Chapter 6

Same note as all the others

More fussing. Finally Holly opened Artemis's box. Although Artemis wasn't really one to get mad, his face showed different. Much of it was red and Holly could've sworn she saw a bit of steam coming out of his ears. Artemis Fowl mad. That would be an interesting situation.

"Holly, kindly get a hold of Foaly and find out what is going on here."

"Okay, mud boy, but don't let my fun get you mad." Holly said reaching for the communicator. " Foaly, we're here. Any way of getting us to LEP headquarters with out people going into a frenzy?"

"Let me see. I could make it say in the data base that Trouble brought you guys down for something. That would make you happy wouldn't it Holly?"

"Foaly!" Holly yelled while her face was turning bright red. People might think she was the daughter of Root or something. " We are stuck in a terminal with fairies, and what not, staring at us like we're trolls in cages-"

"Well, you probably look like it, yelling into a little computer. I'll send Trouble in five minutes tops. Too-ta-loo." Holly looked like she was about to explode. Raising her arm to throw the communicator to the ground and smash it into little itty-bitty pieces, then vaporize those pieces with the gun.

"Holly, I don't think destroying the communicator will help things." Holly lowered her arm, not very willingly though. Artemis had to help it along. "Okay, so what's going on?"

"Trouble's coming to get us and drop us off to talk to Foaly."

"How long?"

"Five minutes to-"

"I'm here." Trouble gloated, walking up to them. "You guys are lucky that I was patrolling the terminals."

"Yes, aren't we special" Holly murmured as they walked out side.

"Sadly, we have nothing to drive so we'll have to walk."

"Could the day get any more fun?"

Walking might have been a mistake. The second they walked out, people started staring as if they had two heads. Three people came up and asked if the People had been discovered and the alarms didn't go off. Two people asked to see Trouble's badge. And one person at the sight of Artemis ran away screaming, shortly followed by running into a building.

After walking through chaos, distress, and just plain rudeness. They arrived at LEP headquarters. Foaly was at the door to greet them. His face had the look of smugness and worry, all swirled into one.

"About time you guys got here." The centaur said. "Luckily for you guys, Sool had to leave. Said something about top-secret business. But I think he'll be back soon so let's hurry our slow selves into my office."

" Nice to see you too, Foaly," Artemis said with just a hint of sarcasm. They entered LEP. Walking down to Foaly's office was just as bad if not worse, because now the people who were staring had guns. What fun! Foaly opened up the swooshing door, with lots of little buttons, codes, and stuff to his office.

"Has anyone ever told you, you're a bit on the paranoid side?" Trouble inquired. Of course, he had never been in Foaly's office before.

"Yes, but usually when they tell me that, I tell them that when humans discover the people, not due to any of my stuff by the way, that I will laugh at them in my safe little box."

"Very amusing, Foaly. But can we get down to business?" Holly asked.
