Disclaimer: Don't own nothin'
See I told you I'd get this one out quicker, ok so it wasn't a week later but I'm sure you'll get over it. Big shout out to my beta again, thanks heaps. Anyway here it is…

The next day they were back in Sydney. Mulch wasn't too happy about all the flying though, he wasn't a good flyer. He had gone through three barf bags in the hour and a half fly from Wagga Wagga to Sydney.
"You know green really isn't your colour, Mulch." Holly said sniggering
Mulch gave her a dirty look "Shut up Holly. I have a bag full of puke and I'm not afraid to use it."
She shut up after that and only laughed at him behind his back.
Two hours later they were standing on Glebe Point Road with absolutely no idea where they were going.
Holly was almost out of patience. "I told you we should have stopped and asked for directions."
The other three looked offended.
"Why? I know where I'm going." Butler assured her.
Holly rolled her eyes, bloody males. It's the same in every species, they can never admit when they're wrong.
"Look, this is just pathetic. I'm going to ask someone. Excuse me," she called out to a nice looking man walking past. "do you know how we can get to Charles Street?"
The man smiled and said to Holly. "What you need Charles Street for? My place is much more interesting."
Holly just gave him a look that said 'you've gotta be kidding'. The man just grinned even more before he caught sight of Butler behind Holly and decided it would be best for health if he stopped trying to get into the short chicks pants.
"Uh, it's down that road a bit. Hold on I'll draw you a map."
Three minutes they left Glebe Point Road and were making their way towards Charles Street with Holly sitting smugly in the back.
"See, wasn't that easier than trying to be all macho?"
Butler grumbled something that Holly took as an agreement.
Five minutes later Butler pulled up outside Seventeen Charles Street. No one moved from the car for a while.
"We should get out and see if she's there." Butler said quietly.
"We should." agreed Holly, equally quiet.
"Then lets go" Artemis said, abruptly getting out of the car before he chickened out. "Holly and I will go and say we're friends."
The house itself was nothing special. It was a red brick house with probably about three bedrooms and was probably built in the 1970's. The garden looked like someone had tried to tame it but had given up after almost losing an arm. All in all it looked like every other house in the street.
Artemis took a deep breath and pressed the door bell. He could hear the annoying chime echo down the hallway and a second later, footsteps making their way towards the door.
A woman who looked like she was in her early thirties opened the door and look enquiringly at Artemis and Holly
"Yes?"
"Excuse me, is Ally in?" Holly asked politely
She shook her head. "Sorry, you just missed her. If you leave now, you might be able to catch her at the bus stop."
Holly nodded. "Thank you."
They turned to walk away before Holly grimaced and turns around "um, do you think you could give us directions to the bus stop?"
---
Five minutes later they were at the bus stop. It turned out that the bus stop was on Glebe Point Road but Holly didn't want to go through being lost again. Bloody males!
When they reached the bus stop there were four people sitting on the bench. One was an old man with grey hair and a walker -fairly safe to say that that one wasn't Ally, the second one was a pregnant woman who looked in her early twenties, the third one was a guy who looked about sixteen and he was talking to a fourteen year old girl with black hair with red streaks through it, a small purple nose stud and a barely noticeable scar across her right cheek bone.
Artemis stood there and stared at her for what seemed like an eternity before she sensed someone looking at her and gave him a look that said 'what?'
Artemis started to make his way over to her before Holly stopped him.
"You can't just walk up to someone at the bus stop and tell them you're their long-lost twin. It'll freak her out and she'll never talk to you again."
Artemis shook his head and came to his senses, "Of course. We should wait until she gets back and tell her then."
"Sounds like a plan."
---
Six hours and 4 coffees each later they were still waiting.
"She's not gonna come." Mulch said. He wasn't having the great day, first there was the flying and now he was sitting in the hot Australian sun burning even though he had gone through 6 bottles of 30+ SPF sun screen and he now smelt like a burnt hamburger patty covered in bin juice. He was still burning even though he was sitting inside and he was thoroughly pissed off.
As if to prove him wrong the bus pulled up and the same girl who they assumed was Ally got off without the guy she was talking to when they first saw her. She looked over to him he saw a hint of recognition in her eyes and took that as an invitation. He took a deep breath and stepped toward her.
"Apollo Robertson?" he asked.
She looked at him suspiciously. "Yeah"
Artemis stuck out his hand. "I'm Artemis Fowl and I'm your brother." the words sounded strange coming from his mouth.
She raised an eyebrow just like he would. "Really?"
"Yes, we were separated at birth but now I want to get to know you and possibly even convince you to move to Ireland with us."
She stared at him, eyebrows around her hairline before saying "Fuck off."
Holly groaned, Artemis was being an idiot. Whatever happened to the whole not-ambushing her-at-the-bus-stop thing?
"Uh do you want to find a place for us to sit down and have hot chocolate or something?" Holly interjected.
Ally adjusted her sight line to Holly. She was looking at them as if they were mad, they probably were.
