A/N: In this chapter we are introduced to two characters, both of who will be easily recognized. I'll have chapter five and six out soon, most likely second week of October.

Ch. 4 Grey Hemmings
It was early in the afternoon in the windy city also known as Chicago.
The wind suddenly picked up and blew papers out of people's hands,
animals began making noises and movements that hinted of a terrible
fear. Even the people grew a little colder, even the ones who were
busy sipping their hot chocolate, or coffee while looking at the
newspaper. Anywhere you were you could here the sounds of cars
honking, people shouting, and dogs barking in the background. In fact
it was pretty much a normal day in the city. However for two men it
was the beginning of a change. A change that could eventually change
the fate of the world for good or evil.
The first man was known as Grey Hemmings. Grey Hemmings was
what you would think of most middle-aged men. He was the age of
38 and worked for a man named Cal Sars age 57 who had a thick
white beard and stood 6'4. Grey however had a thick gray beard and
was around 6'3 in height. He worked in a secret organization that was
known only as Intech, and made more money a year, than most people
would ever see in their entire lives. Intech outside of its workers was
thought of as a small company that sold furniture. However it really
pried into the lives of the most suspecting criminals and tried to find
incriminating evidence against possible suspects. Currently they were
looking into the business of the Fowl family in Ireland. If they found
anything they would blackmail the criminal and hope to receive large
amounts of money, or they would go to the police for those who
didn't pay up. In fact the CIA knew about their organization and
allowed them to do what they did. The CIA was corrupt, however, as
was the FBI who wanted twenty-five percent of all the money they
make in a job. Yes, the governments were corrupt and with enough
money Intech could hire the CIA, FBI, or even a group of assassins if
they wanted. Grey Hemmings however worked for a different reason
than money. Grey never had a family his mother Val and his father
Owen had died at the hands of an assassin who wanted them dead
because they were known whistleblowers. His mother was found
having leaving a small letter addressed only to him. He opened and it
read:
My dear Grey,
I know how hard it is for you now that we are dead, but ever since
you were born we knew you were special. You see as much as this is
hard to say we are not your real parents. Know one ever knew who
your real parents were for you see we found you one night on the side
of the road. We don't know how or who put you there, but we
decided to adopt you right away. You know that we love you and
have always tried doing good even when there was a risk, we hope
you follow in our footsteps. You have a purpose in this world, and it
must be very great indeed. Remember do good, help others, and you
can save the world one small step at a time.
Val Orson
From that day on he decided to help others. He found a job with
Intech when he was 22 and began working, even if it was corrupt he
still needed money. After a while the president Cal Sars himself took
a liking to him and paid him most generously as well as confided
secrets with him. Within the first year of working he made around a
million dollars and after Cal took a liking to him he mad over ten
million a year. He didn't keep all of it however, he saved around
twenty-five million for himself incase he ever had kids or wanted to
travel the world. The rest he gave to various charities and other
organizations which he donated every month to different charities
around the world and always under a different name or no name
attached.
He walked into the building smugly and quietly when all of a sudden
a chill went up his spine, he suddenly began shaking non-stop and his
eyes cleared a foggy misty color and then he slipped into
unconsciousness. Luckily one of his coworkers witnessed the whole
thing and went for help. Anyone who saw what had happened thought
that he was probably dead and were scared. No one had ever seen a
seizure like that before and it didn't help that when the ambulance
came his body began glowing with a vibrant light and his beard and
clothes turned white, so naturally the coworkers began to think it was
a chemical weapon of some type. He was rushed to the hospital
almost immediately. If anyone had bothered to disturb Cal in his
office, they would have discovered the same thing happening to Cal
whose nickname in the company was Sharky.
Please review and let me know what you think so far. Also if anyone likes the Legend of Zelda I am beginning a story when Artemis Fowl Characters get transported to land of Hyrule. It is called Artemis Fowl and the Spiritual Stones and I need help deciding what Fowl characters I should include. Any help would be greatly appreciated and you may find yourself in one of my future stories.
