I don't like cats- chapter two
The stakeout.
The great, powerful and beautiful Valkyrie Cain sat in her spot within Skulduggery Pleasant's famed Bentley R-Type Continental.
They were parked across the road from an old mouldy warehouse at a port in Dublin, waiting for something evil or suspicious to leech out of the building. In other words; they were on a stakeout.
Valkyrie loved her job, adored it even, she loved the thrill of the chase, the action and the time she spent with her skeleton best friend. But this particular aspect of her job…She hated, with a fiery passion. It was boring and tedious.
As she stared blankly at the windshield at the run down warehouse a thought occurred to her. She didn't live in the middle ages…She had technology within her grasp! Or well, her pocket. Her well loved phone.
Before she knew it her hands were grasping at the zipper of her pant pocket. Her fingers were clumsy at their lack of use within the last three (Or was it four? She'd lost count.) hours. Skulduggery hadn't moved for most of the time. He just sat there, stock still gazing with hollow sockets at the building. Her sudden movements must have startled him…Awake.
"Who-Da-What?" He muttered sleepily, as his skull peered closer at the window, trying to see through the gloom better.
Gazing at the screen of her phone Valkyrie muttered; "Oh, I'm sorry…Were you meditating? My deepest, deepest apologises." Her usual sarcasm laced her voice.
"Something happened?"
Sighing grumpily Valkyrie put down her phone. "No, as usual." And with that Valkyrie picked up her phone and started fiddling again, her thumbs moved with expertise.
Skulduggery gazed out the window, him too watching the warehouse with little interest. A sudden meow of a cat broke him from his thoughts. Looking over at Valkyrie he met the sight of her smiling down at her bright phone screen.
"What are you doing? Did I hear a…Cat?" He asked trying to lean over to see.
Valkyrie turned her smart phone so he could see what was happening on the small screen. It was playing a video of a tiny, fluffy black kitten squashing itself into a dainty teacup. Valkyrie was giggling with delight.
With a grunt of annoyance Skulduggery sat back heavily in his seat. "Out of all the videos to watch on the World Wide Web…You chose felines?"
"Not only that, but it's a montage! A compilation! Four hours of nonstop kitty-cat fun!" She smirked at Skulduggery's miffed attitude and tilt of his head. He hated…No wait, despised cats.
Skulduggery pondered on it and turned to face his partner, he knew she wouldn't let him drift off again and he would be stuck listening to sudden meows and sniggers of the cursed bedevilled cats and Valkyrie. The least he could do was…"Alright, let me watch."
After being asked several times…I decided to make this a series of Skulduggery vs cats drabble fic.
