Chapter 3: Again?

"Foaly," the surprised Captain Short yelled into the microphone. "FOALY! IN MY OFFICE NOW! I NEED—" the communication was shut down.

Foaly plastered a worried look on his face. "What is it Captain?" he asked.

"Another one bites the dust," breathed Holly.

"Ever since the first one, Fowl posted it on the net," she spluttered unintelligibly, eyes flashing dangerously gold.

Foaly's eyes were darker than usual. "The same plan, again?"

Holly responded, "I guess."



Meanwhile back at the 'restaurant,' Butler and Artemis played around with the fairy's communicator and such. Breaking it and then figuring out the technology. Another patent to add to the money bank.

Gun, communicator, eye camera, locator, translator. All were pictured and were stored onto 12 computers and disks simultaneously around the world. Millions of dollars worth of patents.

"Artemis… why would the fairies need a translator, don't they have a gift for languages?" asked Butler.

"New languages have been added and fairies have not been able to keep up with them, just yesterday the isle of Regrulater was found. Remember? They spoke a brand new language. I suppose it was easier to do this than to learn the new languages."

"That doesn't really make sense," replied Butler.

"I know."



"This doesn't make any sense. Call him. Fowl Manor," she called. A small computer wheeled to her desk.
