Holly awoke to a bright sunshine shining through the third story window of Fowl Manor. The room she was staying in was large and familiar, she had been staying in it often and it had become a sort of vacation home to her. She squinted at it as the sunlight blinded her, and she hid under the covers. As she tried to fall back to sleep, an alarm went off next to her bed.

She threw the covers off of her head and slammed down on the "off" button on the clock and sat up. It blinked seven o'clock at her and Holly realized that she had to get up. Artemis had warned her that his parents ate at seven-thirty sharp two months ago, and she had since learned that his mother did not take kindly to people who were late to mealtimes.

After she had groaned her way out of bed, she stretched and looked out the window. She stared at the sky and sun for a minute, taking in its warmth. A pity, she thought to herself, that glowing orb has given life to everything on earth and the mud people were turning its rays into a biohazard, she almost felt sorry for them.

She walked into her room's bathroom and turned on the shower. She still thought it was unsanitary to have a bathroom inside but Fowl jr. had told her to get over it. She was supposed to be acting like a mud woman, and she would have to use the bathroom indoors.

That was another thing, because of her frequent jaunts to the surface, Foaly had given Holly a special serum that would make her look a little more acceptable to the mud man eye. It was based off of what Opal Koboi did to herself, a "portable pituitary" he called it. So now, she was taller, not a basketball player, but she would pass as human, she just had to wear a hat.

Holly stepped into the shower and let the hot water run down her chestnut skin. It felt so relaxing to take a long shower, and she needed relaxation.

When she finally was ready, she boldly stepped out of her room. It reminded her a bit of Star Trek, to boldly go where no fairy has gone before, well, she has done that, many times over.

As she stepped down the hall towards the stairs, she got the feeling that someone was following her. Keeping up her pace she strained her keen ears but heard nothing. Then as she reached the stairs, she had the feeling again, and she turned around.

Standing there, wearing all black (surprise) was Constantine, and the sight of him reminded her of the events of the night before.

"what is the meaning of this Major?" Commander Vinyaya shouted through the screen in Artemis' living room. She seemed to be channeling Root's spirit. And without waiting for a response, she continued. "You let a human see you? And more than that, why isn't he wiped?"

"I'm sorry Commander." Responded Holly, who was holding her own really well. The room she was in was the same room she had been in when being reprimanded for healing Butler by Commander Root. Now one promotion and five years later, she was being reprimanded for being caught. "The human could see through my shield.-"

"And I prevented her from wiping my client." Cut in Artemis.

"Client?"

"Yes Commander, you see, Constantine here hired me to help him regain his memories." Constantine raised his hand in acknowledgement when Artemis mentioned his name. He seemed to be having fun, at least one of them was. Butler and Juliet stood at either entrance to the room, Butler with his usual poker-face and Juliet looked bored.

"What do you mean he could see through your shield even with the smart wafers." Asked Foaly, who shared a split screen with Vinyaya, it was the first thing he had said all night.

"I can explain that." Started Constantine.

"Shut it you filthy mud man!" shouted Vinyaya "Holly?"

"Holly? Holly Short?" he interrupted again.

Holly looked at Constantine. "Yes."

"I thought you were a captain." He said.

"I got a promotion." She said warily.

"Then this is outdated." He said. He reached into his shirt and pulled out a small dog tag. He tossed it over to Holly. She stared at it awestruck. On it was her exact name, serial number and rank from seven years ago.

"where did you get this?" she asked, trying to hold down the shivers that were going up and down her spine.

"Found it." He said simply. "When I woke up."

"That's impossible!" Shouted Holly. Constantine just shrugged.

"What is it major?" asked Vinyaya.

"This Commander." She held up the small piece of metal up to a camera. Both Vinyaya and Foaly drew in a breath.

"Holly," began the commander, her voice dangerously low. "When you get back I want that on my desk."

"Yes sir."

"Good, now explain to me exactly what happened."

As Holly explained what happened, Constantine leaned over and whispered to Artemis. "You know, I've been called a lot of things in the past few years but never 'filthy mud mad'"

"You'll get used to it."

"Fine," Stated Vinyaya, as Holly finished her explanation, "he can keep his memories, but he must stay here with Major Short looking over him for the next few weeks, or until he gets back his memories, whichever comes first."

Artemis stood up and straightened his suit. "Deal."

"Well if that's the deal I should go back to my place and get my stuff." Spoke up Constantine

"I'll go with you." Said Holly, "To make sure you don't try to get away."

"Fine."

The trip to Constantine's house was strangely nostalgic. Holly couldn't shake the feeling that she had been there before, with the owner who was standing in front of her now.

"You okay Holly?" asked Constantine waving a hand in front of her face.

"Wha- yeah." Holly shook her head, clearing it.

"Yeah you kinda spaced out there for a minute."

"Sorry."

"It's okay, but we'd better get downstairs before Artemis' mom has a fit."

Holly chuckled. "Yeah." And they began their descent. When they walked downstairs Holly studied Constantine. Trying to find out where she new him from, but she couldn't find anything.

"So, how did you and Artemis meet?" Constantine asked when they were halfway down the stairs.

"Long story." Said Holly.

"I've got time." So Holly told him. She told him the story of how Artemis kidnapped her. She went on to retell The Artic Incident. And she told him of the C-cube, and of Opal Koboi. She told him how the commander died, and of how they rediscovered the lost race of the demons. Plus she told him of Artemis' consulting firm.

"And that's How Artemis and I met." She finished. She looked at Constantine who was deep in thought. "What is it?"

"One of you is bad luck." He said, looking at her.

"It's him." she answered quickly.

"Yeah."

The centaur Foaly sat as his computer in section 8. He was researching the news in Russia.

"Anything?" asked Wing-Commander Vinyaya.

"No, it's like this guy just showed up out of nowhere. But it's him, he's back."

"Any ideas on what he wants?"

"Well, if his story is true-"

"Which it isn't." she looked at Foaly, "It can't be."

"Well if it is," restarted Foaly, annoyed at being interrupted. "then it means he wants revenge."

"For what?"

"Being born."
