Chapter 7

Same note as always

Foaly told them about how weird things had been happening lately. From Artemis's parent's and Butler being mesmerized, to strange disappearances of mud men world leaders. And some places like forests are having odd sightings. Not the usual UFO sightings either, because when the eyewitnesses were questioned again they had no memory of seeing the UFO.

"That's odd," Artemis stated, "but I don't see how they are connected. Unless aliens are invading and I think Foaly would know long before if that was happening."

"Thank you Artemis. You know, no one here appreciates my skills." Just then a loud ruckus was heard 3 floors down and through a supposedly sound proof wall.

"A useless lead! That centaur better have insurance, what in the d'arvitwas he thinking! Just wait till I get a hold of him!"

"I thought you said he left, saying he had important LEP business to take care of." Holly said.

"He did." Foaly replied with some worry in his voice. " I think you guys might want to hide. Sool doesn't seem in one of those miracle forgiving moods."

" I'm going to agree with you there," Trouble stated. Taking a few sheets of cam foil off his belt and telling Holly and Artemis to go under the desk while he hid behind a shelf. Sool's already loud voice was getting louder. Without question Holly and Artemis took the piece of cam foil and hit under the desk and Trouble hid behind the shelf. They had good timing because the second Trouble was hidden, Sool busted into the room, his face rather red. Someone could have mistaken him for the late Julius Root.

"HORSE BOY! THOSE NEW COMUNICATORS YOU GAVE ME SUCK! THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO KEEP ME FROM A HEADACHE FROM TALKING IN DIFFERENT LANGUGES, AND HERE I AM FEELING LIKE MY HEAD IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE!"

"Did you ever stop to think that might be because you are yelling loud enough to shatter glass?"

"Don't toy with me donkey boy. What does the LEP pay you for? Making little toys?" Sool yelled walking up to the desk and examining the parts and pieces on it. " And what's this? A little toy?" Sool asked picking up little spec most people would have passed by.

"My new invention called the freckle-cam. Stick it on your face. and instant camera. Much easier than the lens cam, and a lot harder to not-"

" I don't care what it is!" Sool yelled throwing the spec. "Just fix the bloody communicators. By tomorrow." Sool whispered in that kind of voice that would haunt your dreams. And slammed the swooshing door behind him.

"Nice guy," Artemis sounded. Getting out from the cam foil and from under the desk. "No, really."

"Yeah, I miss Julius. That least he had a reason the yell at- HEY! The freckle cam is missing!"

"Really Foaly. Is this the time?" Trouble asked.

"Yes it is. That little camera was the only one I had and it was going to revolutionize the LEP." Foaly said searching through the mess on the desk.

"Foaly, something's beeping on the screen." Holly mentioned looking at the screen. Foaly looked up from his evasive search to look up at the computer screen.

"Now how did that happen? The freckle cam has been turned on." Foaly walked up to the computer and started his LEP famous lighting fast keyboarding. An image looking as if someone was walking down the hall appeared. "That FEIND! He criticizes my work, then he steals it! How dare he!"

"Foaly, I don't think he meant to." Artemis told the centaur. "For one thing he doesn't even seem to notice it. I suppose it is pretty small."

"I need some way to get him fired." Trouble said, rubbing his hands together. "Let's watch it."

An: Sool has such an attitude. The Holly Trouble is coming up soon.!
