Chapter Nine

--------------

"Who's that?" Erin-Fey asked quietly, seeing the uniformed Holly Short, freazeing in her tracks, almost makeing Artemis fall himself as he had his arm arround Erin-Fey.

The timidness was very unlike her. It frightened him slightly, "She's a friend, Fey, it's alright."

The girl frowned slightly, green eyes alert and suspishus.

Artemis stopped and had her face him. She tensed slightly, stareing him in the eye, "Trust me," Artemis said quietly.

"Okay," She managed as a reply.

Artemis put his arm around her side and took her hand in his, leading her to the small group. Butler, haveing guessed, was just arriveing with some caviar.

Erin-Fey relaxed a bit, seeing Butler present, then she looked to the little brown skinned person cautiously. She could tell the creature wasn't human, and was oviously in law enforcement.

Holly had retrieved her wings and helmet earlier and they sat off to the side. She had drawn the comunications link out of the helmet and was talking to Foaly quietly. She closed the link and removed it from her ear and looked to Erin-Fey, smileing.

"Hi," Holly said standing and smileing, "I'm Holly Short. I'm a friend of Artemis & company's."

Erin-Fey recoiled slightly, seeing the gun strapped on Holly's belt.
