My first story! Just playing around with an idea. Please review...and have fun?
I don't own Artemis Fowl.
Coolly, Artemis walked into the office, ignoring the strange glances he received. Not many expected a 15 year old boy dressed in fine, two-piece Italian suits to be approaching the "law firm" Crane and Sparrow. Then again, not many knew Artemis Fowl. He and his giant manner servant, Butler, calmly seated themselves at the table in the meeting room, across from a nervous and fidgeting middle aged man. Mentally, Artemis scoffed. 'So this is who they send to thwart me?' he thought, amused. Artemis was well aware that Crane and Sparrow, the British law firm, was merely a business front for a very successful burglary and fencing enterprise. He planned to see what was really behind the scenes. More specifically, he was planning to steal any other valuable paintings they might posses. When he generously donated The Fairy Thief he had promised his fans more, and he planned to keep that promise. Not that anyone would know it was he, Artemis Fowl II, that was anonymously donating the priceless masterpieces. Worldwide fame wasn't for everyone. No, Artemis would be content with the idea that he had helped the world. Made a positive impact. Besides, if his face were suddenly all over every art magazine and 10 cent tabloid there was out there, it would be painfully difficult to continue plotting and scheming. Patiently, he waited for the man seated across from him to say something. When the man squirmed and looked at Butler, but said nothing, Artemis took his cue. Using an alias, he said pleasantly, "Hello, I am Alphonse Grant. This," he motioned to Butler, "is my colleague, Colonel Xavier Lee. We've come to discuss a matter of utmost importance. Are you the representative we will be speaking to?" The man extracted a handkerchief from his shirt pocket and wiped is forehead.
"Representative. Yes. Yes, that's me." he stuttered. Artemis could tell the man was a pawn, a dispensable and clueless pawn. He sighed, but not loudly enough for the man to hear.
"Your name?" Artemis asked, keeping his growing impatience out of his voice.
"Kev-Kevin. I'm Kevin. Nice to meet you." Kevin extended a clammy hand toward him. Eyeing it carefully, Artemis shook it. He noted mentally the weak grip Kevin had. Shaking his head, Artemis realized he would get no where with this man. His first encounter would not be as prosperous as he'd hoped, but that didn't discourage him in the least. In fact, he smiled. Artemis Fowl always came prepared, and whilst plotting this particular venture, the thought had crossed his large mind that Crane and Sparrow may send some hopeless, obedient puppy to greet him. Discreetly, Artemis slipped his hand into his pocket, pushing a controller than set off his cell phone. As his telephone ring floated through the room, Artemis quickly pretend-searched his pockets. Finding his cell phone, he checked the number and apologized to Kevin. "I have to take this call. Excuse me for a moment."
"Oh, no problem..." Kevin didn't look all too pleased to be left alone in a room with Butler. Quietly, Artemis slipped out of the room, shut off his phone, and looked around the hallway. Seeing nothing but a few "lawyers" and a water fountain, Artemis proceeded to
