"Two problems? I've only got one, so you've got one, too!?" Artemis said, realizing that this was worse than he had thought. "Fine, you go first, I'l go after you."
"Alright, but please, sit, you're going to need to." Holly replied, dreading Artemis' reaction.
Artemis sat reluctantly and awaited her bad news. Whatever it is, it can't have that much impact over the whole plan, certainly not more that mine, Artemis told himself, even though it was really only wishful thinking on his part. Of course, his wishful thinking was not enough, and did not come through, as this was much worse.
"Artemis, please don't be mad at me, or take it out on me," Holly began, maybe then he wouldn't kill her, "Umm, wowsers this is hard. When I met with Jon Spiro today, he had a partner, actually, who he said to be his best friend, with him."
Artemis nodded, so far, it was making sense, but he knew that Holly knew more than she wanted to tell him, so he gestured for her to keep going and stated accusingly, "Continue, I'm interested."
"His friend, his partner, was... No, is someone you know very well. Artemis Jon's partner, was your father, Artemis Sr. I'm sorry." Holly stuttered.
No one spoke for almost 10 minutes. Holly could tell that Artemis' emotions were a complete mix of sadness and confusion. She wished so hard that she could do something.
Artemis was the first to break the silence, "Yes, well, I had thought him to be lying to mother when he said that he was leaving for France for a couple of weeks so that doctors could run some tests on him. I knew it was something illegal, and that he would never give it up for good." Artemis sighed and resumed speaking, " Anyway, I never thought that he'd team up with Jon Spiro. What exactly did they say?"
Holly spoke in a hushed voice, "He introduced himself, and Artemis Senior, I stalled, and there was this other little part you might be interested in..."
"What part would that be?" Juliet cut in. She was especially interested in this particular conversation.
"Then Spiro said something like, ' Tell Arty that myself and Artemis the first say hello`. And then you beeped me. Artemis, they know that I am working with you, and they knew that you were there." Holly finished. "Oh, and where's Mulch? I thought you were getting him."
"I was, and that's my bad news, not as bad as yours, but still not good. Mulch is not there, his tracker was, though, and that means that he's pulled the same trick on the LEP twice." Artemis snapped back at her. He was not in the mood for people to argue with him at the moment.
"How'd the lunch go with Jon and my father?" Artemis asked, as though he needed to!
"Good, but neither Jon, nor your father would eat anything. Strange, isn't it?" Holly answered thoughtfully.
"I will never understand some people... How can they not eat?" Artemis replied, making a gagging sign.
"And we're hearing this from the stick?"
"Hey, you shouldn't be talking, it takes one to know one." Artemis shot back, trying to look offended.
" Enough you two! Alright, so now we have Artemis' dad working for our arch- nemesis, a troll on the run, and our best two on the job are arguing. Great! This is just great." Foaly complained.
"When you come up with a plan, can I please do something Artemis? I really want to help." Butler asked quietly.
"I'm afraid that would be irresponsible of me, and I cannot let you get hurt again, old friend. Sorry, but you can't come along." Artemis sighed, he felt badly about not bringing Domovoi, but he couldn't.
"I understand." Butler replied sadly.
"Alright, well, there isn't much that any of us can do about either," Artemis paused for a moment to think of the right word, "detail... So I'll come up with another plan, and run it by you tomorrow, okay?"
"Sure." Everyone said at once.
"Well, I guess we're done for now." Root finished and Foaly escorted the mud people out of Haven.

Artemis was slightly confused that night, because his father called him into his study, just to talk. He knew what it would be about, but he would have thought that his father would not want to talk to him. Oh well, he thought and crept over to the study.
"Father, you wanted to see me?"
"Yes. I'm glad, though a little surprised that you came."
"Likewise." Artemis II answered honestly.
I guess I won't hide it from him, Artemis Senior thought to himself, he obviously got the message from whomever his friend was, because I'm sure her name wasn't Holland Fowler.
"Enjoy your day?" Artemis the first asked pleasantly.
"Actually, as I'm sure you already know, the day's events quite interested me, but I do have questions about them, if you don't mind filling in the blanks for me." Artemis the Second said, challenging him to give him information
"Not at all, though the feeling is mutual." Artemis Sr. snapped at his son.
"Well, your medical testing in France must have gone well, seeing as you obviously got out a little early, hmm?" Artemis Jr. tried to weasel information out of his father.
"No. I think you know that very well. I'll explain something to you Arty, I met Jon Spiro in College. We were room mates, and best friends, both of us had common goals. Money, gold, and power. I also met your mother in college. Spiro moved to the USA, and I stayed in Ireland. Your mother and I got married. Shortly after, I became obsessed with money making, and my favorite substance, gold. We had you, and Jon and I met up again. We started planning together. Then I went away, and the whole thing with the mafia, and the Fowl Star, and you, all that happened. Now we're here. And Spiro and I are not giving it up again just for Angeline So, I have decided to... I like the term, put it one way, and then do it another."
"Alright, I think I'm understanding. Is it alright for me to try to stand in your way?"
"Of course, I've always loved a... Challenge." Artemis senior agreed.
With that, Artemis Junior left the room, and he had to say, he was quite flustered by what he had heard. His father, lying to his mother? Room mates? What were they planning? He had just enough info. To make a revised plan. Artemis smiled devilishly as he wandered to his bedroom.
