Title: Not Yet
Chapter: three
Dedication: my reviewers and Nytvision.
Authors note: Hmmm, flaws? I shall try. Sorry about the Foaly ooc- ness. This is the chapter where a lot ties together.
Disclaimer: I do not own bogglefish, or anything that is Eions.
Claimer: Iris, Kyle, Sean, Kat, Nessa, and Lizzie. I know I really shouldn't have so many OCs, but I could not help myself. I may make the Eion colfers characters parts larger so it won't be so bad. Hmmmm.
Dedication: Nytvision, Jaylene, Kelsey, Mage Kitty, and Alex. You guys rock!

Reviewage:

Mage Kitty: Thank you. I did not really expect ten reviews. I wanted to know what happened.
Kelsey: Thanks for the tips. I don't know what happened 'bout that, how all me words got messed up. Yes memory error, all the rest: me being moronic. That chappie was splashed together in very little time and had very little effort put into it. Sorry if my writing quality suffered, Jay said it was good and she would give me a dollar if I hade chapter two done by the time she got to my house. Yes, I am a sucker. I'm glad you like Iris.
Alex: Thanks for the support and the advice.

Iris: O.o

Me: Shut up!

==Op booth==

In the operations booth, Holly, Foaly and Julius were discussing the important matter at hand: the ransom note. The email, in case you were wondering, read:

From: Abogglefish@HOL.hav To: Genius@Foaly.me

I have Jenn. One ton, small unmarked ingots only, the alley behind the house, tomorrow, or the red rooster strikes.

Jenn just happens to be Foaly's sister. Anyone who knew Foaly well enough could tell you that he would jump off a cliff for her. He looked at Holly, who was confused about parts of the email.
"Well?" Holly asked.
He looked at her and opened his mouth and considered going into lecture mode, but suddenly his whole body felt as heavy as a load of bricks.
"You know him don't you?" she asked, already knowing the answer.
Foaly looked at her, and finally said, "He was my best friend at the university."
"And the red rooster?" she prodded.
He opened his mouth slowly, building anticipation.
"Just get on with it, you stupid donkey!!" Commander Root yelled and immediately felt bad; his own younger sister had died of a rouge troll when he was barely six hundred.
Foaly glared at him, and then turned to Holly. "Have you ever heard of 'Inkheart?'?"
Holly thought for a moment, "No, but I am guessing that it is a mud man movie-"
"Book," he cut her off.
"Book, whatever and you both read it and." she trailed off, hoping Foaly would get the hint that she wanted him to continue. To her surprise, he decided to start at the begging, the very beginning.

He closed his eyes, as if reliving a painful memory. He breathed in deeply before starting, "Back at the university, Jason and I were rivals, but not like Opal and I, like friendly rivals. Well, when it came to the science fair on year, my iris cam beat his-" Foaly then continued to ramble on about his old friend and him had become bitter rivals than full on enemies. (A/n: More about the rooster later)

==Nessa's apartment==

Speaking of Iris- After getting a sense of stability from bumping into the wall, several times might I add, she decided to investigate a particularly rowdy looking piece of stink worm. She boggled at it and wondered if she should eat it. Her rather small brain had absolutely no opinion in the matter whatsoever. She gobbled a piece it down and boggled at the rest of the mysterious object that arrived daily.

==Later, Sean at home==

He turned on his computer (Really, really old computer) and saw that he had no new mail. After a moment a familiar voice said, "You've got mail." He clicked on the icon and waited for it to load.

The email was routed through through Sweden, although our main villain is Ger and his accompas, *himthint*. It said:

Ring, Ring.

Huh? He thought to himself, before his phone (he rarely ever answered his phone, he only kept it for emergencies) rang. There was only one person who could be calling him, Ger.
He hesitated, before slowly picking it up.
"Ge-" he started.
"Shut up you moron! Do not ever use my name!"
"Okay," he said.
"Now listen up, you little worm. Be in the alleyway behind the nerd's house, tomorrow, if he doesn't pay up, the red rooster strikes, and you'll help it, won't you?" He had done minor things for Ger, mainly stealing, but never arson. He gulped.
"I don't have a choice, do I?" he asked, although he knew the answer.
"You do boy, ya live or" and then he made a slit throat noise and the line went dead.

==Nessa's apartment==

Nessa burped. Did I do that? She thought. She boggled at the bubbles at the top of the water. She got a little to close for comfort and the bubble popped. She sat astounded for a minute. She then worked up the courage to burp again. For the sequence of events that came next, I have one word: consistency.

==Dark alley==

It had all been too simple; all he had to do was have two things: One, an intern who was desperate for cash, and two, someone who was mad at Foaly. Both had been relatively easy to acquire. Following in mommy's footsteps. Know who it is yet? Ger Kboi. (A/N sorry if it's wrong, I haven't read the second for a while)
He sat, leaning over the tape, and heard the following conversation: "Boo!" there was silence for a moment.

==Somewhere==

Artemis turned slowly. This thing looked familiar. He (Very sophisticatedly and Arty-like) rubbed the bridge of his nose. He looked at him for a moment.
Mulch, expecting this said, "Holly."
Artemis blinked and sat down on a nearby haystack. After a moment he said, "Mulch, I specifically told you to wait 'A few years.' What has it been, a month?"
Mulch smiled; Fowl was back.
