Chapter 1: Prologue

3rd Person POV

"Arty? Arty!" Angeleine Fowl called down the stairs. She wanted her son so she could tell him she was felling better. Like a ghost, Artemis Fowl appeared at her door. He smiled his vampire smile. "Hello, Mother, are you well?" Angeleine groaned. Her son never spoke casually, always formal. "Yes, Arty, I am feeling better, and I would like to go out to a spa. Would you please get Juliet to get the car ready?"

This time it was Artemis who groaned. His mother was always going out to spas, and she liked ordering him around too. Reluctantly, he turned and glided out of the room. Finding Juliet Butler in the kitchen, he then returned to his study. Finally, he thought, time to think. I haven't had rest since the Atlantis Complex.

Artemis grimaced at this thought. Before he could remind himself of what the Atlantis Complex was, and he loved to remind himself, there was a whistle, a whistle that could only belong to a gun. Artemis Fowl slumped over, asleep on his desk.

Butler heard a whistle in his principal's study. He knew that whistle. It was a tranquilizer gun. He barged in the room only to find a man in a dark suit jump out the window with an Artemis-sized bag in his grip.

Outside there was a black van, with tinted windows. Butler pulled out his Sig Sauer and began shooting the ground in front of the man; he dared not shoot at him, as he could hurt Artemis.

The man moved onwards, and threw Artemis in the trunk. He turned and glanced one more time at Butler, and the bodyguard caught a glimpse of someone who was feared in his world. "Ari Batchelder…" Butler whispered. Of course a top-notch kidnapper would be sent. Butler watched as the van drove away, and cursed, unable to chase after. If he got out of Fowl Manor, he would still be too late to save his principal. Butler cursed again, and went to go find a search party.
