They sat in the Bentley and stared blankly ahead.

"So we're going after it...?" Valkyrie started not even bothering to keep the excitement from her voice. Skulduggery kept his eyes ahead.

"I am."

"What?" Valkyrie glared at him, but Skulduggery kept his eyes on the street in front of them.

"I am going after them."

"As in I'm not?"

"Yes." Val hardened her glare and fought the urge to hit him.

"No." Finally he looked at her.

"Excuse me?"

"No you're not going without me." She swore he was arching his eyebrow.

"Oh really?"

"Yes."

"Then I'll chain you to the car." He fixed his eyes back on the road. She snorted.

"Yeah right. That's what we in the real world like to call child abuse."

"Even so."

"You wouldn't have the guts..."

3 Hours Later

He looked at her across the seat and saw the unhappiness and anger clear on her face.

"Don't be angry."

"How am I not supposed to be angry!"

"It could be worse."

"You chained me to the car and left me in here for three hours while you went off to do your hero thing!!! And I'm still chained!" She swore she saw a slight grin reach his teeth.

"Just to make sure"
