Captain Holly Short leaned against the doorframe, watching fairies mill around, setting up the mind wiping technology. She gave a small sigh. Artemis Fowl the Second was going to be mind wiped today. He would forget everything he had learned about the fairies, and everything that he had learned while he was with the fairies. She could remember the arrogant, unfeeling individual that she had first met, her first impression of Artemis Fowl. Needless to say, it was not a very good first impression.
Her attention was attracted by a commotion on the other side of the hall. Artemis, Butler, and Juliet were being led in. She watched Artemis's face as he walked toward the mind wiping machines. It was calm and cool, and most people would have though that he was calm and collected. But Holly knew him better than she would like to admit, and she could almost see the tumult of emotion that was roiling inside of him. It gave her a strange sense of satisfaction that he didn't want to forget about the fairies.
Now, they had been almost friends. It was really a pity that this had to be done. But she could see the Commander's viewpoint. Artemis was a danger to the People. But perhaps, in time, he might have become an asset. He was quite a genius; he might have been able to help them sometime.
The sunlight streamed though the windows, shining on Artemis' face; the raven black hair, the striking blue eyes. Once he grows up a bit, he might actually be handsome, She thought to herself in surprise. Artemis Fowl, handsome. HA.
The small group was led over to some chairs in front of the view screen. One of the Techies looked up at her and motioned for her to come over. It was time. Slowly she walked over, a small smile on her face. The Convict, Mulch, was being led out. She watched and listened, as Foaly explained was he was going to do to them, and how he was fixing Butler's problem, so that nothing would show. And then it was really the time. Right before she was starting the Mesmer, Artemis stopped her. He asked her if she remembered how he was when he first met her, and how he had changed. Having already though about this, she still turned toward the Commander with not much hope. But no. Root was very set in this. The Mud Boy HAD to lose his memory. She turned back to Artemis with a small, sad smile, on her face. Right before she began the Mesmer she leaned forward and whispered in his ear, her lips barely moving.
"I am sure you have some plan to defeat the Mesmer. You always have some plan. Good luck my friend. And may we meet again, Artemis Fowl. May we meet again. " He stared up at her, his deep blue eyes staring in surprise. She gave him a small smile, and the next time she spoke, her voice was layered with Mesmer.
