A/N: Sorry I haven't updated in a while. But WINTER BREAK is here and I should update over the course of the next two weeks. Don't worry, I have not abandoned FanFiction yet!
Epidemic
Chapter Two
Previously….
"Holly! I'm so happy to see you!" Beckett exclaimed, hugging Holly tighter. Holly laughed a small laugh.
"Thank you for reminding me. I called you down here because we have an extra plane ticket to Paris. My father was unable to go because he got an urgent call form the World Environmental Organization. It was an emergency meeting in Africa. It's too late to sell the ticket, since the fight is tomorrow. I know you have the entire Spring Break off, so I wanted to know if you wanted to help me put that ticket to good use. Would you like to go with me, my mother, and the twins to Paris?"
Holly flopped down on the hotel bed. She had jet lag. It was by for the longest plane ride in her life, considering that she had never been on a plane before. It was still only ten o'clock in the morning, and Artemis had said that they were going to spend the rest of the day out. Angeline was planning to take the kids to Disneyland and Holly could not give up an offer like that.
The rest of the day was a blur to Holly. She was very tired and almost fell asleep on the bus tour. She was excited to go on the rides, yes, but she couldn't stay awake for much longer. When they got out of Disney and had finally made it to the cab, Holly had passed out. Artemis had let her head fall on his shoulder; he actually enjoyed having her close. When they got to the hotel, Artemis had carried Holly into the elevator and into the suite. He had placed her softly on the bed, careful not to wake her.
Artemis had gotten into his nightclothes and flopped onto the bed next to Holly. They were both going to get a good night's rest, considering what they've been through today.
**Epidemic**
It was six o'clock when Artemis woke up. He was still so tired, but got out of bed anyway and headed for the small living room in the suite. He yawned quietly and sat down on the velvet couch. He reached for the remote and turned on the Television. The news was on and it seemed that the news anchor was talking about some sort of city, or possibly country wide lockdown. Artemis had missed the beginning of the news broadcast, and didn't understand why they would put Paris into lockdown. When the news ended, he rushed to the bedroom, grabbed the laptop out of his bag and searched for the news broadcast on their website.
What he watched had absoulutely stunned him.
Quarantine?
A/N: Yeah, yeah, I know it's short, be quite. I couldn't think of anything to write. Maybe I'll have another chapter up later on tonight. I can think better when I'm in bed, not watching TV.
See ya soon,
