Artemis Fowl: Surprise Attack chapter 9

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

___ LEP HQ___

Artemis, Holly, and Juliet loaded their equipment into the Fowl's private jet, and when they were done they said their good-byes.

" Everyone got what they're supposed to do?" Artemis rechecked for the 4th time that day.

"Yes, we have all memorized the plan, but I do want to ask your permission on something, okay? Actually, it's more of a consent if you will." Domovoi tried his luck at easing into the question.

"Well, what is it?" Artemis asked curiously, he knew that this would be interesting, but he didn't know just how interesting

"Well... You won't like it... But, uh, I think I have a bit of unfinished business, if I can complete it while you're gone." Butler hoped that Artemis didn't question him any further, because he didn't exactly want to tell him what it was that he had to do.

"What is it, then?"

"I was hoping you wouldn't ask that question."

"But I did, and I am still awaiting a truthful answer, if you don't mind." Artemis grinned, he knew that Butler didn't want to tell him, but alas, he couldn't help asking.

"If you must ask, I will tell you that you probably won't like it." Butler warned him, thinking that this would turn Artemis off of the question.

"Have I ever been one to back off?" Artemis asked pointedly.

"No, sir, I can't say you have. I never quite heard Blunt's confession, so, I'm going to keep my promise to him, and kill him Simple as that."

"No, no, no! I will not let you go, I don't care what I have to do, I will get you to stay right here!" Artemis tried to maintain his complexion, but so far he was failing.

"I expected as much, but I am going no matter what you say. I just thought you might want to know." Butler replied looking dead at Artemis with his merciless eyes.

Artemis caught Butler's glance and shivered. He knew that there was no stopping Butler from doing this, and that he was backed up 200 percent by everyone else. Artemis sighed. He knew that he couldn't deny Butler of this. He only hoped that Butler's last words to him weren't 'I'll see you when I get back`.

"Be careful, old friend. I can't deal with you dieing... Again, Domovoi." Came Artemis' saddened reply.

"Thank you master Fowl! I promise, I'll do it quickly, Foaly has already set it to fool the cameras and everything! I called Sid Commons earlier and told him that I'd be there around 11:30, it's 11:00 now, so I really must be leaving. I'll see you when I get back."

"Yes. Take care of yourself old friend."

Butler nodded, and then got in the Bentley and sped down the road. In about 30 minutes he arrived in Heathrow. Sid Commons was there waiting for him, as he had promised he would be.

"Alright, should I bother asking why you needed to come here?" Said a partially confused Sid Commons.

"No, you won't want to know. Where is he?"

"Down here. Come on." Sid led Butler down a long hall, and into a large room. It was a different room than before, but it was still the same looking.

"I'll go get you a visitors badge if you're staying." Sid said, and walyed away.

As soon as he left Butler grabbed the cam foil out from his pack and placed it over himself. Foaly set to work fooling the cameras. Butler stepped into the room, just as he had 4 months ago.

This time Arno Blunt was a little worried this time around, though. The door opened, and closed again, just as it had done 4 months ago. It had been 4 months, and he had refused to confess, and for one of the first times in his life, he was scared.

"Blunt," A voice seemingly out of nowhere called, " You did not confess, now I shall keep my promise to you."

Truth was that Butler almost chocked trying to hold back laughter, but Blunt was too scared to notice.

"This will be quick, and easy, just don't fight me." Butler added, then took off the cam foil.

POW! Butler shot Blunt once in the heart, and to make sure he was dead he snapped his backbone literally in half! Blood spilled everywhere, and you could see Blunt's insides. It was not pretty. Butler hoped that Foaly was as good as he says he is.

Satisfaction flowed over Butler, and Foaly's voice came over his earpiece "Well done. Now, just so you know, I made it look suicidal. I wiped your image from the video feed, and made it look like Blunt just flipped out and wrung his own neck. The Bullet was made especially for this, so it should have mopped up all the blood, and then disintegrated, and the magic sparks should have mended his backbone, to make it look realistic."

"Good. I don't want to be caught."

Moments later Sid Commons came back in, and was astonished at the sight of Arno Blunt... Dead! Butler told him that he couldn't stay because Artemis was expecting him back, and he thanked Sid for letting him come.

___Back at the Manor___

Back at Fowl Manor, Artemis was worried. Holly, Juliet, and himself had gotten back almost an hour ago, and Butler still wasn't home. It was very unlike him.

Artemis decided to turn on the news, and watch a bit until Butler got home. It was pretty mush the same old stuff, boring. Until the last station showed something that finally both interested, and astonished him! He needed Domovoi home, and fast, so that he could tell him. This was bad!
