foaly

Artemis' frown deepened. It wasn't like Holly to leave without telling anyone where she was going. If she had been kidnapped, she could be held for ransom, and even Julius Root would sacrifice anything to keep his officers safe.

An hour later, Artemis and Butler, his bodyguard, were flying in the criminal genius's private jet. He would have objected to anyone calling him that anymore. He was still a genius, but no longer a criminal. Artemis did, however, miss intimidating his adversaries, many of which had underestimated the seventeen-year-old.

Artemis remembered Holly well, even if he hadn't seen her in the last three years. She had the loveliest hazel eyes and soft auburn hair. He smiled at the thought of how stubborn she could be.

Butler was watching the teenager, and it surprised him when he noticed a smile tugging at Artemis' lips. His blue eyes were no longer cold and hard as they always were, and his calm, icy composure had left him. Butler almost smiled himself; it was nice seeing Artemis not scowling or smirking. All too soon, it left him. "Butler, how much longer until we arrive?" He inquired, snapping out of whatever daze he had been in.

'We should arrive at Tara within two or three hours." The manservant replied.

Artemis nodded absentmindedly. He took out his laptop and tried to call Foaly using a new program he had recently downloaded. He let it "ring" for several moments until the centaur picked up.

"Artemis, I'm so glad to hear from you! I'm afraid there's no sign of Holly yet. We still have to go through her house and office to look for any evidence, but we'll wait until you get here." Foaly grinned as they heard Julius grumbling under his breath from a nearby office chair. "Why do we have to wait for Fowl anyway? What a big waste of time that is!"

Artemis smirked. He could imagine Root's face turning five shades of red deeper than usual when he heard they were to stop everything until he arrived.

Foaly grinned again before becoming more serious. "I've got to go, and, Artemis?"

"Yes, Foaly?"

"Don't worry about Holly. She can take care of herself."

He nodded and watched as Foaly disappeared from the screen. It wasn't very often that anyone knew what he was thinking. Even Holly had asked him why he kept his emotions from showing. There were only three occasions that he had slipped up, and Holly had been there every time.

The last time he saw her, they were saving the People from Jon Spiro. After that, they had lost communication. Artemis had been busy with his criminal mastermind plans, and the fairies had been safe underground, there was no need for contact. But then why did he miss them so much?

When Artemis had first discovered the fairies, he was known as a threat to them, but he grew to be good friends with Mulch, Holly, Foaly, and even Julius, after helping them with some of their missions.

The plane landed two hours later and before long, Artemis and Butler were standing in Haven. Artemis didn't need to look around; everything looked the same as it had three years ago. Julius was standing outside Foaly's office, yelling at Mulch. The dwarf stood with his hands behind his back and tried smiling innocently, a feat he still hadn't quite been able to pull off. He was well known for his skills in thievery and had weaseled his way out of jail many a time.

"Mulch! How many times have I told you to stay AWAY, from MY OFFICE?!!" Julius roared.

Mulch flinched with each word, but continued his defense, trying to look insulted. "What makes you think it was mee, uh-good Commander?" Unfortunately for him, he had said the last part more as a question than out of respect, and this only made the Commander angrier.

"One more wrong move, and you're back in JAIL, you hear me? JAIL! And Fowl will not be able to get you out next time or any other!" The Commander's face reddened and several veins stood out on his neck. He spat the words through clinched teeth and it would have been safe to say that steam rose from his ears as he chewed furiously on his cigar. Artemis smirked as the Commander looked up to see them watching. He growled a parting warning to Mulch, then disappeared around the corner, grumbling under his breath.

"Arty, Butler!" Mulch grinned at them, revealing his large teeth. "Long time no see!"

"You too, Mulch. I see you're in trouble once again, as usual." Artemis smiled with amusement at his friend.

Mulch winked at him. "A dwarf has to earn a living."

After stepping into Ops Booth, the three of them sat down in the office chairs. Foaly swiveled in his chair to face them and smiled. "Nice to see you, Arty, if that's what you go by these days." The centaur smirked, looking pleased at his insult. Artemis narrowed his dark blue eyes at him. It wasn't very often that anyone dared to call him that, well, that is, besides Holly and Mulch.

"Do you have any idea what could have happened to Holly?" He asked impatiently.

Foaly nodded and started typing quickly on his computer. He nodded again thoughtfully as he continued looking at the screen. Artemis came up behind him quietly to see what it was that captured his attention.

Without looking up, Foaly cleared his throat and said, "She could have been held for ransom for many things."

Artemis nodded in agreement as he scanned Holly's job application. He was surprised to see she was skilled in many different activities.

Foaly stood a minute later with a sigh. "Let's go check her office. We might find something there."

Artemis and Foaly went through the cluttered papers on her desk and the most recent documents on her computer. Artemis pulled out the top drawer of the desk and started from there.

It proved to be a fruitless search, however, so he started on the next one. He grinned when he saw a romance novel hidden under several fighting magazines. He would never let her live it down. The rest were just sketches, mostly of Fowl Manor.

In the bottom drawer in the desk, he found a box. Written on top of it were the words, 'Confidential, STAY OUT, FOALY!' He chuckled to himself as he opened the lid to reveal a few candy bars, a dairy, and another magazine, this time on fashion.

Mulch came up behind him, and took a candy bar from the box. He was munching with his mouth open when he saw the books. He started choking and laughing so hard that the others became amused.

