As soon as Dexter and Ezra walked in, Valkyrie observed, they became different people. Lila May was a very flirty person, suggestively swaying her hips to the beat of the overtly loud music, smiling, winking and giggling as she made her way through the crowd. Andrew Irk was a brooding man, replacing Dexter's permanent easy-going smile with a scowl. He barged into people without a word, ignoring everyone around him. He did that annoying walk like he was carrying two rolled up rugs underneath both arms, his chest leading the way. Valkyrie and Skulduggery were not that good at this kind of thing. Valkyrie tried to follow Ezra's lead, but apparently Sarah Hart had as much rhythm as a piece of paper. Skulduggery wasn't doing any better. Dexter sat down and Ezra sat flirtatiously on his lap, Skulduggery and Valkyrie sat down in the booth, awkward. Ezra was looking at Dexter but talking to them. "Perk up, guys. You look out of place. Out of place is bad." She said in a low voice, then burst into a high-pitched very un-Ezra giggle. Valkyrie and Skulduggery shared and glance then followed suit to the best of their abilities. They scanned the crowd, looking for anyone they recognised who would be with the Supreme council. "Blue hair, 5 o'clock. Leather catsuit, 3 o'clock." Skulduggery said quietly. Valkyrie gazed around too. "Mohawk at bar. Cat ears 7 o'clock." She said. Ezra giggled again then went to get drinks, all swaying hips and red lips. Dexter said something about dancing and went to the woman in the catsuit. Both Valkyrie and Skulduggery kept a close eye on one or the other. Ezra was trailing her hands down Mohawk's chest and laughing. Dexter had been dragged to the other side of the room and pressed against a wall as catsuit ran her hands through his hair.
"Are they doing it?" Valkyrie asked.
"Yes."
"What exactly are they doing?"
"Starting point. They can't exactly walk up and demand information. They're playing their part. Oh, look at that, Lila was just roofied, excuse me."
By the time Skulduggery had got there, Ezra had already drank her drink. "Excuse me." Skulduggery said, grabbing Ezra's arm and pulling her to the table. She sat down. "I feel funny." She said. The room tilted around her. "Do you want to leave?" Valkyrie asked. Ezra shook her head. Mohawk sat down next to Ezra. He grinned, running his hand up her arm. She pushed him away, swaying. "No..." She mumbled. He didn't stop. "Get off of her." Skulduggery said. "Awite bruv, just jokes, just jokes." He said, laughing. Valkyrie despised everything about this man. Skulduggery slid out of the booth and stood up, "Sarah, please take Lila to the restrooms." Skulduggery said. Valkyrie grabbed Ezra hand and led her away from Mohawk. Ezra was leaning on her. "My head feels..." Her words were slurring. Dexter eyed them from across the room. He raised his eyebrow, and Valkyrie shook her head as she saw him about to walk away from Catsuit. He nodded and turned his attention back to her. They were in line for the bathroom, Valkyrie supporting Ezra. Cat ears saw them and walked over. "Hey, is she okay?" She asked, gesturing towards Ezra. Valkyrie nodded. "I think so... Somebody put something in her drink." Cat ears narrowed her eyes, muttering something that sounded suspiciously like click, under her breath. "You'll want to give her lots of water, to drink and to put on her face. Also, I'd take her to get air." Valkyrie nodded. She had no reason to trust this girl, but Ezra was practically asleep standing up. Cat ears smiled then walked away, saying something about feeling better tomorrow. They finally made it to the bathroom, and Valkyrie sat Ezra down on the floor. She got a paper towel, got it wet, squeezed out the excess water and pressed it lightly to Ezra's forehead. Ezra grabbed Valkyrie's forearm. "Can I tell you something?" She asked, whispering for some reason. "Sure...?"
"I'm in love with Dexter." She said. Valkyrie looked at her, not knowing what to say. Ezra's eyes were glazed and unfocussed, and her head was lolling back and forth. Valkyrie hoisted Ezra up and walked back to the booth, the bassline of the music vibrating through out her entire body. She sat Ezra down, and she proceeded to fall until her head rested on Skulduggery's shoulder. The club was dark, with trashy lights that flashed different colours. Dexter walked over, purple lipstick along his jaw and down his neck. "Got it." He said, wiping the lipstick away with a napkin. "What happened? Is she okay?"
"She was roofied." Valkyrie informed him.
"Who the fu-"
"I took care of him." Skulduggery said, sipping his drink. "We should go though." Dexter hoisted Ezra up and walked out, the Bouncer glancing questioningly at them as they walked out. They all got into the Bentley, Dexter making a mental reminder to come back and get the Harley. Ezra head was on his lap and she was asleep. No one said anything in the car. Then Dexter's phone rang. Madame Mist. He tried to keep the disgust from his voice. "Hello?"
"Is your missions complete?"
"Yes."
"Good. Come in for a briefing."
No."
"Excuse me?"
"Can't."
Valkyrie looked back, hearing the edge in Dexter's voice. She whispered "Me and Skulduggery will go, don't worry." Dexter nodded.
"Val- Miss Cain and Mr Pleasant will be there shortly."
"I want to see all of you."
"That won't be possible." He hung up before she could say anything. His phone rang again, this time Erskine. "What's wrong?"
"Ezzy was roofied."
"Really? Is she okay?"
"Yeah, she's asleep right now. We don't know what it is though. I just want t-"
"You don't have to explain yourself. Mist is having a fit that you hung up in her." Dexter snorted. "Good. Skulduggery and Valkyrie will be there soon."
"Okay, see you tomorrow then."
Erskine hung up this time, and for the remainder of the drive, Dexter filled Valkyrie and Skulduggery in on everything he had gotten, sparing no details. Then they were at Dexter's. They said their goodbyes, and Dexter carried Ezra in bridal style. He laid her down on the couch, waved out the door, then closed it as the Bentley sped away.
