Pulling his fingers through his raven hair, Artemis stared at his computer screen, his fingers moving fastley a crossed the keyboard, as he searched for something. Damnit! He grabbed for the communicator, and contacted Holly.

"Finally!"she yelled at him.

"Woah, no hello? Or anything?"He asked still staring at the screen.

"Just give me the damn information."she muttered, staring at the screen in front of her and then looking to Foaly. "That is if you have any..."

"I do!" God, couldn't he just go one day without Holly interfering with his business. No.

"It's I contacted you to tell you, I can't give it to you." And then he ended the conversation. Soon enough Holly would be here, just what he wanted.

Butler now stood at the door, and looked around frantically. "Nobody."he said and sighed. "So what's with all the yelling?"he questioned raising an eyebrow. "Nothing, can we just go now?" Without even an anwser to the so-called question Artemis, now legally eighteen stood up and walked out of his room.

"Arty?"his mother called before he could step outside the door of the house. "Where are you going?"she asked. "To see a friend."he gave an answer lamely and then left, Butler following behind him. And soon enough Holly was floating above their heads, a smirk a crossed her face.

Ever since they had came back and got involved in World War III, she had felt something, something different. She kept telling herself she didn't feel any different towards Artemis, that he was still the same annoying genius she had always know, which he was. Her thoughts where interrupted by Artemis voice, "You can stop trying to hide. I can feel your breath above me." Holly dropped down to walk next to Artemis.

"So what's so goddamn important that you had to tell me you couldn't tell me, just so you could get me here?" She's good, Artemis thought smirking, and the smirk was wiped off of Holly's face. Something isn't good, and I don't think Artemis plans on telling me. "Come on tell me, if you don't I'll have Foaly hack your computer files."

"It wouldn't work this time."

Something was diffently up, seeing as he was saying Foaly wouldn't be able to hack his computer files. The last time he said that, which happened to be a couple of months ago, something horrible happened.(Didn't happen in any of the books)
