Distractions

Chapter 1: Waiting.

Butler was rarely distracted, but when you're Artemis bodyguard it becomes inevitable. Butler on this rare occasion had been looking at the sky waiting for Holly's arrival even though he was fully aware that there wasn't any need, so obviously that's when it happened. Artemis was busy clicking away at a small gadget in his wrist when he was pushed and tumbled into the ground.
"Oh, my sincere apologies Sir!" came the feminine response. Looking up Artemis saw Butler wearing a slightly amused grin while helping the girl up to her feet.
"I wasn't watching where I was going." Dusting himself Artemis replied in very clipped tones,
" No, obviously not"
The girl lost her smile, "Well, guess they were right, you are a jerk"
Artemis and Butler had the same reaction, they straightened their backs and pierced the girl with their eyes. "They?" Inquired Artemis. Butler's hand immediately reached for his beloved SigSauer , and his eyes scanned the area for unseen enemies.
"Yeah, they," she replied a smirk spreading across her features.
Artemis blinked, meeting strangers like these didn't usually end up nicely. Oh great. But then his hand brushed across his pocket and he knew.
"Toodles" she said and then unexpectedly took of running.
"Hey!" exclaimed the bodyguard but the girl didn't turn back and rounded the corner.
"Should I pursue?"
"No….not yet" Returning his gaze to his 'wrist watch', he clicked away at a couple of buttons and smiled.
"We'll follow her tomorrow, we have business with Short at the moment"
"Uhm Sir?"
"She stole my wallet old friend, I've traced the microchip I placed in it."
"Oh" Butler smiled, that was Master Fowl, always two steps ahead.
"But Sir, what about they?"
"There is no they, that was merely a distraction, my friend."

Honey colored locks swished in the wind and heavy breath was heard accompanied by her hurried footsteps.
Once she was sure to be quite the distance away and that they were not pursuing her she stopped. Her ragged breathing ceasing after some minutes.
Well, now she had to wait, but first the spoils for herself. Flipping open the wallet she rummaged through and found several twenties along with some fifties. Perfect. This would keep her going for a while, not to mention what she would be getting soon. She discarded the credit cards, they were too much hassle, but then though better and kept one…just incase.
She sat on a bench and waited. They would come soon.

Yeah this is short and mostly because it was a spur of the moment thing. I shall forewarn you. I don't know how often this will be updated because I do have another story at the moment but we'll see. Besides im not sure where im going with this. Just wait. Of course it also depends on the reviews :P which I don't think I might get but its worth a try.
