The Bad News
Artemis's head was reeling, "but as he read on his grief was raised just ever so slightly,
Police Highway report,
A crash between a small car and an 18 wheeler
NOT YET READY FOR PUBLIC RELEASE
From witness accounts, the 18 wheeler slid on the wet road and crashed the car between it, and the highway barricades, Artemis Fowl the first and Madame Fowl were killed. One younger girl is in ICU the only identification is a blue diamond tattoo.
As he wiped up the tears streaming down his face Butler Muttered one word, "Juliet."
"Yes," said Artemis, "That must have been the surprise my parents were talking about. They must have gone to pick her up from the airport. I'm guessing she completed her training and was returning home to guard me considering your... condition."
"It's ok Artemis I've learned to live with it."
"Glad to hear," said Artemis sincerely. Artemis though to himself, I'm feeling things I have never felt before, those experiences have changed me. Is it for the better, or for the worse though?

Haven, Ops Booth
"Foaly we're going to have to get out of lockdown mode..." said Sool, who was being exceptionally calm for once, "If the human knows our entire history, he will know where to find us, and our LEPrecon's technology is our only hope... Hey wait a minute! How do you know it was a mudman?"
"Simply really," Foaly replied as he restored power to the city, "The only fairy who could do that is Opal Kobi, and she's behind locked bars! Plus the ping came from some where in northeast U.S.A."

Holy's head was swirling during the trip to the LEP base. Why did they want her back? Was she in trouble? Mulch didn't steal from a client did he? Was Artemis back? Was Artemis back? That question let her with an odd feeling, because no matter how much she denied it, she missed the mudboy.
Even though the lockdown was over there were still a lot of fairies demanding to know what happened. Holy decided it would best to slip in an entrance that only officers know about, and was greeted by Sool.
"You were always so predictable cap... I mean Miss Short. Just so you know I'm against this whole part concerning you and that mudman..." At the word mudman her heart skipped a beat, could it really involve Artemis? Was that possible? The news startled her so much that she didn't even retort. In fact all the way to the ops booth she didn't say a single thing, which was a rare thing for Holy...
"Holy let's get straight down to business," said Foaly who was preparing 2 bags and an assortment of gadgets, "We need you to get Artemis and contact me. We have a mudman problem and we need his skills, and most importantly, his aboveground contacts. This mudman knows our entire history, and we don't know for sure what he wants yet but were afraid it might just reveal our existence." He inserted an Iris-cam into Holy's eye, then locked a red blinking watch around her wrist "Sorry but one of Sool's conditions, this will let out sleeping gas if Sool or I press a button, or if removal is attempted. One of my greater gadgets, but its use by Sool is questionable..." He then handed her the standard LEP blaster and a tiny brown cube, "Now this is probably one of my greatest inventions yet! It took..." Great Holy said to herself, anther rant, "...and of course I'll be under-paid and under-appreciated..."
"JUST TELL ME WHAT IT DOES!" screamed Holy who, over the years, had gotten tired of Foaly's rants.
"Well," said Foaly after muttering something that sounded like 'under appreciated' under his breath, "It is the HoloCube." He pressed a button on the cube and a small keyboard and monitor popped out. "You can use this baby to camouflage yourself as a mudman. The reversal has never been successfully tested but Sool was more than happy to make me use it on you…"
"Yeah, well what happens if someone happens to bump into me!"
"I though of that, it doesn't just camouflage, it makes you and anyone one else who touches you feel real, you yourself will feel like you've grown. Here are the instructions and 1 of my only 2 HoloCubes, so don't break it!" With that said Foaly handed her the cube and added, "I wouldn't use it until you were above ground, and remember it can camouflage anything not just you. These bags are full of stuff for the mudmen; give it to them and them only. You leave tomorrow…"
As Trouble Kelp lead her to her chute A thousand questions were buzzing in Holy's head, but most important was, what is going to happen? What does this Person want?
