This is based on the Season 4 trailer
We knew it must have been something big when the boss called everyone in for a meeting. We just never imagined it could have been this big...
Walking in I look around and see everyone, my partner Callie Farmer, my ex Seth, my boss. Everyone is here yet no one knows why. Until Agent Russo walks in from stage left. Through my career in the FBI I have only seen Agent Russo twice, once at graduation from Quantico and once in passing in the office. All I knew about him was that when he was around something was going down.
"All right everybody I need your eyes and ears. I have finally gotten ATF's permission to move on The Terrible Two, the co-leaders of LA's most notorious drug cartel. They supply the rich and famous, and to get them we must pretend to be the rich and famous. Now would anyone like to volunteer to go in on this?"
Almost every hand went up in the room. Who wouldn't want to volunteer for this job? There were no dead bodies, no gruesome body parts to match up with their body's, and more then likely you would be payed to party the night away with the rich and famous. Everybody but me would want that job, they've never seen the dark side of the rich, and what being famous can do to the mind. They've never seen the repercussions unlimited money can do to a person. I have, I've lived through it.
Agent Russo looked around and finally ended his search staring at me. "Ah, Agent Mars thank you for volunteering, you and your partner please meet me in my office after this. All right everyone I need information, go to work!"
I'm still sitting in my seat wondering how I got the short end of the straw, why did he pick me? What can I do for him that any other willing person in that room can do?
Slowly I stand up and walk to the front of the room were Callie is already waiting for me.
"Sir, why did you pick me? I was the only one in the room not begging to get this job."
"Just for that reason Agent Mars, you will not be distracted by the lavish lifestyle, and you have connections."
"All right I understand the first point, but almost all of my connections hate me."
"But you have them."
"I'm confused." Callie butts in.
"Agent Mars have you not explained your um...situation to your partner?"
"I don't explain my situation to anyone sir."
"Wait what situation?"
I sigh and try to explain my life in a sentence or less. "Well lets see, I was friends with people in high places in high school and college, and have managed to piss off almost everyone."
"What?" Callie said still confused.
"She was the girl in the Lily Kane and Aaron Echols case." Agent Russo said helpfully.
"Oohhh, I get it now. Veronica why did you never tell me?"
"Because I didn't tell anyone, I wanted to leave my past behind, and hoped it would forget me too." I said with a sigh, knowing that all of it would come out soon.
"Well Agent Mars and Agent Farmer you will be portraying friends of a Los Angeles Laker, that should get you into the right parties."
"Oohh who?" Callie asked.
I sighed knowing how this would end up.
"Wallace Fennel." Agent Russo said with a sigh knowing too what Callie's reaction was going to be.
"OMG! He is so cute. I can't believe you convinced him to let us pretend to be his friend.
"He's not pretending Callie, he's one of my few friends that still speak to me from high school."
"Veronica you have been holding back, how could you not let me know that you are friends with The Wallace Fennel?"
"I never thought it was a big deal."
How could you not think that was a big deal?"
"Because I've dealt with bigger fish then him in pre-school."
"Veronica!"
"Girls. Girls! Y'all can talk about this later, can we please get back on task? We need to know who's dealing and who they are dealing to, and then we can trace that up stream to the top two."
"And he's not..." I ask trying to make sure the one person I don't want to see again will be involved in this case.
"Last we heard he was somewhere in Brazil surfing his problems away."
I sigh "That sounds like him."
"Who are y'all talking about?" Callie tries to but in again.
"We're going to have to have a long talk tonight Callie."
"Veronica you will be going as yourself as there is no way we will be able to hide your identity, and Agent Farmer you will be going as Kelly Weller. Is everything clear?"
"Yes sir." We both reply.
As soon as we walk out of the room Callie turns to me and squeals "you've been holding back on me Veronica Mars!"
