A.N. This is a longer story then my other fanfic. While Holly and Foaly do share a relationship, I cannot guarantee it will last. Holly and Artemis are made for each other after all! Don't be put off by the summary, I'll make this good, I promise! :}
Prologue
Unknown Island
Somewhere above sea level
Captain Holly Short of the Lower Elements Police force loved to fly through the human grounds when she was not on missions. There was something about the experience that still gave her a thrill and shivers down her spine whenever she thought about it. Maybe it was the wind on her face that gave her refreshment, or maybe the clear blue skies and musky smell that lingered in the air, never to be present under the earth.
It was a good place for her to simply reflect upon life and the happenings that had been swiftly coming her way. She was doing exactly this at the present moment, however her thoughts were not pleasant.
Artemis Fowl along with his assistants, had had their mind wiped, and Hollie dreaded the compassion that had started to grow within the boy was gone as well. She did not really agree with the mind wipe as Fowl could grow into something more terrible then he was before, and she really did not want to deal with anything like him for a long time. Her plate was already full with the recent escape of General Scalene, and how the fingers were being pointed at the LEP.
Holly simply had no time to dwell on the boy, however when she found the odd moment where her imagination wandered, she rejected that somewhere, deep inside, there was a part of her that still missed him.
Police Plaza, Haven City
The Lower Elements
"Where have you been?!" Came the impatient question as soon as Holly walked through the door to the office, helmet in hand, and a smile on her face.
"Wait. Let me guess, you were out flying?" Foaly smiled faintly.
Holly grinned guilty, "You better not say anything to the Commander Foaly, or I swear I'll steal your hoof moisturizer!"
Foaly's smile died away. "If you go anywhere near my moisturizer-" He was cut off by the gruff and ever so serious tones of Julius Root.
"Shut your whining Foaly, and send Captain Short in here as soon as possible. Bring yourself too. We have a serious issue on our hands."
"Right away Julius," he said in a grim voice, cutting the connection before the Commander could comment on the use of his name.
Holly was confused. "What issue are we talking about?"
Foaly turned to face her. "We've found him."
"Who?" She already knew the answer.
"Scalene," he replied grimacing. "Julius wants you on the team to retrieve him."
Holly's mind was set. "I'm ready as always."
"Trouble had located General Scalene. He's in E37. Holly, you're with me. Foaly, you follow us in the tech shuttle. Apparently the general wants to talk."
Holly and Foaly had just been debriefed in Root's office, and neither were looking to happy.
"Understood Commander." With a last nod, Holly turned around, and walked out of the office. She would have to get her weapons from Foaly's office before heading out to the shuttle.
She was still puzzled over whether Artemis Fowl was behind this or not. The boy was certainly capable of remaining some of his memory, and he was drawn to trouble. Holly shook her head; he would be her main focus after the mission.
"Holly, stop!" Came Foaly's voice, panting. He wasn't one to run around, and instead preferred to sit on his comfortable seat, cackling at mud men and their sports. Though he did not quite get the concept of sumo wrestling. Why would you want to get so fat?
Holly slowed down until the centaur caught up with her.
"Yes? Need anything?" She asked.
"Can you come into my room before we go and get you equipped?" He asked, with a tone that resembled a slight tremor of nervousness.
Holly's eyebrows furrowed. "Why? Do you have something there?"
"No, I just want to talk," he said, averting his eyes.
Pushing her curiosity aside, Holly started walking again. "Alright then. Lead the way."
They set off together
