Disclaimer: *person walks on stage* the announcer is currently taking a nap
(I might add that she is supposed to be up here right now so I am going to
steal her paycheck). So she gave me a list of things to tell you. One lwoF
simetrA nwo ton seod ehs. And two, rebmun laires dna laerec neewteb ekatsim
eht tuoba yrros si ehs. Wait, oops that's backwards, O.K. this is what it
says. One, she does not own Artemis Fowl. And two, she is sorry about the
mistake between cereal and serial number. *Somebody whispers in his ear*
WHAT! She doesn't have a pay check!?!
Chapter Five: The Plane
The first ten or so minutes they spent the trip in silence. Then Holly had to ask the question that was buzzing around her head; "So you left your mother a note saying that you were at the park. And in the time you will be at the 'park' we will go down to America, see who is making neutrinos, and get back?"
"That's pretty much how it's going to work," Artemis said, rubbing the sore spot on his nose.
Holly decided to leave it at that. Artemis was hardly ever wrong, she just hoped that that stayed true.
"Holly?" the voice came through her helmet.
"Yes Root?" she wasn't sure she was going to like this, Root had sounded mad.
"Why are you riding in a car. I thought I told you not to act without confirming with me?!"
"That's my fault, not Holly's," Artemis' voice was quiet. Holly was taken aback, Artemis was actually admitting to fault. He had been acting very weird lately. Root seemed surprised too because he didn't answer right away. At last he did speak.
"And why is it your fault mud boy?"
"Because we had to leave before my mother got home."
"I see," it was a lie, "And why did you have to leave?"
"For one thing," Holly answered this time, "It's not just that someone has given neutrinos to mud men, they also gave away the secret of making them."
"Oh," was all Root said.
Holly continued to fill the silence, "So we decided to head off to the US where they're being made. Foaly can you see what you could get on this place? It's in Seattle, Washington, US."
"I know where Seattle is, you don't have to tell me," Foaly's voice sounded hurt. "O.K., I got it, you can say I'm a genius. There's what appears to be old storage space under the Space Needle, but I can locate many neutrinos in that area."
"Yes Foaly, you're a genius. So how are we getting there?"
"Well normally we would have you take a shuttle," Artemis groaned, "Don't lose your head mud boy, since we have to hide all this from the Council, I don't think that will be an option."
"Why do I have the feeling that however else we can get there is not something I am going to like?" Holly asked.
"I think that would be because you are not going to like it, the only way we have left is by plane," Root's grumbling came through clearly and it was obvious that he had not know about this plan ether.
"Foaly, you know I can't go on a plan!" Holly was more then a bit scared at this idea.
"Why not?"
"How often to you think they see three foot tall people on a plane!"
"There are such thing as three foot tall mud people, you'll just have to pass as one of those."
"But..."
"Captain Short, that's an order."
"Butler, could you get us some tickets on the next flight out?" Artemis asked the manservant.
"No need, I already got you some, you flight leaves in three hours," Foaly sounded rather smug at beating Artemis for once.
A/N Ahhhhhhh! Short chapter! Sorry I didn't get it up sooner. Tell me what you think of the announcer (that was Joe Bobby and I don't think I will hire him again, but I might hire somebody else to do it). Thank you to everyone who reviewed. You're my favorite!
