Artemis Fowl: A Call for Help

Chapter 12

Koboi Labs

Opal stood in the security room, glaring at the screen. It was a live feed from the creatures' iris cam. No way. There is no way this is happening, Opal thought. Her tiny hands clenched into fists.
"Merval!" Opal shrieked. "Get in here!"
Merval ran into the room. "Yes, Miss Koboi?"
"Artemis Fowl, Holly Short, and Trouble Kelp are in Tara, Ireland. It looks like they are tracking my creature. We need to get up there and stop them!"
"Yes Miss Koboi, I'll prepare a shuttle."
"Yes, but hurry." Opal snapped.
Merval ran out of the room. "I'll hurry!" he called back.
Artemis Fowl will not win again. This time, they will all die. Even if it's the last thing I ever do, Artemis Fowl will die. As Opal muttered this vow, she was thinking of ways to accomplish it. She could just shoot him when he wasn't looking, after all he probably wasn't expecting her to show up. But Opal had always been one for theatrics. So this was going to have to be something big. Artemis Fowl was going to have to suffer. The she remembered that Holly Short was going to be there too. I wonder what he'll do for the one he loves. I could kill two birds with one lovely stone.
Five minutes later, Opal was strapping into a seat in her luxury shuttle. Her plan was fully formed, and she was ready to put it to action.
Merval poked his head out of the cockpit. "Ready, Miss Koboi?"he asked.
"Yes Merval. Just shut up and fly!"
After ten minutes, they had reached their final destination. Opal sprung up from the seat. Merval stood and opened the door for her.
"Close the door!" Opal whispered.
The door shut with a quiet hiss. "Sorry." Merval whispered.
"You don't have to whisper with the door closed, Merval."
"Sorry, Miss Koboi." Merval said.
Opal sighed. "I need to tell you what your assingment is. I don't want any interruptions. Got it?" Merval nodded, keeping his mouth shut. "Good. Now here's what I want you to do..."
