Chapter Eleven

Holly sighed, the weekend at last, she slumped down into the car.

Butler looked curious...what had been up with Artemis these past couple weeks...wait it had...already been a month...

"Artemis, are you feeling okay?" asked Butler.

"Yes of course why do you ask?" replied Holly.

"I don't know, you seem to have more free time on your hands, And you've been with the faries alot lately, and who are these Aki and Yata people Juliet mentioned to me?" said Butler.

"Oh...Aki and Yata are good friends of mine, not the smartest people but they have an idea for their future, and the faries hm? I haven't noticed, Foaly just needs me for alot of things these days," responded Holly.

Butler sighed. Something was going on that he didn't know about.

"A case?" asked Artemis.

"Not a exactly, a friend of Holly's named Raven," responded Foaly.

"Raven?" reapeated Artemis.

"Yeah, Holly and her are like sisters. Raven's a halfbreed, which is sort of different. Her mother was a human and her father was a fairy," explained Foaly.

"So it's a murderer mystery case on the request of Raven?" asked Artemis.

"No, by the LEP, we suspect someone murderered her bestfriend Sanza," replied Foaly.

Artemis sighed.

"Bring me Holly and something for my headache," he said.

"Right away Master Fowl," said Foaly.

"Okay, so why do you need me?" asked Holly.

"Bussiness is bussiness, and it seems like you dear friend Raven's need me...or how should I say US," replied Artemis.

Holly yawned.

"Raven eh? And this is for what reason?" she asked.

"A murderer mystery, her friend Sanza was murderered," explained Artemis.

"Ah, Sanza, I remember now... There was also her, me, Raven, Sheeta, and Mei," said Holly in a pondering voice.

"Then those are my suspects, all except you...only because I know there's no way you could murderer someone and be in Haven at the same time," pointed out Artemis.

"Okay, just so I know I'm not on your evil mailing list," began Holly.

"Whoever said I had an evil mailing list?" asked Artemis.

"Every criminal mastermind has one, learn the tricks of the trade Fowl," replied Holly smirking.

"I'm not Jon Spiro and Opal Koboi so cool it!" exclaimed Artemis looking rather peeved.

"Oh well, when you're older you'll see," said Holly.

They headed off to downtown Haven, where a dead body would lay and a hidden clue you remain.

"Oh Holly it's so good to see you!" exclaimed Raven hugging her bestfriend.

"Yes you too," said Artemis.

Holly was going to die laughing any moment.

"Oh and you brought a boyfriend, how wonderful! A human too. I'm very impressed with you Holly Short," said Raven.

"Um...Artemis isn't my boyfriend," replied Artemis.

"No, we're not even together, we're here to help your friend, and I might be some help," replied Holly.

"Oh I see, you're that kid Artemis that Holly endlessly talks about," said Raven.

Artemis looked shocked.

'I'll kill her.' thought Holly.

"Oh I do?" asked Artemis.

'He'll be next.' thought Holly's innerself.

"Oh yes, don't you remember your conversation? Hm? Love never dies my friend," said Raven walking into the livingroom and into the bedroom where a couple officers stood examining a dead girl on the floor. The girl, who had obivously been Sanza was laying on the floor, her flaming red hair spread everywhere on the floor, her blue eyes were still opened even though she was dead...

"She's obviousily been sufficated," said an officer.

"Lemme take a look," said Artemis.

"Hmm...I need to check her surroundings as well if you don't mind," he stated.

"Of course Captian," said the head officer of the group by the name of Graud.

Artemis searching for the carpet...and then found a bottle...a flask of something.

"Think again you guys," he said.

'What do you mean Short?" asked a lower rank officer by the name of Nori.

"Does this have anything to do with this?" asked Artemis holding up a bottle of red leaking nail polish.

Raven examined it.

"I don't own any polish like that, you know that Holly, I never do wear the stuff," she said.

Holly nodded.

She had known that for years.

"Your friend Sanza was poisioned by nail polish, was anyone in the house?" asked Artemis.

"Well yeah, it was a homecoming sleep over. Your cousin Ryoma was there....Sheeta, Sanza of course, me, and Mei," replied Raven.

"You guys, I need them all in this bedroom at once," ordered Artemis.

"Yes sir!" replied Graud.

Holly smirked as Artemis and her went outside.

"So, you've became your own detective," she said.

"I've read alot of books," replied Artemis.

"Obviousily so Jimmy Kudo," teased Holly.

"Who?" asked Artemis puzzled.

"Obviousily you don't watch TV Fowl," replied Holly.

"So what was all that about? You endlessly talking about me?" asked Artemis.

"Ph, Raven was just joking! Chill out kid! Like I could ever love you!" exclaimed Holly, laughing.

Artemis didn't buy it though...

"Holly we're having a long discussion after this case," he said.

Holly rolled her eyes.

"Idiot, they're here come on," said Holly walking off.

'Would you stop that? You're changing the subject.' Artemis thought,

((A/N: YAY! Next chapter we'll meet Ryoma ((you already know him from my previous fic)), Sheeta, and Mei. Hmmm....I wonder who the mysterious killer is! You'll just have to wait and see!)
