Chapter One: Veronica Mars, PI extraordinaire

They had to stay at the scene of the bus crash for a long while after the bus had gone off. Lamb had come to question them and all Veronica wanted to do was leave. As soon as she was allowed to go she asked Weevil to give her a ride home. Of course he did, in the end, if she needed something, he was always there.

Her dad was waiting for her at home. She barley got through the front door before she was pulled in to a hug by her father. As soon as she got out of that hug Wallace pulled her into one. "Ok, guys, I do need to breath" she laughed as Wallace took a steep back.

Wallace didn't even answer, "So I brought a ton of movies and we are going to hang out"

Veronica just smiled and nodded. She hugged her father again before she and Wallace started walking toward her room. Veronica sighed as her cell phone started ringing. She pulled it out of her pocket and shook her head. It was the same number that she didn't recognize but had called her cell three or four times since the bus had crashed. She didn't want to answer it, some of the other kids said that reporters had gotten a hold of their phone numbers and had been calling trying to get interviews. Besides, Veronica wasn't really in the mood to talk to anyone she didn't know anyway.

Veronica, Wallace, and Back up (Back up seemed to be even more protective of her tonight, like he knew what all most happened to her) settled on to Veronica's bed and Wallace popped in the first movie. Veronica's phone rang once ever half an hour or so, always the same number. Three hours and about half way into the second movie Wallace asked her why she didn't just answer it. "I just don't feel like talking to anyone I don't know…epically not a reporter" Veronica answered.

"Well, you are Veronica Mars, PI extraordinaire, why don't you just find out who it is?" Wallace asked and Veronica shrugged.

The phone chose that moment to ring again and Veronica tried to ignore it but rolled her eyes and Wallace as he stared at her, "Now I'm curious" Veronica complained. She started to sit up but saw that her lap top was closer to Wallace, "Hand me that"

Wallace rolled his eyes and handed her the computer. She typed the number into prying eyez, "Well, I'll be damned" she muttered under her breath.

"What?" Wallace moved so he could see the computer screen, "Logan Echolls?"

Veronica closed the lap top, "You know, he's normally more creative that using a number I don't recognize to crank call me"

Wallace looked at her as if she was crazy, "V, the bus that you were supposed to be just went over a cliff, for all he knows you were on it, he's not prank calling you, he's checking up on you…man, maybe your not as good at this PI stuff as I give you credit for" Wallace shook his head slightly.

Veronica rolled her eyes but a few moments later Wallace looked at her, "If it was reversed, would you call him?"

Veronica stopped, yeah…of course she would. "I'll be right back" she said before grabbing her phone and walking to the bathroom. She opened her phone and called Logan's cell phone, opting for a number she knew, instead of the one he had been using to call her.

The phone only rang once before it went to voice mail, "This is Logan, and here's my inspirational message of the day, 'Try not to become a man of success but a man of value.' Albert Einstein."

Veronica had to try not to roll her eyes, "Logan, it's me…me Veronica. I know you've been calling me from your house, using a number I didn't know, I looked it up. I don't know if you were trying to make sure if I'm okay or not but I am. Um, when we stopped at the mini mart, I didn't get back on the bus, I thought…I thought I saw Lilly, and now I sound crazy, but uh, I'm fine, Duncan, Dick, Cassidy, they're all fine. Meg's in the hospital though. Okay, so that's all," Veronica said and whispered a quick, "Bye" before closing her phone and walking back into her room to finish the movie marathon.

What she didn't know was that in the other side of town nestled in the 90909 zip code Logan was listening to her message, holding back tears.

Her phone didn't ring again.
