When they landed they first saw Mulch just standing there waiting for them.

Artemis, who for one brief instant looked rather ill, approached Mulch, speaking to him for several minutes before beaconing Kira over.

"Yeah?" Kira asked worriedly. "He wants movie rights." Artemis said. "No way! Anything, anything else!" she replied. 'Well," thought Mulch, "Who was that guy? Artemis's old roommate?" "That's my brother Thom." Kira replied. "That's all I needed to know. Well bye guys!" Mulch took off. It was recorded that a half hour later Thom was mysteriously found in a tree with two broken legs.

After Kira had gotten a frantic phone call from her mother, she'd convinced Artemis that Trouble would not find her in a hospital twenty miles away (Kira giggled at the double meaning of that sentence) and had also managed to hitch a ride with a group of students who were planning on going into medical careers, and were going to tour that very same hospital. The only downside was that Mary Sue had one dream. To be a nurse...

"Is that Kira! Oh, yes it is! Kira, darling, won't you sit by me?" Mary Sue batted her long eyelashes in an innocent sort of way. Kira had no choice.

Trying her best to stifle a shriek of annoyance, she sat down.

Every one of the nursing students giggled.

It had never occurred to her, but twenty miles was a long way. Made especially long by the most annoying thing ever to be blonde.

"So, Kira. Tell everyone what your secret is to stealing super rich boyfriends?"

She took a deep breath. "Look, Mary-" she was interrupted by a long tirade about how unethical she was.

Let's just say it was a long drive.

Once they finally got to the hospital, one of the other students was kind enough to distract Mary long enough for Kira to escape.

"Thom!" Kira yelled when she found his room.

"Shh!" an annoyed looking nurse glared.

When the nurse turned around Kira stuck her tongue out at her. "Very mature." Thom commented.

"Oh, whatever." She walked to his bed as quickly as she could, grabbing hold of his hand.

"Are you sure you're OK?" she asked. "Yeah!" he said. "I feel great!" "Good." she dropped his hand, "Because I'm on a tight schedule."

Thom raised his brow, but let it drop. Part of the reason he was feeling so great was because of a little thing called Morphine, and he was rather out of it.

"What do you have to do?" he asked.

Kira paused. She had a feeling that telling him too much might be illegal.

"I have to...bake." she concluded.

Thom was too sleepy and out of it to remember that she burnt salad, not to mention food that involved actual cooking.

"That's nice..." he mumbled his eyes closing. Just then the nurse came in.

Seeing as she was on a schedule anyway, Kira turned to go.

The ride home was torture and for the first time it was a relief to see her messy dorm room. Until there was a knock on the door. 'Who would visit at 9:30p.m.?' she asked herself. She opened the door to Artemis and a cow. "We need to return this now." he said.

Unfortunately Butler could not drive them this late at night for unexplained reasons so they had to hire a secret jet driver whose name we cannot mention. He only went about 5 miles per hour so the ride would be extra long.

This time Kira did not sleep. Instead, she watched Artemis at the computer.

"What is that?" she asked pointing to a file called "secrets".

Artemis turned, raising his right eyebrow. "What do you think?"

"I was just wondering if I could read it?" she asked innocently.

He just looked at her.

Kira looked at him back. She was really good at the puppy-dog eyes.

However, Artemis was like a father with three daughters. Immune. He turned back, ignoring her.

"Remember how I said I could make you do anything I wanted you to do?" she asked him.

"I remember." he didn't turn around.

"Well if you let me read that file I'll tell you how. Then there wont be anything you wont know." she said very convincingly.

But he just shook his head. "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that I only trust one person to read that file."

"Butlers not a person he's a mountain." she argued. "Plus, I could always use my way of making you obey."

"Although I trust him, that's not who I meant. And if you used your 'way' then I would still know, and be able to resist it when you may need it more."

"Well, if I can make you do anything I can make you not resist. Duh! And, who is it then?" Kira asked curiously.

"Ah ah ah. I think that we both have reveled enough for one day. It's late, you should get some rest."

"You're not my dad. You can't make me go to bed!" Kira persisted like a little girl.

Artemis rolled his eyes, and

Tuned her out.
