Artemis Fowl Surprise Attack chapter 10

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

"Kill him tonight." Spiro ordered Artemis the first.

"What? Who?" Artemis I stalled.

"Who do you think I mean? Your son of course! We need him dead, and you are to do it."

"How? Why?" Artemis sr. asked, hoping it was a sick joke.

"Why, because he is the only person on the planet that can stop us from executing our master plan, and do you think I care how you do it? Poison him, slit his throat, stab a dagger into him, shoot him! You choose, just get it done." Jon Spiro was losing his temper, and it was apparent.

"Tonight? You want me to kill my own son?" Artemis sr. fought back his arguing brain. Half of him wanted to do it, and the other half knew that he couldn't.

"Oh, get a spine, man! Just kill him, don't worry, once he's out of the way, you'll be glad that you did."

"Tonight? I'm to kill my son tonight? What?"

"Yes, tonight. Any problem with that?"

As much as Artemis Fowl Senior would have wanted to say yes, he knew that he could not betray his partner, and best friend, no matter what the stakes, even his own son.

"No, not at all. Hopefully everything will go according to plan." Artemis the first sighed.

"It will go according to plan, unless you screw up, which you're not going to do, are you?" Spiro eyed him intently, as if daring him to say yes.

"No, Jon. Everything will be fine."

"Do you have the access codes?" Jon looked at him curiously.

"No! Of course not, I can't get them, you can't get them, no one can get them, it's impossible to crack those encryptions, and it's even more impossible to crack Artemis jr." Artemis I protested. He quite honestly did not want to give the codes to Arty's computer and bank accounts to Jon.

"Very well, we will proceed without them. I can't wait to execute the master plan. We will have the world as our fortress."

Yes. It is only too bad that as it stands, Artemis II may not be able to share that with me, Artemis the first thought to him self.

Mulch was quite happy. The LEP had believed him in the tracker switch for the second time, and Artemis hadn't bugged him about leaving once. He knew that sooner or later, they would catch on.

Mulch saw a jet plane that he recognized as being the Fowl's landing right outside his cottage/ hut type thing. Sooner, he reasoned with himself, and went outside to greet them. He wondered if Juliet would be with them that would make all the difference.

Artemis, Juliet, and Holly were the only three that got off the plane, but Mulch assumed that there were more inside the private jet. He was wrong, which actually came as quite a pleasant surprise.

Holly looked at Artemis for a moment, and he nodded Holly then spoke, obviously still not being awake enough to use full sentences," In the jet... We'll explain in there... Now!"

"Yes madam." Mulch replied, shooting Holly the hairy eyeball, then he strode into the private plane.

It was honestly even nicer then it had been 4 1/2 months ago. Now, not only was the trim of the top pure, 24-karat gold, but the armrests were, too. And, instead of carpeted flooring, it was not furnished with clean, white marble. The jet it's self looked like a palace.

"So, why'd you call me this time? Need more help? Besides mental, I mean, Artemis is the guy to ask for the kind of help you need, psychological." Mulch asked Holly, smirking slightly.

"Shut-up Convict." Holly retorted.

Even Artemis had to laugh at that, it wasn't every day that Holly got insulted like that, and left the person to live. He agreed, though, because at 6:00 AM Holly really did need mental help. Juliet was rolling over laughing, and she and Mulch were so buddy-buddy, it was almost scary!

"Alright, Mulch, now yes, we do need your help, so listen closely, okay?" Juliet began.

"Okie-Dokie."

"Good. We'll fill you in on the details later; all you need to know now is that we need you to tunnel underground. This is our most important mission yet, so you've gotta work with us." Juliet finished.

"Okay, let's go." Holly interrupted.
