Then when skulduggery goes missing what will Valkyrie do? or what will someone else do? COMPLETED! :)

2. Chapter 2

The doorbell rang; Skulduggery sighed and got out of his meditating chair to go answer it. To his pleasure, he saw Valkyrie, and Tanith, standing on his doorstep.

'What brings you lovely young lady's here in the middle of the night?' he asks them.

'Oh shut up, you knew we were coming!' Tanith says and she pushes past him, making herself welcome, and settling into an armchair.

'Be careful not to get dirt on my carpet.' Skulduggery mutters.

Valkyrie follows Tanith in and slumps herself on the tiny couch, before she looks up at skulduggery, 'Hey Skul, how did you know we were coming?'

Skulduggery shrugs 'well, because of my amazing detective intuition.' Valkyrie rolls her eyes and uncharacteristically giggles. 'Tanith told me on the phone, she didn't say why though, do you have any idea?'

Valkyrie's cheeks burn and she glares at Tanith, but she just smiles and waves, she stands up, then turns to Skulduggery. 'Where's the bathroom again?'

'Upstairs, second on the right' Valkyrie says quickly, before he can respond, then realises what she's done and her cheeks turn a deeper red.

Skulduggery chuckles at Valkyries embarrassment, 'That just proves how often you're round Val, you basically live here.' He says as Tanith treks up the stairs. 'And try not to make a mess.' He calls after her, and then comes to sit next to Valkyrie. She can feel his shoulder touching hers, if he doesn't move over she was going to have a hot flush.

She shuffles slightly so they are further apart, and then there's an awkward silence, 'So I'm guessing there still isn't a case then?' Valkyries says trying to break it.

'No; it seems as all the bad guys have gone on holiday.' Skulduggery chuckles to himself, then looks up into Valkyries eyes and realises how beautiful they were, he felt something squirming in his none existent stomach, he can't help but stare at them.

Valkyrie notices and stares back at his gleaming white cheekbones, god she loved his cheekbones, then at his teeth. She then starts to edge closer, so her face is inches from his.

He'd had a feeling like this once before, it was with his wife… his wife

Skulduggery backs away, and can see the hurt in Valkyries eyes. 'Look Val, Tanith told me…

Suddenly there was a loud crash upstairs as the window smashed, and Tanith screamed.
