” So , this is your first time on a public plane as well ? ” Ellen said to Artemis.

” Yes . ” Answered Artemis.

” Oh why , didn’t you ever travel across country’s before?”

    ” Yes , I did.” Answered Artemis.

” Then why is this your first , surely you must have ….” Ellen started.

” It’s a long story.” He said cutting her off but she smiled.

” Well , my family owns a private jet , lots but ….. I was in a trip .. kind of like on vacation in England , but my father called me back because his friends are comming and it just makes me SO angry. I had to cut off my vacation time to see his friends .. who are probably going to say ‘ hello’ to me and not talk to me for the rest of the week! Seriously , I am soo frustrated. ” She said and a flash of anger came over her.

” I saw that when you sat down.” Artemis said ‘

Ellen’s expression softened immedietly and her faced turned red.
” Please! Don’t think I am insane or anything.. I …” She started.

” If you were insane I would have  changed my seat wouldn’t I ?” Artemis said.
“Hey!” Ellen said and playfully punched his shoulder.

“Wow …moody..” mumbled Artemis and smiled , he actully felt like a teenager for once.

“Hey I wonder how long it has been since we’ve been up here.”

” 1 hour and 27 minutes 43 seconds counting”

“Mhmm….”Ellen said looking at him sarcasticially

” I kept track.” Artemis said.

” What are you a genius ?” Ellen asked.

“Well…..” Artemis remembered Butler telling him to revael no information. ” If you don’t belive me go ask a flight attendant!”

“Fine ” She said getting up and walked ahead.
” That’s not the way to the flight attendant-” Artemis stopped and got up to get her.

Ellen stopped when he saw the control room ” Silly me….” She said as she turned around but then he saw a guy with a gun in there , she hid behind the door.and listened and watched through the tiny crack. …… Artemis was son there as well….

” What happened ?” Artemis said seeing Ellen’s frightened face

” Shh….” She whispered

” We are looking for this person” Said the guy , he had a ton of tatoo’s and looked scary. The tatoo guy held up a picture, Ellen and Artemis couldn’t see it but they saw the backside. There were two of the tatoo guys.

” I - I ” Said the Pilot and put the plane on auto pilot.

” The name is Estrager.. that’s what boss tol’ us. ”

” I don’t know where the passenger is! ” The pilot said.

” Well we need to kill this person, it’s our job , and the boss wants it done badly.. payin’ us 20 million to kill this person So YOU WILL TELL US–”

Ellen’s eye’s widened and shook with fear..” This is scary….” She said, and turned to Artemis……

” We better get out of here” She siad.

” Yes , we should .. and we need to find this Estrager person , and tell him or her their life is in danger.” Artemis said.

” We shouldn’t meddle in this.” Ellen said

” Someone could lose their life! I don’t know if you will hep , but I will. ” Said Artemis , he actully felt like he was doing the right thing for once.

“No Artemis! You should endanger yourself like this!” Said Ellen , Artemis stopped.

” How did you know my name? ” HE SAID.

” I–..” but Ellen stopped talking and looked toward the tiny crack.

“Well if you won’t tell us….” Said the guy.

” We have a Bomb , and everyone will go bye-bye. If we don’t find Estrager by the time we stop in Canada .. the plane is headed to New York right? and you have a stop in Canada…. If by the time we get to Canada we don’t find Estrager , the bomb will activate and explode……..” Said the guy with the tatoo.

” We’ll make sure of that” said the other guy.

“NO! you can’t ! ” said the pilot.

” I think I saw Estrager on the second floor. .. I mean second class! ” said the Pilot.

“Ah…. better. You better hope we find Estrager.”

The guys turned to leave and were comming Ellen’s and Atemis’s way  they backed up and hid in the corner. but the space was too tight. and they almost fell out.

Ellen was about to back out and hit the guy but Artemis firmly held her wrist.

” Don’t move.” Artemis said sternly.

” I’m not trying to.” Ellen said.

Now the two men had gone,  and Artemis and Ellen went back behind the door.

Artemis was about to argue but Ellen went inside to control room,

” Where are you going?” Artemis said.

” We never got to ask my question. How long has it been since we have been up here.” Ellen said and almost walked in but stopoped and said.

” Wait here.” Ellen said

Artemis sighed , which he didn’t usually do.

When Ellen came back they returned to their seats.

” Okay , now how will we deal with this?” Artemis said … kind of asked but still.

” What do you mean deal with it? It’s none of your bissness.” Ellen said almost immediatly.

Artemis and Elen were sitting down face to face now.

” Yes it is, if they blow up the plane……. I die too , so unless I want anything to happen to my family I will do something about it! And why aren’t you helping , this affects you too know!” Artemis said angrily.

Ellen looked sadly down on the floor and mummbled. ” More than you know.”

” What?” Artemis said.

” Never mind , okay look , I guess we can TRY to deactivate the bomb , it’s no use trying to find Estrager. So lets try and deactivate the bomb. But still I don’t want you to get hurt artemis.”

” Okay…. but how do you know my name?” Artemis asked remembering to reveal no information.

” I read it off your suit-case. Artemis Fowl the second ? Right?” Ellen said Plainly.

” Yes….. ” Artemis mummbled.

” Myabe we should tell Butler.” Artemis said.

” Who’s he?” Ellen asked.

” My body guard.” Artemis said , now that the girl already nknew his name who cared if she knew he had a body guard?

“oh. Ummm.. okay but , Artemis before that… how will we deactivate the bomb?”Ellen asked.

” I don’t want to barge in there.. or try to find it and then realize we can’t deactivate it! ” Ellen said.

” Yes , but don’t worry , I think I will be able to crack it.”Artemis said.

” Artemis , it’s a highly advanced bomb , no one .. especially a 15 year old can crack it!”

” How do you know?” Artemis asked.

” Becasue the guy said his boss was paying him 20 milion to kill m—Estrager so I wonder how much efffort he put into the bomb……..” Ellen said.

” No , I meant , how do you know I can’t deactivate it?” Artemis said.

 Ellen sighed, it was no use arguing.
