Oh, and I don't own Artemis Fowl.
Summary: Uproar! Artemis Fowl, aged two months has been kidnapped! No ransom demand has come through; it is as if he has disappeared without a trace. But deep underground..a deep secret- Bah, fine, it's the fairies who kidnapped him!
A/N: Next!
Enough of my ramblings.

Chapter Three: George's Plan.
"You see, Edwina! This plan will work perfectly!" Georgio exclaimed over 'the Plan'. "Look, the fairies have already taken the Mud Baby, Artemis Fowl the Second. Excellent! Now, the plan will come into fruit!"
"Fruition," Edwina corrected. "But this Scroll, you are sure it will release Frond's powers? How can this Scroll be so cleverly hidden?" Georgio shrugged.
"Unfortunately, Maximus Frond MCCCXXXVII was a smart guy," he explained. "But fortunately for us, we have the Mud Baby. The Plan will work perfectorily!"
"Perfectly..."
"Of course, Edwina my dear."
Ten years later...
"You're WHAT?!" Maxwell Pork yelled at a shamefaced Julius Root. Characteristically, Root was red with shame.
"I'm sorry, Pork," he said. "But you have to do it. No other officers except you four are available and capable of this task."
"What happened to everyone else?" Jashin glared meanly at Root. "Did you send them on another life-threatening mission?"
"Jashin, all missions around here are life-threatening," mumbled Douglas Fishe. Jashin turned 'the Stare' on him. He shrugged helplessly.
"What?"
"I think the point is, we're not going to take the Fowl boy on the mission," Tobias said seriously. "I may not like Mud Men, but Frond's sake, the boy is ten years old. Why now?" Root scrubbed a hand in his hair, which was turning a delicate shade of red.
"One word. George Rollasonnè," he explained. Or tried to.
"Isn't that two words?" came the reply of all four. Root glared at them.
"George Rollasonnè is a descendant of the court jester of Maximus Frond MCCCXXXVII, Georgio Rollasonnè. We have bugged George's apartment. He has a girlfriend by the name of Edwina, and the two of them are plotting revenge against the whole of Haven, who aided Atlantis in the epic War of the Banana. George has spoken of a Plan, but not in detail. We believe he wants to use Artemis to find teh Scroll of Doom," he said in one breath.
"How would he capture Artemis," Douglas scoffed. "We have him under top security and 24/7 surveillance."
Suddenly, an officer rushed into the room.
"Artemis Fowl has disappeared!" he said breathlessly.
Chaos ensued.
(A/N: I should end it here, but noooo, I'm too nice.)
"WHAT?!" Root's eyes bugged out rather comically. "How did he get out?!" the officer quailed under Root's menacing stare.
"Sir, the surveillance cameras show George Rollasonnè grinning and waving at the hidden cameras. We suspect an inside officer!"
There were gasps around the room.
"Impossible," Maxwell muttered.
"Quite," Douglas Fishe agreed.
"Stupid," Tobias said between clenched teeth.
"Shut up!" Jashin Fugly glared at them all.
"I think we need to look at the surveillance camera video footage."
"Impossible!" cried Douglas. "How on Frond did George manage to kidnap the boy? Why, he's only a barmy pixie!"
"I believe it was with the help of an insider," Maxwell explained gravely. "But we have no idea who it could have been." Jashin Fugly shook her head.
"Only a few people knew where Artemis was," she said thoughtfully. "No one else had the security clearance." Tobias nodded his head.
"I agree," he agreed. "But we need to know who exactly was authorised to know of Fowl's whereabouts."
Julius slapped a sheet of paper onto the table. Maxwell picked it up.
"Julius Root, Foaly, Maxwell Pork, Tobias Heater, Douglas Fishe, Jashin Fugly and George Rollasonnè are authorised to know of one Artemis Fowl's whereabouts," he read. "Wait a moment- how did Rollasonnè get on that list?!" Douglas Fishe reached forwards and snatched the paper from Maxwell's hands.
"What the Jashin?!" he exclaimed. "Who put him on there?!" Julius tried to take the paper from Douglas, but ended up ripping it instead.
"Good one," Tobias mumbled. Jashin simply glared at Root, who turned beet red. Not surprising. He stood up.
"Well, you'll have to find Fowl," he said. "George will probably have already set him hard at work to find where teh Scroll is. Raid Rollasonnè's various homes. And I will fix up this stupid security leak." The four LEP officers stood up, and left. After a few minutes, Root left as well, muttering something about stupid mistakes in the system.
Artemis groaned as the world blurred back into shape. He appeared to be sitting in a bedroom. Standing up at once, he tried the door, which was locked for obvious reasons. He then looked through the windows. Barred. This person was thorough. Then, the door knob slowly turned and the door creaked inwards.
"Why hello, Arty!" came the squawk of George Rollasonnè. Some things never change. Artemis looked taken aback. "I want you to figure out the location of teh Scroll of Doom! That's all I wanted to say." With that, George exited the door. There was a sound of multiple locks being drawn outside.
