Can I Trust Him?
Dear Reader;
Well, hi again! It's been awhile, I know. Anyways, I'm not going to bore you with a long paragraph of excuse, I'm only gonna tell you that I have other fan fiction to write, and I have to write when I don't have writer's block so, here it goes!

Alex closed his eyes and listed all the things he would have to cover this mission. It was going to tough, but it was nothing he couldn't do. After all, he had the experience most kids would envy.
1. Go undercover to Paris, France as a transfer student.
2. Investigate kidnappings taking place.
3. Find out who was behind all this.
4. Call MI6.
5. Save the day.
It was the usual mission. There was nothing but those five steps, but they were vague so it was a lot to take care of. The first step had been easy, but two and three were going to be tricky. Number four was as simple as the first step. The most problematic was five. Save the day. The hardest part of all and he was the one that always ended up doing it on these mission. Not that he was one to complain.
The seat belt light at the front of the plane went on. Alex buckled down for the descent.
Artemis had his hand over his mouth, and was leaning on the small table, over the map. This was not going to be easy. Then again, since was anything easy at first? From what he knew of, both the FBI and the MI6 were sending in agents. That was his biggest problem, but he would have to leave them to Foaly and Holly. He muttered something about his need to use magic and went on. Butler came into the room with Holly and Mulch.
"Artemis, Foaly gave me the files on the agents, but there's one slight problem."
"What is it, Holly?"
"We couldn't find anything on the MI6 agent."
Artemis looked up, "I'm not very surprised. MI6 takes more security measures with their operations, then the FBI does."
Mulch raised an eyebrow, "So we know one person we need to look out for, but the other we don't?"
"Precisely, that, my friend, is why I decided to go undercover this time."
"What are you going undercover as?"
"A transfer student, that way I can be myself. I already asked my parents permission." Artemis smirked, "Because I wish to be close to them and continue my studies while they search for my brothers. At least that's what Father thinks."
Holly smiled and then sat down along with Mulch, "So what do you need us to do?"
Alex straightened his tie and then slowly walked towards the gate. He was just about to enter when a black limo pulled up. The front door opened and a huge bulky man in a tailored suit got out and opened the back door. A boy about his age stepped out, scanned the area, and then smiled at Alex. Alex smiled back, turned, and then entered the school grounds.
He couldn't help but marvel at this place. It gave the feeling of being delicate and strong at the same time. The security was top-notch and everything seemed to be monitored. As Alex entered the building, he couldn't help but wonder, how the first kidnapping had happened in such a place. The door opened again behind him and he knew it was the boy he had seen earlier. His hand entered his pocket and he pulled out the piece of paper that would lead him to the Headmaster's Office.
After walking down the corridors for a bit, he found the office and slowly knocked on the door.
"Come in." the voice was female and a bit too cheerful.
He entered. The woman was behind a desk and she motioned towards the doors at the opposite side of the room. Alex nodded and entered the room. It was bright and sunny with a picture window facing a garden. A man, about 6ft3 with brown eyes and hair was standing at the window. He turned at smiled over at Alex, came towards him, and stuck out his hand.
"Good day, my boy!" he said. Alex suddenly realized that both the woman and the man had spoken in English, instead of French.
Alex nodded and shook, "And a good day to you." he said in French.
The man smiled, "No wonder they recommended you to become one of our transfer students, you speak our language very well."
"I visited France quite often with my uncle."
"Ah, no wonder. Your accent is almost perfect. Please, take a seat."
"Thank you."
The door opened behind him and Alex turned around and saw the boy that he saw earlier.
"Mr. Fowl! I'm so pleased that you could join us."
The boy nodded, "It is a pleasure to be here for the time being."
"No, it's more of pleasure for us. Please, take a seat."
As Alex and the boy sat down, the boy turned to him and extended out his hand to him, "My given name is Artemis, and yours?"
"Alex." Alex shook it and then thought for a moment, "Isn't Artemis the goddess of hunt?"
"Yes, it is. It was given to me because I am a hunter…in my own way."
"I see."
The Headmaster smiled, "Well, let's get down to business. My name is Mr. Kwik. Since this is such short notice, I'm going to have to ask the two of you share a room. A smaller one has been arranged for your bodyguard, as asked, Artemis."
"Thank you."
"Now, I suppose you'll want a tour of the grounds?" Mr. Kwik said, getting up.
As Artemis settled down for a moment in the garden, he thought for a moment. There was something about that Alex fellow that he could both trust and distrust. He turned to Butler, "What do you make of Alex."
Butler closed his eyes for a moment, "I think we can trust him with some things."
Artemis nodded, "My thoughts, exactly."
A shimmer came in from of the two of them.
"Holly, don't reveal yourself, there's too many cameras. What have you found out?"
"I did a search of the perimeter, but didn't find anything suspicious."
"I see, then I will continue the investigation on my own until I need your help."
"Okay. I'll tell you anything that I find out."
"So will I. Good-bye, for now."
Alex sat down and began thinking. Could he trust Artemis, or would he have to be on his guard around him? These questions were going to take a whole lot to answer so Alex decided that now was not the best time and that he needed to get ready to investigate. There was only one thing to do before getting to work and that was to rest. After all, he was suffering from a mild case of jetlag.
Once again, this is a long chapter for me…anyways I'll just be going and get going on a new chapter on Inushin…the next one I need to update, along with that I think I'll start another fanfic so, see ya guys later! Oh and by the way, thanks for all of those that are subscribing!!! It's really keeping me motivated!!
