A new addition to my story.
Note-I do not own anything but the plot. :)
"What's up, Artemis?" Holly asked, surprised by Artemis's call. Usually it was her calling Artemis.
"I found something," he said simply, as if that was explanation enough. Holly frowned. She knew Artemis liked his suspense, but this was going too far.
"What is it?" she asked, wondering how it was always him who stumbled onto something.
"A strand of hair," he said theatrically.
"Okay," Holly replied slowly. "Is your hair falling from stress? Don't tell me that the mighty Artemis Fowl can't figure something out." She snickered at her joke. Artemis sighed and she could almost see him raising his eyebrows over half-closed eyes.
"Yes, you're hilarious. I'll see you in three hours, Holly," he said and the line was dead. Holly shook her head and stood up putting away her phone, and Holly stood up, putting away her phone, and walked down the hall, passing Foaly's control room; she stopped. Foaly was staring at a video, hunched over, biting his thick lips. She knocked on the window and Foaly jumped, falling off of his seat, looking relieved when he realized it was just Holly.
"What's up?" Holly asked, entering the room.
Foaly swallowed, getting up uneasily. "You know the explosion that happened on your mission, the one that caused you to be suspended?"
Holly rolled her eyes despite herself. "Gee, no. I think I forgot," she replied dryly. Foaly nickered in disdain and continued.
"I was looking at the video from your visor, trying to figure out how I couldn't have seen the bomb and I realized…someone had to have hacked into the computers, blocked it out. And the only person capable of hacking through my highly sophisticated system is…"
"Opal," Holly finished, dread balling in her stomach at the name. "We should have known."
Foaly looked offended at her brushing away his discovery as nothing and then spoke with hesitancy.
"You think Trouble will unsuspend you?"
Holly looked at him. "How'd you know about that? He just told me."
"I know everything," he said, serious.
Holly though about his question, frowning. Trouble may know by now that the explosion hadn't been her fault, but he wouldn't overlook the other mistakes during her mission. She scolded herself. I had been so simple, so easy. Too easy, a voice in her head spoke.
Holly shook her head. "Doubt it. Plus, Artemis says he found something. I'm heading to Fowl Mano right now," she said. Foaly's eyes glittered.
"Time to hack into his system," Foaly said, deviously turning to his computer. He stopped. "You're not going to do anything about Opal?"
Holly smiled evilly. "Oh, she'll be sorry for coming back. But right now, I got to go stop Artemis from throwing the fairy world out of balance again." She left the control room, leaving Foaly to secure his tin hat over his head and to crack his fingers in preparation for some hacking.
So short...I'll probably add to this, but this is what I got so far.
