GIB: Operation Artemis.

Right. Characters are from/ Artemis fowl and stories by Memyselfiamweird on fictionpress (Carnival Cannibal and GIB). I have her consent to use these characters. Just ask her. Also inspred by Double Act chapter 5(see below). Dream of mine, actually.

Enjoy.

Ever stood in the corridor in a huge mansion, choosing which door may lead to her intended quarry. Quickly she chose one, and approached the door to open it. She grasped the door handle, but was disturbed by a voice over the GIB intercom, whispering in her ear.

" Remind me again just WHY I chose to take BUTLER?"

Ever closed her eyes, calming herself down. Shouting at the Unit Leader in the middle of an operation would be most counter productive.

" Harry, YOU CHOSE. Don't ask me. Now let me get on with my job."

In another part of Fowl Manor, Harry rolled her eyes. She bent down to a sleeping Butler and took out a gun, when Ever gasped over the intercom.

"WHAT!?!"

"H-Harry. " Ever's voice trembled. "You know Double Act? Chapter Five?"

Harry thought for a minute. The ending.. (Ever1's story, btw ) Artemis was lying in bed under heavy quilts. His eyes were closed, but his expression didn't have any serenity or calm. He looked like someone in a hospital for attempted suicide. Alex blinked. His heart was laced with guilt.

Then again, he probably looked the same.

Artemis opened his eyes slowly, and Alex started. Artemis smiled slightly. "Ah." He said quietly. "Hello, Alex. Welcome to Fowl Manor."

Alex didn't say anything; he just looked hard at Artemis, a worried expression creasing his face.

"You look ill, Artemis." He said anxiously.

"So do you," Artemis said, smiling wanly.

Alex smiled a bit at that, and he came over to the bed and very carefully sat down on it. Artemis winced and looked away, trying not to blush. So did Alex. Then he suddenly looked at Artemis.

He slowly reached over and tucked a stray lock of black hair behind Artemis' ear.

Artemis tried to smile. Alex pushed off his shoes and turned towards Artemis. "I'm tired." He said pointedly.

Artemis stared at him and blinked a bit. Then he slowly smiled and said, "Oh, feel free," in an airy voice.

Alex smiled and swung his feet up on the bed and curled up by Artemis. Artemis smiled slightly and closed his eyes and drifted slowly into sleep.

A very sweet part. But what did it have to do with the Operation?

Harry shot Butler once behind the ear, tucked away her gun, and turned for the door.

"Yeh. Why?"

" It's Here."

Harry stopped dead in her tracks.

"Are you sure? It could be another.

"NO" Ever interrupted. "I checked his identity card. It's Rider."

Harry paused thinking quickly.

"What do I do??"

Harry came to a conclusion.

" You have the extra gun, right?

" Yes.

" Shoot them both. If they are together, we must take no risks."

Harry heard Ever's gun go off twice.

"Done.

"Right. Lobby. NOW."

Sherbet's voice crackled over the intercom." It should be wearing off now, guys, better get out." "K" Harry grunted, slightly lost. She found her way to the lobby and looked around. "Where are you?" Ever turned toward Harry's voice, and grinned to herself." That's the only problem with these cool suits, "She said.. " They don't hide your eyes."

Harry shook her head at Ever. "We must look so weird, two pairs of eyes floating rou-OW! " Harry turned quickly, and saw Alex Rider holding a vial .. an empty vial. From the smell coming from her ear, Harry would guess it had contained sulphuric acid. "Red alert, Ev. Get the escape route ready NOW! I'll take care of this." Ever looked slightly sick. "Must you, Harry? It's kind of a sickening noise." Harry glared at Ever. "SHUT UP AND GET ON WITH IT!" Into her left wrist, she said "Dechameleise. " Immediately her suit returned to its normal shade of pink. Harry walked up to Rider and held out her hand "a. Rider. What a pleasure to meet you." As was normal, Rider's instinct to take the hand proved to be a mistake, for the second he grasped it, Harry turned it to a Sankyo position, only three times as Hard as normal. Guaranteed to break someone's Arm.

Almost immediately Rider bent over, cursing, but Harry was used to this and within 30 seconds had begun to bandage the arm, using the nearest thing to hand as a splint. The fact that it was an iPod mini was amusing to her, as a mac user, and she bet to herself that no other Green iPod Mini had been used in this way.

When she had finished, she turned to Ever and ordered her suit to "Chameleise." Immediately all apart from her eyeballs disappeared. When she saw the escape route Harry groaned. "ohno! You KNOW I hate heights! " "No choice, Harry!" "But through the SKYLIGHT.." Harry began, but was stopped by their upward acceleration. She looked to the side, unable to watch as they shot through the skylight, and got a good view of Artemis Fowl sleeping. It WAS just like in Double Act.

Two seconds later, Ever and Harry had jumped down form the roof onto the trampoline that Ant and Sherbet had installed for them at the bottom. They would have to leave it.. But even if Fowl and co. did find it, it didn't really matter, as they most likely had no idea what GIB was. The two escapees ran toward Ant and Sherbet, who were waiting with their bikes. As they ran toward the bikes they dechameleised, so Harry's pink suit was visible. Ever was in yellow to match her hair, Sherbet in Electric Blue and Ant a rather unsettling shade of green..

The following conversation ensued..

Sherbet: "Why were you guys so long??

Ant:" Yeah, I heard something that sounded like a bone cracking, u guys ok?"

Ever: " Yeah, Harry went totally Ballistic cos Rider splashed some WATER on her and so she broke his arm!"

Ant:" Ow, Harsh!"

Sherbet:" Yeh, kinda weird that it's like double act, innit?"

Harry: sulking " IT WASN'T WATER!"

Ant: "Whatever.. Ever, tell me, which was cuter then? Lol"

Ever: "So Alex, IF Harry hadn't broken his arm.."

Ant: wryly "I suppose Harry went for Artemis, eh?"

Harry: still sulking "I only saw him for three seconds as we went through the skylight.. but.. yes.."

Ever: impatiently " HARRY!!"

Harry: "WHAT??"

Ever:" YOU are impossible. "

Ant (ever the peacemaker) " Three seconds is enough for ANYONE to fall in love… especially when their code name is Harry.."

Harry: angrily " HEY, I WILL REMIND YOU GUYS I GOT SPLASHED WITH SULFURIC ACID, SO PLEASE!"

Sherbet: "WHAT? Why didn't you say?? Guys, stop the bikes. If this is true we need to see to her ASAP."

Ever: shaking slightly "Why didn't you say, Harry?"

Harry: "I tried. You wouldn't believe me. Now im going to sulk. You may as well shoot us now, Ev.. throws her gun at ever Lets do it.. Arty, Alex, Butler.

OW!"

Sherbet: Stop wriggling Harry, I need to disinfect it.."

Ever: " Harry?" Harry holds out her arm "OK.." ever shoots Harry's arm three times.. "There. Activate yours."

Harry:" Okie. takes out an activating bar and passes it over her arm, causing the trackers to start up Done. Head done?"

Sherbet: "Pretty much."

Harry:" K. Ev, do the others and then we'll go ..."

The group get their trackers and get back on the bikes, going toward Dublin, and the last thing to be heard is..

Ant: "harry, WHY PINK?? For BUTLER!!"

Harry laughs insanely

Good. I like it. :P. Rev?
