To Yuffie Paine: Hey the loveis being kept secret (at the moment, I might put a spoiler at the end of the chapter)

To AgiVega: About the spelling, I do sometimes forget to proof read my work so I'll try from now on -

To Fearsomdiety: Ok, The Sacha thing is: Artemis had no bodyguards because Butler retired and Juliet went to America to take off her wrestling career and Artemis needed a bodyguard so is parents hired Sacha and the others (which shall be introduced sometime soon) to protect him. They have been his bodyguard for two years so he kind of knows her a bit and if your friend walked in with a bleeding head you would be nice to her to! And who said it was going to be a Sacha/Artemis pairing? I'm keeping the romances secret! For the moment.

To HikaruOfArrow: hey thanks, I think it's cool too!

Chapter 3

Sacha cried out in surprise as she fell to the floor. She turned over and flipped herself up and looked at her attacker. He/she was about 5 foot tall and was cover entirely in black. She gave him a roundhouse kick and he fell to the ground. She looked for the light switch and turned it on. As light flooded around her she grabbed a knife and turned around to face her enemy.

Holly watched as Sacha fought off her attacker. She watched her point the knife at his throat. She watched how he tripped her and then how they fought again. She certainly knows how to handle herself, she thought, as she observed her stance and movement, trying to remember her style, for later use.

As she did this she did not see the person coming up behind her. She felt the pain before she even heard the bullet.

Sacha whirled round as she heard the shot. A small figure lay before her, blood pouring out of a wound from her gut. She ducked as her two attackers came running at her, fists raised. She hit them both in the back and then ran to the figure on the floor. She seemed to be breathing and she started to take off the person's helmet.

Artemis, hearing the shot, came running down the stairs.

"Sacha, what is goin-, "Artemis started, bewildered, but another gunshot, this time aimed at him, sounded. He ducked and Sacha ran and kicked the gunner behind the ear, knocking him unconscious.

" Sacha, are you all right," Artemis shouted, as he ran the rest off the way down the stairs.

"I'm fine, though she isn't," Sacha said running to Holly's side. She removed Holly's helmet and placed it behind her. Artemis gasped.

"What?" Sacha demanded. "What is it?"

She didn't get her answer though as Artemis fell to the floor, unconscious.

Holly groaned and turned on to her side, expecting to see her own room, as she opened her eyes. What was there though was quite different to her own room. She was in a four-poster bed and everything was neat and tidy, very unlike her own room, which was quite messy. She sat up in the bed trying to remember how she ended up here. Suddenly it came back to her, the mission, the attack, everything. She lifted up her shirt (she had been undressed and put into a very Mud Man looking and smelling t-shirt) and inspected her wound. Her magic had done the trick, as all that was left was a round, white scar, which would be gone in a few days. She looked at the clock beside her on the table and gasped. It was 10 o'clock in the morning!

Holly looked about her and saw her green LEP uniform hanging over a chair in the corner. She quickly got herself dressed and then walk to the door and poked her head round it. The coast was clear and she slipped soundlessly out to the corridor. She walked down the stairs, looking out for her helmet and weapons. She jumped, as she felt music come from below her. Heavy metal or rock perhaps. She walked over towards the door it seemed to be coming from. It was slightly ajar so she pushed it open and saw more stairs. All these bloody stairs! She thought to herself and began to tread cautiously down them. She entered what looked like the Ops Booth down in Haven. Computer and machines everywhere!

She walked over to a computer and saw all the rooms in the Manor. Apparently the security centre had been brought down here. She looked at the other computers, most looked like they were downloading files, but the last one had Windows Media Player on it. Mud Men, she thought, they use such old technology! The playlist ran down the right side; Headphones President, Lost Prophets, Linkin Park, Nickelback were a few on it.

She continued and found even more stairs!

" D'arvit, you'd think Artemis would have a less amount of stairs than this!" she grumbled, but proceeded down them just the same. At the bottom she came across a door. She pushed it open and walked through.

"Good morning Captain," said a cold voice and she instantly cursed her self for not checking to see if her shield would work. Apparently not.

She heard the door close behind her.

"So you're the Captain I keep hearing about," Sacha said and smiled. She held out her hand "Normally I wouldn't to this, so consider it yourself lucky, I'm Sacha."

"I know who you are," Holly replied. She turned to Artemis, "So I see you've regained your memory."

"Sacha would you please turn off this awful racket, I've got enough of a headache," Artemis moaned not replying to her comment.

"Hey you came down here. You knew I was training and I always listen to music when I train," Sacha responded

The doorbell rang, but no one moved.

"Sacha, are you going to get that?" Artemis asked her, but she just kept staring at Holly.

" Artemis, as much as I've heard about her I'm not leaving you alone with her," Sacha said.

"Sacha I'm perfectly capable of decided who I wish to be alone with, now go answer the door. I think Juliet was coming home today with the others," Artemis said and waved in the direction of the stairs.

Sacha stared at him, then walked over to the stairs looking extremely pissed off.

Artemis stared after Sacha for a few seconds then looked back at her.

"Well Captain as much as I am intrigued as to why you are here, I'm rather hungry. So as Juliet and the others shall be wanting breakfast, I think we can discuss business over breakfast, don't you?" Artemis said.

Holly thought about skipping breakfast, but her stomach told her otherwise.

"Well, if you insist," she replied, trying to sound as calm as she could, even though her heart was beating against her chest. Why am I so nervous, she asked herself, it must be the prospect of food...

(Well! I've finished what to you think? You still haven't told me whether you want Butler to come back0o. So R&R )
