Q is for Quake
Skulduggery cursed as he ran through the ruined asphalt of the street, having been forced to leave his Bently at his home because a tree decided to ruin his day, seeing the fires and ruins that was now the old town of Haggard. He really didn't care much for the town anyway, but one of the occupants…
He jumped over a broken-down fence, swearing again as his coat caught but did not rip. Just this once, he thought that it might have been preferable that it did.
Finally he got to where her old house was, and began to yell. "Valkyrie! Valkyrie!" Shoving a timber out of his way, he was half-surprised to hear a thunk as behind him was hit by the piece of wood. He turned, and gaped.
Stephanie glared at him, covered in soot, bruises, and blood. Her hair was flat on one side and looked a little burnt on the other, not the nicest of contrasts. "That was just what I needed. A piece of wood that used to be my house thrown into my face. Thank you ever so much- What the hell are you doing?!"
