Chapter 38
Artemis Fowl was still halfway confused, he remembered things and didn't at the same time, but he knew that he knew it and was responding that way. He also suspected that he had known much more, very much more.
It hadn't been to hard for him to make his escape, after all his father had forced him to train with the Butlers I order to keep him safer than his father was after the kidnapping. Now he knew much more, and he was on the loose in Haven, though, not exactly free due to the sociopath that had kidnapped him. Kidnapped him, he was supposed to e the criminal genius around here, though that man seemed to be more insane than intelligent at the moment and quite power mad as well.
His next task was to get away, he had already sent a warning to the Butlers, hoping to have some chance of an escape if anything more went wrong. He vaguely remembered getting taken, but it wasn't to clear, he remembered seeing Butler and Juliet on the ground, and suddenly a terrible thought hit him, what if they were both dead, what if they thought that he was dead as well.
He realized that his foes were much more powerful than anything he had yet gone against. It was a maddening problem, what was it that he had missed that could signify such a power.
Then his mind turned to a site he had recently hacked, a site that gave information on all kinds of things, things he didn't have time to understand before he discovered that a virus had been put on his system and was fragging his hard drive. It was almost inconceivable that something like that could have been done. He, for an instant, had now thought that it was possibly Foaly's, but nothing he had seen that had come from Haven had been so blatantly destructive, the centaur wouldn't have tried that, he would have simply severed the connection.
But he had seen words he was beginning to suspect had to do with his captor, words like psion and mystic, and a man named Archer. After he had fixed his computer, he ran a check of the name Archer as a last name and came up with quite a bit, lots of action in Iceland and Australia where he ran a scientific institution called the Archer Foundation, but that was all he could uncover that was recent, though that was just Raymond Archer, he found thousands of records referring to a Conrad Archer as well.
It was at that point when the house alarm had been triggered. It was getting on the borderlines of insanity now, he didn't know exactly what he knew, but he knew that it was something big, very, very big. Artemis was sure that he could eventually find out what was going on, but he would need to get out of this place first.
He knew he was in Haven, but he knew that those who were holding him were not fairies of any sort, they were humans, though what powers they had were still a mystery to him, he knew one of them had tried to read his mind.
The hunter was grateful for that, though a bit aggravated at the loss of privacy, as it had brought back at least part of his memory. It was time to get some vengance on his captors though as he began to work, one good thing about being a generalized genius was that he could use a lot of different things to his advantage, and he could be just as effective as a saboteur as a criminal mastermind.
