Chappy 3
~*~*~ Hey people, in this chappy I'm actually gunna tell you how old Artemis is.
I kow I should of done it B4, but I'm Lazy!!
And my repyer:
Ssenkard Tnelis- I hope I got ur name right and thanks so much! I know it's
a bit confusing but a bit more will later be explained, I have only recently being able to get the third book and I don't always quickly reply!
I just had that next chappy on a file.
Tase took out the disk and placed it in a breast pocket. Now to get out. 'You right?' the ear voice asked 'Yeah,' sighed Tase 'no biggy.' She started unlocking the door. Pulling a small gas grenade out of her pocket Tase slipped open the door. Throwing the grenade in the middle of the room, immediately a lime green gas flooded the room. Several Lep offerers started choking on it. Tase jumped to the roof and started scuttling across the roof again. She jumped down and out the door. Not stopping for anything she dropped her Rifle and sprinted for the ladies room. She almost laughed o herself how weird it sounded. Shot's flew past her head.
'SH!T!" she screamed ducking, 'Relax, shots are to unnerve not kill, get out of there Tase, they want you alive!' The voice inside her ear was desperate. 'Why alive?' she asked a bit more relaxed now she knew her chances of getting out had just risen. 'Why not?' Tase shrugged, alive suited her fine. She was fast, halls like this were her usual territory, and she was as fast as any fairy that knew this place like the back of his hand. A sudden sharp pain flew through the helmets visor. Tase doubled over. 'More warning please,' she moaned urging herself to go again. 'For what?' 'Argh!' Tase groaned again falling to her knees, as the shock gave her what felt like an extremely bad mindfrese. 'What the? Take it off! Take the helmet off!' The voice screaming in her ear didn't do much good. She ripped the helmet off, there must of being some signals sent to it. Tase turned around. Eight fairies stood, their weapons posed.
One smiled and said to the microphone in his helmet. "Gotthim,"
Tase smiled at the little men. One thing about the old LEP helmets was that they could self-destruct. One of the reason's they got the new helmet was because fairies were constantly setting them off accidentally and either hurting themselves or a-wearing the enemy of their whereabouts. Pressing a button with her thumb Tase threw the helmet at them lazily. It took them a few seconds to realize it was going to blow up before they retreated back. Tase turned her back and ran with her fingers in her ears. She knew how much damage those things could do. It's hard to describe what happened next, to say it 'blew' up would be an understatement. First it sent out an electric shock, and then, it self-destructed, blowing tiny pieces of metal through the air like throwing knives. And last but not least it caught fire, not a normal one, the flames were green because of the fumes and burned hot enough to melt gold. Deciding not to stay for the show Tase turned and ran to the ladies room. Damn that sounded strange. 'Get Him!' someone screamed, the voice was more feminie, defiantly the female officer. Tase shivered as she ran, she could hear footsteps coming from the other direction, and if she didn't get there in time she'd be surrounded.
'Get HIM!" Root screamed behind Holly, she gave a small snort of disapproval, she had already said that. She glanced back at the guy they were following. The first thing she noticed about the figure was he was as tall as a mud man, but his stretcher wasn't as muscly as say butler or Atimis, even though Artimis wasn't really beefy and Butler was ten times the size of Holly, the figure's figure didn't look right. Second that he seemed quite fast for a mud man, he ran on the balls of his feet and when ever he turned a corner he seemed to skid until he was in a perfect position. But Holly knew no matter how good he was; he couldn't out run her, not with Foaly's voice buzzing in her ear anyway. 'The left broom closet will get you to a departure station that been abandoned for... three yeas now. I'd say that's were he's heading' Foaly paused. "What?" Holly asked waiting for a reply. "It's the only escape rout a...a mud man could take." Holly nodded and slipped down the passageway. A mud man? In the peoples territory? Holly could help but wonder if it were possible, oh well she'd find out shortly.
Holly Sat in the craft ready for launch, she gripped the worn joystick tightly wondering if it was safe. It was old, and probably not built for high speed. Then again, it was built to withstand magma flows so it had to have some grunt.
"Umm... Holly?" Holly shivered at Foaly's uncertain voice.
"Yes?"
"I wouldn't bother waiting, that guy'll be half way home by now. And I mean that if he lived in china." Holly sighed; he must have caught the earlier magma flow.
"Any way, I'm gunna look over the images and see if we can figure this guy out, plus Root seems to have a good idea what were dealing with."
Tase popped open the laptop, inserting the disk she dialled on her mobile phone,
"Hey Chris,"
"Hey," a voice mumbled over the phone, "You got the files?"
