I'm here, with my next chapter in my fabulous story today, people. I'm on a streak. Yeah. Please enjoy. Read, and review, as said. Adrasdos Dark, Jameson Croon, Daniel, Libintia, and Rane. So, no takesies. Without my permission, of course. Here we go:

We were suddenly a dark alley near the ice skating rink. It was morning, and the sun was just rising. The ice skating rink hadn't opened yet, but the Empire State building was right near that. I poked my head out the alleyway, and looked both ways. No one was there, or coming. I motioned for Eternal to follow me.

We hurried out of the alley, and began walking down the street, with our heads facing the ground. We were walking briskly in the cold weather. We passed an alarming rate of people soon enough, we were at the Empire State Building.

I turned, and waited outside, while Eternal went and did her thing. I was just standing there –loitering, is what I was told the technical term is- when a cop came up.

"You're under arrest, son." He gruffly mentioned. He grabbed my wrist, but I wrenched it away, talking.

"Now, you wait just a minute here. I'm waiting for my friend here. She is going to have a tour here in a few days, and she just wanted to know if her guide would still be coming. He is Australian, so…" I trailed off.

"Yeah. Right, kid. You were loitering." The cop told me. I raised an eyebrow, and forced out my trademark grin.

"I've been standing here for a minute and a half. That's not loitering. And actually, I was talking on my Bluetooth. You came out, and I put it away, knowing that you'd need to talk to me for some absurd reason."

"Son, I don't got any time for this. You're coming with me for loitering and stalling. You're going to have to spend the night in jail, I'm afraid."

"Please no, sir. You can't tell my parents. They… They get angry easily." I hinted, and his face clicked. I could almost hear hid 'click'. He smiled sweetly, and then stood next to me.

"Well, then I'm just going to have to wait with you for your pretty lady coming out soon. Very soon." He smiled, but there was an explosion, and Eternal was suddenly next to me.

"Fletcher, we have to go. We can't be too close to a burning building, you know. Good day to you officer." Eternal rushed. She grabbed my arm, and pulled me away, as debris began to sprinkle down to the ground. A small crowd had begun to form around the building.

We had to shove past people, mumbling apologies at them. No one even formed an aisle for us. Everyone was screaming and running around like a chicken with its head cut off.

"What did you do?" I yelled at Eternal, above the noise of the crowd. A tall man with a floppy hat on looked at us, while Eternal told me what happened.

"I set aflame the elevator. It fell, and then exploded. Period."

"You just damaged a national capital." The tall man yelled at Eternal. Many people stared at us, and began to close in.

"Suggestions?" I asked.

"Pretty bloody obvious, Fletcher." She scowled. We immediately took off running in fourth gear. Eternal was shoving people out of the way this way and that. She'd grab onto the pockets of their coats to keep herself from falling. We rounded a corner to meet a riot of people with torches and guns. My eyes grew huge.

I whipped around to see many cops coming our way. I shared a glance at Eternal, and took her shoulder, and hauled her down an alleyway. I looked up at a fire escape, and teleported to the highest I could see.

Metal was beneath my feet. Eternal ran up before me, up to the top. When we were close enough, Eternal manipulated the air to send her over the top. She then reached down, and helped me see the roof top. I fell back down to the floor, then teleported to the parapet. I landed with my feet perfectly balanced.

I stepped down, right next to eternal. She placed her hand on my shoulder, and we teleported back to Jameson's house. Jameson was sitting in a big red chair, reading the paper.

"Hello Eternal, Fletcher. So did you manage to trash the Sydney opera House and The Empire State Building? Judging by all of the panicked thought in America and Australia, you did. Congrats."

"Yes, thank you lots, Fletcher. I wouldn't be surprised that the next time we meet, I'll be behind bars, then you'll be too busy to get me out. Well, here is your half a million in mullah." Eternal held out fifteen brown leather wallets. I rifled through them.

"You keep fifteen wallets?" I questioned. Eternal shook her head in glee.

"No, those aren't mine. During the fall of the Empire State Building, I pickpocketed many Europeans. They smell like Europe. All the American small like… I'm not sure. But that's half a million, there."

"You never had the money in the first place, and you were just relying on the fact that you would pickpocket it all?" I wondered incredulously. Eternal grinned, and shook her head up and down. I gave her a cocky grin, and shook her hand.

"Well, if you'll excuse me, I have to get interrogated by some Irish Sanctuary Associates. Good day to you." Eternal tipped her hat, and turned out the door. I raised an eyebrow, and then turned to Jameson, who wasn't there. In her place was a note.

Fletcher-

You must hurry to get to Valkyrie Cain in time. You have the money, and now you must be there in three hours. It may not seem that way, but you were gone for a day. I have contacted Skulduggery for you, and he is already at your apartment. Go now, Renn, and good luck with Ferrus.

~ Jameson Croon

I closed my eyes and teleported to my apartment. Skulduggery was sitting on my couch with his skull in his gloved hands. He looked up when he heard me. I dropped the wallets on the table.

"Well, fancy that lot of cash."

PLEASE REVIEW PEOPLE.
