One of the scariest experiences in Skulduggery's life
Why was he doing this he was putting the thing he loved most in grave danger. How had Valkyrie convinced him that it was a good idea?
The idea had been brought up 3 days previously.
"Please Skull?"
"I said no."
"What's the worst that could happen?"
"Death. Chaos. Mental scarring."
"It'll be fine..."
"You want me to put one of the things that I love the most in danger!"
"It'll be perfectly fine we'll give up if anything drastic happens."
He just stared at her for a couple then turned around and walked away.
The next day he spent the good half of a morning searching for his hat only to find a note saying that he'd get it back if he did as Valkyrie wanted.
"VALKYRIE!"
She'd stood in front of him with a look of innocence on her face.
"Yes?"
"Are you keeping my hat hostage? Again?"
"It worked the first time we met, why wouldn't it now?" She just smiled knowing she'd won. He always caved in eventually.
Skulduggery dragged a gloved hand down his face and sighed, "Fine, tomorrow we'll do it."
"Thank you! Thank you!" Valkyrie gave him a giant hug then started to walk away.
"Hey! Where's my hat?"
Valkyrie started to run away.
And that's the story of how Skulduggery found himself in the passenger seat of his Bentley and Valkyrie behind the wheel.
"This is a car. It goes brum when you turn the key. This is a wheel you turn it so you go places. Those are the indicators but nobody ever seems to use them."
"Skul! Please let me set off!"
"I'm covering the basics. Also why is Tanith here?" he pointed towards the blonde in the back seat who was sat eating popcorn and looking very amused.
"She wanted to watch."
"I wasn't going to miss this for the world." Tanith said popping more popcorn in her mouth.
"I'm in a car with two idiots. Fine start the car."
Valkyrie turned the key and it stalled.
