"No, nothing." In a way, Skulduggery's confidence was comforting. Even with his shadow flickering across the floor, a skeleton in a suit and ostensibly something over which to be concerned, the way he approached the room easily was encouraging. Gabe had no trouble letting him take the lead in such a large room. It opened into the sky, but for the first time in his life Gabe couldn't look at it.
Clear skies and a million stars against the blackness of a new moon's night. Freedom. An entire cosmos over his head, and he was bound here on Earth in an Institute of horror.
For the first time he understood, a little, how Lucifer felt.
"It's been a while since then. Long enough to wear off, I think." He couldn't keep the relief out of his voice at that fact.
He just hoped Skulduggery was equally right about the cafeteria. Gabe had never been in there before, not at this time of night. Taking a deep breath to soothe his pounding heart, the Archangel followed the skeleton through the doors.
