Summary
“If you’re a time traveller,” Hopeless asked, “when did you come from?”
Hopeless had moved nearer to Larrikin, who had not really sobered, and was still looking excessively happy with himself for no particular reason.
“I … two thousand and seventeen,” Valkyrie said, and then she looked at Skulduggery, “help me up.”
The skeleton took a moment to move, and then he extended a hand and supported her arms so she could stand. There was an overwhelming lack of familiarity in his behaviour.
“Alright,” Dexter said, “So that’s how you know Skulduggery.”
Valkyrie frowned, “I didn’t expect you to take that so well.”
“Well,” Larrikin said from the floor, where Dexter had dropped him sometime during his laughing fit. “You’re not the first.”
Or, Valkyrie travels back in time and meets the Dead Men. She finds them very different to what she expected.
