Here we are, the next chapter.

Fowl Manor

A cool autumn breeze swept by Dublin.

Artemis Fowl II was extremely annoyed. Beckett and Myles, his twin brothers, had been bothering him. Very much. It seemed as they got older, the more trouble they were worth.

Every day, they would pester him with questions. Of course, Artemis was at first pleased to help. However, it began to bug him as they would not understand it unless he dumbed it out for them. It was especially annoying as he was working on a new invention.

This time, they were asking about gorillas. Gorillas were always their favorite to ask about. They were not to Artemis, as a particular one had nearly killed him down at Rathdown Park, eight years ago.

"Why do Gorillas beat there chest Ar-toomis?" Myles asked.

Artemis sighed, this was not the time. "To show that they are the leader of the pack," he said, exasperated. He was working furiously on a modified Mac. He liked modifying everything. It always seemed to prove useful. Just like his modified laser pointer.

"Does that mean that if I did, I would be the leader of this house?" Beckett wondered.

"Of course you simple-toon. Gorillas are like humans," Myles jumped up and Beckett followed him. They started running around the house, yelling and screaming and chanting.

"Finally," Artemis groaned. He pulled out his modified iPhone and played some classical music. Instant relief washed over him. He immediately got back to work. Today, he was working on a new computer OS.

Butler walked in. "Is this a good time?" Butler could see that it wasn't.

"It seems that I am not very good with children," Artemis grumbled, his eyes glued to the screen.

"I'll try to take them off your hands for a while so you can concentrate." Butler walked out, seeing it wasn't a good time for chat.

As Artemis returned to the screen, there was a pop up. You've got mail. Normally, Artemis would ignore it. Usually it would be Minerva. He did not have time to read all her e-mails. However, it was flagged red. Red was urgent. It was from Holly.

Artemis scanned over the message. It wasn't good news. Not at all. It was very short and brief.

It read "Both Opals on the loose. Believe they're working with Humans, Get 2 Haven ASAP"

Perhaps taking care of the twins wouldn't be such a bad idea.

He quickly wrote a reply. "Got it. When's the next shuttle to Haven?"

I know, its kinda short, I promise, the next chapter will be much much longer. Reviewz plz! :)
