*Author's note- I was utterly amazed at all the reviews I got… I wasn't expecting them, to say the least. Most of you liked it… Except for a few (*cougharsescough*) who left rude comments. Anyway… I re-read it… and realized where it went wrong. So Here is the second chapter, nice and fixed..

Holly Short was walking through the hallways, chewing her lip in anger. She

couldn't explain what had come over her in the simulator. She returned to her office,

where she picked up the stack of papers and tried to file them. Only when she placed

"Goblin Fights" under the C-section did she realize she needed to take a break. She

considered going to get a bite to eat, but she wasn't hungry. So she finally rested on the

idea of going to see Foaly.

Holly went to the Operations Booth and sat on the counter, mildly chatting with

Foaly.

"By the way Captain…I was monitoring you in the simulator." Faoly said off-

handily.

Holly froze and the gadget in her hand cracked. "W-what?"

"Holly! I haven't gotten to test that yet! Would you please be more careful with

my creations?" Foaly snapped, click-cloppiting over to her and taking the broken object

out of her hand.

"Ah… yes of course Foaly, sorry about that. Er… what exactly did you see in the

simulator?" Holly asked quietly.

"…Why, are you worried Holly?" Foaly responded.

"What? No not at all! Just a little curious why you brought it up."

"Well, I was thinking about making you your own system, something more

difficult. So I was monitoring what you had more trouble with on the simulator. I noticed

that you lost when the Artemis Fowl part came up."

Holly winced at the name and bit her lip. "Oh. I –

"No need to explain Holly." Foaly said quickly. Then deciding he didn't want to

have Holly around to burst on him. "You better get back to work before Root pitches a

fit."

Holly nodded "You're probably right. I'll see you later." Holly said, leaving.

"That was close. Have to be more careful about confronting Holly about her

lovers Foaly…" He muttered to himself after the door had closed behind Holly.

"Who are you?" Artemis asked the girl.

"Not as if you care. Even though I saved your life." The girl said.

"What happened?" Artemis asked her.

"You took in a good bit of salt water. You hit your head on a rock.

"Now if you're done interrogating me, I have better things to do than chat with an

inconsiderate rude pig." She snapped, standing up and making to walk off.

"No!" Artemis said suddenly, grabbing her elbow. "I still don't know your name."

She stared at him searchingly, then nodded as if decided. "Jael. And you are?"

"Artemis Fowl. Nice to meet you." He said, holding out his hand.

Jael stared at his hand curiously for a moment, then cautiously took it. He gripped

her delicate hand firmly and shook it.

"You're a bit odd, you know." She said.

Artemis narrowed his eyes. "Better odd than a rude simpleton."

Jael's mouth opened, and she set her jaw. "I do believe you're the one being rude now." She said firmly.

As she walked away, Artemis watched her carefully. He was letting her get away, but he would find out more about her.

Holly was in her office, once again filing papers. She couldn't think straight.

"It's this free time. It's driving me insane. Not enough work." She muttered to

herself. A thought arose. 'Or maybe you miss Fowl.'

"Miss Fowl? Stuck up little rat. No reason to miss him. Thank Rond he doesn't

remember about the People."

'Are you sure that doesn't bother you a little?'

"Why would it?"

'After all you did for him, all you went through, and he doesn't remember you?'

Holly sighed. "D'Arvit. It is a bit… irritating." She admitted to herself. "Oh! I'm

talking to myself!" She said angrily, slamming the filing drawer shut, directly on her

fingers. "Artemis Fowl! If I ever see you again I will punch you so hard you'll forget a

lot more than just the People!" She shouted.

Foaly, who was listening to this in the Operations Booth, chuckled and turned the

mic off.

Artemis was sitting in his hotel room, typing away at his lap top. Butler entered the room, carrying a glass of orange juice. He brought the glass to Artemis, who took it gratefully. "Thank you, Butler." He sipped at it as he scrolled down a web page, then set it down and looked at his bodyguard.

"Butler… What do you know about a firearm that can pierce a hole directly in the middle of a coin?" He asked.

Butler answered quickly. "There are a number of ways it could be done. Lasers are the most  likely."

Artemis nodded. "Yes, of course." He shut the lid on his laptop and sighed. "We have a new project, Butler." Butler straightened up, awaiting orders. "I need you to find out about a girl—

Butler's eyes widened and he raised a single eyebrow.

"No, not anything like that. Honestly, you of all people should know me better than that…"

*So this is my redone second chapter… I hope you like this one better, and I am still working on Jael… Please review!