"Are you all right, Mulch?" Artemis asked, trying to hide the faint laughter in his eyes.

Mulch nodded and swallowed. "I just need a glass of water, I'll be back."

When he had left, Artemis placed the books in his bag. To Foaly he said, "That diary might come in handy, I'll read it later."

Foaly grinned and winked. "Let me know what it says. There was that one time when I tried to take it without her watching, but I ended up locked outside in the snow!"

Artemis and Butler chuckled. That sounded a lot like Holly.

"Personally, Arty," Foaly looked sly as he said this, "I think you're the last person she would ever want reading her dairy. In fact," A triumphant look now, "I bet she writes a lot about you." Foaly winked at Mulch who had walked into the room in time to hear the conversation. Artemis blushed slightly. Butler came up behind him and placed his hand on his shoulder.

"Let's go through her room now, before it gets late." He said.

The others nodded in agreement, and Foaly led the way to the elf's room. He punched a series of numbers into the alarm system, and then stepped through the doorway when it had slid open.

Artemis and Butler had seen the fairy's room only a few times before. The place was as cluttered and unorganized as it had been the previous time and Artemis sighed, knowing this was going to take awhile.

He sat down in a chair and started going through her small bookcase and desk. Artemis was very successful. He found another dairy, but unlike the first, this one involved an account of the missions she had with the LEP. He flipped to the very back of the book, and began reading. He sighed when he noticed the dates. Holly hadn't written anything in it for several months.

They finally gave up. Artemis went back to his room and took out his laptop. In thirty seconds, he had hacked into the security cameras and rewound everything on it until he came to Wednesday morning. He could have simply asked the centaur to show them to him, but this was more fun. The camera surveillance system had numerous flaws, and Artemis couldn't help but gaze at it with disdain.

There were no cameras in any of the fairies' offices, but in the hallway outside the rooms, he found four. He watched as Holly came out of her office and started grumbling something when Julius came up to her. Her eyes lit up, however, when he handed her a white envelope.

Artemis watched as she opened it and looked at it in confusion. He zoomed in on the heading, and frowned. Jon Spiro. If Jon Spiro was in jail-wait, was he? He typed in a password and smiled with satisfaction when he was able to bring up Foaly's files.

Three minutes later, he had found every file on Jon Spiro and was in the middle of reading the most recent one, when he frowned deeply. Jon Spiro had escaped prison, and was now on the loose. But then, why hadn't Foaly told him that? It was already obvious that Spiro wanted Haven, and he would do anything to get it. Leaving the laptop, he went to find Julius and Foaly.

They were both in Ops Booth. Foaly smiled at Artemis as he entered, but his smile disappeared, however, when Artemis glanced at him smugly. "You were hacking into my computer again, weren't you!" Foaly accused.

Artemis nodded and smirked. "Your password wasn't hard to figure out. 'I am a thousand times better than Jon Spiro'." He scoffed.

Julius snickered. The centaur glared at him in contempt. "What did you find?" Foaly asked, clearly upset that the Irish youth had managed to hack into his computer yet again.

Artemis became serious. "Nothing much, that is, beside the fact that Jon Spiro escaped prison a week ago." He said casually.

Foaly and Julius looked at each other in shock. Artemis regained his composure and impassive face, and sat down in the chair facing Julius.

"What do you mean Jon Spiro escaped from prison one month ago?!" Julius looked fit to burst, and any other time Artemis would have chuckled when he saw the Commander's face turn different shades of purple and red, and see steam lift off of his head, but he was too confused to do so now. Foaly looked just as surprised and un-understanding.

The centaur started typing quickly on his computer and pulled up his files. He started typing something else, and glanced from Artemis to Julius, then cautiously turned back to his computer and typed something else belligerently on his keyboard. Artemis came up quietly behind the centaur and smirked. Foaly was making himself another password. 'I am a million, trillion times better than any criminal mastermind, named Artemis Fowl!' Artemis chuckled and Foaly groaned at the sight of him.

A minute later, they were all standing behind the centaur looking through the same file Artemis had seen an hour earlier. Artemis looked thoughtful.

"Foaly, has anyone blocked files from the LEP's mainframe before?" He inquired.

Foaly looked surprised and started typing quickly on his keyboard. Julius stopped chewing on his cigar for a moment and let it all sink in.

The centaur nodded, pleased with himself. "As a matter of fact, yes. Mulch Diggims has been known to do such. I wonder how he learned how to do that." He looked thoughtful.

Artemis smiled slightly. "I should have known. But how does he connect with Jon Spiro?"

"Probably working for that creep if the pay checks are good." Julius sneered.

Artemis frowned slightly, in deep thought. "I don't think so. Mulch may be a thief, but I doubt he would have anything to do with a kidnapping. Unless…" He trailed off as something occurred to him. "Unless he was trying to protect Holly."

Julius and Foaly glanced at one another in horror. Artemis' eyes flashed with the idea of a challenge. All they had to do was find Mulch Diggims.

"Where is he?" Artemis asked anxiously, closing his eyes and massaging his temples with his fingers to process the information he had just learned. Foaly looked slightly worried when he turned from his computer. The red dot on the map he was just looking at said Mulch was not in the building. This they knew, but his location shocked them all and proved their fears. Jon Spiro's Mansion. Artemis opened his eyes slowly when he noticed the eerie silence.

"Well? What's the plan?" Foaly asked.

"We rescue Holly."

So, what do you think? Please review! Constructive criticism appreciated!
