Disclaimer: don't own nothing… well 'cept the stuff I do

I am SO SORRY this took so long to get out but this is the third time I've written this chapter. The first time I'd almost finished then we got a new computer and so I lost it, the second time the new computer screwed up and lost half our stuff, including my story. So, third time lucky and if this doesn't work I'm gonna jump up and down like I psycho. So sorry about the timing, I swear this is the longest it's going to take.

The alarm went off at 8:00am and by 9:00 they were out the door. They arrived at Narrandera Hospital at 9:10 and headed straight to the maternity ward.

When they walked through the swinging doors they were immediately surrounded by people racing around like crazy people. The only reason they didn't check to see if they had come to the right ward was the fact that Narrandera didn't have a Psyche ward. They walked over to a nurse at a desk who looked slightly less harried than everyone else.

"Excuse me miss" Butler said when they reached her " I'm Sergeant John Bennet and I was wondering where I could find Dr Wells."

"I'm not sure, hold on and I'll check. Hey Alice," she called out to a young nurse rushing by "do you know where Neil is?"

"Same place I'm going, Sarah Robertson went into premature labour and needs an emergency caesarean" She said before running into a nearby room

Nurse number one looked at them apologetically "sorry, he's unavailable at the moment. If you really need him I suggest you come back around 1:00 and you might catch him on his lunch break."

Butler nodded "Alright, thanks for your help." He said as he turned to walk out the door

"One more thing" the Nurse called out as they reached the door "is that an Irish accent?"

Butler nodded "yes, I'm from Ireland"

"Well its sexy "the nurse said, winking. Butler just smiled and walked out the door.

When they were outside Holly, Mulch and Artemis sniggered

"I've heard a lot of words to describe you, usually big and scary spring to mind but sexy is a new one to me." Holly said snorting

Butler Just smiled once again "I have a way with the ladies"

---

At 1:15 they entered the hospital lunch room and located Dr Wells from Butler's information. He was around 45 and was starting to get grey hair.

The four of them walked up to where he was eating a sandwich and Butler sat down across from him

"Dr Wells?" butler asked. The doctor nodded in conformation "I'm Sergeant John Bennet and I want to ask you a few questions about a Mrs Angeline Fowl and her children you delivered around 14 years ago"

At the sound of Mrs Fowls name Wells paled and his jaw dropped open. Not a pretty sight considering that he was in the middle of chewing his ham and cheese sandwich. He quickly regained his composure and asked "what about them?"

"We have reason to believe that you murdered one of those children" He paled even further which Artemis didn't even this was possible. Butler leaned over to him and said "Heres what I'm going to do. I'm going to leave you with my associates while I get your car and then you're going to tell me everything I want to know"

The doctor sighed "fine, I knew this was going to bow up in my face sooner or later."

Butler stared at him for a while longer before he got up "keys." he asked, they were given to him "stay here I'll come and get you when I've gotten the car. Oh, and I should warn you, my friends here may be small but all three of them are trained in no less that four martial arts so if I were you, I wouldn't get on their bad side." He walked out the door with Dr Wells looking at him like he was the incredible hulk. Probably because he looked like him, only Butler wasn't green.

The Doctor sighed again and looked at Artemis curiously "you're the other twin, aren't you?"

"Yes, Angeline Fowl is my mother"

"I thought so; you look like your father you know. And you've still got that black hair and pale skin you had when you were born"

Artemis nodded and tried to pretend he cared.

Three Minutes later Butler was back with the car. There was only one problem, it was a Ute. Artemis looked at it disbelievingly "what is that Butler?" he asked

"That is my car; there are only two seats though so three of you are going to have to sit in the tray"

"But isn't that illegal?" asked Artemis desperately

Holly snorted "since when has being on the right side of the law worried you? Just get in the car Artemis"

Sensing that he was fighting a loosing battle Artemis sighed and climbed gingerly into the tray.

Two minutes later Artemis was bouncing around in the back of a rusty Holden Ute and defiantly wasn't putting it on his ton ten favourite pass times. So far he had a rip in his pants, dirt everywhere and a bruised backside.

Finally, after four minutes of this they arrived at the silver-key café where Butler stopped the car and they all piled out.

