"What do you mean?"Skulduggery asked dumbstruck which is all the time.
"I don't know!"She shrugged curling into a ball on the floor and then stood suddenly.
"Gotta go."
"But you just got here."
"Dont tell me what to do!"
"But-"With that she left.
The next day...
There was a fevered hammering at the door.
"What?'Skulduggery opend the door, it was MercyFul.
"He's gone! And theres a ransom note!" She held it high and trudged in. He took the paper and read it out loud.
"5000 or else! That's it? How did they get Stewart? Hes a fighter." She shrugged sheepishly.
"I was in the shower." She stared at him and then began to cry.
"Come one lets distract you while I think of a plan."
1 hour later...
"Skulduggery are you considered bald?"MercyFul asked rapping a green lock of hair around her finger. He turned sharply at her.
"I dont have a clue."
"Oh..."
"So when are you going to put down the cards?"
"When you stop being an egomaniac."
"Pfft never then."
"Shut up you bone head."
"Moody."
"Shut up!"MercyFul screamed and burst into tears. "Where oh where could my Stewart be?"