Tase nodded her head without replying and E-mailed the files.
"Gottem," the voice seemed to crackle, "Now go to bed, you've got a science test tomorrow," Tase snorted, she had just being somewhere none of her classmates would ever go, put herself in danger, for what? A file or two? And now he was telling her to go to bed?
"Are you okay?" Luke asked noticing her temper by the silence, Tase looked over herself, touching a newly formed burn mark on her arm.
"Nothing that won't heal," She muttered,
"Whatever, lock the doors and I'll see you soon." Tase sighed and hung up the phone, looking around the park she was sitting in for anyone suspicious. She had just come out of hole in the ground that belonged to fairies. Who wouldn't be interested? She sighed and headed off to Chris' apartment. She'd just have to wait to see if he came back alive. But she was tired, her body earned for sleep and she did have a science test tomorrow.

Artemis flipped open the laptop on his lap, no doubt his parents would be home, could anyone really get past his father? Sure he had changed over the years, but Artemis doubted he would let someone slip his guard.
As the car pulled up in the driveway Artemis checked for any signes of break-in. The first and most obvious thing was the front door was hanging wide open. Second, there was a pair of tyre marks that didn't belong to his Mercedes. And the third thing was the empty space his father's car should have been. It was three years after the Jon Spiro incident; of course this had been wiped from the 16 year olds memory, along with the memories of his butler, Butler, and his sister Juliet, and Artemis' powerful mind had detected something, what it was he had no idea, it was jus like an annoying fly buzzing in his brain, one he couldn't get rid of. Artemis cautiously stepped out of the car. Walking through the old building he headed for the computer room, his father had wanted to keep that, all he wanted was a normal family, but his old instincts nagged at him to keep at least a small watch. As Artemis walked he kept close notice if there were any give-aways of someone being there. There were plenty. It seemed whoever had come in didn't really have to much thought of being caught, or was really, really stupid. Artemis couldn't but help notice Butler was walking closer to him as well. His knees bent and his arms wide, just in case. Artemis walked into the computer to find it already boosted up, with the security cameras views on screen. He replayed the tapes watching closely as a figure jimmied open the door, had a bit of a wonder around and a good look at some of the Fowl portraits before he finally found the computer room, searched up something on the computer and left. Now, if Artemis could remember the things he used to track fairies he might of being able to track the file the figure opened. But, of course, he didn't remember anything about the LEP or fairies and most of his computer knowledge had been wiped. So he just starred in thought as he re-watched the figure nance out with a CD ROM, and one of his files. He sighed and put his fingers to his lips. An idea snapped to him as he focused the outside camera onto the figure. The camera could process the figures faster then the human eye, used for humming birds and so, but he had had it installed for shielded fairies. Shielded fairies? Where'd he come up with that? Something in the back of his mind begged to be remembered, but with his entire IQ, it did him no good but to ponder and get even more frustrated. "If I don't sound absurd," Butler asked making Artemis jump slightly. "Why did we get that camera?" Artemis sighed, so he wasn't the only one pondering. He sighed and looked back to the screen. If only he could remember, we'll, at least someone was trying to help him...
Tase rubbed her nose as the files zoomed across the screen, a search engine, a dam good one at that. She flicked her head back to look at the door as she heard the locks click. Chris walked in with a small smile upon his thin dry lips. Tase drew her attention back to the screen.
"How'd it go?"
"I got Sarah to help, just gave him the note and left, you should of seen his face," he gave a small laugh, Tase had once thought it was impossible for his grime pale face to show glee, but anything's possible. Sarah was a girl Chris liked to use for personal meetings, no one knew how she was, which was great, and she was a fantastic actress, plus they didn't have to worry about been followed.
Tase dropped her eyes down the screen.
"I found some files on fairies, the kid must have E-mailed them to the site and asked for a later reminder."
"I though all his stuff was wiped." Chris pointed out leaning over the teenagers shoulder.
"All the stuff on the NET, the site was closed down, copyright or something, but they still have the file, I'm just having a hard time tracking it." Chris gave a snort of laughter,
"Your hopeless." He motioned for her to get off the chair. Tase did so without complaint, hacking was Chris' stuff. She wandered off to the couch and curled up amongst the white silk pillows.
Chris smiled to himself as fairy codes poured over the screen, along with writing explaining the codes and a diary. He read it with most satisfaction. Laughing at Artemis' one mistake, he had let it out on the net. Stupid kid, he thought to himself. As hopeless as Tase. He glanced at the sleeping girl, thought she looked innocent enough, she had a death-defying secret. One Root and Foaly had just figured out.
