Artemis Fowl 4:
Holly's Rescue
****sorry for the wait things have been really hectic***
Important please read: I won't be continuing the next chapter for some time because I want to rewrite chapter two. So after you read this chapter leave a review and frequently check to see if there is a better and longer chapter 2 in yet. It shouldn't take me too long. 8~)
If you don't like my story you can tell me & if you think I should just stop writing and I will consider it
Remember, I know that the character names are lame so I'm having 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
Many of u haven't sent in names so im gonna assume that u like them the way they are
Don't forget to type in descriptions of Artemis and Butler! I know it sounds stupid that the author can't even remember descriptions of the main character but I do, I just don't want to make a mistake about their appearance
Oh and on that note thanx Kelsey for sending one in. ( I must sound like a retard not knowing exactly what the characters look like L )
8~)
Hope you liked my last chapter as well as like this one
*Disclaimer*- No Artemis Fowl characters are mine except for the new ones

Chapter 5- Trouble's Emergency
(I know on top it says chapter 5 even though this is really Chapter 4 so to avoid any confusion I will just
make my chapters one ahead of what they really should be. The reason for this is that the page that was
supposed to chapter 1 I used as a summary. So ch.4 will now be called ch.5, ch.5 will be ch.6, etc.--- if you
think that I've only made it more confusing by doing this I will go back to the way it was)
***************** "Highly Dangerous Criminal Containment Room*******************
Holly entered a room that had once contained a certain Artemis Fowl and his huge Euro-Asian manservant
by the name of Butler. She sighed inwardly. Life had been so boring since their mind-wipe. She was glad that
Mulch was here because his sentencing would be something to do. Although she didn't say it aloud, she didn't
want Mulch to be locked away for a long time- that would only make life underground even more boring. After
all, Mulch had helped them many times in the Artemis Fowl cases; the search for where he was hiding had even
proved to be quite exciting compared to the things that were going on. Now that the Bwa' Kell had been uprooted
out of their dwellings there was simply nothing to do.
Root was waiting at the entrance of the room. As he looked at Holly he knew something was wrong, but
then as she saw him looking at her she quickly regained her composure. Root would have asked what was
troubling her if he didn't have anything better to do, but, fortunately, he did; "Short," he barked, "you are late!"
"Sorry sir, but actually you only sent me a couple minutes ago." She responded, well aware that Root was picking
on her because she was the only female recon officer.
"No excuses! Not even your blundering can spoil this day. Bring the convict in, I'm really gonna enjoy this day."
Holly didn't bother replying because she knew he would only reprimand her further. She then proceeded to bring
Mulch in the room.
"Diggums, stop sneaking away this instant and come back her!" She exclaimed.
"Captain I was only looking for an ex- I mean a…dddrinking fffountain," he stuttered at the last couple words as
she waved her buzz baton not for the first time- or last- that day.
Holly pushed Mulch none too gently in the room that the Commander was in.
"Any problems with this criminal, Captain" asked Root.
"Not really except how he was trying-"
"No Julius, I was a perfect little dwarf waiting patiently in my room until Holly came in and buzzed me.
"Did you just call me Julius?" enquired Julius.
"Umm, no sir" the increasingly scared dwarf replied.
"I thought so because if you did you would be spending your jail time without a tongue. Also never and I repeat
never interrupt a captain again. Continue Captain Short."
Holly continued with a little smirk on her face," -to escape the cell with some bottles of dwarf rock polish."
"Is that so, do you think that we could add a few more years to his imprisonment for trying to break out."
"Absolutely Commander."
At this Mulch gave a worried look. Up until now he had been acting because he was unafraid that he would be
spending the rest of his career life in a jail cell because of a certain child prodigy who had assured him that he
would be out of difficulty; but now he wasn't so sure. I mean was it possible that Root and Short hadn't looked
at his arrest warrant yet? It seemed unlikely. However, Root did not notice Mulch's facial appearance due to his
conversation with Holly.
"How hard did you buzz him?" he asked Holly.
"Full setting" Holly replied giddily.
"Good job" Root responded while picturing Mulch getting buzzed on full setting on an already sore bum.
Julius then asked Holly to go get the arrest warrant from the Options Booth.
"But sir why didn't you grab it on your way here?"
"Are you questioning my order captain?"
"Oh no sir" Holly said as comprehension finally dawned on her. She realized that Julius wanted to berate Mulch
without anyone there to see him in case he did something "against regulations." Too bad he didn't know that Foaly
was watching secretly from a hidden camera that he had installed exclusively for this occasion- he had made
sure that Holly promised not tell anyone when she found out that he had secretly done this.
As she hurried toward the room where Foaly was sure to be watching everything, Holly heard an irritating,
incessant beeping that was extremely loud. As she walked down the hall the beeping became louder- until she
realized what was making the sound. She opened up the compartment and found the commanders wallet and
other valuables. After searching in his stuff she found the special pager that Foaly had invented years before.
It could be used for so many things it would be inadequate to list it all. It was almost ridiculous how far behind
human technology was.
She read the text message and clicked on the audio clip that Foaly had recorded along with the message. She
gasped and almost dropped the pager as she heard and read/heard the two things simultaneously.
"SOS! Where are you! Hurry and return to the OPs booth. There has been an emergency please return.
Trouble's squad has run into precarious peril they are out of magic and need backup immediately. It
seems that a goblin squad has gotten loose. I'm not allowed to send help- only you are. Hurry!!!! SOS!"
Her first impulse was to go help Foaly but she knew it was her duty to tell the commander so she ran to warn him as fast as possible.
