Butler, witnessing the event, tried desperately to run to his charges side but only caught him as he fell. His eyes were wide with panic, something that he never did. The man now held the pistol to Butlers head.

"Don't try anything smart." His voice was cold, colder then Artemis' had been.

Mulch, seeing his chance, snuck around the guy to ambush him but before he got the chance, a something happened.

Artemis coughed blood and groaned. He was in pain that was clear. Suddenly blue sparks erupted from his chest. Some traveled up Butlers arm before he put him down to let him heal himself.

The man dropped his gun, afraid. Mulch saw his window to disarm the man and rubbed spit in his face. Don't you just love the sedative components in dwarf spit? He was knocked out instantly.

The healing took sometime. Once it was complete, Butler immediately checked his charge to make sure he wasn't injured. Of course Butler knew that the healing checked all that but he was only human.

"Butler, I am fine," said Artemis as he stood. He didn't look fine. Blood was on the entire front of his jacket and chin, some slid off the side. He wiped it way only to smear it and make everything worse. He didn't seem to worry too much about his outfit as he looked down at the man. He took a good long look, etching the details of his face into his brilliant memory.

"Now let us see how badly this company wants you Mulch," said Artemis signing for a shocked Butler to pick that man up for interrogation.