"I.Am. Never. Doing. That. Again." He said pausing after every word to emphasise the point

"Sorry, suspensions shot to hell" Dr Wells apologised while Mulch sniggered. Artemis gave Mulch a look that made his stop and they walked into the silver-key.

The five of them slid into a booth and Dr. Wells began his story.

"It all seemed like a normal day in the hospital," he began "sounds cliché, I know but it really was. Around 2:00 that all changed though. I was doing the paper work for a patient when I get paged. I raced to the delivery room where I was told that a Mrs Angeline Fowl was in labour with twins. I did what I get paid for and 9 hours later the Fowls had two new members of their family, or so I thought. I was satisfied with my work and was just about to go home when Mr. Fowl pulled me aside and offered me a million dollars to say the female half of the recently born duo was still born."

"And once again it comes down to money" Holly said rolling her eyes "what do you mud people find so fascinating about being rich?"

The doctor looked at her confused "what people?"

"Please continue with your story" Butler interrupted before Holly could answer. The doctor obliged

"Now the thing you have to understand here is that I had three young children at home and children aren't cheap to look after. Especially if one has leukaemia. Yes, my daughter Eliza was diagnosed with leukaemia when she was three and doctors may be well paid but the medical bills were extraordinary. I didn't see much choice. A million dollars is a lot of money and it would get me and my family out of debt with enough left over to make sure that my daughter got the best care available. The decision I made has haunted me for years but when I look back I don't know how I could do it any other way."

"But what happened to the other one?" Artemis asked desperately and even though he hated the way he was asking he couldn't stop it. Damn emotions, he though, they complicate everything.

"I gave the girl to my friends who lived on a farm about twenty kilometres out of town."

"Lived?" questioned Holly "as in past tense?"

Wells sighed and there was a pain in his eyes that made Artemis' stomach drop

"Yes, lived. They were killed in a car crash two years ago, it was a foggy morning and they ran straight into a tree. They were killed instantly. Fortunately Ally wasn't in the car at the time, she was going to catch the school bus later on in the morning."

Artemis sighed "oh thank god. What's Ally short for?"

"You're parents insisted that even though they couldn't keep her they wanted her named after the Greek God, Apollo despite the fact that Apollo was a male."

Artemis turned to Butler "I thought her name was Ellie"

"Her middle name was Eleanor so your parents shortened that because both names were pretty ugly. The reason they named her Apollo Eleanor was Apollo to fit in with your name and Eleanor after your great-grandmother"

"Whatever," Artemis said dismissively "where is she now?"

Dr. Wells was starting to look uncomfortable "Well the Robertson's didn't have any other family so Ally got taken in by DoCS and was sent to a foster family in Sydney. The last I heard of her she wasn't having a great time but she was alive"

"DoCS?" Mulch asked, slightly confused

"The Department of Community Services. They take care of things like welfare and things like that"

"Do you know where exactly she is now?" Butler asked, getting impatient for the point.

"Seventeen Charles St, Glebe. Her and my daughter write to each other."

Artemis almost shouted out loud. A break through, finally!

Butler nodded and stood up "thankyou Dr Wells, you've been very helpful"

They all walked out, leaving Wells sitting on his own in an empty café.

"But wait sergeant what about a police report? Officer? OFFICER?" He yelled at them as they exited the silver-key

"So," Holly said when they were out "off to Sydney again?"

"Sounds good to me"

AHHHHHHH! STUPID BLOODY COMPUTERS! I HATE THEM SO MUCH! In case you're wondering that's me jumping up and down like a psycho. Yes, that means it didn't work. I sent it to my beta AND I COULDN'T OPEN IT AGAIN. So I'm sorry if there's any typo's or editing mistakes, they're all my fault and don't blame my beta Dark Princess. Thanks for editing it though, even though it didn't work. We'll fix it up later.

Don't forget to review. Oh and sorry to all the Eleanor's out there, no offence meant but I needed to change the name and that was the only way I could think of. Yes, I do realise it was still pretty dodgy so sorry but it was the best I could do.

Well to next time (which I swear will be next week sometime)

Ciao
