Chapter 2: Missing

Holly Short was sitting at her desk looking over a report Mulch had written up. Well, poorly written up would be the best way to describe it when there was a soft knock on her door. She laid the file down on the desk. "Come in." The door of the office opened and an elf wearing a LEPretrieval uniform walked in. Holly felt a small smile form on her lips. "Well look at who we have here. What brings you here Major?"

"A few things." The elf said placing a cup of nettle smoothie on Holly's desk.

Holly looked from the cup to the elf and back again. "What's this for?"

"Well…."

"Trouble Kelp are you trying to bribe me?" She asked standing up.

"No! No, I'm not trying to bribe you," Trouble said holding his hands up. "I just thought I should bring this to you before telling you why I'm here."

Holly raised an eyebrow before picking the cup up and taking a sip of it. "Okay. So why are you here?" She asked sitting down.

Trouble sat down in the chair across from her. "You're not going to like it." Holly raised an eyebrow. "We lost Koboi."

"What?" She asked in a small voice.

"Koboi got away from us."

Holly put her head in her hands, allowing a feeling of sadness and defeat wash over her. She couldn't believe it, that crazy pixie gotten away. Suddenly her feeling of sadness became a feeling of terror. "Oh Frond," she whispered. "Trouble I need you to get Artemis and Butler. If Koboi… what is it?" She asked.

"That's the other reason why I'm here." Trouble said quietly. Holly looked at him confused. He sighed, "We know where Koboi is. She's in the Caribbean. I sent out a team to get her when they saw an old friend of yours."

"Artemis," she whispered without hesitation.

He nodded his head. "He and Butler were going into a museum, the same museum Koboi was known to have been visiting the past few days."

"So what happened?" Holly asked, wishing that the worst had not become of her friend.

"That's the thing. We don't know what happened." Trouble said running a hand through his hair.

"Did Foaly check the cameras? Did anybody see what happened?"

"Foaly isn't working with the LEP anymore. No one has seen him in a few weeks." He said sadly. "But there was a mud man who saw something. He said that he was fallowing Artemis and Butler around a corner when he heard someone yell no. When he came around the corner there was a bright flash of light but no one was there."

Holly looked up at him confused. "So where are they?"

"I have no idea," Trouble said shaking his head.

Holly got up from her chair and grabbed a coat. "C'mon."

Trouble looked up at her for a moment. "Where are we going?"

"To the Caribbean."
