Disclaimer ~ what again??? I DON'T OWN ARTEMIS FOWL!!
Chapter eleven ~ A New Plan
Artemis had never been a person to mope, since the discovery of his father's body he had hacked into the autopsy report on the government files. His father had been shot twice and then thrown into the river. The one thing that still bothered him was how to break the news to his mother, Angeline adored her husband. But he'd cross that bridge when he came to it.
Now the mission had taken on a new role, a new perspective, no longer was time essential, he could take his time, plan things properly, and this made him feel slightly better.
Mulch was impatient and usually went out during the day and refused to say where he'd been, Holly suspected him of stealing but couldn't prove her accusations.
Tamarisk stepped into the background and observed the genius Fowl as he sat, thinking. Butler hated the time they were wasting and always carried a gun with him, but he did not mention his fears to his charge. Instead he told Holly.
"I think Artemis is wasting a lot of time, we need to strike quickly."
Holly nodded. "He's lost, the death of his father had shook him."
"The murder of his father, you mean." Tamarisk said quietly.
"Well, anyway, I sent Mulch off today to speak to Hiram Tussock, he came back with a detailed plan of the interior, but I don't see how Fowl is going to pull this one off. Towers owes over three million to
Fowl, over half a million to Tamarisk and I need my convict."
At that point Artemis emerged. "Once we have got Koboi out of the way, Towers will present no problem."
"What's your plan?" Holly asked.
"I don't think Koboi would happy just controlling Tower's Towers, I think she still has her mind set on the Lower Element and destruction of the LEP. Think what she could achieve if she kidnapped a LEP officer." he said, turning to face Holly.
"I don't like the tone in your voice, Fowl." She said, dangerously.
"No? Once a LEP officer is kidnapped, the whole LEP must get involved, and we could really do with some help."
"So Koboi just happens to kidnap me?" Holly demanded.
"No, but the idea will come to her, just as it came to me."
"She doesn't know I'm here."
"She will do."
"How?"
"Because you're coming with me to Tower's Towers when I take up on that offer from Mike."
"You're joining him?" Tamarisk exclaimed.
Artemis shrugged. "Remember the Trojan Horse, it's easier to bring things down from the inside."
"Not to mention, far more dangerous." Tamarisk replied.
"I'll have Butler."
"Against a fortress full of armed guards, a powerful fairy with nothing to lose and a ruthless power hungry man, there is not a hope in hell!" Tamarisk told him.
"There has to be a chance, Tamarisk."
"How'd you figure that out, bright spark?" she demanded.
"Because if there wasn't, I'd fail and I've never failed before." He said with such finality that people in the room believed him, against their will. Maybe Artemis really couldn't fail.
