A/N: I figured out what was wrong. And I got two whole reviews!

Chapter 2:Captain McHunt.

Haven, Lower Elements

Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon rubbed her eyes as she walked past the operations booth. She walked into the commanders office yawning. Commander Root had called all of the captains to his office unusually early. Holly hoped that it was for a good reason, for that day happened to be her day off. She normally slept an extra few hours on this day, and wanted to go back home to her bed as soon as possible.

"Alright, Short's here so lets get started," said the commander, at the exact second Holly walked in. He sounded like he didn't really want to be the one to announce the important news that woke him up even earlier than Holly."The council has decided to enlist a new captain into the Recon. This is Captain McHunt." He tried, and failed, to sound excited.

The room was silent as the new captain took off his helmet. Or rather, her helmet.

"That's... a... well, a girl." said Trouble Kelp.

Holly felt offended by this. "So, whats wrong with that?"

"Er... nothing."

"I thought so. Now, what's your full name, captain?"

"Sarah. Sarah McHunt," the newest female Recon officer said." I'd like to get to know all of you."

Trouble seemed to be thinking. "Oh, now I remember! Grub cant seem to stop talking about her. He says that he's never seen anyone kick butt like her." He whispered in Hollys ear. Holly nodded. Shed heard about Sarah as well. Foaly, The centuar who worked in the operations booth, had predicted that Sarah would move a level higher. He'd actually overheard Root talking about it with the rest of the council. Holly hadn't believed him then. No one really liked to listen to Foaly anyway. And Holly found no satisfaction in having the centuar be right. He was the most annoying member of the LEP. And he would never be fired, because he was the only one who could control the Ops booth. Hes the one who made the Ops booth.

Holly looked around herself. Being the only female Recon officer (besides Sarah)in the room, she was the only one who hadn't become hypnotized by Sarah's good looks. Holly shook her head. Males can be so immature sometimes.

Suddenly, a red light flickered on the wall, and Foalys face appeared on the screen behind Root.Without even turning around, Root said through gritted teeth, "What is it now, Foaly?"

"Ah, nothing, just a troll near Fowl manor," said Foaly. Root turned around so quickly he nearly fell over. Foaly was the only one in the room who laughed. Because he was the only one in the room who was irreplaceable. "Don't worry, its not heading towards Fowl Manor. If it were than we would worry, wouldn't we? No, its heading toward the Hound Estate. So we can take our time."

Holly shivered as she remembered what the Hound children had done to Haven not long after Fowl's mind wipe. She did not want to be the one to help the Hounds. They could protect themselves.

"No, civilian, we can't take our time, because if Fowl sees the troll some memories will be triggered!" spat root.

"I know that, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered contacting you. Actually, maybe I would've ..."

"SHUT UP! Okay, McHunt, this is your chance. Go up there and make sure the troll doesn't cause any damage. Kelp, go round up a few more boys and attempt retrieval. Short, you make sure Fowl doesn't see any of this.LETS GET GOING, PEOPLE!"

Holly sighed and put on her helmet. This wasn't going to be easy.

Outside Fowl Manor, Dublin, Ireland

Holly flew over Fowl manor. Sheilded, she hovered outside Artemis' window. Artemis was typing on his notebook PC.

"Whats he typing, Foaly?" asked Holly into her helmet mike. She heard typing in her earpiece.

"Nothing about the People, but I cant say that its not interesting. Its his diary. His birthday is tommorrow, ooh, he hacked into the Hounds bank account. . . ah, he thinks that they wont notice 2000 pounds are missing? Theyd notice if a penny was missing, hes a mediocre, not the kids his fathers inviting over..."

"Alright Foaly, that's enough. I'll make sure no one. . . wait, Foaly --"But a stone was thrown at her head before she could finish her sentence. Right before she slipped into unconciousness, she heard cold laughter that couldn't have been Artemis.

"Should I throw it?"

"No, I see something. I think it's a fairy."

"Where? I don't see it"

"It's shielded."

"Then how can you see it?"

"There's a slight haze outside Fowl Juniors window. Probably checking if he regained his memory yet."

"Oh, I see it. Should I throw the rock now?"

"Okay, but aim accurately, Sam, we don't want to witness breaking glass."

"K, sis." The two people watched as a fairy fell to the ground.

One of the voices broke out in cold laughter.
