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*
A/N: Thanx for the great reviews everyone! Becca, I'm glad that you were not mad at me about the name thing and I am honored that you put me on your favorites list.
A/N: I just realized a big mistake that I made. I said that it was evening when Brian read the e-mail, but it was broad daylight when he went to Tara. Let's just pretend like I said that he waited a day, I don't feel like changing it.
Chapter 9
"I told you that it would be easy," said Brian as he closed his laptop. "Really it was pointless though. All that was written on the wall was what the LEP officers that guard the base should do in case of an emergency."
"Then can we go now?" Asked Aidan loudly as she ran a finger through her raven hair. "I'm bored."
Brian rolled his eyes as he stood up. "We need to." His voice trailed off as a large man turned a corner and stood in front of them.
Amber and Artemis were right behind him.
"Awwww, your in trouble," chanted Aidan to Brian.
"So are you," snapped Amber.
"Me?!" Cried Aidan. "Why am I in trouble?! He made me come!"
"I did not!" replied Brian suddenly. "I didn't even want you to come!"
"Stop! Both of you," cut in Artemis, seeing Aidan about to reply. "What could the two have been thinking? I was so afraid that something had happened to you."
"Great acting dad," said Brian coldly, "I almost believed you."
For once Artemis didn't know how to reply.

Becca's knees shook as she walked through the hallways, now dark due to the fact that the electricity has also gone out.
"It will be okay Becca," assured Holly. "Butler did take out a retrieval squad, but I don't think Artemis would have him actually hurt us."
"At least not too badly," came the ever reassuring voice of Foaly from their earpieces.
"Foaly!" Snapped Holly.
"It's okay Major Short, I can do this," said Becca with a weak smile.
Holly smiled back, though she was worried. Artemis really wouldn't hurt them, would he? If this plan didn't work, would Artemis be mad enough to actually hurt them?
I shouldn't have brought Becca, Holly silently thought, she could get seriously hurt. Getting hurt is part of the job though, isn't it?
Holly swallowed. It was too late for doubts.

"What do you mean by that Brian?" Artemis was finally able to ask.
"You know perfectly well what I meant father," replied Brian.
Artemis didn't reply, because he did know.
Suddenly Butler cut in. "Artemis." But he didn't have time to finish.
Butler lay on the floor unconscious.
Immediately Kyle and John pushed Brian and Aidan into a nearby room, closing the door.
Artemis felt a sharp jab in-between his shoulder and neck.
He almost smiled. The LEP seemed to have taken a leaf out of his own book.
A/N: For all of you who are slow on their feet, the LEP used darts. Please Review!!!!
