Disclaimer~ I don own nuthin'.

Authoress note~ Hey Everyone, sorry this took so long, but I had a lot of homework this week! LOL! Anyway, some of you were a bit confused, so I'll tell you the series of events so far, okay?

First, grub is killed, Mulch was suspected to be behind it, and they suspected him of partnering with Jon Spiro. Arty (sorry, I love calling him that) has a plan, and it all goes wrong, because it turns out that Mulch is missing, that Mulch had nothing to do with it, and that his dad is really the one threatening the fairies, along with Jon Spiro, and his father "explained" it to him, and everything he said to Artemis were lies.

Artemis Fowl: Surprise Attack chapter 8

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

___ LEP HQ___

"Alright, so, do you have a plan or not, genius boy?" Holly retorted at Artemis.

This question caught Artemis off guard, and it almost surprised him to know how little she knew him. "Have I ever not had a plan?" he asked coolly, allowing a small smirk to play on his lips.

"No. The question was both stupid, and rhetorical." Root answered for Holly, sensing her frustration level at 4:00 in the morning.

"Are Foaly and me the only relevant adults here?" Domovoi asked looking over at Foaly, who was nodding his agreement

"Yes, I believe we are." Foaly agreed happily, anticipating Artemis' reaction.

"Yes, well, just because you're old doesn't mean you're at all wise." Artemis shot back testily. Then he added, "Well, you are smart. But just because you are calling me a child, which, actually, I am, does not mean that I can not equal your intelligence."

"Can we get on with this?" Commander Root roared as to stop the conversation, which was both boring, and confusing him.

"Sure." Holly replied grouchily, because normally she would still be asleep, thank you Artemis Fowl, you've officially messed up everything, well, I'll never call you Arty in my thoughts again, she thought, "Just, please tell us the plan, we don't have all day."

"Fine, hold your horses," Artemis began, but stopped for a second to laugh at Julius, who had just grabbed hold of Foaly, and everyone else had broken out laughing, " Hypothetically speaking. I was getting to that, you know."

"Alright, well, let us in on it, please? We're not getting any younger here!" Foaly smirked, before Holly could get a chance to word it differently. Badly. Swearing.

Everyone huddled in the far corner and Artemis whispered his plan to the group. Everyone agreed with the plan, and in 30 minutes, they were all done with planning.

"Alright, what did you hear from your dad?" Holly asked, her voice softened a bit.

"Enough to know that it was all lies. All I know for sure is that there's more to this than I'm supposed to know."

"Wow, well, there's some great facts! Now we know a lot! But what we need to do is find Mulch. And with no locator, that shouldn't be too hard!" Root added sarcastically.

"Actually, I just ran an Internet search, and I do believe we've found our man!" Foaly beamed, he was so proud of his technology.

"Really? What new name is he going by?" Juliet asked, now that Mulch was a factor in this, she was all ears!

"Get this, he's going by the name of Mooch Diggen. He's hiding out in Australia, and he's been stealing people's valuables. Before that he was in the united states for about 10 minutes, talking to his attorney. Let's go get him."

"Alright, we'll go." Artemis said, motioning to Butler and Juliet in the far corner of the room. " Holly will come with us."

"Why?" Holly asked.

"In case we need backup."

"Fine, let's go." Holly replied grudgingly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Alright, plz review!
