The weakness of a criminal mastermind
Faze 2
Florence, Italy
Butler chortled as he walked in on what seemed to be a glaring contest between his charge and the sun.
"It's too bright" He complained without looking away from the window.
"Not enjoying Italy then?" The massive manservant smirked at her charge who scowled in return.
"Progress?" He asked with a perfectly arched brow.
"Snow white is doing well" "Not well enough" Artemis grumbled "Evil Queen possibly sighted" At this Artemis looked elated
"Ooh really? This should be fun then"
Butler sighed the code they had come up with was painfully obvious, he knew it was just taunting the fairy people into action.
I'm honestly surprised the cameras didn't anger him, Artemis has always been such a private person…
"So where next?" Artemis asked and Butler smirked
"Spain I think, since it's turned up empty here" Butler bluffed, to confuse Holly even more. Artemis sighed witheringly
"Don't worry, Fowls always get what they want"
With Holly earlier that day
Holly perched lithely on the top of a particularly vicious stone gargoyle and scowled.
"That mud man is leading me on a wild goose chase!" She whispered into her helmet even though it was soundproof.
"No one said this was gonna be easy" Foaly responded
"Che, yea yea"
"This really only goes to prove that they know about the cameras" Foaly ground out.
"I'm worried about those sunglasses" Holly said, reminded of the sunglasses that Butler had used to see and effectively wipe out an entire squad.
"It's blazing hot, he has an excuse to wear sunglasses… I wouldn't expect anything less from the mud boy to keep even the location perfect" Foaly said with a little too much admiration in his voice for Hollys liking.
"Focus Centaur"
"I am focusing, you're the one that's let Butler get away"
"D'arvit!" Holly swore and went off to chase her target again.
Somewhere, I swear that mud boy's laughing his sadistic little head off
She couldn't have been more wrong as at that very moment, said mud boy was sipping earl grey tea in a fruitless attempt to drown out his boredom.

Sorry for the wait and short chapter, I think I may be experiencing writers block T-T
