Chapter 23
"First time in the chutes is always a little rough," said Brice as he helped Brian off the shuttle.
In response, Brian threw up.
Brice laughed. "A human if I ever saw one."
"My mother once took me to an American theme park. My sister made me go on a roller coaster with her, I hated it. This though, this was much worse."
It was true, Brian felt awful. The suit that he had to wear so that the pressure underground didn't kill him wasn't very comfy either.
Again, Brice laughed. "Follow me kid, I'll show you the main database, or ICP as Foaly calls it."

Within minutes, Brian found himself standing outside a large black building. Well, as much of a building as any faerie database could be.
"It's incredible," said Brian. "How are we going to get in?"
Brice didn't reply, but simply walked around to stand behind the fence that wrapped around ICP.
"Look here," Brice pointed to the ground.
Brian did look, though he wasn't sure what he was looking at. The area that Brice was pointing at looked just like a layer of dirt and more dirt to him.
No, though Brian, a split second later. This area it different. The dirt here is darker.
He glanced up at Brice, who had a bemused look in his face.
"I suppose that you've noticed," said Brice as he nudged the darker area with his boot. It instantly vanished, revealing a small tunnel.
"This is how you've been getting in," said Brian. "But who dug the tunnel for you?"
For a second Brice's good-humored expression vanished. "That friend of yours from the Tara base."
Brian was taken aback. "But Mulch acted as if you were the devil in disguise."
"Well we had a few disagreements."
Brian's eyes narrowed. "Such as?"
"Just a difference in beliefs," Brice climbed into the hole, followed by one of his bodyguards, the other waited till Brian went in.
The darkness in the tunnel enveloped Brian, making him shiver. The dark was the only thing wrong though. He was beginning to smell deceit.

"Brice wants Brian to help him destroy all of the faerie technology,minus Cudgeon's weapons," explained Mulch. "Brian is one of the few people that is smart enough to do this, and foolish enough."
"What will Brice do with Brian after he rigs the computers?" Asked Amber.
"He'll keep him around for a little while, as a hostage if for nothing else. No matter what happens though, Brian's life is in grave danger."
"Which means," cut in Holly. "The sooner we get underground, the better."
"I just hope that we won't be too late," said Artemis.
