Jack turned to the next page in the black binded folder. The next page bore a photo of a man with black hair, glasses and a loose pin striped suit. He was not smiling. It looked like him, Jack thought, but there was something odd. The look in his eyes didn't seem like him at all. "Hmm... 1931 was the year I died." said Skulduggery, "Actually I died 3 days after you."
Jack turned to the next page which had his birth certificate and medical records. There wasn't much information here. Basic things, doctors appiontments and such. Jack did notice though that those appionments started to stagger, getting less and less until none were present in 1928. Jack didn't know if this had meaning but he turned to the next page.
To his absolute surprise, it was a criminal record. Jack gripped the folder tighter. He could feel Skulduggery reading over his shoulder. The record listed theft, kidnap, illegal trading, hacking, and murder... Jack couldn't tear his sockets away. "This can't be true." he whispered. Skulduggery sighed from behind him, "I was helping a criminal." "I'm not a criminal." Jack said mostly to himself. He turned the page and what lay before him were police notes for every crime mentioned.
Skulduggery was pretty much fed up with this but one paper in Jacks hands stood out to him. Jack turned the page. "Wait, wait, wait! Go back." The paper stated the murder of two people...
October 22 1931 Report
We have reason to believe that Rozario Vincente had took part in the murder of Samantha Pleasant of 21 years and Johnathan Pleasant of 3 years Saturday night October 19, 1931. Rozario Vincente is guilty for giving information to the murderer of the Pleasants.
Skulduggery could not continue reading any further. He pulled his hand back and took a step to his left. Jack tensed he had hoped Skulduggery would have over looked this report. He could see Skulduggerys fist clench. Jack began to back away slowly. He flinched as Skulduggery punched a nearby cabinet of files. It fell back unto the others, knocking them down like dominos. Skulduggery walked away, his hands deep in his pockets.
Jack felt a presance behind him and turned around. Valkyries face was confused. "What happened? What's wrong with Skulduggery?" Jack didn't know what to do. Should he tell her? Valkyrie didn't wait for his response. She ran to where Skulduggery disappeared. Jack stood there silently. A million questions running through his head. After a few minutes of thinking he deciede to check on the other skeleton man.
Halloween Town...
This is in the melody of Kidnap the Sandy Claws.
-All-
La la la la la la
Capture Halloween Town
Put Jack to the test
Keep him guessing all the time
Never let him rest
-Lock-
First we're going to set some bait
Inside the depths of Oogies hate
So when Jack comes around
We'll go and pound him to the ground
-Shock-
Wait! I've got a better plan
To kill this skinny skeleton man
We'll chop him there in the spot
Then we'll bury him and let him rot!
-All-
Capture Halloween Town
Put our plans to work
With Vengeous on our side
We won't have to lurk
-Barrel-
Then Mister Oogie Boogie Man
-Shock-
Can take the whole town over then
-Lock-
He'll be so pleased I do declare
-All-
The whole world should beware
Wheeeee.....
-Shock-
The only thing in our way
Is that Skulduggery Pleasant I would save
Once he finds out Jacks mistake
Mister Pleasant we will take!
-Barrel-
Your so stupid Think now-
If we take that other skeleton man
He would challenge Vengeous
-Shock, Lock-
Well I guess we wont tell either of them!
-All-
Capture Halloween Town
Jack will never win
When we get the sharp Skulduggery
He will do him in
-Shock-
Because Mr. Oogie Boogie is the meanest guy around
-Lock-
Now with Vengeous and Mr. Pleasant
-All-
We will take the town
-Lock-
He'll be so pleased with our success
That he'll reward us too I bet
I wonder what it's going to be
-All-
We cannot wait to see!
We're his little henchman and we take our job with pride
We do our best to please him
And stay on his good side
La la la la la la
Capture Halloween Town
Slice up Mister Jack
Throw him in the ocean then
See if he comes back
Capture Halloween Town
Put Jack to the test
Keep him guessing all the time
