2 hours later...

Everyone was in the sea except Skulduggery and Valkyrie who were kissing on the beach. Valkyrie had one leg on either side of Skulduggery's waist she was leaning down to kiss him.

"Mhhh Skul, I love you"

"I love you too babe"

"You know with should do this more a family day out" She finished kissing him and layed down next to him resting her head on his chest.

"Yeah, just me, you and the kids." She smiled at the thought.

"Dad,dad,dad!" Josh came running up

"What? What? What?" He sat up and Valkyrie did the same next to him.

"Come look at the whole me and Harley dug!" He tucked on his dad's hand.

"okay one minute i'll meet you over there" Josh ran back to where Harley was.(In a hole in the sand)

"How are kids amused by digging a hole?"

"How are you amused me making a fool of myself?" Answered Val.

"Touche" He got up and gave Valkyrie a last kiss then walked over to the boys.

"Muuuuummmm!" Valkyrie looked around to find Lauren being pulled behind a rock. She suddenly stood up and looked at the see everyone was in the sea or on the beach.

"LAUREN!" Val saw everyone look her way as she ran towards where Lauren was pulled back.

Everyone ran behind Valkyrie as she turned the corner next to the rock.

"Lauren where are you?" There was no-one behind the rock. abaut one thing she did see was

CRACKS!

There was cracks on the rocks.

"Sanguine" Valkyrie whispered to herself. Skulduggery and the others came up behind her.

"I'm going to kill him"

5 minutes later...

"I just got off the phone to Madame Mist, she has sent 3 groups of cleavers out on a man hunt for Sanguine" Ravel informed them closing his phone. Skulduggery was searching the scene for any clues. Vex and Shudder were looking on the sand dunes for any sign of Sanguine. Ghastly and Erskine were sorting out search groups from the Sanctuary. Valkyrie and Tanith were sorting Josh and Harley out at the car getting ready to go back home.

"Tanith what if somethings happened to her?"

"Nothing is going to happen to her, Val. She's going to be fine we'll find her"

"Mummy where's Laury?" Josh asked from the back seat of the Lamborghini.

"Lauren has gone away to stay with Untie Alice for a couple of days hunny" She shut there door. Tanith was looking at her.

"What? It's not like I can tell him that his sister has been kidnapped by physco!"

"Yeah okay" Harley was in the back of the Lamborghini with Josh.

"I'll call my mum and drop Harley and Josh at hers. The guys are going in the Range Rover to the Sanctuary and me and you are going to help out the cleavers on the search okay?"

"Yep"
