I continue my story (Duh) Also, if anyone wants a reason for Seph Fowl to do this, I will put it in my next chapter.
Chapter 2:
Discovery.
Artemis Fowl looked at his safe miserably. He had been, for one of the first times in his life, robbed. And by his own younger cousin, no less. What he was more worried about, however, was what was stolen. It was a book. The fairy Bible, to be exact. Artemis himself had had it come into his possession by stealing it from a drunken sprite. He had done his best, but his cousin showed no sign of were it was kept, or if he knew what it was. Artemis would have to call in reinforcements.
********************
Captain Holly Short of the LEP was under attack. She shot her Neutrino pistol, but it did little good to ease the flow of fire coming at her. Suddenly a message signal appeared on the view screen of her helmet. She pressed a button and the blasts from the practice range robots turned off.
"Foaly, I've gotta take this message. It's from 'Source 1'"
The message from Artemis read, "Fairy book stolen. Cousin is suspected. Repeat of incident one is possible." Holly frowned. If Artemis's Fairy book was stolen…Uh-oh. This was a disaster! She had barely saved her reputation last time! And she had Julius Root to help her then! She said to Foaly, "You should look at this."
*******************
Ydrab was an elf. His most recognizable characteristic was his jet-black hair. Also, he was a technological genius to rival even Foaly. However, he was not with the LEP. He was a private businessman, working for anyone, anywere, anytime.
In his business, he used his own inventions, LEP weapons, or a hybrid of the two. He was also not the best citizen of Haven city. In fact, he had been in and out of jail for a variety of cases.
One of the more well known escapades that sent him to jail was the time he shot the brother of Commander Julius Root in the leg. That was the one that had given him the most time in prison. In fact, with the extra time in jail, he had almost gotten on friendly terms with the famous Mulch Diggums.
Yet his most famous antics were when he had stole a state-of-the-art LEP shuttle and gone to the surface. On this voyage, he had talked to several humans, and played havoc with the human's systems. The LEPRecon forces had to be sent in to capture him, and it had taken nearly a month to track him down and trap him away from humans. The battle was almost legendary among the fairy children.
Our story with him begins after he had been released from100 years in prison. It was only 100 years because of early release for good behavior. He had returned to his old safe house and gathered his things to begin a job in partnership with a dwarf.
Their mission was to scout out LEP security for Foaly, so he could fully recalibrate LEP systems. Many files had been lost to Opal Koboi in the goblin rebellion. Some systems not on file had been going off. This led Foaly to start a crazy quest to map all systems of the LEP.
Ydrab had only a small idea of what they were trying to do. But he had no idea of what would actually happen to him. He was irrevocably tied now to the quest of Seph Fowl.
He started off down the streets of Haven on his hovering bike-like invention. Within fifteen minutes, he was in front of the LEP offices. Heading for the back door, he grabbed his multi-tool from his pocket and picked the top security lock for some practice. It took thirty seconds. When he entered, he almost ran right into Holly Short.
"Whoa, why all the rush cousin? Or should I say Capitain Short?"
Holly glared at him. "This is no time for jokes. Get to Foaly's office and I'll tell you. We need all the help we can get."
*********************
Once inside, a confused Ydrab looked questioningly at Holly and Foaly.
"Okay, please tell me what is going on." he said.
Holly began her explanation. "Do you remember Artemis Fowl?"
"Yes. Didn't he save your life again?"
"We're both even! But we're off subject," she said veheminently, "we should be talking about the problem. Artemis kept the copy of the Fairy book that he stole, under the promise of his best security. The problem is that this wasn't enough to keep his younger cousin, Joseph Fowl, from breaking into his house and making off with the Fairy book. We don't know if Joseph has decoded it and we want to know if he has, to gauge what the best response is. We do not want a repeat of our first contact with the Fowl family. That's were you come in. We need at least a two person team to go and do reconiscence. I am going because of my history with the Fowls. You are going because I said so, and you have the skills I need. Got that?"
Ydrab nodded and replied, "I'll need above ground equipment."
Holly smiled. For once, this might actually work out. She would later think of how wrong she was.
