Holly stepped out of the holo-booth, which resembled an ancient shower unit with rubber curtain. With the touch of a button it collapsed and self-sealed into the portable briefcase.

There were tears in her eyes as she strapped herself into the pilot’s chair and flicked off autopilot.

Artemis squirmed slightly in the co-pilot’s chair.

‘So, are we even?’

Holly nodded. ‘Yes. We’re even. But your elf-kissing days are over.’

‘I see,’ said Artemis.

‘It’s not a challenge, Artemis. Over is over.’

‘I know,’ said Artemis neutrally.

They sat in silence for a while, watching low mountains speed across the desert towards them, then Holly leaned across and punched Artemis gently on the shoulder.

‘Thanks, Arty.’

‘You are most welcome. All I did was have an idea.’

Mulch emerged noisily from the bathroom, scratching and grunting.

‘Wooo-oh, that’s better. Thank the gods for soundproofing, eh?’

Holly winced. ‘Close the door and let the extractor fan do its work.’

Mulch slammed the door with a flick of his heel. ‘I was thinking in there, you know, rooo-minating.’

‘I don’t think I want to hear this.’

Mulch ploughed on regardless. ‘That little lemur. The silky whatever. You know who he reminds me of with that buzz-cut hairdo?’

They had all been thinking it.

‘Commander Root,’ said Holly, smiling.

‘Yep. A miniature Commander Root.’

‘Julius Junior,’ said Artemis.

They crested the foothills of the Atlas Mountains and Fez was revealed like the heart of the land, its arteries clogged with vehicles.

‘Jayjay,’ said Holly. ‘That’s his name. Now let’s go get him.’

She switched on the shuttle’s shield and initiated their descent into Fez.
