Artemis Fowl and the Coastal Crisis
Disclaimer: I do not own Artemis Fowl, Eoin Colfer does, and I worship the ground he walks on for creating my hero that is Artemis Fowl the Second. Oh how I wish little Arty was mine… and yet… he's not. So don't sue me please. J
Chapter One
Tremors in the Works
Holly slurped down an energy drink as she walked back to her quarters after her shift. Her eyelids were drooping shut; fairies were coming from all over to complain about the recent exposure of the People to the humans. Trouble had just sent Holly home after several fairies nearly mobbed her. Needless to say, not all fairies were too happy with her. In fact, Foaly and Trouble seemed to be the only two that did not glare at her while she walked by. She sighed as she neared her home. She dumped the cup in the trash receptacle where it would be recycled.
She glanced over her shoulder and sharply returned her gaze in front of her; a few LEPrecon officers were following her. She quickened her pace and continued towards her home. After another glance she realized there were more than she first saw. Her pulse began to race as she turned a corner and neared the door to her home. They followed and she spun around. They raised their guns and her anger was replaced with shock as she raised her hands.
"What do you want!" she growled as the other officers closed in on her. "I'm a LEPrecon officer, I demand to know what's going on!"
"You are hereby under arrest for conspiring with the number one enemy of the People and obstructing a LEPrecon mission," one of the fairies reported as the put cuffs on her.
"I don't believe this!" Holly muttered as the other officers escorted her into an armored car for transport.
Holly sulked in a chair in one of the many interrogation rooms within LEPrecon headquarters. After what seemed like an eternity the door opened to the room and Trouble walked in with a frustrated scowl on his face. He plopped down in the chair opposite of her.
"I uh… bet your pretty mad about now," he started and Holly growled as she leaned back in her chair.
"Mm, yea," she said lifted up her hands to show the cuffs. "Conspiring with the number one enemy of the People? I'm guessing that's Artemis. But he's not the number one enemy anymore! And I never 'conspired' with him."
Trouble only shook his head. "No, Holly. I know you don't think he's dangerous to us, but the fact is, everyone else does. It's been decided that your last mission should have been completed. You shouldn't have healed him, and he should have died."
"I shouldn't have healed him? Shouldn't have healed him! Don't they understand what he was doing?"
"It's been decided that it was his own fault, and he deserved the consequences of his actions. Also further back, he would not have survived if you hadn't saved him in New York City. If he had died then and there, the People would have been spared a lot of drama, and the Mud Men would have never been introduced to the Blue-Rinse," Trouble added. Holly was shaking.
"No, no, no, Artemis is different now. He wouldn't do anything to hurt us, he's changed," she argued and Trouble sighed as he stood up.
"Holly, you're the one that's changed. We've heard your arguments and you will be held until further notice," he said and began to walk out.
"Why, Trouble? What's really going on?" Holly muttered from underneath furrowed brows. Trouble started out the door without looking back.
"The mission you foiled in Berlin is going to continue, and you are not to interfere this time."
Author's Note: Hm... I hadn't planned on making a sequel... but I got so many requests... okay, well, two. But that's a lot to me:-) Well, I just randomly got the idea for this plot today, so... yay! I apologize for the shortness of this chapter. I hope they get longer. I think they will. Okay, on to work on Chapie Two.
