Holly sat in her chair around the conference room table next to Foaly. It was way too early for work. Despite the fact that it was 4:30 in the morning she managed to get out of bed for work with some help from the sound of Root yelling in her ear as she answers the phone. She turned to Foaly "What's going on?" she yawned.

Foaly shrugged. "I don't know" he stretched.

Chix bent over on Foaly's left "I'll tell you Holly if you give me a kiss." He said. Foaly shoved Chix with his elbow in his eye.

Everyone was mumbling away as to what they had to come here so early for. Most of the fairies had blue circles around their eyes with a cup of coffee (The only other useful human invention besides the T.V) in their hands.

Commander stood up at the end of the table and cleared his throat. "Listen up!" The commander yelled, pounding his fist on the table. Everyone immediately was quiet. They should be quiet or else its paper work for the day. "I called you all you guys here because it so seems that some mud man is messing with our system and kidnapping fairies, once AGAIN!"

Everybody looked at Holly. They all knew who this "mud man" was obviously. Holly just sat back as she sank in her chair. Root cleared his throat again for attention. "The mud man left a ransom saying he want fairy gold. Here's the good news, it's not Fowl. The note was typed and was signed FTR"

Everyone looked at the commander in awe. Holly stood up "No mud man except for Fowl knows of the fairies existence and gold!" she said.

"That's the problem short stuff!" Root said. "Foaly, however found information of FRI on the mud men web (Those idiots). We found their location and only could hack into a small part of their computer motherboard. The only useful information there was is that they are having a privet conference on Friday. We suspect that might be about us." There was a knock on the door. "Come in". A LEP officer led a mud man through the door. Everybody looked and was not surprised.

"Nice to see you again." Artemis smiled. He looked mainly at Holly.

The commander raised an eyebrow, something was missing. "Where's Butler?"

Artemis's expression dropped. "He…is unavailable." Though there was no expression, his eyes were filled with guilt.

Root nodded his head. "Sit." He said. Artemis sat at the other end of the table closest to the door next to Holly. Root nodded his head at her and she began to mesmerize him. Artemis was not surprised and allowed himself to be mesmerized. "Tell me Fowl, what do you know about FTR?"

"They are a business group that makes technology using history's failures. I received a phone call yesterday from them asking me to attend their privet conference on Friday." He said.

Roots eyes grew big. He held up his hand in signal for Holly to stop. Artemis rubbed his eyes. Everyone watched as the commander clapped his hands together. "Perfect."

It was pretty obvious what the plan was.


Artemis walked into the Fowl manor as quietly as he could. He was about to turn the corner but Butler stood in his way. "Where have you been?" he asked. "I thought you we in your room sleeping?" Artemis's brain rushed trying to find an excuse.

"I just wanted some fresh air." He said.

Butler looked at him. "You smell like fish." Butler said. Artemis was busted. "Would it happen to be the LEP PODS? Or their suits?"

Artemis's face flushed. They turned red. Or pink if you prefer. The color kind of looked like blush. "I'm sorry Butler." Artemis said. "I didn't want to put you in danger again.

Butler looked at him. "Next time, bring Juliet." Butler said. Artemis made a face. This was very immature of him however he did so because of the face that he didn't want to be protected by a girl. But don't get me wrong, he respected females as much as another human.

Artemis nodded. "Is mother home?" Artemis asked.

Butler shook his head. "No, she is with your father on a cruise. They will be back 4 days from now, which is Monday."

"Dinner's ready!" Juliet called. Both the males quickly got around to the table. "Well Artemis, what have you been up to?"

Artemis looked down. "A lot." He mumbled.


Artemis came out of the Fowl manor at 9am. "Are you ready to go?" said a voice. Artemis looked up. There was nothing in sight but a glimpse of sunlight, that seemed to be brighter then everything else. (Note: I am not trying to make a poem)

"Yes Holly. I am." He said calmly.

"Good." She said and poked something in his eye.

Artemis shook his head. "What was that?"

A video-camera-contact. They are transparent this time." She said.

Artemis nodded remembering the time with Spiro. "Who else is with you?" he asked.

"The rest of the LEP team. We got your back. You know what to do." She said.

Artemis nodded. He then got picked up and flew all they way to a valley near FTR. He walked into the front of the building. There was a security system there. He placed his hand on the green grid which was stuck on the wall. "Hand recognized." The machine said. "Welcome, Artemis Fowl."

Artemis walked into the elevator and pressed 24. He calmed himself as the elevator door opened again and walked into room 15.

He walked through the doors. It looked like the LEP Conference room, only more windows. At the very end of the table he could see a girl about 5'2 in a black work suit with white lace sticking out of her neck collar.

"Nice of you to join us, Mr. Fowl. We were just getting started."
