8:00 A.M. That was the time in beautiful southern California. Usually Veronica would be awake and getting ready to do something at this time. Not today. Today her and her father just got off a plane from New York and jet lag was a bitch. All she wanted was this cab ride to be over and to get home and sleep in her comfy bed. They had spent a extra two days in New York City. Her dad had felt really bad about arriving late so he reschedualed the flight and made the calls he needed to get them to stay.
As they pulled up to their apartments she missed so much she leaned over and woke her dad up. As much as she may hate it here in Neptune she did enjoy her own bed and her own bathroom. The cab ride home was from LA and her dad had slept half of it. Finally the cab came to a stop and she stepped out. Now… I always thought home was where you were happiest or something along those lines. Nope. It's all a lie.
Veronica could only laugh at what she saw. It was a "Really? You're seriously here?" Laugh. She went to the back to get her bags and walked up to the door of the apartment where Sheriff Lamb was standing blocking her way in.
"Why if it isn't Deputy Lamb. What can we kind folks do for you?" Veronica said as she unlocked her door just wanting him to go away so she could sleep.
"Veronica Mars and her dear old daddy. Well, you see…. I have this little problem that happened a couple weeks ago where a kid jumped off a building and you Ms. Mars were there and according to the footage we have, created a crime" Lamb told Veronica in a sarcastically chipper voice she had wished she wouldn't have to deal with for a long while.
"What are you talking about" Veronica asks adding "Deputy" In a coy voice. "I told you everything that happened that night and Logan was right there and saw it all."
Lamb laughs at her mention of Logan Echolls "Well Mars, We actually have your Boyfriend in custody so he is not much of a witness" he finishes as he grabs her bags from her hands and sets them on the floor in front of the now open door. He reaches to his belt and grabs his handcuffs.
"Lamb. What are you doing? You know just as well as everybody else that boy jumped and Veronica and Logan had nothing to do with it." Keith walks away from the cab and up to Veronica putting his arm around her and facing Lamb with a stern fatherly look on his face. "Don't do this. Go do something like maybe solve crimes and put people who are guilty away."
Lamb steps behind Veronica opening the cuffs "Keith. I am doing my job. Solving crimes and catching murderers" He then cuffs Veronica and walks her toward his cruiser.
"Veronica Mars, You're under Arrest for being an Accessory to the Murder of Cassidy Casabluncas. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of Law. You have the right to an attorney. If you can't afford one, one will be appointed for you……" Lamb continued her rights as he shut the door and headed to the driver's door.
