       hands raised in a placating gesture,        anton tries his best to block his way and        ensure that skulduggery does not leave the room               (       and possibly commit first degree murder, FRANKLY SPEAKING     )

         ‘ now, skulduggery, calm down. ’      he hesitates. the boy is a handful, sure,       but anton is sure he doesn’t deserve to        be      punched in the face

                      unless of course he breaks something, in which case shudder feels like he’d probably wave giant wads of cash at skulduggery while he beat the blonde up. 

‘ i’m sure he didn’t mean it.’ 

  “ I’m getting this desperate, rising urge    to deck Fletcher right in the face. “
