Michael waited at the steps of the house.
Two hours past and jet nothing happened still.
Another oras added on to that and he started to get worried. “What if something happened to her?”He asked himself “What if something Skulduggery Pleasant killed her?”Michael thought a lot to himself. He started to pace, “No, of course not, she’s fine. Just running a bit late,” He sinabi to himself, “But I’m going to phone her anyway. Just to make sure.” He raced into the house and grabbed the phone. He dialled the number and in the segundo ring she answered, “This is a bad time!” she yelled.
“Where are you!?” Michael asked impatiently. Then all of a sudden Michael heard a loud bang that came from the phone.
“Alex. Alex are you okay!?” Michael yelled into the phone.
“I’m fine don’t worry about it,” she whispered
“What was that?” he asked confused, then another bang went off,
And the phone cut. He slammed the phone down and started to weep.............................................................
After a few hours the phone rang and Michael picked it up immediately.
‘Hey.’ She sinabi no louder than a whisper it was course and rough.
“Alex you don’t sound to good is everything okay?” Michael asked
“YIP, doesn’t worry I’m fine just a sore.” She assured him
“You sure, what was that noise?” He asked
“Well I suppose you will eventually find out, I might as well tell you.” She stated
“What are you talking about?” He asked confused
“I was shot, but don’t worry I’m fine now!” she sinabi between coughs
“Alex you were shot, how can you be fine?” Michael questioned
“I’d pag-ibig to answer that question; it’s just Kenspeckle would like to speak to you. She stated

“Michael.......”
“Is she going fine?” Michael sinabi interrupting him.
“Don’t talks just listen?” Kenspeckle commanded
“But ...............” Michael stuttered
“I sinabi don’t talk.” His voice stern and firm”
“Diamond is fine after all i am the greatest medical scientist this world will ever know, well getting to the point if you wish to see her I will send someone to fetch you.” Kenspeckle exclaimed
“Yes I would like to see Alex.” Michael whispered
“Very well, send someone to fetch you,”

He stood up and gracefully walked outside to go wait for whoever Kenspeckle sent to pick him up, after a few minutos past a 1954 Bentley came up the driveway and reared it in the parking. A tall gentleman in a pin striped suit and a fedora to match stepped out of the car, it was only after he turned to face me that I recognised him it was skulduggery pleasant......

“What did u do to her?” He accused.
“NOTHING, I have done nothing to her and wish for the conversation to end and if I don’t get what I want. I’ll become your worst nightmare understand”.
