Sorry it took so long to upload something. Hope you enjoy ;)
Set after Resurrection, if Ghastly lived/Tanith never left.
Valkyrie and Skul married/engaged/dating, you get to decide!
"What is it, Bespoke?" Irritation filled his normally smooth and velvety tone.
"Skulduggery!" Ghastly's tone starkly contrasted his. "I have big news."
"What?" He hated being interrupted, and neither did Valkyrie. She was glaring at him impatiently.
"We have a lead!"
"A lead on what?"
"You know what I'm talking about. The main case? The looming threat that could destroy our world as we know it?"
"Fine. Yes, yes, Abyssinia, a lead, are we done now?"
"Don't you want to know what the lead is?"
Skulduggery sighed. Valkyrie rested her head on his shoulder in comfort and snuggled closer to him.
"Sure." His tone was less than enthusiastic.
"Well," He heard the creak of Ghastly sitting at his desk chair, "We know Nye is working for her."
Valkyrie could hear everything, and she raised her eyebrows. He gave her a look that said 'quiet!' She frowned, but kissed him instead of saying anything.
"Yes." He was still annoyed, but the kiss had softened him up a bit. Skulduggery wasn't in quite so bad a mood now.
"We have a location." Valkyrie kissed him again.
"Okay." Another kiss.
"Guess where it is." Kiss.
"Where?" Yet another kiss, although this one was on his collarbone.
Ghastly said something else. A kiss on the other collarbone.
"Interesting." Valkyrie was smiling at him. Skulduggery couldn't focus on anything but her.
"Skulduggery?" Ghastly's tone had changed. Skulduggery didn't really care.
"Yes?" A kiss on the shoulder.
"You're distracted." A kiss on the forehead. She was covering him in kisses.
"Mhmm," he agreed. Valkyrie was so beautiful.
Ghastly started chuckling. Valkyrie looked at the phone confused.
"You go enjoy yourself, Skulduggery," Ghastly said. "And say hi to Val for me, too."