"No, I don't want hot chocolate. I want you get the hell out of my way."
Ally had a glint in her eyes that almost dared her to stop her and Holly never walked away from a dare.
"I think you should listen to what your brother has to say." she said, crossing her arms across her chest.
"Would you stop calling him that? He is not my brother. I have no family."
"Yes you do, you're looking at it."
Ally looked at them disbelievingly. "Christ, what the hell is wrong with you people?"
She pushed past Holly and started walking away. She didn't get very far though because something was blocking her was. That thing was Butler. She looked up at him for a second then punched him in the nose, or at least tried. Butler, being a master in martial arts saw it coming and grabbed her fist as it was coming towards him. From there he hoisted her up onto his shoulder and carried her to the car. She fought him all the way, kicking, hitting, biting and screaming, making it impossible for the rest of the street not to notice her. A big looking guy came up and asked if there was a problem
"OF COURSE THERE'S A FUCKING PROBLEM, I DON'T DO THIS KIND OF THING FOR THE HELL OF IT EINSTEIN!" She yelled at him, still trying to beat the crap out of Butler.
"Look, I'm really sorry about this, I'm her father and she's run away from the Children's Hospital in Randwick. I don't know how she even got this far away. I really am sorry, she hasn't been herself lately."
The man was convinced and looked sympathetically at Butler. "Yeah, I know how it is. My cousin is in Randwick hospital with anorexia and she acts like that all the time. Its hard but you'll get through it." He gave him a pat on the shoulder and walked away, all while Ally is screaming her head off, yelling "HE'S LYING, FOR FUCKS SAKE, HELP ME!"
Butler managed to shove her into the car ad put the child-lock on the doors.
They drove around for twenty minutes before Ally calmed down and stopped trying to break out and for twenty minutes it took Holly, Artemis and Mulch to pin her down. Butler was just thankful that they didn't run into any cops because he would have a hard time explaining why he had a teenager restrained and yelling in the backseat of his car.
Finally they pulled over in a small alleyway in Annandale. Ally had calmed down and now looked as though she didn't know whether to go psycho again or start hyperventilating. Eventually she decided to just sit there and throw them dirty looks every now and again.
After a while Artemis spoke up. "I'm telling the truth, you know."
She just gave him a look like she wanted to kill him. "Prove it"
"Fine then we will. We'll take a blood test; by tomorrow it will be certain that we are brother and sister."
Butler took his cue and pulled out of the alley and set off towards the closest hospital. Ally just sat there, not believing what was happening. It was a normal Saturday morning, she did her usual thing -except the car thing but that wasn't her fault- and all of a sudden she's been kidnapped by a giant, two midgets- one of which smelt like burnt bacon covered in sunscreen- and a guy who was probably about her age but looked like he'd never seen the sun. As if her life wasn't screwed up enough already.
Ten minutes later they were at yet another hospital. The only difference was that this was a private hospital and the nurses were nicer and more inclined to take bribes. This was proved because the nurse who took their blood also took the five hundred dollars offered to her to speed up the test. She promised to get it back to them by the end of the day. Artemis thought it was very unlikely she would be able to get it done in that time but for once he didn't say anything.
Actually none of them said anything except Mulch who was grumbling about his skin being burnt to a crisp. Personally Holly had seen worse and thought he was overreacting but if she said anything now it would interrupt the awkward silence she was enjoying so much.
Next to her Ally was sitting there thinking about how much shit she was in. Maybe Monro sent these guys, then she really was in trouble. But how did he get then onto her so quickly, she only did it this arvo and why are they taking her to get a blood sample? None of this makes sense, especially this Artemis guy. Ok, sure she could see how they might be related, they had the same colour hair and the same eyes and nose but that was where the resemblance ended. Surely the Robertson's would have told her if she had a twin. They hadn't hid the fact that she was adopted, for which she was thankful but they were still her parents in every way that mattered and parents didn't keep stuff like that from their kids, did they?
On the other side of her, Artemis was thinking too. Mainly about what an idiot he was but there was some other thoughts floating around in there. What if he'd screwed up and this was the wrong Ally Robertson and he'd dragged this feisty girl all the way here for nothing? What if she laid charges? It would be out o her rights to do so, this was all against her will and at the moment she looked like she wanted to kill all of them with her bare hands.
Finally after several attempts at conversation and two escape attempts the blood results were back. Surprisingly it only took them four hours but by that stage none of them could stand the tension in the room any more.
An old and grandfatherly doctor came out and called them into his office. Artemis and Ally both took deep breaths and stepped in, both aware that the rest of their lives were tied to what that pathology test said.

Ooh suspense eh? Actually you probably know what's going to happen but I've started this and I hate not finishing things. Do you like Ally? My beta asked me what arvo was so I though I'd better explain. Arvo is short for afternoon, maybe its one of those weird words that only Australians use. Oh and while I'm here I thought I might point out that I only got about four reviews last time. You read it, you review it, its not rocket science everyone. Anyway, till next time… Pip
