Hi Again,
At last! Exams are done!!!
Forgive me if I cut it short! I hate too much "useless" conversation.
I don't own anything I own. I only own the characters I created and the plot.

Murmansk – 8:00 am.
The phone rang. Usually, one of Britva's men will get it.
But it came from one of the Phoenix.
This must be business, Britva thought. He ordered his man to get the phone.
"Yes. What do you want?" he said. The com-phone showed Jon Spiro, one of the higher members of Phoenix.
"Miss Kingsley wants to know embroidered clothing worth forty bills and also a breed of cats called Felis, the Dublin's richest. We will have a reunion in Hyde Park."
Britva knew what he meant.
And his eyes ooze evil and hatred once more.
"I'm on it."

Spiro Needle – 8:15 am
In the living room, there are loads of hi-tech security devices. However, if a newcomer is invited, those gadgets won't be seen. Why? Because the living room is amazing. It is huge, filled with lovely decorations; full of entertainment and the structure of the living room make use of glass and steel. It was nicely made. Surely, the visitor would not notice the little bits of widgets that scattered around the room.
However, the owner, Jon Spiro, only allowed one visitor to stay.
And that is his "distant" cousin, Jason Hayden,
"Who was that, Jon?" his sinister cousin, like Jon Spiro himself, asked.
"It was the leader of the Russian Mafia, Jason." Spiro grinned.
Jason Hayden is Jon Spiro's distant cousin. If one will research how they are related, they will have a very long list of connections between them.
If you are going to compare them, you might say "They are only friends – not relatives."
Jason has different face features. He is tall and looked European (it's because his parents are European) unlike Jon.
Jon Spiro is an American and shorter.
But both have similarities, they are both American citizen.
And they are both sinister.
"So tell me about this business." Jason's voice was similar to sinister crime lords.
"Miss Kingsley, our new contact, wanted to know about embroidered clothing worth forty bills. And also she wanted a breed of cats named Felis, the Dublin's richest. She wants us to meet her and the Red Boys in the Hyde Park."
Jason sat down in one of the living room's couch analyzing the hiddenmessage behind the said words.
"Hmmm…'embroidered clothing' means a very valuable object. This is a good deal. Imagine it could cost Forty billion dollars. And that is only the minimum deal." Jason's eyes twinkled as he imagined thousands of cash in his hands.
Jon Spiro looked through the glass windows. He not only thirsted for the cost. Something in the message revived his guts.
"Hey! I guess that you could earn your payback." Jason chuckled.
Jon Spiro turned his head and cast an evil grin.
"Yes at last, my cousin."

Westminster, London – 9:00 am:
"Pauline" sat in her personal room full of entertainment systems such as DVDs and computers. She could watch any movie she wishes,
Her father wanted special for her. He introduced her to his part-time servants.
"Daddy, please tell them that I am your adopted daughter." 'Pauline' said.
Charleston Kingsley III, her father, was thunderstruck.
"Why?"
"Pauline" looked directly into his dark brown eyes.
"If you will tell them I am your daughter, they won't believe you or me. Do you want that?" she said in her sweetest voice.
The adult was stunned by the girl's lovely green eyes. Her dazzling eyes reached the depths of his heart. Every word she spoke made his heart move and got in love with it. Her voice was so soft, sweet and gentle that he agreed.
"Alright." He said.
She smiled sweetly to his father. "I love you, Daddy." Then, she followed him down the great stairway.
Nobody, including his father, saw her grin that filled in her face - Her unusual evil grin.
After this lousy know-me-know-you conversation, I will work on my step-2.

Fowl Manor – 9:30 am
"Arty!" Angeline's voice was heard by Artemis. He was in his room checking the "suspected" people's profiles and everything. He "fault checked" them using his C-Cube.
Arty went down in the great stairway like the one in Titanic. He went into the living room and found Juliet and Butler carrying the bags of his parents.
"Arty, we will go to Stockholm for business meeting. After that, we'll get back here as soon as possible so that we could spend time together.'" his Artemis Senior said.
"And if something bad happened, we'll go home immediately." His mother said.
"Don't worry about me." Artemis smiled. It seems that he wants them to take their time and not to worry about him. But the real reason is that he doesn't want them to know that fairies will be staying in the manor.
"Let's get going before the reporters around the world get here." Artemis Sr. said.
Lately, the news reporters and journalists bombarded the airlines. And to count them, they are hundreds not including the camera men. So the best way to avoid "traffic" is to leave early before they come.
Artemis' parents went inside the black limousine.
"Take care, Artemis." His mother said. Then, the limousine left and disappeared through the huge metal gates.
Artemis looked around. The air was cool and the lovely trees blocked the sun.
Then, from the sky, he noticed a huge shimmering light.
"Yi, er, san, se…shi" Artemis counted one to ten in Mandarin after noticing the shimmering light above him. (a/n: forgive me if my Hanyu is wrong)
"We're clear!" he said loud and clear to the shimmering light in the blue sky.
And that moment, five fairy chutes unshielded.
3:15 pm
Hyde Park
People went here and went there, taking pictures and spent time with their family. Everyone was having a good time playing.
But one man in white polo shirt wasn't.
He sat in one of the chairs and watching the people laughing and kissing. He looked at his watch, its 3:15 pm.
"She's late." He groaned. Then, he heard footsteps behind him.
"Are you Jon Spiro?" the man behind him said.
"Yes, and you must be Bri-"
"Don't say my name." said the man. He was rather tall and with Russian accent. He had two bodyguards behind him – and they looked 'deadly'.
"So where is this Miss Kingsley?" the Russian man asked rather stern
Jon Spiro was going to say "She's late" but when a voice beside them said
"I'm here"
They turned and surprised that she was only a teen-aged girl.
"Don't tell me, you are Kingsley!" Jon Spiro said.
"Yes, I am Pauline Kingsley." the girl smirk, similar to Artemis'.
Jon Spiro thought of Artemis Fowl. He was reminded of him.
"You reminded me of someone." Jon Spiro said.
The girl looked up and smiled, "Artemis Fowl the Second?"
Another trick from a kid again?
Jon Spiro looked confused and angry at the same time.
"We'll let's get to our plan" Miss Kingsley said.
For a few minutes they were talking like formal. Nobody understood what they meant nor hear what they say.
But whoever listened to them might out what are they "planning".
The most sinister and worst plan a person ever heard.

