Chapter 4: A Flashback
Butler was currently sitting a plane on his way to the Amazon (AN: Only Jungle I can think of and know a bit about) where he had tracked the call.
Butler despite his training and usual quick thinking was too shocked to think of a way to get Artemis back, so he did the only thing he could.
He had gone to one of his oldest friend's for help.
One Craig Benson. Went to the academy with the bodyguard and was second in the school, after Butler of course. But chose not to go on to be a bodyguard and ended up in the army.
Craig had insisted Butler ignore the kidnapper's. That there was nothing he could do to save the kid and it would just be suicide.
This warning fell onto deaf ear's. Butler was not about to hand Artemis over to those soon to be dead kidnapper's. It was his duty as a bodyguard to protect Young Master Artemis from anything in the world that might want, or even think about hurting him. And he had let the boy down, the only, ONLY fear Butler had and it had come true. Something had happened to Artemis... something he, in his own opinion, could of prevented.
Craig didn't understand, he didn't understand why Butler was so upset, or why he was going to such extremes to save the boy. I mean, to him (Craig), Artemis was as good as dead and there was nothing Butler or anyone else could do about it.
But Domovoi Butler wouldn't, couldn't believe this. Artemis was alive and Butler was going to save him, although. He couldn't say the same for the bastard's who dared lay a hand on the boy.
But back to the entire reason I mentioned Craig in the first place.
The man had waited with Butler until the kidnapper called again and then traced the call. He also had connection's with the a wealthy business man who owned his own plane.
Although he still had to fork out a few thousand dollar's to make the guy cooperate. But in the end, Butler was sitting in plane strapped to one of the side seat's, staring into space, one word playing over and over in his mind. Artemis. Artemis. Artemis.
-------------------------------------------------
"Do you really think you can save him Butler?" Asked Craig, four hour's into the trip, pocking his head around the door that led to the cock pit.
Butler said nothing, instead he just nodded.
Craig frowned. This was really stressing the guy. I mean, he knew a bodyguard's worst fear was their charge disappearing. But this was just odd. He had never known a man to care about some snotty little kid so much. He had met Artemis once, when the boy was 5. Something he won't be forgetting in a while.
Flashback!! MWA HA HA HA!!!!...
Craig was sitting in a little caf� in Paris. He was waiting for his old lover to arrive.
Smiling the 6 foot tall blond ran a hand through his spiky locks. He had been looking forward to seeing Butler for a few month's and he wanted to look his best. What he was waring wasn't in anyway flashy, but it was still nice. A pale blue polo shirt, a pair of cream trouser's and his favorite pair of loafer's.
He had been sitting here for an hour and Butler still hadn't shown up. He was beginning to think he wouldn't come at all until someone tapped him lightly on the shoulder.
"Long time no see," Said a deep voice, who belonged to only one man.
Holding back his beaming smile Craig watched as Butler walked around the small round table to sit opposite him, pulling up another chair beside him. The smile soon dropped as a small boy sat himself down by the large bodyguard.
Butler smiled down at the boy, then turned his attention to his friend.
"This is Artemis Fowl the Second, he's my charge. His parent's are skiing in Austria at the moment so I had to bring him with me, I hope you don't mind," He said gesturing to the kid, who was staring at the menu, his little hands folded neatly on the table.
Craig shook his head, of course it didn't bother him, I mean, he was just a little kid, nothing to be angry about.
Butler smiled warmly then turned back to Artemis.
"Artemis, this is Craig, the man I was telling you about on the way here," He said softly.
Artemis raised his bright blue eyes to the blond. Craig almost jumped in shock. Those eyes. Little Artemis' eyes where something else. Not only where they a blue Craig had never seen before, but they where also quite blank, totally devoid of any emotion. One thing Craig figured out and it didn't take a genius to do so, was the kid was smart, really smart. The knowing look in the boys eyes was amazing. You could just see the vast amount of knowledge in his young orbs.
"Hello sir, pleased to meet you," Artemis said politely. He gave a small smile. Although you could hardly call it a smile. A small tug of the right side of his little mouth. It was like the child was silently mocking him.
Craig smiled back, a forced polite smile.
"Hello Artemis,"
The child then looked back to the menu, his blue eyes scanning the children's column for something to eat and drink. Butler smiled again, looking back to Craig.
"It's wonderful to see you again," He said, placing his hands on the table.
Butler was waring practically the same thing as Craig, only his shirt was red.
The blond reached across the table and lay his hand over Butler's. They stared at each other for a while until the was the sound of someone clearing their throat.
Snapping out of there little world, the two men looked down to see Artemis standing on his chair. Butler removed his hands and turned his full attention to the boy.
"Artemis, you're not meant to stand on the chair sir," He said softly. Like he was afraid of the child's reaction.
Fowl Jr gave a slight nod.
"I know that Butler, but I can't see anything very well, I need a booster seat," With that said he hopped of the chair and went to find a waitress. Butler excused himself and followed his charge over to a young woman standing by the front desk.
Craig didn't know what the kid had said to the girl, but she seemed a bit freaked out. Young Artemis was standing in front of her, little arms crossed over his chest looking for all the world like he owned the place. He then pointed to their table and said something else. Butler standing behind him, looking distant and un concerned.
The girl nodded and hurried off.
A few moment's later, a booster seat was placed on Artemis' chair and Craig, watching with slight annoyance as Butler picked Artemis up and popped him on the seat.
"Better sir?" He asked, sitting down and looking at the small child.
Artemis nodded, then turned to face Craig. His small face pulling a look no child should have.
"Where you two involved in any way?" He asked, quite bluntly. The word's sounding very out of place on a five year olds mouth.
Both men said nothing, instead they glanced at each other nervously.
Artemis, not missing a beat, nodded to himself.
"I thought as much," He said.
Craig watched as the boy turned to Butler and showed him what he wanted to have for lunch. Knowing full well he wasn't going to have some "alone time" with his old friend with this kid around, IF you could call him a kid.
End of Flashback!! (Now that wasn't so bad was it?)
Craig scowled.
He hadn't gotten to talk to Butler at all that day, that Artemis kid kept staring at him and whenever he went to talk to Butler about starting their relationship again, he would catch the bodyguard's attention and proceed to keep it there. To be utterly truthful, he didn't like the boy, he was strange. If there was such a thing as being too smart for you're own good, then Artemis Fowl the Second was defiantly too smart. He looked like a child, dressed like one, but you could never judge someone on first impressions. When ever he looked at you, spoke to you, he sounded like a wealthy intelligent 60 year old in a child's body.
Sighing and sitting down next to his friend Craig gently laid a and on Butler's knee.
"Don't worry, I'll help you and we won't stop looking until we find him, I promise,"
The bodyguard tried to smile, although such a display of emotion seemed quite out of place at a time like this. Instead he put his face in his hands. This display also seemed very out of place, as specially on a man like Butler.
"I know you will, but... but what if... what if I... he... What if I never see him again, Craig I don't think I could live with a burden like that, knowing that I could've done something, Artemis is just a boy, he hasn't done anything to anybody (You know what I mean), he doesn't deserve any of this,"
Butler's deep gruff voice sounded strangled, like he was going to cry. But Craig knew he wouldn't. Butler would never let him self cry, not for anything.
But seeing his old love like this, he wasn't sure of anything anymore.
