My first Artemis Fowl fic, and I hope it'll be good.

"SHORT!!! GET IN HERE!!!" Needless to say, Commander Root wanted Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon. Holly sighed. She thought they were past "shout at the rookie" stage.
"All right, I'm coming, I'm coming." She said as she entered the Operations Booth.
" I'm afraid that you're going to be a lot more stressed out by the time this breifing is over, Captain." Foaly said worriedly.
" What's up?" Holly asked inquisitively. " Kidnapping? Smuggling? Leaked fairy technology?" She laughed. Artemis jokes were her favorite but she didn't make too many of them.
" Actually, it's worse. We were testing out a new invention, the everlasting time-stop. We mind-wiped the Mud Men involved, and thought our ace-in-the-hole was in a really deep hole and instead of an ace, it was a full house." Foaly said, with just a hint of pride at himself. "But that's when the trouble started." His face turned white. You could tell when Foaly ran out of sarcasm and and started saying things were bad, then they were.
"How? Routine test, and another case of bad figurative language from you." Holly replied, still in her coffee-induced caffeine high.
"The wipes didn't take." Foaly said bluntly.
"What-" Holly's coffee wore off. "Please tell me this was a hippie and therefore noone's been told and I can just block-wipe them."
"IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE, BUT A CERTAIN CENTAUR FORGOT TO CHECK THE GUEST LIST!" Root roared, having been a little numb from the news.
"How was I supposed to know that the British Prime Minister was at Stonehenge that day, along with several U.N. ambassadors?" Obviously, that was Foaly.
"So, lemme get this straight. Wipes didn't take, and the governments of 70% of the world know about the fairies? Well, can we make peaceful contact?"
Root calmed down a bit. " With the Mud Men? Are you crazy? They think we're a threat."
Foaly decided to get to the real point. "We need you take this." He said, "It's a anti-wipe. Shoot Fowl with this, get his memories back, pass him an earpiece, come back here, and we'll get you the rest of your mission."
"Do I have to?" Holly whined.
"YES!!!" Root again. "DO IT NOW!"
"Fine. I'll do it." That's what she said. But in her heart she thought, "Why me?" ______________________________________________________________________
