CHAPTER THREE
"Artemis, I hope you know what you're doing."
The boy ignored Butler's comment. He was furiously typing on his laptop. "This is bad. Very bad," he said, turning pale as he looked up at the giant manservant. "Using Dr. Cornelius's theories I've been able to create a fairly close estimate of Alisto anatomy. I thought it would help us locate the spies. But I'm not sure if I like what I'm seeing."
Butler frowned and ventured a look on the screen. The creature he saw looked exactly like a human. A very short human. "Everyone looks like that, Artemis. I hope you can figure out some other differences. Or this alien mission is already over."
"Ah, Butler, this is why I am the genius and you are not. Look closer."
Butler pressed the zoom button. "Oh my god," he breathed.
It was the ears. Petite little ears. Pointy. And oddly familiar….
"Artemis, is this possible? Aliens among the People?"
The boy looked strangely calm. "Butler, I think the People are the aliens. And some of them want to destroy us."
