This is the result of hours of insane daydreaming circulating around two criminal masterminds. I know this chapter was kind of short but I didn't know what to expect out of my harebrained ideas. So enjoy and I ensure you that the next chapter will be longer.

Nero sighed, head in hands. He was sitting in his office chair, brooding over a pressing matter. One of GLOVE's most trusted operatives was turning away from the life of crime. Artemis Fowl Senior, ever since the day he had returned from the Artic, Nero could tell something was off. Two days ago, Artemis Senior had announced that he was retiring from villainy at a council meeting. This statement was met by shock and anger. The man was only in his forties; at least, that's what he looked like. After the meeting, Number One had requested Nero to enroll Artemis Fowl Senior's son at HIVE. Nero picked up the boy's file. He had a most interesting profile and appeared to have a role in crime already at the young age of 14. He could jump a year or two at HIVE. But the matter of stealing him from his father and that mountain of a man, Butler, increased the difficulty. Nero raised his head and pushed a button on his desk. In under a minute, a women with katanas strapped to her back slinked out of the shadows. Nero smiled grimly. "Ah, Raven, I need a…package withdrawn from Fowl Manor." He handed her a file. She shifted through them, ruffling the pages while he spoke. "HE is a special case and will require extra care. And make sure you are not discovered. Understand?" Raven's roaming eyes suddenly stopped at a certain word. Butler. Her incisors showed as she smiled. "Understood."

Artemis Fowl II was at his desk, typing away at his laptop. Father was safe once more, Mother was sane, and the family was content. Then why did he feel such dissatisfaction? When Father had been rescued, he had come back a new man, a good one. No more brilliant schemes, no more crimes. Father had made him promise. He sighed. He will miss those days. Outside Artemis's office, a black clad women stood next to the on the ledge.

Raven stood slowly, black box in hand. HIVEmind hovered over the device. Raven whispered "HIVEmind, scan the perimeter for hostiles and disable the window alarm." She pointed to Artemis's window. HIVEmind was silent for a few seconds before responding "Scan complete." A hologram lit up above the black box , depicting Fowl Manor with red "O"s marked as hostiles. There was a red one in the office above them and one in the training room. Bunches of blue "O"s were stationed in the kitchen and throughout the mansion. A yellow "X" blinked on this florr's office, right where Raven was. HIVEmind continued "Window barriers removed and alarms disarmed." Raven gave the artificial intelligence a curt nod before turning off the black box. She slid her twin katanas off her back and turned them on a medium setting, crackling purple energy running along the edges of the blades. She jumped down to the window ledge nimbly and ran her katana around the window smoothly, carving a round circle. Raven silently took out the window pane and placed it on the olive green crapet. Artemis Fowl had not yet noticed his unwelcome visitor. His blue eyes were trained on his laptop screen. Raven leaped into Artemis's office with a soft thump. Artemis felt a slight breeze on his neck and turned around, eyes widening. Raven, ever the dramatic assassin, straightened up while pulling a sleeper from her hip. She aimed it at the surprised Irish teenager. "Good morning, Mr. Fowl. And good night." In Artemis's credit, he did manage to yell "Butl-"before the dart struck him and he crumpled.