4:00 pm
FOWL STUDY
"It's been hours and we haven't found anything!" Holly said.
"Detect Opal Koboi!" Artemis said to his C-Cube.
"None found." C-Cube said.
"D'Arvit!" Trouble said.
Then, Foaly interfered.
"If Opal can make any technology malfunction, then she must have blocked anyone who traces her location – even your C-Cube"
"So it seems." Artemis said.

9:00 pm
Somewhere in Haven
Somewhere in the corners of Haven, two pixies were waiting for someone to call from their communicator.
If one fairy will notice them, their first impression on them is that they looked homeless.
But they are far from homeless.
Then their communicator rang. A jet-black haired girl with lovely green eyes flashed from the communicator.
"Miss Koboi! You changed! You are now a full-fledge Mud Girl. What is your new name?" the excited male pixie said.
"My new identity is no longer important, Thor. All I have to say is that I am near from our Target." She said grinning.
"Is it time, my cousin?" the female pixie beside Thor.
Opal grinned towards her cousin. "Almost time, my dear Jade."

11: 00 pm
Fowl Manor
"Butler."
"Yes. Artemis?"
"How are the fairies?"
"Well some decided to stay awake some prefer some sleep."
"How's Juliet? Did she recover her lost memories about them?"
"Yes. And I tell you she looked terrible." Butler laughed.
Juliet shrieked when she "first" saw the fairies. Ever since after the mind wipe, she had no memory of them. So naturally, people who never expected a fairy to appear would be scared or "shriek". (A/N: well I guess you got my idea)
Juliet still looked pale but at least she remembered about them.
Suddenly, Artemis sight blurred. He was sweating and cold. His head ached.
"Artemis, you're pale!" Butler asked. He noticed that his charge paled unusually.
Artemis stood up.
"Where are you going?" Butler went towards him. Then, the door opened but he didn't care who it was.
"I need to go to sle-"his knees felt like a jelly. He couldn't walk properly. His sight blurred and whirled. Alas, his knees now longer support him. Lights swirled around him as he sank deeper in the blackness that he thought he won't wake up anymore.
Holly Short passed by when she heard
"…You're pale!" It was Butler.
Then, she heard somebody stood up. Holly went towards the study.
"Where are you going?"
This time Holly peaked in.
She saw Artemis standing but he looked unusually pale and weak.
"I need to sle-"he never had a chance to finish. He fell forward but Butler caught his shoulders. He's unconscious.
"What happened to him?" Holly asked.
Butler turned "I don't know. A while ago, he's full of energy, but now…I think he needs some rest." He stood up carrying the limp boy.
Holly looked around.
Maybe he needs some rest…But maybe there is still another reason.
Everything seems in order. Before she went on her way, she noticed the necklace with broken pendant beside Artemis' computer.
Something is not in order.
(Flashback)
Last Afternoon
"D'Arvit! How are we supposed to find her?" Holly groaned.
"Grumbling won't help, Holly" Artemis said as he inserted the C-Cube in the hard drive.
Holly sighed and looked beside his computer.
And she saw the strange necklace. It was delicate but the small pendant is broken.
Holly looked closer. The pendant's color was blue and clear like the oceans, like Artemis' eyes.
End Flashback
Holly looked closer to its pendant, making sure that her eyes weren't playing tricks on her.
It was clear but colorless.
That's odd. Maybe he had another one with different color.

Westminster, London
12:00 am
Charleston Kingsley was asleep. Everyone was asleep except his "daughter".
She was in her private room. When the digital clock struck 12, she grabbed her "cellphone" and called.
"It's time" she said.
She pushed the "end" button. She looked through her window and smiled.
x.x..x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x
Hours later
The "cellphone" rang again.
"Pauline" was waiting for this call.
"How's the plan?" she said.
"Success" said the person in the end of the line.
"Good."
"Miss. You said that you want something from your Target. Why do you really want to get his 'embroidered something'?" the voice in the end of the line asked.
She glanced at her "computer".
"You will know soon."
