Chapter 3

When the trip was over four out of six were asleep. Artemis, and Holly were still awake, but they wern't talking to eachother. Artemis pretended that he was asleep to avoid conversation, and Holly pretended to concentrate on flying.Artemis after a while couldn't be asleep anymore.

"Holly?" He said

"Yes, Mudboy." Holly answered

"I am sorry, for kidnapping you and all." Holly was smiling.

"Its okay, Artemis. You had a reason, at least. It wasn't a good one, but that isn't the point, now is it?"

"I suppose it isn't. Anyway, so you are takeing the long way, huh?"

"No, this is a confertable shutle, it is not fast. It is like the slowest thing on the planet. We will be there in about ten minuets."

"Good, any longer and one of them is going to go into a coma."

"Stephanie is Butler's Cousin?"

"Yes. Unfortanitly, for the whole family."

"So, you don't like her huh?"

"No, I don't like her at all." Holly smiled. If the LEP needed help on somthing she knew who would be paired together.

"Oh, okay."

"Captin, I think I have an idea. One that could scare the LEP a little."

"Tell."

"Okay, you go in first. Tell everyone that you were in London,the Commander sent you there on secret buisness. Ten minuets after youv'e gone, the rest of us will sneak out. Me being on a most wanted list, people wont forget my face, or Butler's. It could give me just the edge I need."

"Thats great, exept what will you say when someone talks to you?"

"Depends on what they say. Don't worry Captin, everything wil be fine."

"You tell them, I am going to go now."

"Fantastic." Artemis leaned back in his chair. Relaxation. Soon, though, his plan would be in play. All he had to do was wait.

"Hey!There are 60 big guys with guns creeping up ao you!" Artemis yelled. Butler, Juliet, and Stephanie all woke up and dreww there wepons.

"Artemis! Where is Holly?" Stephanie said.

"That is why I woke you up. To tell you. So she left on business. She wants you to go to Root, tell him. I am going to here place to gather a few things." Artemis explained.

"I can't let you go alone, Artemis." Butler said. He was in no condittion to do anything very physical, he knew that, but he stil tried.

"No. Sorry, go to Roots office, I'll be fine." Butler waasn't reassured. But he left with the rest of them. Now Artemis could get to work. He started to mess with the technology on the shuttle. Building was his specialty, and he was about to make something that he would soon regret.
