Chapter 4: Butler's Conundrum
"Ugh, Butler never tell anyone about this. It never happened got it?" Artemis said quickly to cover up his outburst.
"What never happened Artemis?" Butler responded knowing he was going to have to tell Holly and the Doctor.
"Good," Artemis said misunderstanding the words that his bodyguard had just said.
Juliet knocked on the door before stepping in. "Dom, it is my shift to watch of Arty here. Go take a nap."
"Ugh, I am going back to sleep Juliet" Artemis said with his voice quavering. It was still only midnight?
Butler knew immediately after leaving the room what he should do. He started the walk to Holly Shorts apartment. Along the way he began thinking of what Artemis had said about Holly marrying the Commander.
There is no way that in all the world she would marry her commanding officer. Holly has much more self respect then to do that. And why did Artemis seem broken up over her marrying Kelp instead of him? Could it possibly of been Orion when he first awoke? Shaking his head at this thought. No if it had been Orion he would of remained in control and been fine with having said that. So does Artemis really love Holly? If so does she love him back? Grr, if I don't figure this out it may cause further withdraw into the complex, and god knows no one wants that.
Looking up Butler saw the familiar apartment complex with Holly Shorts apartment balcony off to his left.
No lights are on. She must be asleep, but this is more important than her beauty sleep. This could mean a change for the world.
Butler knocked heavily on Holly's door knowing that he would most likely wake up a raging horde of the small fairy residents but he needed to speak to her immediately. He then waited for exactly one minute and thirty seconds before pounding again. At this point in time he heard a door open behind him.
"Could you kee..." was all the short man behind him got out before turning completely pale and running back into his apartment.
"HOLLY ANSWER THIS DOOR!" Butler hollered at the door which blocked his way to Major Holly Short.
"Hold your horses out there," screamed Holly's familiar voice from inside.
As the door opened Butler rushed in closing the door behind him. He began thoroughly checking the room for bugs.
"Hey Holly," Butler said while searching.
"Butler we have gone over this before," Holly said annoyedly, "Foaly checks my apartment every day for bugs for fear one of our conversations will leak."
"Ah, but I am searching for Foaly's bugs," Butler replied plainly.
"He doesn't bug for fear of Artemis hacking his systems and finding them," Holly stated growing more annoyed.
"Okay I am done," Butler replied releasing a breath he didn't know he was holding.
"What is so important that you come here in the middle of the night?" Holly inquired.
"Artemis," Butler replied, "he..."
"This could of waited till morning!" she said growing more angry.
"He woke up in tears from a dream of you marrying Commander Kelp instead of him!" Butler blurted.
"He WHAT?" Holly said as the blood drained from her face.
