Wrong Place at the Right Time
Disclaimer: I do not own Artemis Fowl and its characters Chapter Four: Getting a step closer
Root was amazed for the umpteenth time at the audacity of his subordinate, meaning Foaly.
How dare he ask for help without consulting him? He would have his acorns for just that minor offence, but he knew that at this point of time, Foaly was needed badly. The thing that infuriated him the most was that D'arvit Fowl boy! He had a hunch that he had something to do with this. But why would he do such a thing, and kidnap the same Recon officer twice? That he had no answers to. But it seemed strange, that boy would already have contacted Recon to boast about his achievement, but he didn't. Besides that, Fowl hasn't bothered the People after getting what he wanted. Much as he doesn't want to admit, the reasoning proved otherwise that Artemis was innocent. But he was the only likely suspect, and they needed solid evidence to bring him down.
Root sat back on his chair, when he suddenly felt a tingling sensation travel his body. Uh-oh, this isn't good. It was that feeling again, fairy intuition. Suddenly, a single name appeared in his brain. They were dealing with something or someone more dangerous and cunning. And Holly was in deep danger. He rushed out of his office and down to Foaly's quarters. He knew who it was. Unbelievable though..
"Foaly!" he blared out loudly, barging right through his subordinate's door. Unfortunately, the poor centaur was just behind it and the both of them collided and fell heavily to the floor. "Ok, ok! So I did not have your approval, and deserves severe punishment, but a body-slam by you really takes the straw!" Foaly shrieked. "Now get off me!" With a great haul, he pushed the overweight commander off him. "Fine, I'm sorry. Don't make me say it again. I figured out who could it be. Run a rain check on our old friend Briar Cudegeon. I have a feeling its about time to pay him a visit."
"Cudegeon? Isn't he.."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Artemis felt a bead of sweat roll down his pale face lazily, only to be illuminated by the still glow of the computer. Hours after hours have passed as he tried to crack a clue about Holly's location. Nothing. He leant back on his cushy swivel chair, feeling a fleeting sense of failure. Referring to the Book for clues, he had came across an interesting paragraph.
"Thy powers gather wild and strong, Magical fusion to be cold and warm, Threefold, fourfold magick increased, A price to pay and sacrifice in need."
He had searched everything and everywhere possible; running heat-sensors over Tara, urban locations, even his own house, just in case. He paused for a while, his genius brain calculating what could ever escape the sensors. "Its extreme hotness or coldness.that's it!" He bent over and began typing like a possessed man. "Gotcha!" he muttered in triumph. There was disturbance in an deep underwater active volcano, near Ghana in the Mediterranean sea. He sent a direct email to Foaly, and arranged to meet at his house the next following night.
"Don't worry Holly, I'm coming."
JuNa's NoTe: Sorry for the really short chapter, and for making you guys wait for a millennia. I had to update myself, as I kinda forgot how the plot of the Arctic incident was like. Thanks for the reviews, it really meant a lot to me.*sobz* Anyway, I'll make it up in the next few chapter.expect lots of gore though. Take care and bye!
