Chapter 3
Of course, Skulduggery had known a few weirdos himself. People even thought Skulduggery himself could be a weirdo. Skulduggery had once met a man whose skin was inside out. It wasn't particularly pretty.
Magic was one thing, but Aliens? Now that was a completely different question… At least that's what Skulduggery thought.
Valkyrie on the other hand since she was first introduced to magic had a more excepting mind or in Skulduggery's eyes / eye sockets more gullible mind.
Valkyrie was intrigued with the stories the Doctor and River came up with. First there was one about a planet where the mountains swayed in the breeze but the Doctor had to save the inhabitants from a swaying volcano. Then there was another about a time where he saved the universe two times in a row.
Skulduggery kept his eye sockets on the Doctor and tried not to buy it. Valkyrie on the other hand was leaning in closer and closer to them both as if she wanted to be one of them. River talked the most but of course the Doctor interrupted half of the time.
But something did capture Skulduggery's thoughts. The Doctor started talking of a time war.
"Yes I was the last of the time lords. My home planet, Gallifrey, is gone. It burned and I was left alone for hundreds of years until two of my companions –ehem-"
River interrupted this time, "they were my parents. Because I was uh made on the T.A.R.D.I.S in the time vortex I became a time lord."
The Doctor blushed "Yes that is exactly how it happened and so now we are husband and wife and are going through time and space together."
Valkyrie being the girl she is commented, "AWWWW—That's SO cute!"
Skulduggery then talked for the first time in 30 minutes, "You said something about a time war?"
The Doctor answered, "yes?"
"Well, I was in a war too."
"It wasn't as big as the war that I was in."
"Really? My war lasted four hundred or so years and involved the whole planet."
"The time war involved thousands of species but mainly the time lords and the daleks and destroyed my home planet and many others. It's in time lock so technically it is still going."
"Alright I'll give it to you your war is a bit bigger." He gave in.
The Doctor gave a triumphant smile and turned his head for River's approval. She shook her head. His smile quickly turned into a frown. "Magic war, Time war what's the difference it is still war."
He then turned back to River and River responded with a slight nod.
"Agreed."
Skulduggery reminded himself that he was questioning these people for a murder case not having competitions with them.
"Alright, now that we know… who… you are. Why don't you explain to us what you think happened to Mr. Brown." Skulduggery was hesitant in asking suspects who they thought would be the murderer but it might just give him something to work with.
"Welllll… normally when we run into these sort of situations the other bad alien did it." The Doctor sort of looked out into the distance then started nodding.
"Other bad alien? Do you know… what… species it would be?"
The Doctor started look to and fro into Skulduggery's eye sockets, "Was there anything peculiar about how he was lying there?" The Doctor loved the thought of becoming a detective.
