Yo! How did you like my last chapter? I wasn't sure whether I portrayed Holly right… Oh well. Again, IronEyes24... Goku… etc. Yay! This is so far the longest I have stuck at a fan fiction, all my other ones have kinda crashed and burned… Don't own… Don't care… Enjoy!

Terra awakened to the sour smell of disinfectant. She rubbed her shoulder, it hurt. The pain would have bee excruciating if it were not for the numbing morphine she had been administered earlier. Ouch, she thought. Blood had already began to seep through the fresh bandages. The Captain sat up, her back yearned to lie down again, pains shooting back and forth along her spine made her flinch.

"Good morning," said a deep, Irish voice next to her. It was Artemis Fowl, he was tired, apparently through lack of sleep. His jacket was on the back of his chair and his top button was undone, yet he still seemed uneasy. Terra raised an eyebrow.

"What…?" She said, the drugs made her voice stutter and her mind begged to go back to sleep. Artemis smoothed his untidy dark hair, but to no avail, it just fell back out of place.

"Your pirate friends didn't see it fit for us to be parted. Me being a hostage and all," he mocked. Now may be my only opportunity to get answers, he thought. The Captain threw off her bedclothes to reveal a bandaged top half and the bottom half still in wide ¾ jeans. Her belts however were empty.

"Where are my weapons?" She asked swiftly, patting her chest with her left hand, "where's my necklace?"

Artemis sighed, "the staff took it all away, apparently it might scare the other patients." Her shocked expression didn't change. "Don't worry, your men said they were at a fancy dress party, no awkward questions."

Terra wasn't convinced, she leapt out of the bed. Artemis was immediately flung over it, he groaned.

"Why are we cuffed together?" She asked, shaking her wrist. He shuffled of the bed and stood next to her.

"I would have thought that obvious," Artemis said, staring blankly. She groaned again, pulling on her steel capped boots. The Captain stormed off out of the cubicle, dragging him with her.

The two shot down a white corridor, startling a few nurses on the way.

"Who are you anyway?" He enquired while he could. She looked back and winked, nearly toppling over a breakfast cart, the peddler cursed as they ran past.

"That's for me to know and you not to find out, kid," Terra teased. How stupid does this guy think I am? She thought, give away my name, no chance. On down the corridor, Artemis pointed out the receptionist that had confiscated her weapons. But too late, the receptionist hopped into the lift, and headed down to the ground floor.

The Captain thundered over to the lift and pressed the button over, and over.

"You only need to press it once for it to come," Artemis mocked. If looks could kill, she would have shot him dead. Whatever she is after, seems very important to her, Artemis thought, maybe I can wield it to my advantage… A smirk spread across his face, he couldn't help it.

"what the hell are you smiling at?" She growled as the lift doors opened, there was an old couple standing inside, the man had a bandage on his head. They stepped in, and turned to face the doors as they closed.

"Nothing," he said, becoming uneasy. Artemis could feel he red hot stares the couple were giving them. Terra turned to look at them, and the old woman tutted.

"Ground floor," a monotone American voice sounded from the speakers, the doors moved apart.

This is just updating for the sake of updating really, I just wanted to show that I haven't given up on the story, more the will to live…

I've been buried under exam stress and course work and am completely shattered, I know it's a pathetic excuse for a chapter and doesn't really have anything of substance, but I felt like I'd abandoned it. So I am about 75% sure I'm going to add to it or change it. So review and tell me what you hated, and maybe what you'd like to see, because I have no idea…lol

Silence.
