Chapter 9
"Blaze, Blaze come in!" the comms chirped angrily as he had achieved liftoff.
"Damn it Two," he grunted, "Can't you just leave me alone, I'm not a part of the Foundation anymore."
"Well," he heard the man say calmly, "Fade asked me to get you to do something for us, and there is a benefit for you."
"I'm listening," he said as he sealed the rear cabin.
"We have located one of those blades you are so interested in, you recruit and help train someone, and you'll have the sword before the day is over."
"Who is this someone?"
"His name is Artemis Fowl," Two said without hesitating, "A junior I believe, your current flight path will take you near his place of residence enrout to your home."
"Alright," he said groaning, they had found a way to hook him back into the mess he'd barely gotten out of, "I'll try, but I don't plan on working my hardest on this one."
"After that little firefight yesterday," Two said coldly, "You will."
With that, the line went dead.
"Well," he said dreamily as he punched new coordinates into the autopilot, "That certainly was interesting."
Anton shrugged as he climbed to his feet, the autopilot would keep them on target, he wasn't risking anything with Holly, especially after that glare she gave him when he said to strap in. Throttling up would be very bad for his health with that look.
"Time to warn the passengers that we have one more to add to our list," he mumbled as he walked back through the cockpit and into the passenger cabin
"When we land," he said calmly, "Hide, I got an assignment about a minute ago to make a recruitment pickup."
"What?" Holly managed to say as all eyes went to the corpse.
"I have to pickup two people and take them back to my place to get them trained in what I do," he said, seeming to drone on and on, he was annoyed, that much was plainly visible on his face.
"Could you tell us who?" Grub asked quietly from the back of the cabin, he looked a little sick about the body.
"Someone named Fowl and his bodyguard."
All three fairies jaws dropped to the floor.
