They arrived in Japan soon after. Holly shielded as soon as the jet landed. Artemis reread the situation. And Butler… He was looking around and trying to protect Artemis from snipers.
“Artemis,” whispered Holly. “Where do you suppose they are?”
“Somewhere in the building to your left.”
Holly looked at the building a frowned. She had seen it before.If only she could remember it…
“Should we go Artemis?” Butler asked, interrupting Holly’s thoughts.
“Not quite. I must collect a few things. We might have them. But who knows?”
“What do we need?”
Artemis handed his bodyguard a list. Butler’s eyes move across the page. He laughed.
”We have everything Artemis. I took them just in case.”
“Very well then. Holly?”
“Yes Artemis?”
“Are you sure you know what you are doing?”
“Yes.”
“I do not think you are. You do know that they could easily see that you are not human. They have cameras everywhere in the building. They could see someone do something interesting and stop the camers. Then, you could be exposed to them.”
Holly frowned. She knew Artemis was right. Wasn’t he always? Of course he would have thought of this beforehand…
“Then what do you suggest I do Artemis?”
“If you must know… But you will not like it one bit.”
Holly sighed. “Just tell me.”
“If you insist. Butler?” He turned to face his bodyguard. “Would you give Holly the case Butler? Make sure she wears it.”
Butler nodded. “Of course. But why did you ask me? Are you planning on going somewhere?”
Artemis looked at Butler. “No.”
“Then why me?”
Artemis looked at Holly. She had a suspicious look on her face. “Once Holly sees what she has to wear, I honestly do not want her to punch me. Again.”
Holly laughed. “Sorry Artemis. The first time, well, you were rude.”
“I wasn’t talking about that! I was talking about three days ago.”
“Oh,” Holly said, realizing what he meant. She glanced at Butler. His eyes showed little emotion, but you could see that laughter in them.
