Tanith knocked on Ghastly's house's front door and a woman wearing boxing gloves answered. "Oh, hello, girls. Hi Tanith. they're all upstairs." His mum rolled her eyes and they all ran up to his room.

Tanith opened the door and peeked in. "Huh? Where are they?" She said.

"I'll text Saracen!" Aurora yelled and got out her phone.

In Ghastly's bedroom. Where r u guys? Aurora xxx

Go to roar haven. Am sneaking in the sanctuary ;) xxx

Dear god. Okay. A xxxx

"Roar haven?" Valkyrie asked once they were back in the car. "Is that where the sanctuary is?"

"Yeah. Also where the Gaol is. Holding cells. Dangerous criminals are there." Tanith looked back at her then narrowly missed running over a cat. "They better not be doing anything stupid."

"Let's do something stupid!" Erskine yelled.

"How about we break into the sanctuary?" Dexter said sarcastically. Then grinned. "I'm a genius!"

"I'm not breaking into the Sanctuary." Shudder said.

"Why not?" Dexter smirked. "Pretty please. If we get caught say you tried to stop us."

"I...fine. But if we get caught I'm blaming everything on you lot."

"It's their fault!" Shudder screeched as he heard a bang. He turned round and saw Aurora, Tanith and Melancholia smiling at them.

"Where's Valkyrie?" Skulduggery asked.

"She's claustrophobic so she tried to find another way in." Tanith went up to her boyfriend and kissed him on the cheek. "I'll call her to make sure she's okay."

Her phone was ringing. Valkyrie struggled then finally managed to get it and answer it. "Tanith now is not a good time." She hissed.

"Where are you? We're having a campfire. Skulduggery made fire outside and Saracen, for some reason, had marshmallows in his pockets."

"Just put me on with Skulduggery." She said and waited impatiently.

"Hello?" Skulduggery said after a minute or two. "What's wrong?"

"I'm stuck!" She whispered.

"Where?"

"In an air vent above the Gaol."

"Stay right there. I'm on my way!"

Valkyrie waited a bit until she heard the Gaol door opening and some of the prisoners hissed and yelled. "Val?" He said. She banged on the ceiling then felt herself begin to slide slowly. The ceiling was opening up. She whimpered a bit and then a tile fell. Her head hung out of the ceiling while her arms tried desperately to get a grip on a tile.

"Oh hi." Skulduggery used his air magic to shoot up and deposited her safely on the ground. "You okay?"

She coughed and brushed herself down. "I'm fine. Bit embarrassed."

"Nothing to be ashamed of. I once got stuck in a wall." He admitted. She stared at him. "Don't tell anyone I told you that."

"Howdid..."

"Shush." Skulduggery stopped and she heard footsteps and yells.

"Oh God." She groaned as the door flung open and Meritorious glared at them.

"Pleasant! Cain!" He snapped. "My office now!"

11:23pm

Valkyrie slid into bed, relieved that no-one had invited her anywhere tomorrow. She was tired. Skulduggery was going to take all the blame but she intervened so now they both had warnings. The rest of the Dead Men and the girls had been escorted back home but embarrassingly, Desmond came to pick them up. He spent the two hour car ride staring at Skulduggery and tutting. Then, they dropped Skulduggery off and Valkyrie got a strict warning from her mum and a compliment on her rebelliousness from her dad.

She frowned as she got a text. It was too late for texting.

She smiled.
