The first meeting

Ghastly and Tanith were the only ones there when Skulduggery and Valkyrie arrived, they were in a rather heated debate about which weapon was better, A sword or a gun, Tanith of course was vouching for a sword and insulting guns in order to try and win the arguement. Valkyrie sat down on the sofa and flicked through a TV magazine that was close by.

"Why haven't Fletcher and China arrived yet?" Skulduggery questioned Tanith and Ghastly, interrupting their argument, they looked up and Ghastly answered "No Idea"

"Why is it that Fletcher is a teleporter and can get anywhere in a few seconds yet he's always late?" Tanith asked in return. Skulduggery shrugged and sat by Valkyrie humming the Mercy tune, Valkyrie groaned and said "Stop, Stop!" Skulduggery stopped and China walked through the door flustered, Skulduggery looked at the clock, then her and pulled a face that Valkyrie thought was meant to be raising his eyebrows but it was hard to tell seeing as he was a skeleton with no facial hair what so ever.

"Bloomin' taxi driver" Was all that China mumbled, apart from China they all smiled, it was common knowledge what effect China's looks had on people, she had probably had to endure the journey with the taxi driver telling her how much he loved her and then when he had dropped her off he had probably proposed to her, saying how much he would miss her if he never saw her again.

Then Fletcher was by the fireplace which unfortunately was where Valkyrie was on her way to the kitchen, they both landed in a heap,

"Oww you blithering idiot"

"Oi! And mind the hair, the hair!" Fletcher whimpered

"Who cares about your hair? I certainly don't and get your foot off my face!"

Everyone had been watching this with amusement on their faces but when Valkyrie stood up and dusted herself off they all turned away and acted like they had seen nothing. Fletcher appeared by the mirror and grumbling tried to fix his hair.

Finally they all sat down and Skulduggery started the meeting.

"Anything to report?"

"The Evilles are on the move so I've heard" China inputted

Fletcher gulped "The Evilles? Who are they?"

"Just a little group of people who want revenge which is why we should watch our backs in case they rip our throats out" Skulduggery informed him

"Way to break the news, Way to break the news" Fletcher mumbled

Valkyrie interrupted him "But we should all be fine, it's what we do every day the only thing different is that these people want revenge on us, we'll be fine"

Skulduggery beamed "Precisely"

"Nothing else then really" Tanith said

Skulduggery looked a bit put out, but still managed to set some orders, "We watch our backs and everyone elses, anything suspicious and we tell one another immediately, you understand?"

Everyone nodded and Skulduggery started singing "You got be begging you for mercy"

"Oh yes I soon will have"

This voice was a dark voice that came from a dark figure in the doorway, Everyone stood, Tanith drew her sword, Fletcher teleported to the back of the room, Wuss Valkyrie thought as she clenched her fists along with Ghastly who was also cracking his fingers, China prepared her symbols and Skulduggery drew out his gun, pointing it directly towards the figure. The figure just laughed and then the electricity went out.

This is fun!

Before I continue I would like at least two reviews so its cliffy for now ;)
