Artemis- Camera

  Butler nodded. Only last month, Master Fowl had purchased a cine-camera over the Internet. Two thousand frames a second, recently developed by Industrial Light and Magic for specialized nature shoots, hummingbird wings and such. It processed images faster than the human eye could. Artemis had had it installed behind a cherub over the main entrance.

  Butler nearly queried the order. Nearly. Instead he held his tongue and pressed the pad. On screen, the cherry trees froze, blossoms trapped in mid-air. More importantly, a dozen or so black-clad figures suddenly appeared on the avenue.

  'What!' exclaimed Butler. 'Where did they spring from?'

  'They're shielded,' explained Artemis. 'Vibrating at high speed. Too fast for the human eye to follow…'

  'But not for the camera,' nodded Butler. Master Artemis. Always two steps ahead.
