Artemis Fowl 4:
Holly's Rescue
I am truly sorry for all these lame and extremely short stories
Please bear with me or you can tell me if you think I should just stop writing and I will consider it
Also, I know that the character names are lame so I'll have a contest (this great idea is being borrowed from Lessa3- who's story is awesome- so thanks Lessa for letting me borrow it) and the winner will have my utmost thanks and a chapter dedicated to them
It might be a while but I will try my hardest to make my next chapter longer
And thanks for your opinions and criticisms I really try to do fix up my story with them
I will be getting into the plot with Chapter 3 I was just trying to let you know about the villain's past
And finally, thanks for reading my little story and I will try to get it going better but you have to remember that this is my first fanfic-and story.
You might notice that this is what I wrote in the review so u should always go and check the reviews for what I have written
And guys don't lose faith in me just yet!!!!!!!!!
*Disclaimer*- No Artemis Fowl characters are mine except for the new ones

Chapter 3- The Actual Plot
(Chapter 1 had the beginning of the story with Trouble and Chapter 2 had the villain's past in it so Chapter 3 will continue the plot)
*******Hallway in LEP Headquarters toward the "Highly Dangerous Criminal Containment Room*******
It was the first time in years-probably centuries- that anyone had ever seen Commander Root as happy as he was today. Today was the day that he made sure Mulch would be put away for a long, long time. There was nothing that could spoil his mood today, or so he thought. As he walked down to the room containing Mulch he began to hum a little tune to himself. As all of his friends knew, this meant that somebody was about to be the sorriest fairy ever to live underground.
"Finally, Mulch will be put behind bars for so long that he might as well as kill himself now. He's going to pay for all the pain he has inflicted upon us, and all the long sleepless nights we had searching for him, " thought Root; well aware that Mulch never caused him pain nor had he ever lost any sleep worrying about Mulch's whereabouts.
As he neared the room, he decided to stop and put all his valuables in a safe place just in case Mulch had any ideas to steal his ID. He then opted to play a prank on little old Mulch. He emptied his wallet and placed in it a secret card. Foaly had specifically designed this card to stun all pickpockets; himself being pickpocketed no less than thirty times. He thought it was a team of fairies that wanted to make his life miserable, never expecting that every time had been Mulch.
This new card was designed to check for fingerprints, and if the fingerprint wasn't one that had been registered in the card's memory, the owner of the finger received a most "electrifying" shock. Root had a hearty chuckle at the thought of Mulch getting electrocuted. He even hoped that he could pile on a few extra years for Mulch-for trying to pickpocket a commander. He then proceeded to place his card in the area that Mulch most commonly took it from.
**********Hallway on other end of building From Room 105 (which happened to be Mulch's age) "Maximum Security Prison Cell" to room 5 "Highly Dangerous Criminal Containment Room"************
Holly entered the room that the commander had sent her to. She was told to fetch a certain dwarf. She
found him in the corner holding something, but as soon as Mulch saw her, he put the thing in a secret
compartment in his clothes. Holly thought that she imagined this because Mulch had been given new prison
clothes and at least 5 bottles of dwarf rock polish had been found in his clothes. Even so, Holly knew it
was better to be safe than sorry with Mulch so she told him to hand it over.
"Mulch, what was that?"
"Ah, Captain how nice of you to visit me."
"Out with it Mulch and stop changing the subject."
" I do believe that I don't have a clue of what you are talk- OWW! Okay, okay I'll give it to you but you
didn't have to buzz me. Besides, my bottom is a precious place. I have already loaned a chunk of it to
somebody's face, and how's a dwarf supposed to release a mouthful of dirt after it is inside his intestines
without a rear."
" Oh, I know that I didn't have to but it was my pleasure, and please that was way more than enough
information."
Reluctantly, Mulch gave her a bottle of dwarf polish; but was genuinely surprised when she asked for
the others. She then began to wave her buzz baton threateningly so he quickly gave her the last 17.5
bottles; for fear that she would really buzz him again. Holly's composure fell for an instant because
of the amount of bottles that Mulch had given her. She realized that she must have really stung him
hard for him to give her all these bottles, and she wondered how he smuggled all of these bottles past
the guys that were supposed to look out for suspicious things.
They then left the room and entered the hallway. As, Holly closed the door her gaze went to the
corner that Mulch was at and she realized that half a bottle more and Mulch would have escaped
again. "Come on Convict, there is someone waiting to have a nice long chat with you concerning your
behavior," said Holly in a sweet little voice that obviously meant, "You are about to be sorriest dwarf alive."
Mulch gulped visibly trying not to show that he was afraid. "Why, Holly I have a name you know. So, why are you calling me Julius's pet name for me?"
"Dwarf, I'll let you have your little laugh now because in a little while that will be the last thing you want to do."
Mulch determined to be annoying to the last said, "You know Holly if this is some ploy to get me to go out
with you it will never happen because as I believe I've already told you, I don't date fairies from other species."
"Ha ha,'' said Holly, and then in a matter-of-fact voice responded, " You know I realized that the room you
were in said your age-kind of ironic, huh? Just so you can tell your jokes to your fellow goblin inmates in room
431- your age when you get out."
With this remark Mulch shivered-not because Holly had said it in a mean way-but because she said it in a
way that sounded as if Root had already decided this beforehand. Still, not to get beaten by the competitive
banter that was going on he retorted:
"Oh yeah! Well it just so happens that I noticed something too: the room we're on our way to now is the
same one Fowl was in a couple of years ago."
Now, Mulch wasn't a mean person but as soon as the words left his mouth he wished he could take them
back. Holly, on the other hand, who had previously been smiling with the teasing that they were doing between
each other had suddenly become quiet and looked away.
She didn't talk for the rest of the walk back to the containment room.
