37Chapter 2- I'm back!
Previously"What the-." He started to think but then the light consumed him.
Skulduggery stumbled and he hit the hard earth of the farmyard. He looked around him. He was back on earth. How had he come get here? He looked over to his right and saw Fletcher with hishead! Ahh how he had missed it. The higher cheekbones, the smiling mouth, the straight-.
Skulduggery was cut out of his silent reminiscing when some one yelled at him.
"Move it bone bag!"
He looked ahead and saw to his great surprise China, Tanith, a man he kind of recognised with a baldhead, Kenspeckle, the girl, a whole load of Cleavers and Solomon Wreath? What was he doing here?
Skulduggery jogged over to the group.
"Nice to have you back Skul!" said the bald-headed man.
"Yeah ditto!"
"So nice to see you Skulduggery," said China flashing one of her famous smiles.
" How touching, but I cant say I'm particularly pleased to see you," drawled Wreath, " But my lady said you would be useful."
"He has the information we need and don't call me your lady. You know how I- incoming! Fletcher close it already!"
They all looked back towards the portal. The hand of the faceless one was groping around the edge trying to pull itself thought.
"Don't!" the girl yelled as the cleavers ran forwards to attack the enemy.
"
Why did he make me bring cleavers? I knew this would happen!" said the girl smacking her for head. The cleaver had now all disappeared through the portal and the Faceless one had pulled its self out. The portal was closing behind it.
The girl sighed and rolled up her sleeves.
"
Stand back," she called and looked directly at the faceless one. She wasn't burning up noticed Skulduggery. The girl raised her hands and directed them at the faceless one. Purple and green lightning erupted between them. There was a blinding flash and the faceless one was turn to ash. The portal closed.
" Well," she said, " that was fun!" Every one stared at her. "What?" They still stared.
"You just killed a god with your bare hand!" pointed out Tanith.
"Yeah so?"
"You have more strength than Mr Bliss!"
"Don't you mean had?" asked Skulduggery, "He died didn't he?"
" No I reincarnated him ages ago." Said the girl waving a hand dismissively.
Skulduggery's jaw hit the floor. Literally.
"Right then. I will see you three," she indicated to Tanith, Baldy and Skulduggery, "later. I trust you remember how to get to Gordon's Skulduggery?"
Skulduggery nodded.
" Your going into work after that?" asked Tanith incredulously.
"Yeah. See you tonight guys. Bye everyone!"
She ran towards one of the two motorbikes (the other being Tanith) parked in the lee of a big oak. Skulduggery watched a Valkyrie Cain rode of down the lane.
