Holly ran down the hallway and banged her fist on Artemis's bedroom door, "Think you could be any slower!" "It would be nice if you didn't yell," Artemis said from behind her. She whipped around fast noticing he had changed into jeans and a blue t-shirt to match his eyes. He had a backpack and his arms crossed in front of his chest.
"Sorry," She replied taking a shaky breath, "I'm just so worried and I kinda get anxious"
Artemis smiled at her and took her hand. They started to walk down the stairs and ran into his parents.
"Where are you two going?" Artemis's father asked blocking their way.
"It's an emergency," Artemis replied hurriedly thinking his parents wouldn't say no. They did.
"It's way to late to go do anything now," Angeline said crossing her arms.
All three then looked at Holly. She looked like she was about to let open all emotions. She was starting to jump up and down, but cry at the same time.
"Please," She almost whispered despite all the energy she displayed, "We have to go"
Artemis senior and Angeline looked at each other and back at Holly. Artemis grabbed her hand and arm to stop her from falling down the stairs.
"Should we call the police, Holly?" Artemis's father asked.
"No, but I really have to go," Holly replied fast, "It's a family situation"
Artemis's father sighed and moved aside. Holly ran past almost making Artemis fall as his hand was still in hers. She got outside and met Butler who was already sitting in the car ready to go. Once they were in he drove down the driveway to the nearest exit to Haven.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Holly drove the shuttle down easily with Artemis inside. Artemis insisted it was a family matter for Holly and Butler would be of no need. Butler knew it was more than that but went back and sat in the car. Strange as it was Artemis ran into the shuttle port with Holly already firing up a shuttle.
They walked out of the Haven shuttle port. This shuttle port was one used by civilians which was usually packed, but it wasn't. Holly shivered as she walked past a deserted doll on the ground.
"There is something extremely wrong here," Holly whispered a little sadly. Artemis took her hand and she was immediately comforted.
Out of nowhere a loud voice boomed, "So you've finally arrived. Let the games begin"
Then it was gone leaving Artemis and Holly standing there. Holly looked around anxiously waiting for something to happen. When nothing did, she began towards the exit. Artemis followed a little wearily and then stopped. Holly turned around and glared at him but he just tightened his grip on her hand.
"So is that friendly or should we run?" Artemis asked looking toward the exit.
"What are you talking a...?" Holly began to ask but cut herself off when she saw what he was indicating to. She covered her mouth to keep a scream from coming out of her lungs. Slowly stalking into sight was a Blue Tunnel Spider. A tear slid down her eye as she thought of the possible things she would see around the corner.
She bit her lip and took a Neutrino 3000 and blasted an easy shot. The spider was knocked out of sight and maybe unconscious, hopefully.
"Where did you get that?" Artemis asked Holly turning to her stunned.
"I have a friend and he loves me," Holly answered running to the exit, "We have to hurry though. The only way to kill a Blue Tunnel Spider is to give it coffee"
"Coffee?" Artemis asked raising an eyebrow, following her as he turned the corner. He wished he hadn't. In their sights was a bloody gory scene. In Holly's opinion it was better than she thought, because it was only guards, "Oh my"
"If it was what I was thinking earlier than you wouldn't be saying that," Holly said taking his hand back in hers, "Lets get out of here before that spider wakes up"
They ran to the to the closed doors and opened them with Holly's pass card. Again, they wished they hadn't. Standing there was the Significant's, all six of them.
"This is just my lucky day," Holly murmured raising her Neutrino and shooting. They jumped forward but three were instantly out for the count. Holly jumped to the side and knocked over Artemis. She turned the Neutrino to hit the door's security panel. It fried and the doors swung shut, cutting off the other three Significant's way out.
Holly turned and started to walk away when Artemis grabbed her hand, "Wait"
"No," She replied angrily pushing him aside. It was his turn to be angry, "Don't you think for a minute that you are going to do this on your own. I came here for a reason. I want to help. Do you have another Neutrino"
She nodded and handed it to him, "Can you shoot"
He smiled, "I was taught by the best"
They moved on and came to a turn while the hall went straight. Holly turned the corner unexpectedly and pushed Artemis against the wall. She put a finger to her lips and whispered, "He has camera's all over the place"
Artemis nodded and she continued, "He knows every move we're making. So I want you to know something. No matter what happens be careful and don't get in his way"
Artemis nodded again and she turned around walking back into the hall. What she didn't know was that he whispered to himself, "Unless it's his way to you"
Kyle turned his chair away from his monitors. 'Holly's proving to be a bit stronger than I thought she'd be,' Kyle thought to himself. He smiled slyly, 'I wonder how long she can take this'
Holly darted around the corner sharply with Artemis closely behind him. She crept down the street closely to shop walls. She looked up at one of the camera's and swallowed hard. 'Where was everyone'
"So, what do you think he has planned next?" Artemis asked quietly, "And where do you think Foaly is in the midst of this"
Holly stopped in her tracks. She hadn't thought of that, "Your a genius!" She exclaimed quietly. She grabbed him by the shoulders and kissed him on the lips. She then proceeded to grab him and pull him down the street. After a few minutes of running they came to Police Plaza.
