Chapter 10: Jack wants to come

The trio arrived at Section 8 in exactly 10 minutes.

Foaly looked at his watch. "10 minutes exactly, I'm impressed Artemis."

Then Mulch, Butler and Jack came up behind him.

"Jeez, it's weird. You two girls look like you didn't sleep at all but Artemis looks like he slept for a month. What gives?" asked Mulch.

Actually Butler, Jack and Foaly had been thinking the same thing but left it to Mulch to get the thought into the open.

Holly shrugged, "I asked Artemis the same question. He said that he just slept well. I, on the other hand, am very tired. I'd forgotten how tiring these saving the world things are."

Jack placed a hand on her shoulder. "Well you look good." He said causing Artemis to scowl blackly.

"Sorry to break things up but I believe we have something to do?" Artemis said.

Foaly nodded, "You're right Artemis. I started the fake gold making process last night or this morning so it should be ready by now."

They all followed Foaly into a room. In it was a huge amount of gold that looked real enough to be...well real.

"Amazing. Good job, Foaly." Said Artemis. "Now how are we going to get all this...er...gold to the edge of town?"

"Don't worry." Said Foaly. "We have a special vehicle to transport heavy things."

Butler interrupted, "Sorry to interrupt but I think it's time to decide who's going."

"I think it's down to the old team." Holly said, "Which is me, Artemis, Butler, Juliet and Mulch."

"What about me?" Jack said. "I'd like to help too."

The "old team" looked at each other.

"I don't know, Jack, it could be dangerous." Juliet said.

"But you and Holly are going."

"Yes but we're fully trained." Juliet said.

"What about Artemis? He's defiantly not fully trained, yet he's going." Jack protested.

Artemis scowled though he knew it was perfectly true. "I have experience saving the world..." Artemis started.

Jack scowled in spooky imitation of Artemis. "I want to come, you might need me."

Holly shrugged, "I guess we could take you, what have we got to lose?"

Of course everyone except Artemis knew that they could lose their lives.

The vehicle that was to transport the 'gold' was a marvel. Even Artemis was impressed. It was sleek and not that big but it looked sturdy enough to support a couple of elephants. It was called the Carrier. Foaly would drive the Carrier from Section 8 and the rest of the team would follow in a car.

"Are you ready?" Artemis asked Holly.

"Yes, but I can't help thinking how dangerous this plan is."

"Don't worry, everything will come out all right." Artemis said looking at the back of the car.

Jack, Butler, Juliet and Mulch were squeezed in the back. Artemis couldn't hold back a smirk when he saw his cousin have to sit next to Mulch.

"What are you smirking at, Artemis?" Holly asked looking back.

Artemis sat up straight, "Nothing, Holly. I think we can go now."

She frowned a bit but then turned to the road and started to follow the Carrier.

Half an hour later they were close enough to the warehouse to see the Carrier go in the door. Foaly had put tracking spray on all of the 'gold' ingots. All the occupants of the car had to do now was wait.

The car they were in had been created by Foaly to be completely invisible to cameras and the human eye.

Five minutes later a movement caught Butler's eye. He whispered something to Mulch who walked up to the front of the car.

"Butler saw a truck go in the warehouse." He said quietly. The car might have been invisible but it wasn't sound proof. Foaly hadn't had time to install the sound proofing yet.

Holly put on her helmet and activated zoom to where Mulch was pointing.

"I see something." She said. "Looks like the truck is dragging the Carrier behind it."

Artemis picked up the fairy communicator and called the other communicator. Foaly picked up.

"Can you send through the tracking spray's location now?" Artemis asked.

"Sure." Foaly said sending the tracking spray's locations to the car's computer.

"Alright, Holly. Go!" Artemis said.
