"Hello?"
"I need to tell you something. Now in person."
"I'm at Ghastly's having an important meeting. Call me back later."
"Wait! Don't hang up! Skulduggery, you don't understand how important this is!"
"Val, now is not the time. I've got to go. It's about to start."
"But," Skulduggery hang up before she could persuade him to ditch the meeting and meet her. Valkyrie sighed. She was going to have to do this on her own. She dialed a new number into her mobile phone and waited.
"Hi Fletch. I need you to transport me to Ghastly's.

Fletcher Renn was there in a flash. He grabbed Valkyrie's hand and they teleported outside of the home of Ghastly Bespoke. They quickly climbed onto the roof of the house and listened for voices. Nothing.
"Wait." Fletcher whispered. "Sounds like down in the basement."
"How do we get in?"
"We teleport."
"You've been there?" Valkyrie asked, perplexed.
"Yeah. That's where Ghastly makes most of his clothes. I was lucky enough to have a look around down there." Fletcher replied.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Valkyrie asked, leaning forward to Fletcher. Fletcher took her hand and they were teleported to the corner of a large room filled with clothes and tables. A large table with notes, diagrams and blueprints lay on the table. Voices could be heard arguing from it.

"We cannot kill her!" The skeleton with the hat shouted at a figure across from the table.

"We have to! It's our only choice! She is too powerful! What if he captures her and uses her against us? What then Skulduggery?" An unfamiliar voice shouted back.

"Guys! Calm down." A calm voice spoke.

"No you calm down Dex! Skull boy over here doesn't understand how much of a threat she is to Scarfire! This is serious!"

"I know it's serious but we can't kill her. She is our only chance of beating him!" Skulduggery shouted.

"It's just too risky, Skulduggery." China Sorrows stated.

"We have to get rid of her! We have to get rid of Valkyrie Cain!" The unfamiliar voice shouted once more. Valkyrie froze. Why would they want to get rid of me?, Valkyrie thought. At this, Valkyrie charged out of the corner of the room towards the table. She surveyed the meeting. A group of 7 people were around the table. Five sitting, two standing. Skulduggery was one of those standing people.

"Valkyrie! What are you doing here?" Skulduggery ran towards her. I told you not come!"

"Get away from her!" A man shouted at Skulduggery.

"Who are you?" Valkyrie asked.

"My name is Fist Inaugural. You shouldn't be here." Suddenly, a crash echoed through the basement. Two people jumped down through the hole in the basement and started throwing fire at all the people. Valkyrie ducked and ran towards Fletcher who was still hiding in the corner. They touched fingertips and teleported.
