Chapter 3- Expect the unexpected but also the expected
Her hand closed on the door handle and pushed…
She charged headlong into the room and swung a punch at the person sitting behind her desk. She caught his shirt in one hand and drew back her fist and felt the presence of darkness close around it. She looked at her victim searching for a weak spot to strike only to find that she had just punched the Grand mage in the jaw.
"ahhh…
"Hello to you Valkyrie," coughed Bliss spitting out a tooth that she had managed to knock out.
Seeing there was no immediate threat in here she let go of his shirt but kept the shadows curled round her fist.
"What is it Bliss?" she asked slightly peeved that it was only the grand mage that she hit and not the intruder.
"Aren't you going to apologize for hitting the Grand Mage?"
"No."
Bliss nodded.
"So what's with the decoration upstairs?"
"So you figured it out I see?" Smirked Bliss, "I was aware of you great detective skills but I don't see how you worked out it was I that orchestrated this."
"It was quite simple really," She said leaning her back against one of the many book shelves lining the walls, "aside from the murder of all the remaining wax works to decorate you little crime scene the wax version of the security guard was rather crude, the lack of any magical traces told me it obviously was never alive in the first place. Did you keep it in a freeze or something?"
"Yes, we keep it I the cryogenic lab as a test subject. We actually thought it was rather realistic," said Bliss leaning back in his chair.
"His nose melted when you left it on the floor."
"ahhh…"
"It obviously doesn't do well at room temperature."
"Noted, so what else gave it away?"
"Your choice of fake blood." She made a face.
"Was it too obvious?"
"Yes and it tasted disgusting! What was with using ketchup anyway? I thought you were above amateurs?"
"Expect the unexpected but also the expected, Valkyrie." Intoned Bliss wisely.
Val promptly punched him in the face again.
"What was that for?" asked Bliss clutching face.
She shrugged, "You sounded like an idiot."
Bliss raised and eyebrow.
"Back to the conversation in hand. I knew it was you as no-one apart from me or you can break into this office without setting off one of the death traps."
"Should the sanctuary or I be aware that you have installed death traps in your office?"
"No, not really." She said fiddling with her nails.
"oh, ok"
"You really need to work on you breaking and entering skills. On the way over I was sneezing so many times I didn't know if someone was in my office or I was catching a cold."
"So how do you know that I wasn't hiding in your office from some invading dark force."
"You left the door unlocked."
"ahhh…"
"Is that becoming your catch phrase or something because you've been saying that a lot today."
Back at the farm a second round of greetings had taken place. Skullduggery had punched Fletcher (who was still lying unconscious on the lawn), high fived Tanith, Shook hands with the bald guy who turned out to be Ghastly ("loving the new hair cut" he commented), got told of by Kenspeckle for knocking out Fletcher and been ignored by Wreath( he didn't want to talk to him anyway).
It was good to be home.
