Corrival was awake. Awake and grumpy. Well, that made two of them.

What about a house phone? Surely Corrival would have a landline. Or, at the very least, his own mobile. Hopefully his own mobile; Ghastly didn't think he was capable of remembering ten elusive digits at the moment. "You have a phone I can borrow?"

Talking hurt. His voice was hoarse and croaky, his throat scratchy and parched. He needed water first, and with that vague thought in mind, Ghastly began making his slow and stumbling way towards the kitchen. "Need to call Skulduggery. God told me where the Desolation Engine's going off yesterday and I only just remembered." He stopped against the kitchen doorframe, leaning far too heavily against it for his taste, and tried his utmost best to think. "We need to look at all those teddy bears, just in case. Plus, Barney and Allie. God introduced us. We can't forget about them. I met them for a reason."

But first, water. And then making sure 80,000 people didn't die. What time was it? What time was the game supposed to start?
