Anyways, please review, as that is what encourages me to update.
Haven City, Lower Elements
Haven was in frenzy. The biggest jewel store underground had been robbed. And what was worst, LEP was being blamed for the entire incident. The LEP headquarters was only two blocks away from this prominent store, and yet they had still been unable to apprehend the robber, or as they thought, "robbers".
Commander Trouble Kelp sat at his desk, trying to keep composure. He had been the successor of Commander Sool, the "idiot who was willing to let the eighth family die out" as the PICS E (Police Investigating Conduct Squad of the Elements) had put it. (AN: Anyone get the PICS E reference?). But this was not proving to be the easy first decade that Trouble had been hoping for. With the demons now also residing in the Lower Elements, there were many more duties for the LEP to perform. The last thing he needed was another big case, which would blemish the face the face of the LEP name even more than three different commanders in 4 years had done already. But Trouble couldn't put his finger on it. How could these robbers get their hands on a key card, knock out a fully grown pixie and two massive goblins in armour, then steal one single gem, and escape the building in the five minutes that it took the LEP to get to the building and seal off all exits? The media wanted to know this too, which had added even more to the poor commander's troubles. His interview had not gone well.
"Commander Kelp, what is the LEP planning to do about this robbery?"
"Commander, why didn't the LEP respond in time?"
"Commander, does the LEP have any leads to the suspects? If not, why not?"
Trouble had been forced to lay all cards out on the table, and admit that he knew nothing. Somehow, the robbers had disabled the cameras in the rooms, so that nothing was on tape. Before he could bask in his own troubles even more (AN: No pun intended), there was a knock on the door, and Captain Holly Short entered.
Fowl Manor
Artemis quickly had a shower, washing all the dirt off his body. Then he lay down on his bed, staring up at the ceiling. To anyone who didn't know him, it would look simply like the boy was day-dreaming. But in fact, there were hundreds of ideas flying around in Artemis' mind. These included a plan to help his parents remove all they pain which they had felt during his absence and his other big challenge, to call Minerva.
Just as he was mapping out his plans in his mind, Butler entered the room and said, "Artemis, it's time for dinner."
"Thankyou, Butler," Artemis replied and he followed Butler out of the door. As they walked down the stairs into the dining hall, Artemis asked, "Butler, did anyone else but my parents hear the fairy stories?"
"No, I told no-one else, and they were too distraught to mention anything that made them think of you…"
"OK," Artemis replied, "that will make it easier for me."
Sorry for ending it so abruptly there, but I need to go and do some other work now. Please review, as that is the way to get more updates!
