Oh in answer to your question Valerie Woods, the boy is Artemis (not to be
confused with the kid who said the thing about Mulch) sorry if that wasn't
that clear. And do to demand, I'm making my stories a little longer.
Haven City, Lower Elements
Mulch Diggums was in fact, waiting on the booking bench in the Lower Element's Police Plaza. He was indeed a tad bit nervous to be back in the proximity of the council and the chance of being put in Howler's Peak. But the dwarf trusted the note that Artemis had left to him and waited to have a gloat at Julius. His lawyer was a rather bulked up gnome who was unfortunately always muttering things behind people's backs. Were they compliments or insults? No body knew. Or rather nobody asked him. You just don't ask those kinds of topics to a 300 pound, bulked up gnome with an attitude problem. He was at the moment, glaring at the officers in the room as if daring them to ask why he was there. There was another thing Mulch noted about the creature. Phlegmbus Nodd was once the most notorious escapee from the Plaza. He had hidden a bottle of rock polish, several sticks of dynamite, and a dozen cans of smoke bombs when he was arrested. It was quite a show. If the council had not pardoned his 'little act' for special services to the People, it would have been over for Nodd, and where would Mulch be then? It had been the third month that the convicts had visited the building and they were getting antsy. Or rather Phelgmbus was. And on the second month Mulch almost had assault to a police officer added to his list of crimes. Fortunately, Nodd had looked at the officer straight in the eye and the poor soul packed his bags and moved out of Haven. There was a rumor going around that he was currently in a fairy fort in Africa. But back to Mulch. Commander Julius Root had seen better days. He had finally got Diggums into the spot he wanted him to be and what does the thief do? He slips out through a hole. It was the Commander's last chance to get Mulch and he wasn't letting go that easily. "Convict! Get in here!" Mulch sighed and walked in. "Apparently we have to do the court thing one more time." Said Root, "And you'll be free to go. Or not. And I'm voting for the latter. Now get your overbuilt friend in here." Mulch looked heavenward or to the dirt ceiling above him as it would be underground. It was going to be a long day.
Fowl Manor
Holly Short stirred. She had had a terrible nightmare that Butler had shot her again with a tranquilizer. She blinked and sat up. She was in a dwelling and not just any dwelling either. She was in Fowl Manor. This would mean two things: 1. she was indeed captured again. And 2. If she stayed any longer Artemis and Butler might get their memories back. She looked for the Neutrino2000 that she always used on the above ground missions. In this case, making sure Fowl did not get his memories back. She groaned. Root would have her badge for sure. Not only had she been captured which probably would lead to Artemis becoming public enemy number 1 again, she had lost fairy technology to him AGAIN. 'Oh well if I don't give him his memories, the weaponry will.' She thought.
Artemis was tinkering with the fairy weapons thinking of how to get the rest of the snoops. He was also thinking of how to find out why they were spying on him and the house. Fortunately for Holly's sake he had not noticed anything yet. Butler was at his side staring at the cameras. The thing whatever it was was not human. But yet so close to human figure is was oddly creepy. "I'm going to check on the prisoner Artemis." "Fine Butler, but be on your toes. This technology is far superior to ours. Who knows what else they have managed to smuggle into the mansion undetected?" "Yes, Artemis." Artemis watched him leave. The screen showed the figure stirring or was that distortion? There was something so oddly familiar about that figure it was disturbing. He shook himself. It wasn't the time to shiver, it was the time to plan and he planned on making the people who had tricked him pay.
