Foaly spoke into his microphone rapidly.
“So, who are we dealing with again?” Foaly was a little disgruntled.
“She wouldn’t give me a name, but she’s definitely young. 15 or 16, I’d say.” Artemis replied.
“And why is she so important? Another girlfriend? What happened to Minerva?”
“Stick to the point. She happens to know about the People. She said it was her right to know.” Artemis hedged the jibe.
“Seems everyone knows about us now. More juvenile masterminds.” Foaly muttered. “So you’re flying when?”
“In an hour. Give Holly an iris-cam and a microphone.”
“Naturally. Butler has a microphone?”
“Of course.”
“Right then, meet Holly at the airport. Contact me then.”
“Speak to you later.”
“See you.” Foaly turned off his microphone and began to hum a Riverbend classic.
When Artemis arrived at London Heathrow, flanked by Butler and a disguised and highly annoyed Holly, they headed straight for the line of bored taxi drivers and asked to be taken to the Ritz. The driver chuckled to himself as he anticipated the fortune he was about to earn. Artemis looked out of the taxi’s window at the many famous sights of London, everything decorated in tinsel and fairy lights. They passed a huge fir tree in the centre of Trafalgar Square, adorned by huge baubles, bright lights and a neon star at the pinnacle. Holly complained at her outfit. She was dressed in fluorescent pink, pretending to be a little girl, and the vibrance clashed with her hair. On the flight she had been given a colouring-in set my a smiling air-hostess, and was repulsed by the Barbie doll which she had been forced to carry. Whe they finally arrived, Artemis paid the driver a tidy sum and they checked into the Ritz. The best London hotel surely was luxury, with chandeliers overhead complimented by red and gold paneling on the walls.

It was kind of confusing at the beginning, but I like your style! I didn’t think it was bad, contrary to your belief, and I will definately have competition in the contest!

unlike some stories i’ve read, artemis really matched the one that eion colfer wrote, and that’s quite a feat to achieve. i saw only one spelling mistake and overall, it was great.

Now that I’m finished, I’m even more confused about the end. You ended the story at an aburpt stop. One of the most important part of the story is the ending, and all the readers were left hanging. No offense, but I kinda disliked it because of the unusual storyline, ending, and lack of the participation of the other major carachters. (what happened to Holly, Butler, Foaly, and Trouble halfway?)
