Hey again!
Still don't own anything...
Chapter 4 -Plans
Holly and Root landed on the garden path, and turned off their shields. They walked to the front door in silence. Holly
knocked the door, and Juliet opened. "Oh, it's so good to see you two!" Juliet said. They said hello to each other, and went
inside.
"Have you found out, who did it?" asked Juliet. Holly looked disconcert at her.
"Opal Koboi," she said. "Didn't you know?"
"No."
"But how do we know, that it was her?"
"Because that the tape from the camera in Artemis's room, shoved the two fairies, who escaped from the prison, together
with Miss Koboi," said Root.
"Oh," said Holly, why didn't I think of that?
"Juliet, would you please show us the tape?" asked Root.
"Of course." Juliet turned on the TV, and it showed Artemis sitting on his bed.
Holly's heart beat harder, when she saw him.
On the screen, the door opened, and a fairy, a girl with long, dark hair, came in. Artemis turned around. He opened his
mouth, and a second fairy came in. It was a guy with short hair. He hit Artemis in the back of his head, and Artemis blacked
out. The two fairies connected Artemis to their moon-belts, and flew out of the window.
Juliet turned off the TV.
"At first we need to find out where he is," said Root.
"We know that he's not underground," said Holly. "We have placed LEP officers at every single station, under and over the
surface. There's no way down."
"But even if we're only going to look over the surface, there is a lot of places he could be." Juliet sighed. "What do we do?"
Holly thought for a while, and then she said: "We will have to think. Are there any places over the surface, where Opal Koboi
would go, if she had kidnapped someone?"
Artemis heard someone at the door. He looked up, and in came Opal Koboi. She smirked.
"Didn't we get rid of you?" Artemis sighed.
"Obviously not," she said, clearly a little disappointed, that he wasn't scared to death, because he was locked up here.
"Oh, didn't you have a good time, in Howlers Peak?"
"Shut up and listen Fowl!" Oh, now she was getting a little pissed. She had really hoped to scare him.
Artemis looked at her. "Then say something, for God's sake," he said, after a while.
"You've got really brave, my little friend. But you won't be brave, very much longer."
"What do you want with me?" asked Artemis calmly.
"Revenge little boy, revenge. Over you, over your little girlfriend, over Foaly, that stupid horse, actually over the whole LEP.
When I have you here, I can be sure, that the others will come very, very soon, to get you out of here."
"Have you ever tried to be a good girl Opal?" Artemis said.
"Hm… No." She laughed, and left.
Artemis sighed. "Oh, Holly. Please don't go into her trap," he whispered.
