I love it when you guys review.
Sincerity Inkwell: It's okay. I was never even mad in the first place. We're still friends. And your story is good! Mine is just too confusing, even for me.
Cocoaducks: you'll find out in this chapter. Or not.
Disclaimer: The lawyers are gone now so what's the point? Ah, might as well take caution. I do not own any of Eoin Colfers characters. Just the Hounds and Sarah, blah blah blah.
Chapter 6: No title
A/N: this takes place the day after Artemis's birthday.
Haven CityTrouble was still in a bad mood but couldn't help but smile when he saw Holly up and running. She had completed the ritual the night before, after convincing Sarah that she would be fine on her own, and was now as good as new.
"Ah, Captain, good to see you on duty again." Trouble said when Holly walked by.
"I feel much better now," she said with a smile. She watched as a dwarf walked past her. "Mulch! Empty your pockets!"
The dwarf sighed and flipped his pockets inside-out. Ever since hed been let out of jail early, Holly had been suspicious, and made the dwarf flip his pockets every time she saw him.
Holly watched as a half-eaten chocolate bar fell to the ground. And that was it. "Go ahead Mulch."
Mulch wandered on through the crowded streets of Haven, dodging swear toads and goblins along the way.
Holly kicked the chocolate bar in disgust." I don't get it.How is it that Mulch got out of jail early and became, well, law-abiding?"
Trouble shrugged. "Dunno."
Hound Estate, Dublin, Ireland"So, he knows about the fairies?" Inquired Anastasia.
" I think so. There are only two things I'm not sure about: Who is Mulch Diggums? Or Holly Short?" Jacob sounded confused.
Anastasia shrugged, but Rebecca jumped. "Holly Short is the first female recon officer. Mulch Diggums is a kleptomaniac dwarf that was arrested quite a few times, but has helped with several Artemis Fowl incidents."
Jacob raised his eyebrows. "You knew that Fowl knew?"
"Of course."
"Why didn't you tell us?" Asked Anastasia.
"Er, I didn't remember."
Anastasia snorted. Rebecca remembered everything.
"But now that you guys know, I think I know a way to hit the jackpot."
"Again," smiled Anastasia.
Jacob seemed curious. "How?"
"I'm just going to tell you two phase one."
"Which is?" Asked Jacob.
"Phase one is to gain Artemis Fowl's trust. And Jacob, youre the one that's going to do it. After all, you're both going to Saint Bartlebys, are you not?"
Jacob nodded. He'd learned long ago not to question Rebecca's schemes.
Sorry this chapters short, but Im having a BAD case of author's block. I've had this entire story planned through except for this chapter. Which is where you guys come in. I need something interesting to happen at Saint Bartleby's and Haven. Actually, that's the only reason I launched this chapter. Can you guys do something about my authors block problem? Everyone here seems to be very creative.
