Disclaimers are so freaking annoying! You know the drill, I'm not Eoin Colfer and I did not create Artemis Fowl.

Ragna: That review was really sweet but you lost me at one part. You said something about no one being smarter then Artemis 2. Did you mean that I made it seem like someone was smarter? Cause I know that no one is....

Oompa Loompa: Finally someone who is taking my side on this argument!!

A/N: Sry guys, I realize that I might have confused you at one part. When Brian and Holly were having that conversation Brice was out of the room.

Chapter 21

"Someone help!" Cried Mulch in vain. He was still trapped in the bag that Brice's guards and shoved him into, and there didn't seem to be anyone around.

"Help, please!" he tired again. No one replied. "D'Arvit," he mumbled.

"Did you hear that?" Amber asked, stopping abruptly. "It was a voice."

Root and Artemis both stopped moving and listened intently.

"I hear it," said Root. "And I think that I know who it is."

"Help...." Started Mulch, but then he was interrupted by a familiar voice.

"Shut up convict, we're here."

"Root? Is that you?" Mulch couldn't help but keep the disappointment from his voice. He was hoping that someone else would find him, it would make his get away easier. "Who's we?"

"Artemis and Amber," said Root as he lifted the bag that Mulch was in down. "D'Arvit, you weigh a ton."

"Because you're my rescuer I'm going to ignore that comment," Mulch tumbled out of the bag and gingerly stood up. "Man do I have such cramps from being in that little bag."

"Spare us," said Amber. "How did you get up there?"

"Why don't you ask your precious Brian? He can tell you," said Mulch, eyes flashing.

Artemis groaned. "He's really getting around this place isn't he?" Then he turned to Mulch. "Do you know where he went?"

Relief flooded through Artemis and Amber when Mulch nodded. "I know exactly where he and Brice went, follow me."

A/N: Short I know, but I wanted a cliffy. Reviews please!
