A/N- Ok, I was asked if I was planning on making this and A/H story and the answer is no. It's not an anti-A/H story, I do like the pairing but I won't make a story like that. I rather read other peoples versions of A/H, I'd end up making it to gushy or to cheesy. Please don't forget to review .

Complications

Fowl Manor Dublin Ireland

"Alright, what's going on? Are we going to go try to get this guy?" asked Mulch once everyone was assembled in Artemis Fowl's library. His library was an interior room, it was Butler's idea. He always preferred the interior of the house for briefings of Artemis' plans. They were almost always illegal and Butler never knew when the law may be at the window.

"I believe that this is not a lucid as it is portrayed," began Artemis, "I have devised a plan to get solid evidence against the Corporal Butler Neelloc, although I do not believe the times is right to apprehend said suspect."

"Alright, can I get a translation? I think that my ability to understand English is leaving me," muttered Mulch put off by Artemis' sophisticated language.

"Basically what Artemis said was, he thinks that there might be a trap. We're only going to watch and get evidence against Corporal Neelloc to night, and from that evidence create a new plan," explained Holly annoyed by Mulch's inability to keep up with Artemis' vocabulary.

"Well he could have just said that," mumbled Mulch unhappy about being lectured by his business partner.

"Anyway," said Artemis glaring at Mulch and Holly for interrupting him. "I do think that it is most probably a trap. The entire underground knows your on the surface, who ever is supporting this illegitimate endeavor is not a fool. We will have to be careful."

"Artemis, do you really think that you should use this opportunity as a stake out? I'm pleased that you seem to be taking our safety into consideration, but if, as you say, this is the last projected location should we not try to apprehend the suspect before they get the opportunity to use this weaponry?" asked Butler slightly confused.

"Old friend, we can not just barge in without information. For all we know this could be a clever, and well plotted revenge scheme of Opal Koboi," explained Artemis.

"That's impossible," stated Holly flatly, "Opal Koboi is locked up with maximum security. There is no possible way above or below the earth that she could possible have gotten out."

"Ah, similar to last year? When Koboi was considered safely unconscious? Apparently fairy technology isn't advanced as everyone thinks," stated Artemis with a slight smirk at the part about inferior fairy technology.

"Oh, and staking out the possible crime seen will help you figure out if Opal is behind this?" asked Holly slightly miffed about the fairy technology cut.

"Yah, that's what he said pony boy!" said Mulch into his communicator that had been connected to Foaly. Mulch had decided to make things more interesting by telling Foaly what Artemis had said about his technology.

"FOWL!" shouted the centaur nearly defining Mulch.

"I think it's for you," mumbled Mulch smiling despite the pain in his ear.

"Hello Foaly," said Artemis as he started putting pieces together.

"How dare you insult the people's technology that way!" cried Foaly angrily.

"It took you hours to figure out that Opal Koboi was escaped after she began to assault the LEP and the human world. You knew about the cloning and you still only used DNA in your testing. Poor planning, Foaly," explained Artemis as he continued to work on his project.

"Fowl, if you don't stop mocking my technology I won't tell you what I've learned that should relate to you," pouted Foaly.

Artemis glanced at the screen mildly interested in what Foaly had to say. "Go on."

Foaly glared at Artemis, but he decided not to complain know his information was not only important for Artemis but Holly and Mulch. "I was just ordered, by commander Sool himself to place monitors on every form of transportation in your possession. I suggest you take public transportation to America.

Police Plaza, Lower Elements

"Major Viyaya, my office now!" shouted Commander Sool dignified.

"I'm on my way," grumbled Viyaya. He had been demoted after the incident with Opal Koboi a year ago for showing insufficient support for the new commander by being willing to follow Foaly's hunch before Commander's orders.

"What would you like Commander," asked Major Viyaya.

"Major Viyaya, I'm well aware that you are unhappy with my decisions, but against my better judgment I've decided to give you a chance to redeem your stature and put your self back on the track to regaining your formal position of commander," said a smug Commander Sool.

"What do you want me to do?" asked Major Viyaya narrowing his eyes.

"I want you to catch Short, Diggums, and, most importantly, Fowl in the act of stealing from a secure facility. We have tagged all of there methods of transportation so you will easily follow them," answered Sool smirking at Major Viyaya's eagerness to get the case.

"I'll take the case. How long do I have to get together a team and head out?" asked Major Viyaya trying his hardest to ignore his commander's attitude and trying to conceal his feelings about the mission.

"Oh, you don't get to choose your team. I have it chosen for you. We are sending you up in an hour," answered Sool smugly.

"Yes, Commander," answered Major Viyaya through gritted teeth.

As Major Viyaya left the commander's office he bit his lip looking very nervous. He didn't want to arrest Holly or any of her friends. Unfortunately Major Viyaya didn't see another way out with out becoming a top suspect.
