Laptops been down so I had to write this up. Things I do!
The room was quiet and the atmosphere tense. A pen tapped against the table as the last person joined the six already gathered there.
"We are all present, now we may begin," an emotionless voice droned. All heads turned towards him as he stood up gracefully. He stepped around the table and contemplated his pre planned speech.
"I'm guessing that you are all here purely out of curiosity so I will tell you now. If you don't agree then go. I don't have the patience for time wasters." A silence descended and the seven looked at each other carefully. "I am in a predicament of sorts, my heart belongs to another but she refuses to accept," One of the people stood up,
"I am not helping you chase a fantasy of yours. It is a waste of time and I'm leaving!"He turned and briskly walked out. Silence for a couple of seconds then a gun shot was heard.
"As I said, I hate time wasters, now where was I?" none of the remaining six dared to say anything and just looked at him in fear. "Oh yes, I am in love but she does not love me back. I need her but it isn't as simple as just snatching her for me. It is a case of plucking her from the Skeleton Detective's side as the lady in question is none other than the despicable Valkyrie Cain.
Valkyrie stumbled under the impact as the bullets hit her arms. They had hit a dead end and was being hit by rapid machine fire; it was all she could do to protect herself. There was a gap in the firing and that was when Skulduggery struck, he grabbed Valkyrie's arm and hauled her up as he pushed at the air, sending the guards to the ground. He navigated through the maze of corridors, tugging Valkyrie behind him until they burst out into open air.
She immediately collapsed to the ground exhausted. She was bleeding uncontrollably as her body tried to replenish the blood which was being lost. Skulduggery fell to his knees beside her.
"Where are you hit?" he asked desperately, she vaguely motioned to her shoulder and wrist. Black spots were dotting her vision, she felt light-headed and dizzy. He quickly removed his jacket and that was the last thing she saw before she blacked out into unconsciousness.
