A/N: Here it is, the next chapter! Two chapters in one day! I'm great!

Disclaimer: I'm only saying it once, I don't own Artemis Fowl or any of it's characters, nor do I own the .50 Desert Eagle that is one of Artemis's new best friends.

Chapter 2: Oh Shit!

"Ah, the LEP, come in, make yourselves at home, and please tell me, what's my crime this time?" Artemis said, clutching his bleeding shoulder.

"Nothing Mud Boy, but Commander Root wants to see you about something, he says you might want to come down and check it out." Trouble said, Artemis recognized the voice from the Arctic Incident. He met him briefly down in Haven after they had gotten out of Koboi Labs.

"Ah, you are Captain Kelp right? Nice to see you again, how are things down in Haven?" Artemis said.

"Yes I am Captain Kelp, and things in Haven are just peachy now come along before I Commander Root blows his top." Trouble said.

"I might as well, Butler, come along then, let's see what our fairy friends want to show us." Artemis said.

"Hold on. We have to put you to sleep first." Trouble said.

"Is that really necessary?" Artemis asked.

"Yes, it's part of the rules."

"I can keep a secret. After all, you don't have Mud People storming Haven right now do you?"

"The Council doesn't trust you."

"Haven't I been a good boy since the, errr, kidnapping?"

"Apparently not, now be quiet and sleep." Trouble said layering the last part with the mesmer.

THUD. SMASH!

Butler and Artemis fell to the floor, they had given in to the mesmer immediately seeing as that was the only way they would be allowed to go to Haven. The rest of Retrieval 1 rushed in and picked them up. Turning on there Hummingbird Z8's, the newest Hummingbird model. Fast as lightning, quiet as a blade of grass in a ligh breeze. It responded to the slightest touch and moved as gracefully through the air as a bird of prey. Basically it was top of the line. They flew them over to the McGraney's farm to the shuttleport where they carried the two into a large shuttle made for comfort.

*LEP HQ's, Haven; 11:06*

Artemis opened his eyes and wasn't to surprised to see Foaly and Root looking down at him. Root was pink in the face, which was unusual for Root, that was pale for Root, usually he was red in the face with a throbbing vein near his temple. 'Something bad must be happening.' Artemis thought. Foaly didn't look good either, Artemis decided to find out what was wrong. He looked around first and seemed to be in a waiting room at a hospital, fairy hospital anyways.

"What's wrong, why am I here?" Artemis said.

"Fowl, I think you should see this yourself." Root said grimly.

"Just brace yourself kid." Foaly said, equally grim.

"Go through that door and you'll see." Root said and pointer at a door that looked similar to all the others. It had a sign on it that said 'Room A395682', but the ones next to it said 'Room C39574' and 'Room R4768398'.

"My lord! Don't you fairies have any organizational skills!" Artemis said.

"We do it to make it hard for enemies to get what they want." Root said matter-of-factly.

"Yes, but it's hard for you to." Artemis replied.

"The boys got a point." Foaly pointed out.

"Just go to the room D'arvit!" Root howled, regaining his normal complexion.

"Okay, don't burst a vein." Artemis said and went to the room. He went in and closed the door behing him. What he saw horrified him. It was Holly, but she had a large bruise across her abdomen and a black eye, Artemis felt a bit shameful seeing as Holly was wearing no top, but she had a thick set of bandage wrapped around her chest. She had a cast on her right arm. Blue sparks were playing over the wounds. 'Hospital stays must be short.' Artemis thought. Short. Hah. Artemis made a small laugh in his head. He felt on the verge of tears, Holly was one of the few friends he actually had. They never said it, but he knew it. Foaly and Root too. And Butler of course.

Artemis slowly walked over to Holly, and kneeled down onto his knees and looked at Holly. He wanted to hold her hand, but he couldn't, otherwise the flow of magic would be diverted to him and Holly needed every little spark. He heard Holly moan something out. She moaned again, louder this time, he could almost make it out.

"Artemis..." Holly moaned out, he understood this time.

"It's okay Holly, I'm right here, don't worry." Artemis said. The wounds were getting smaller, the sparks were still going at it. Artemis just realized that when he walked in that the wounds were severe. Just how bad was it! What happened! Holly cracked her eyes open a bit and saw her surroundings and then Artemis. She made a small smile.

"Hi Fowl, you came to see little old me huh?" Holly said, her voice sounded kind of scratchy.

"Yeah, I came, and you are correct in the description of yourself, you are both little and old." Artemis said. The bruise on her abdomen was gone, her black eye almost healed, Holly noticed her lack of clothing just then.

*Outside Room A395682, Haven; 11:10*

"PERVERTED MUD BOY!" a voice shrieked.

SMACK!

"ARRGGH!" a male voice that could only be Artemis yelled.

BOOM!

"YOWW!" Artemis howled.

THUD!

"DAMN, THAT HURTS! OH SHIIIITT!" Aremis howled out.

SMASH!

"What the Hell was that?" Foaly asked.

"I dunno but it sounds good." Root smirked at that.

"Oh no! Artemis could be hurt!" Butler yelled.

"Oh. That's not good." Foaly said sincerely, bad enough with Holly hurt, they didn't need Artemis in Intensive Care too. And by the sounds of it, he very well could be.

"Oh god! What've I done! Oh! Artemis! Are you okay! I didn't mean for that to happen!" Holly shrieked. The only response was groaning.

"OH SHIT!" someone yelled from outside the building. Large explosions and smashing noises followed it.

"TROLLS! RUN FOR IT! LEP! LEP! WE NEED THE LEP!" they heard.

A/N: So how was it? Was it good, was it bad? Tell me! Review!
