'Mulch, can you hear me?' Holly questioned over her helmets mike.
'Loud and clear. By the way, why are we here?'
'Because, Artemis is the only one who can help us with this job.'
'Alright, well hurry it up. My chin hairs are frozen solid.'
'Ok, fine.'
Suddenly, a huge figure walked out of the door. He was huge. And,
That's weird, Holly thought. He looks just like… 'Butler? Is that you?' Holly was amazed. Just the person she needed to see.
'Wait Holly, you're the person sneaking around?'
'Yup, I need to talk to Artemis.'
'Sure, come in. Wait…'
'Ya?'
'Isn't Mulch your partner?'
'Yup'
'Then where is he?'
Indeed, Mulch was still hiding in the bushes.
'Come on out, Mulch…' Holly shouted over her mike. 'It's only Butler.
Mulch carefully clambered out of the rose bush.
'You guys should get rid of those.' He said while looking at the rose bush in a hateful way.
'I'll tell Juliet.' Butler said with a smile playing across his face.
They entered the house and Mulch automatically went for the kitchen.
'Where are the carrots?' He said as he opened the fridge.
'Make yourselves at home' Butler said.
'I'll send Artemis down.'
'Okay.' Holly replied, who was also heading for the kitchen.
'Artemis… Do you read me?' Butler said into the walkie-talkie.
'The "prisoners" are here.'
'Good man I'll be down in a minute.' Artemis replied.
One minuet (exactly) later
'So where are they?' Artemis as he strolled down the stairs.
'In the kitchen' Butler replied. Artemis walked over to the kitchen and looked in.
'Holly? Mulch? What are you doing here?'
'Ah Artemis. We need to talk.'
A short while later
'And that's why we need you, Artemis.' Holly finished.
'Okay, I can figure out a plan but it's going to be tough.'
'What do we need to do?'
'First we need to first Mister da Nola.'
'Mo Mitaly.' Mulch said with a mouthful of carrots.
Rome, Italy
Our crew arrives in Rome in Artemis' private jet.
'Okay, da Nola's instructions to his house are complicated, but I think we have to go right in front of the Caesars…'
A few hours (and many complicated directions) later, in front of Giovanne da Nola's house
Ding Dong…ding dong…ding dong…
'Who is it?' a low male voice shouted threw the door.
'It's the "investigators" ' Holly responded. Mulch was covered in sun block and clothes. Dwarfs hate the sun.
'Well come on in.' Holly and the rest filed into the house.
When they got in they saw a plump sprite, fluttering nervously up in the ceiling.
'I'm so glad you came. I've been so worried since I lost my Emerald Eyes.'
'Why are you afraid?' Holly questioned in a kind and comforting voice.
'I'm afraid those mean sprites will come back and steal my Ruby or Sapphire Eyes.'
Holly thought and then started to talk, but Artemis cut her off.
'You mean you have more of those precious stones.' Artemis inquired.
'Yes and don't get any ideas, I've doubled security.' da Nola replied with a bit of anger in his voice.
Alright, sir' Holly said while glaring at Artemis.
'Can you just tell us anything you know about these vandals?'
'Yes I can, actually.'
'One was tall and skinny. And I mean tall for a fairy. He was like Four feet. The other was fat and short.'
'How did they come in?'
'Well the tall one threw the fat one threw the window. Then the fat one rolled all over the house stealing all my fake stuff I place there in case of burglars. But then he realized that it was fake and found my hiding spot. He crashed into me and told me to give him the Eyes. I had no choice I opened my special safe and only gave him the Emerald Eyes. That's what happened.'
'Alright. We have enough information. Thank you.'
'Bye.' Giovanne said.
