Disclaimer: Sorry, I forgot this in the past 2 chapters. Well, here goes. I
own nothing with the exception of the plot.
Author's Note: Thank you all for the reviews, I have received a review complaining about short chapters. I am sorry. It is just that I don't have much time, but I will try to lengthen my chapters, anyway, PLEASE read and review!
Chapter 3: One little break goes a long way. Police Plaza, Haven City. Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon sighed deeply, drinking a cool smoothie on her hoverchair in the lounge room of the Headquarters. Suddenly a face appeared on the briefing screen, the plasma computer crackled and sparks flew out at the sudden turn-on. Holly almost dropped her drink. "Surprised you with my handsome face, didn't I?" Chuckled a certain annoying centaur on the plasma screen. "Yes, you did," Replied Holly in a voice of sarcasm, "I wonder how long this computer can stand broadcasting your beautiful face on its screen." Foaly chuckled again, only to annoy the elf captain even more. "Holly, you've been summoned to the operation room for.. Business." Foaly said with a crooning voice." "I'm coming." She replied. Holly made her way though several annoying pixies that talks in high, squeaky voices. 'You name is Holly Short, right?' 'Right.' 'You may enter, and anyway we think that you should cut your hair.'. She ignored them, if you can call 'ignore' a punch on the nose. The door of the operation room slid open. There were only two people: commander Root and Foaly. "Well, Short, we have some news for you." Growled Root, puffing on another of his infamous cigars. Not that he was angry; the growls are just his real voice. "Good news or bad news?" Enquired the captain, who was half suffocating to death in the smoke of Root's cigar in the tiny room. "Both," The commander replied simply, "the bad news: Mulch Diggums has escaped," ignoring his officer's sharp breath and cough, he continued, "the good news: you have earned yourself a two day break.". Holly almost cried out in joy. Okay, a two-day break isn't a really big thing, to you maybe, but to a LEP officer, a break means that the commander favors you and your rank is going to go up like the Himalayas, but considering that Holly is a captain already, and Root is definitely not going to make her commander, she is going to be Root's personal lieutenant. The only rank above captain and below commander.
"I will be expecting you back in two days," Root's voice cutting though her daydream, which was about going on a dangerous assignment with the latest gear, "if you are not back, expect to be holding the traffic." The threat was, however, incredibly hollow, that one may encouraged to be late. An alarm rang, and several corporals rush though the halls to attend night-duty. Root stood up. "I have an important meeting with the council, Short, so here you are." He threw a rolled-up piece of paper to Holly. Holly unrolled it and read it briefly. It seemed to be about her new privileges and her pay rise. Not bad for 5 years of captain duties. 10 ounces of fairy silver every week, bonus gold for missions. Not bad at all.
A.N: Sorry for the late update, as I said before, I am very busy. The next chap will be up soon, and I AM NOT UPDATING TILL I GET 3 MORE REVIEWS!!! I was meaning to put how Holly meets Artemis again, but it wont fit in this Microsoft Word page!! This chapter is supposed to be called 'Oh boy, Mud Boy', but there is no mud boy in here, so that will be the next chap's title, see you later!
