Jaron Gallow and Dreylan Scarab walked through the maze of books. They reached the end, and went through a door. They found a woman sitting on a bed.
"Gallow and Scarab. To what do I know the pleasure?" China said, smiling that beautiful smile.
"You're magic doesn't work on us." Scarab said. "We know you're secret. We know that you led Skulduggery Pleasant's family into a trap to their death.
China's smile disappeared. Gallow laughed.
"Now you have a choice." Scarab continued. "Either you come with us and help us take down the Sanctuary, or we tell Pleasant, and he can kill you."
China didn't say anything. The three all knew about the skeleton's rage. She didn't have much of a choice. But she wouldn't betray them. She would die either way. But she would go down fighting.
"Tell Skulduggery then. " China said.
"Fine." Gallow said.
Gallows' phone rang. He answered. All Gallow did was say yes twice, and then OK. He hung up.
"You're coming with us… and then you can tell Pleasant yourself."
China tapped two symbols on her forehead. Two red daggers were thrown at Gallow, but he dodged. His eyed flashed red, and his hands glowed. He punched at the air, but somehow it had hit China as well. She staggered, and Gallow punched with his other head. She fell unconscious.
"Now… lets get Skulduggery to find out a nice little secret." Scarab said.