Holly stopped and checked the grounds. She walked up to the doors slowly and rapped on the window. Artemis came up behind her and whispered, "Even if there was someone in there, what makes you think that they would open the door for"
Hands grabbed them and flung them inside instantly, accompanied by guns in their faces. Holly recognized one of them and used it to her advantage.
"Chix," she said.
"Holly," Chix Verbal replied in a shocked tone, "What are you doing here, and with a mud boy"
"He's here to help kill my ex-boyfriend," Holly replied angrily getting up from the floor.
"Hey you, get back on the ground. The LEP says that all civilians should be inside households during these times and any civilian outside households will be..." Grub Kelp was automatically cut off with Holly shoving him over and out of the way. "Where's Foaly?" She asked Chix who was following her like a puppy, almost drooling. Artemis glared at him.
"We think he's in his OPS office but he hasn't said anything or let anyone in," Chix said scratching the back of his head, "Like he doesn't trust us or he's scared that someone will take his tinfoil hat"
"Wait, what did you say?" Artemis asked.
"Oh yeah, Foaly is really protective about having a tinfoil..."Chix started.
"No, before that," Artemis replied, "Something about trust"
"Oh, like he doesn't trust us," Chix said again in an agitated way, "I mean we go in and out of his office all day but he won't let anyone in"
They came to the door and stopped. Holly turned to Chix and smiled sweetly, "Do you think you can go check on Grub for me. I feel kinda bad for pushing him and it would make me feel better to know he's okay"
"I think he'll be okay..." Chix said reassuringly but stopped when Holly kissed him on the cheek. She smiled widely and flipped her hair, "I'll be right back"
As he ran down the hallway Holly looked the door up and down, trying to figure out how to get in. Artemis grabbed her arm and turned her to face him. He kissed her hard on the lips and she stiffened a minute in shock, but kissed him back wrapping her arms around his neck. They let go of each other when light spilled out from the open door.
"I thought I'd never see the day," Foaly said sarcastically a forced grin filled his face. He grabbed their arms and tried pulling them in. He then closed the doors and sat down in his seat taking an angry bite out of a carrot.
"What's going on?" He asked Holly a little angrily.
"It just happened," Holly muttered, "I mean it's not like I was keeping it from you. We just kinda"
"No, not Fowl. I knew that one was coming," Foaly said easily turning to the computer, "I mean who wouldn't want to kiss you Holls? I actually mean your destructive boyfriend, who's been disrupting Haven. Then one who is working with Sool"
"What!" Holly exclaimed loudly, clamping her hands over her mouth.
"That's why I wouldn't let anyone in here," Foaly said covering his face with his hands, "Some of the LEP officers are on his side. They are working for Kyle"
Holly kicked a cabinet, "I knew he was evil. I just didn't think he was stupid enough to take over Haven"
She sat down, "And Kyle. How could he do this? Why"
"Well you did put him away for a while," Foaly said, "Plus, I think he really liked you"
She glared at him but her eyes started to water. Her entire outlook changed in a moment though. She started to take a couple of deep breathes and stood up. Her eyes for full of determination and she stood confidently. She walked over to the weapons rack and took down some things.
"Who do you know so far that is working for Sool? Do you know who isn't working for him? And what kind of power do you have?" Holly asked quickly.
"I have the camera's to the city and the camera's he set up, though I can't take them out," Foaly said and she nodded. He printed off a list of names, "Here are the officers that are working for him that you should try to take out. Anyone else and you should use your better judgment. I have the iris cams you two can use and I can call to the surface for any requests"
"Call the Butlers and Trouble," Artemis said quickly taking another weapon from Holly, "but tell them not to use the Tunnel we did because of the Blue Tunnel"
Foaly nodded and replied, "I'm sorry you guys, you do know that I cannot come with you"
Holly nodded and kissed him on the cheek, "But you do your best work here and we can't kill him without you"
"Wait a minute," Foaly said grabbing Holly's arm, "You can't kill him"
"Just watch me," Holly said in a muffled voice, which made Artemis a little scared.
