P.S: Luke is 11

Beep, beep…

What in the world is that? Skulduggery thought.

Beep…beep

"Ugh, c'mon! Die!!"

No really, what the hell?! All I remember is falling to the ground. He thought again.

Beep, beep…

"Stupid, monster! I'm going to use my bazooka!"

The room blurred in front of Skulduggery's eyes as he stared at the ceiling.

"Mooom! I need the charger!"

"Mom"? Luke?

Beep, beep…

"Haha!! Yes!! I killed the boss!! Now, I'm on level 15!!"

Skulduggery groaned and propped himself on his elbows on the hospital bed. In front of him, he could see a figure, playing with something in his hands.

"MOOOM!!"

A voice came from the half-closed door. "What, honey?! Stop shouting! Kenspeckle doesn't like shouting in the lab!"

"But my batteries are dying!"

Skulduggery rubbed his head and found the tender spot where Morgan had kicked. He winced as touched it. How the hell does it hurt?! I have a bloody skull for goodness sake!

Someone walked through the door, with a crutch towards him. "Hey, blackout man, how are you feeling?"

"Valkyrie? What happened to Regret?"

Valkyrie shrugged. "He's history. I sort of broke his face…well burnt it…"

Skulduggery looked at the crutches and back to Valkyrie's face. Valkyrie knew what he was thinking.

"Oh, remember? Fractured hip? Yes, I know, Kenspeckle did heal it and I was supposed to stay in bed but you know me." Valkyrie explained, finishing with a grin.

Skulduggery shook his head. "Typical."

"DIE, YOU STUPID FREAK!!!"

Both of them looked at the figure that sat in a chair, playing PSP. Luke looked up and stared at them. "What?"

Valkyrie stared back at Luke. "Aren't you gonna say hi to daddy?"

Luke held up a finger and looked down at his game. "One minute! Oh nuts, I need health! Move out of my way, dude!"

Valkyrie shook her head in disapproval. "Rina shouldn't have bought that for him for Christmas."

Kenspeckle bustled into the room, carrying a bottle. "Mr. Pleasant, stay in bed."

"But I've got to go home." Skulduggery protested.

"No, only at the end of the day." Kenspeckle opened the bottle and poured it over Skulduggery's skull. The red substance oozed over the crack and formed a red circle around it.

"Ow, dammit!" Skulduggery flinched away from Kenspeckle, "What the hell is that stuff!?"

Kenspeckle rolled his eyes. "Keep still, it's to help you survive."

"C'mon, c'mon, c'mon! Times running out!" Luke urged. He was staring intently at the screen. "Argh! Man! Shit!"

Valkyrie's mouth dropped. "Luke Pleasant!"

Luke looked up innocently at his mother. "Yes, mother?"

"Don't act so innocently, you know what you said." Valkyrie said, in a motherly firm voice.

Luke tilted his head. "I don't remember swearing."

Valkyrie's eyes narrowed and her nose flared. "I remember that phrase and I," she growled, as she hobbled out the door, "am going to find that Fletcher."

Luke's eyes followed Valkyrie out the door. He then looked at Skulduggery.

"Oh, hi dad."

Hehe, Fletcher is going to get some spanking! REVIEWS!!!!! I'm not going to update unless I get decent reviews!! I think the ending sucked...
