Chapter 3
Disclaimer: I don't own Artemis Fowl.
Foaly was in the ops booth. Hope and Grubb's helmet feeds were on one computer screen. Foaly idly noticed that they had gone to Holly's favorite spot for the ritual. Hope took off her helmet. Foaly sighed. It was against regulations. He heard Grubb tell her that. Then he heard something that made his blood run cold.
"Artemis and Holly. Touching."
Foaly was fixed on the helmet feed. Thankfully Hope had set her helmet down so he could see what was happening. Grubb's helmet showed that he was totally oblivious. Not surprising. He watched the girl knock Hope out and fish the acorn out of her pocket.
"Won't be making that mistake." She was referring to how Holly had gotten her magic during the Fowl Manor Siege.
Foaly moaned. "Oh, no." He sighed. "Commander! Holly! Artemis! Ops booth! Now!" he yelled.

Grubb crawled out of the bushes, having finally found an acorn. "Hope? Hope!"
Her helmet was there, but she was gone. Foaly's voice came through his own helmet. "Grubb! She got kidnapped by a mud girl." Foaly sighed. "Get back here. Now."

Trouble Kelp, Artemis Fowl and Holly were reviewing the footage from Hope's camera. Trouble sighed. "You know, I told her when I gave her clearance not to get kidnapped."
Holly shook her head. "What are we going to do?"
Artemis was thinking. "Send a relative who should be dead to get Hope then mind wipe her."
Trouble nodded. "I suppose that could work. Holly, will you go with him?"
"Of course. Everyone knows Artemis and I are better than anyone for saving the world."
Artemis grinned. "It can't be any harder than saving the world from myself. We've done that."
"True. But this girl apparently knows a lot about us. I wonder how."
Artemis cursed suddenly. "Remember how I got my memory back after you mind wiped me? I had a computer disk. I had forgotten about it. It would have been in my room. When we were in Hybras, my mother put my things in the attic. They were making her sad. I bet the disk fell out and was left in the attic."
"That would explain how she only knows the beginning of our story. She said she was confused by the heart on the tree."
Artemis nodded. "Well Commander, are we cleared to go to the surface?"
Trouble nodded. "Just to be safe, I'm coming with you. In case history decides to repeat itself."
Reviews make me feel special.
