I lost my soul gem somewhere in the city. I wasn't mugged, so either our mysterious antagonist hired an extremely talented thief, or there was a hole in my pocket.
[He hesitates.]
I can't stand up. If you could try to find it - or Erskine, if you're busy.
We'll be faster if it's the both of us. How long has it been, and where are you?
[He's guessing Wreath's, since that's where Skulduggery's been most of these days, but it doesn't hurt to be sure. Before Keeliai, the two hated each other.]
Wreath's. I first noticed it missing this morning. Raine thinks it's been gone since yesterday. I don't remember where I was; I just know the gem isn't here.
[They searched the apartment already, just in case.]
If this follows the pattern of previous thefts, I should have it back by the end of tomorrow. The problem is that it hasn't followed any of the patterns so far.
[Skulduggery gives Anton a list of places. Most of them are within the city, fortunately, but he did wander past the walls for a bit the day before. He should probably count himself lucky he didn't decide to go flying up to Asti's head, which would have given Anton several square miles of wilderness to search through.]
[If it's there to find, they'll find it. Some kedan aren't going to sleep well tonight. Others will, so long as they tell the truth and don't actually have anything to do with Skul's soul-gem disappearing.]
