After a moment, Skulduggery decided let that nickname and its preceding conclusion sail past without comment. They had much more important things to be concerned over than what mistaken impressions Kelly was entertaining.
The request was entirely understandable, if a bit frustrating. And Skulduggery was inclined to agree with Gabe; convincing Kelly and Janet of the danger Marr posed would be far easier than trying to bring Marr outside the shelter without arousing her suspicion. Every moment they spent here debating things was a moment Marr had to run into Saffron, and that wouldn't lead anywhere good. For one thing, Solomon probably wouldn't be happy if anything were to happen to Saffron. He acted like he didn't want anything to do with her and her spiritual transformation - and he probably didn't, to be fair. But he wouldn't be happy. Skulduggery knew the feeling all too well.
"Myron is an acquaintance of ours whom Marr blackmailed into helping her," he explained. "Apart from being newly deaf as a result of this blackmail, he's perfectly sane and would, as..." Gabs? "... as Gabrielle just said, love nothing more than to assist in arresting her. Would his testimony help?"
