Valkyrie was walking home from school that night. For once, Skullduggery wasn't solving any cases, so Valkyrie hadn't sent her reflection to school and had gone herself. Few people knew where she lived, so she was incredibly surprised when Billy-Ray Sanguine covered her mouth and nose with a strange-smelling rag. She struggled, but he was too strong, and the clorophome was taking its effect. As she struggled against her assailant and to stay awake, Billy-Ray murmured in her ear.
"I know I said I'd kill you, but I think this is worse. And it pays." There might have been more, but at that moment Valkyrie lost both her fights and all went dark.
