Artemis stared at the object in Holly's hand.

His second mistake in two days.

It was only a small oversight. Simple. Tiny.

But even though this mistake was hardly of the proportions of the last one, it was nonetheless crucial.

Was he losing his touch? He had thought he had every variable pinned down, every possibility thought through, every response planned out.

He'd thought the same thing last time, and that was what had got him into this situation.

But it was too late to back out now.

All that was left was to hope that Jon Spiro was colour-blind.


A/N: If this is still confusing, the object in Artemis's hand is the iris cam from TEC.
