Hi, thank you again for reviewing. I will remember to capitalize trouble this time. Well for the next chapter.
Shark woke up surrounded by people. He groaned and waited for his vision to clear. Once it did, he nearly fell back unconscious. There was a huge mud man in front of him. There were others, mostly elves, but none of them were as threatening, and Shark always had trouble concentrating on more than one thing. But a minute later, he was forced to concentrate on a very red faced elf smoking a cigar. He knew this elf, every goblin that had anything to do with the B'wa Kell hated him. Julius Root. And he was yelling. Shark finally heard some of what he was saying,
"with 100 biobombs and mud man explosives!!"
"what"
"you idiot, who are you working for?"
"why should I tell you?"
"because you get years of your sentence"
'sentence?"
"dar'vit the years you go to jail"
"oh, Jefferson Hazel.
Holly almost cheered, finally a breakthrough. But the name, it sounded so familiar. She was reminded of her early childhood for some reason. She went back to paying attention to the interview. Root looked like he was going to explode. She couldn't blame him. The goblin was so incredibly stupid.
"what were you going to do after you blew us all up?"
"what?"
"the explosives, what were you going to do after you used the explosives?"
Artemis studied the goblin and got Root's attention before he gave himself a heart attack.
"It's no use, he doesn't know any more, he was just a henchmen"
"how do you know that?"
"he is truly confused. He probably wasn't told the plan."
Vinyaya spoke for the first time since the goblin was arrested
"so, our next stop is to find this Jefferson hazel"
Trouble buckled in and looked over at the drivers seat. Holly had won the right to drive. They had found Jefferson Hazel surprisingly easily. So easily, in fact, that a trap was suspected. That was why holly and Trouble were armed with the newest technology and the newest suits. Holly gunned the engine of the newest LEP car. Trouble grinned. He knew as well as Holly that she wasn't going to worry about any speed limits. Apparently Foaly knew that too. His face appeared on the dashboard screen.
"Holly, you are a police officer, please observe the speed limit"
"but, we are on a top priority mission, we need to go as fast as possible"
Trouble grinned as Holly gunned it and sped out of the parking garage. That was one thing he liked about her. She wasn't afraid to take chances. Well, one of the many things. He would never say it aloud, but he had had a crush on Holly for years.
He was lost in his thoughts until they arrived at an apartment building. Trouble unbuckled and got out. For the 1st time he noticed the state of the building. Most of the windows were cracked and there didn't look like there was a square inch of clean building. The authorities did a good job making sure most of the city was good, but there were certain areas they turned a blind eye to. These areas turned into breeding grounds for gangs.
"not very impressive'
"we'll be lucky if all this dirt hasn't poisoned him"
"let's go"
Trouble and holly walked up to the door and marched in. They approached the stairwell, seeing as there was no way they were trusting the elevator in this building. Holly looked up with doubt.
"you realize this would be the perfect place for an ambush"
Trouble had to agree. The stairwell was narrow with no exits. Nevertheless they both began up the stairs. It was so narrow they had to one by one. Trouble couldn't help but feel nervous. He kept thinking something was wrong. One glance at Holly proved she felt the same way. She had her gun out and kept looking behind, like she was watching for something. That was when everything went wrong.
A bullet from a human gun shot down, narrowly missing trouble's shoulder. His immediate thought was to protect Holly, but when he turned around she was already down with her gun pointed towards the general area the bullet had come from.
"Trouble, get down"
"you okay?"
"yes, but you won't be if you stay up like that"
Trouble quickly sank down to Holly's level and pulled out his gun. He heard a laugh and tried to spin around, but before he could, he was shot by a fairy gun, and everything went black.
Please don't hate me for the cliffhanger!! I tried to capitalize everything right, but I might have missed a few. Please review. I will have the next chapter up within a few days.
