Chapter 2:

Hope doesn't lye in bravery

It lye's in fear.

It had been 2 hours since the kidnapping and butler seemed to be recovering and was now determined to get his sister back, holly got up and walked over to him "butler I don't want to burst your bubble, but hope doesn't lie in bravery my friend, it lie's in fear.

"Don't be stupid he's scared, were all scared, especially Artemis since he doesn't want to lose his girlfriend Minerva." teased foaly through the "at least I didn't need my butt resized" Artemis retorted.

Despite himself butler even smiled.

Outside the hotel in Swiztland (A/n sorry I can't spell)

The gang were just finishing watching the CCTV footage of the car that Juliet and Minerva were driven away in.

"Hmm there's something funny about that cars number plate" said butler"

"What like the fact its fake" replied foaly

"No I just recognize the design of the number plate" they were now walking up the stairs to the luxury suite, since holly was claustaphobic (A/n still cant spell) "anyway have you run the descriptions of that man through face recognition yet foaly"

"Yes but it came up with nothing, but I can tell that he's in some sort of mafia"

"Can you figure out which mafia he's in?"

"Yes probably"

Then they reached the top of the stairs and Artemis unlocked the door. The same thought kept on going through butlers mind 'why is that number plate bothering me'

Artemis opens the curtains…..

"Butler I figured out what mafia it was it turns out he's an ex…"

Butler cut him off "not now foaly im thinking"

"I think you really need to know this though…."

"Foaly, SHUT IT"

'Ahh of course it's a Russian number plate, but why would that matter.'

"But butler he's an ex thug of the…."

Then it all clicked "THE RUSSIAN MAFFIA" butler shouted

But he was to late, because three sniper based tranquilizers were headed there way to all of there necks

All you could here in the floor below was a small shattering sound followed by a muffled thunk…..
