A/N: Thnx for the reviews! Now heres the story.
Disclaimer: Is my name Derek Landy? NO. Do I live in Ireland? NO. (Yes, that's right stalkers, I just gave you a clue as to where I live. YOU HAPPY?)
Valkyrie woke up, her head ached and she didn't know where she was.
"Hello…?"
"Oh, goody, you're awake. I was starting to get worried! See Skulduggery, yet again, if I hadn't been here, you'd be without a partner. Obviously." It was Kenspeckle. What he said was true, she probably wouldn't have been alive if his abilities to heal hadn't been there to help her.
"What is going on?" Valkyrie asked, desperate for an answer.
"Well… let me think. Oh yes, Xander Navrátil was released from prison. He is trying to get back at Skulduggery for his betrayal to him. Or so he says. Personally, I think he was the one to betray Mr. Pleasant."
"Basically, what he is saying is that in order to destroy me, he must destroy all that matter to me."
"Awww, Skulduggery!"
"No time to get all mushy, we have work to do."
"Thanks again Kenspeckle!" Valkyrie said.
"Don't mention it… Skulduggery." Kenspeckle bowed his head slightly, as did Skulduggery.
They left Kenspeckle to work, walking back to the Bentley.
"How do we know he isn't part of something bigger?"
"Who, Xander?"
"Yeah."
"We don't. We are assuming."
