Chapter 1

Artemis Fowl the second sat concentrating deep in thought. He was on a public plane much to

his displeasure. However if he was to avoid the constant searches by the London police he

would have to make it look like he was just going on a vacation. Luckily no one interrupted his

train of thought. They were all much too afraid of him and his manservant known as Butler. If

they hadn't of heard of the legendary Fowl's or Butler's yet they knew to be afraid when he had

a little chat with his manservant. They all went a seemingly pale whitish color almost like himself.

For you see almost anyone could tell that Artemis Fowl was the closest thing to a vampire

anyone had ever seen. Even the paled in comparison to what this person looked like.

The people were even more afraid because he was only a teenager. At the age of fifteen he

spoke like an with a better vocabulary than a dictionary and more knowledge than an

entire library of books. In fact there was no one who even came close the amount of knowledge

he possessed. He had confused the greatest medical minds and mathematicians ever born. And

sent most physiatrists packing their bags for a nice long vacation and they never expected to

return. Butler his friend and bodyguard would scare the day lights out of almost anybody who

saw him. Butler was in most peoples opinion a human bear and almost everyone had heard of

their and the Fowl's reputation. The Fowl's had been known for their constant criminal

activities. However since the recent return of Artemis's father Artemis Fowl the first they had

seemingly gone legit, but that didn't stop the London police from investigating, for they were

curious and hopeful fools. If you asked Artemis's opinion he would just give you the glare of all

glares and tell you to mind your business. However he really thought that the London police

were stupid fools hoping to catch any of the Fowls doing something illegal and that no one could

ever come close to outsmarting him. As of this moment Fowl was thinking of his next and

probably illegal plan. The news had recently showed the world of an ancient and lost hidden

building, part of a city back in who knows time. At first people believed the building to be part

Atlantis due to the riches of knowledge beyond belief. However that was not the case as it was

above ground and it was really only one room. This one room though contained a massive

amount of old books telling of a forgotten place. However most of the readings were unable to

be read as they were in a language unlike any other. However Artemis believed he could find the

translations and to do that he would need to go to the ruins and steal preferably a dozen or

more books if possible for him to translate. In fact that was where he was going at this very

moment. He could easily have taken his jet and been there within a few hours, however this was

supposed to be a cover. Riding in a public plane with people whose IQ would and couldn't

ever become half as smart as he was.

He noticed a man in a bright blue jacket wearing a yellow hat. Artemis saw through the mans

disguise at once. He was being followed by one of The London police officers. Probably sent to

spy on me. Artemis thought eyeing the man with great distaste. It doesn't matter I'll lose him at

the next stop.

In fact Artemis's private jet was waiting for him at the next stop and was piloted by none other

than Butler's sister Juliet. He had a plan to lose the man. In fact it was so amazing that the guy

would probably think he lost Fowl do to his carelessness not the fact that Artemis had set him

up. Artemis thought of all the knowledge that was stored in the library and what he would find

when he got there. Lost in his own mind of thought he didn't notice that they had arrived at the

next stop until Butler gently nudged him.

"Sir. The plane has stopped." Butler said quietly.

"Yes, Butler I noticed that. However for my plan to work we have to make sure we don't cause

any unwanted attention when we get off. Be sure to grab the bags and meet me near the gift

shop." Artemis told Butler who repeated.

"Yes Sir. I'll meet you at the gift shop." Butler said knowingly. The gift shop was actually outside

by the jet but the agent following them didn't know that. In order for Artemis's plan to succeed

he would have to take the bait Artemis was giving him. If he instead followed Butler they would

have to initiate plan B and that could cause a few problems.

Butler left and the agent had to make a decision. Who to follow? He thought unconsciously. The

man was known as officer Nick Knack. He d when his fellow officers called him that when

his real name was Nick Knot. He figured he would show all of them by catching Artemis doing

something illegal. I should stick with the boy he is after all the main target. He was actually

thinking it would be more strategic to follow the manservant however he figured he would be

dead if he followed him. "I'll take the boy." he ally said out loud and with that he went to

follow Artemis Fowl criminal mastermind extraordinaire.

Artemis took his time losing the guy. In fact his liberators would be waiting for him at the gift

shop. Artemis glanced over his shoulder and saw the guy quickly start looking at one of the gift

shops items. Artemis almost smiled at the thought of the agent going back to work empty

handed. Artemis took a quick left and then glanced to make sure the agent was far enough

away. At the moment he was staring at the prices for one the fast food restaurants so he wasn't

watching when Artemis went into the baggage department and locked the door behind him.

Nick was busy looking for something to eat, he was very hungry yet he knew he had to keep an

eye on Fowl. He glanced over to where Fowl was, and started to grasp the air because Fowl

was gone. He went over to the spot he was last seen and tried opening the baggage door. It was

locked. He mentally cursed himself for being so stupid and then decided to wait by the gift store

for him. He was extremely surprised and pleased that both Butler and Artemis were there. It

wasn't until later that he would find out that he had been duped. So he went and continued to

follow Artemis's double.

Artemis Fowl sat contemplating on how to steal the valuable information he was going to get. He

was on his private jet heading to small port near the sea and they had lost the official

easily. After all nothing on this planet above or below could outsmart him. Artemis cleared his

throat and said, "Butler would you be so kind as to tell me that everything is on schedule."

"Artemis, everything is going according to plan. You will be able to infiltrate the building with

most ease."

"Good. This could be one of the greatest finds ever. And I will be the one to translate them.

Who knows what knowledge or power will be discovered?"