"You know what kind of trial they can put you on for that," Foaly argued.
"I don't care what they'll do," Holly yelled angrily, "The only way I can get him out of my life and away from me forever is to kill him. If we put him in jail there is always a chance he can get out or his sentence is shorter that my life. I want him gone, no matter what it takes"
Foaly let go of her arm and his head fell, "Then let me give you something"
He walked around his table and picked up a gun. He handed it to her and bit his lip, "It's a real gun Holly. Not just a Neutrino that'll knock someone out. You don't have an aim control or any features like the Neutrino. So you can make your decision"
Holly hugged him hard and a tear slid down her eye. No one but her noticed it, "Thanks"
He nodded and they left. Now ready for what lay ahead. Or so they hoped.
Artemis rounded the corner with Holly close behind him. He had gotten some device, obviously from Foaly, that showed him where all heat sources were. After leaving out all Haven civilians that were hiding in an underground, underground barrier, A powering source, and Police Plaza.
They neared the house they were going to, only then did Holly gape. It was a pretty big house. Holly took a deep breath and Artemis laughed, 'she's always trying to be on top of everything'
Holly trudged on past the gates which were conveniently open. She made eye contact with everything, even if it was completely still. They walked up to the door which lay open as well. Artemis just waltzed right in, Holly followed after completely surprised and grabbed his arm, "Are you crazy"
"Well if he didn't want us to come in he would've locked the door," Artemis said cockily.
"Well your indeed right, Mr. Fowl," came a voice. A big screen television came on and Kyle's face filled the screen, "I definitely wanted you to join me here"
The door shut behind them but Holly stood her ground. Artemis whispered loudly to Holly, "Just as egoistic as Koboi, don't you think"
"Mr. Fowl it seems you don't feel very threatened at the moment," Kyle replied in hearing his comment.
"Please Kyle, call me Artemis," Artemis said politely, "And if I may say so, why should I feel threatened. It's not like I'm the one that has done anything here"
"That is right, but you are keeping me from getting me what I want," Kyle complained.
"If I may correct you I am the one that lead her here for you," Artemis said with a cold look in his eye, "After she threw her communicator I fixed it, I put it in her room, and I took the heat seeker to find where you were. All in this Holly has been led here to you"
Holly was in disbelief, 'How could he do this to me'
Kyle saw the look on her face, "Did you really think a rich human would fall for you? Someone who could have the world at his feet, would take you in and love you? You would have to be crazy that you number one enemy would ever really work for the good team? Give it up. There is only me. I am the one that can and will control you. You can't go to some mud boy who cares more about money and himself then some love struck fairy. You should be with me and you should no better then to think of some human"
"Would you quit your complaining I've heard this all before," Holly yelled a tear falling from her eye, Artemis turned to face her, "Your just jealous because I would rather sink as low for someone as him then come to you"
Kyle smirk turned to a frown, "So it will come the hard way then"
"I'm ready for a fight," Holly said tensely.
"Tell me this then Holly," Kyle said, his smirk returning, "Are you sure you're still a stronger fighter than I am. Being away has given me time to do something that I doubt the LEP has given you"
"I can try right," Holly smiled proudly before the screen went off. Right then the floor gave out and both, Artemis and Holly, fell onto the hard, cold floor that was a basement. Holly couldn't breath for a minute and then her breath came back. She wheezed and coughed before she could breath normally again. Her head throbbed and she could feel blood dripping from her stomach. There was some glass on the basement which were the remains of a figurine. 'I must have fallen on it on the way down?' She questioned herself as she looked around. Artemis was on the floor a few feet away.
"So this is how he treats people who help him?" Artemis half thought out loud, half asked Holly. She grabbed his arm and yanked him to his feet.
"Most likely," Holly replied coldly as she brushed past him to look around. She got out a pocket light and looked around. There was one door and no windows. She growled under her breath, "Always have to go where he wants me to go, don't I"
"You sure enjoy talking to yourself, don't you?" Artemis replied cockily with a smile.
She punched him in the chest lightly, "That's right"
"So what do we do?" Artemis asked.
"I thought you were the genius?" Holly remarked sarcastically.
"We are dealing with your phyicopath here," Artemis replied back, "So what do we do"
"We do what he whats us to do," Holly said happily, "We go up."
