Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Artemis Fowl, The Carmody Academy, Foaly, Butler,
Holly Short, Chix Verbil, Trouble Kelp, blah blah blah. I do own the
twins, John, Kyle, Henry Creen, Amber, Brice Cudgeon, and Carmon,
obviously. No one sue me, I am innocent! *Shifts eyes guiltily*
BTW: Thank you everyone who has reviewed! This is my first fanfic and you have really boosted my confidence.
To Becca and Mage Kitty: You asked for Holly and I give you Holly!
A/N: Holly has been promoted to Major sometime within the past 20 years, so no one post a review saying that she's a captain, cause I know that she was but now she's a major.
Chapter 6
If Briar Cudgeon has a son, thought Artemis, then why hasn't he appeared before now? Something doesn't fit.
He, Butler and Amber were now right outside of the base, and there weren't even any guards watching the outside.
"What are they doing?" wondered Amber aloud. "Aren't they afraid that some humans are going to see the base and come look? Why don't they have any guards out?"
"They are probably more worried about the battle that must be going on inside," commented Artemis.
"Well, if any more humans see this base they are going to have a bigger problem then Briar Cudgeon's son," replied Amber.
Artemis nodded, but said nothing. Should they just enter? If they did, they would run the risk of being shot, but he was positive that Aidan and Brian were in there. They couldn't just stand outside while the twins were wreaking havoc.
Without a word, Artemis walked forward, Amber and Butler behind him.

"Um, Commander Root?" started Foaly almost shyly after Root said that he was going back to the battle.
"What is it Foaly? Is it about the shield?" asked Root, stopping in the middle of the lunchroom.
"No commander, not really. You see, one of our sprites, Henry was doing a fly over to see if and of Cudgeon's men were sneaking up on us."
"Yeah, so?"
"So, when he was loading his gun to return to battle he was shot with a human dart. Two, to be precise, one in the neck and one broke the camera on his helmet."
"D'arvit," mumbled Root. "Do we know who it was?"
"Not for a fact but I'll give you one guess who in probably was."
Root ground his teeth.

Major Holly Short of LEP ran through a hallway of the Tara Base. This was bad. Brice Cudgeon would stop at nothing to get revenge for his father, and he had far more supporters fighting on his side underground and aboveground then the LEP had trained officers. The battle below ground needed as many officers as it could get, and Holly hated to leave, but she had to come above ground to wait for Artemis. Whether he was waiting for her outside the Tara Base or in it, she did not know. That would make things more difficult, now she would have to hunt for him. She supposed that it was her own fault though; she should have been more specific in the e-mail.
She kicked open the door to the lunchroom. Bad move for her. She kicked it open right when another elf was about to open it to leave.
Thump. Commander Root fell heavily to the floor.
"Oh my gosh! I am so sorry Commander!" cried Holly as she helped him off the floor. "I was looking for Artemis."
"Yeah, well if you find him tell him he's under arrest," Root said, leaning against the wall after he had risen.
"For what?!" This statement took Holly aback.
"For shooting one of our few sprites with a dart. Who knows what else he will do or has already done in our time of crisis."
"Commander, I don't believe that Artemis would do this. You know he hasn't done anything against us in many, many years," defended Holly. "He's almost been our friend."
"Major Short!" Started Root sharply. "Henry was shot by a human dart, what other human would carry darts with him?"
Holly was about to reply, but then she realized that she had no response to that.
"Exactly. When you find him, arrest him and whoever is with him. Lock them in a secure room, and then join the battle. We need all the LEP that we can get." With that, Commander Root left.
Holly stood there for several moments. Why would Artemis do it?
