Faith pulled her shiny new motor bike up in front of the bar she had been coming to for the last few weeks she had been here. She, Spike and Buffy had come here looking for mini-slayers. Since Spike had come back he and Buffy were spending a lot of time together and Faith had gotten sick of being the third wheel. Luckily she found herself a back alley bar where she seemed to fit right in. She looked up at the sign above the door 'The River Stix'
"Ah nothing like a seedy bar to relieve some stress" she headed in with her bike helmet under her arm and took her usual seat at the bar. Everyone had given her dirty looks when she first turned up there but that soon changed after she got one of the Fitzpatrick's to scratch her itch. Danny was the cousin of the head honcho Liam so after that she was allowed to hang around. Faith stared at the glass of bourbon in front of her. She sensed some people enter the bar but didn't look up as they did until she heard Danny speak.
"Come here, check it out take a look" he taps a stain on one of the pool tables "That's my blood" he chuckles "Can you dig that?"
The small blonde girl he's with look warily from the stain to Danny
"What happened?" she asks a little worried
"It was a little barfight. Man, you should see the other guy. I got forty-five stitches." Danny pulls up the wife-beater to show off the scar on his stomach. "Good as new."
"Plastic surgeon did that?" she asks
"Yeah, well, I mean, he wasn't tryin' to make it look pretty, he was tryin' to stop the bleeding. Doctor Griffith's, uh..." he can't find the words so he shouts across the bar to Liam
"Liam hey Liam what do you call the good doctor he's what like a friend of the family type thing" Liam just narrows his eyes and watches them while Danny points to a girl at another table. "My niece Molly got freaked out called the ambulance and I got three months in county" Faith watches as Liam gets up from where he is and walks towards the pair. "I guess the doctor got in trouble too, huh? Oh well, all's well that ends well, right? I mean, it's a conversation piece, that's for sure." Liam walks around to the other side of the table
"Who are you?" he asks her
"Uh, Laurie. Her name's-" Liam stops Danny and addresses the blonde girl
"Who are you?" he asks again
"Uh, I'm Laurie." she answers nervously.
"She's gettin', uh, some plastic surgery done-" from behind them Molly speaks up
"Uh, her name's not Laurie. It's Veronica Mars, she goes to my school." Veronica spins around and stares at Molly who continues
"She's Keith Mars' daughter." Veronica turns back to face Liam, playing abashed but clearly scared.
"Go Pirates." Faith stared intently at the group waiting to see how things panned out
"Veronica. Well, you're about to tell me the real reason you're askin' about Doctor Griffith." Liam leans on the table while Danny steps up behind her. "You lie to me again and you really will need a good plastic surgeon." Veronica gulps "Tell me why you're here Veronica"
"No, it's...it really is plastic surgery. I just didn't want to use my own name because it was too embarrassing"
"You're a good liar that's gonna make things a lot tougher" Veronica backs away from the edge of the pool table, but Danny is waiting and grabs hold of her. Veronica twists and ducks, planting her taser in his stomach. As Danny goes down, Veronica runs. Liam pushes a stack of beers on a trolley at her. Veronica goes down. Liam walks up to her as she lies, flat on her back, waving the taser. Liam grabs her wrist and twists until she drops the taser with a cry of pain. With one hand still on her wrist, he used the other to grab her by her belt at the front of her jeans and lifts her bodily off the floor, swinging her in an arc and landing her on the pool table. One hand easily encompasses her neck. Veronica desperately tries to pull his arm away, to no avail.
"Oh alright then that was fun" Veronica makes a choking sound. "But let's not stop there. Mark, Mark." The tattooist who was working at the back of the room looks up from his work. "Bring it here." Mark puts the tattoo machine on a small trolley and wheels it to the pool table. Veronica is still struggling ineffectually under Liam's hold. Mark hands Liam the tool. "What's it gonna be Veronica? Hmm?" he holds it close to her face but before he can say anything else Faith calls his name
"Hey Liam" she downs her drink and walks towards the table she grins "Mind if I do it" he looks at her puzzled "Oh come on she's trying to disrespect your family I wanna help" he grins
"Alrighty then" she steps in between him and the table and takes the tool while Liam still holds Veronica's throat "So Veronica when I start hearing the truth my friend here will stop got it?"
"Yea the truth" Faith grins then brings her elbow backwards into Liam's face sending him backwards into the bar. She throws the tool on the ground and helps Veronica off the table "you good kid?" Veronica nods her head clearly shocked.
"Oh big mistake missy" Danny heads towards her
"Come on Danny boy show me what you got" he takes a swing at her but she easily stops it and twists his arm till he's on the ground then smashes his head into the pool table. Veronica runs out the door and Faith takes one last look before following her.
"Damn another bar I won't be allowed in again" Faith sighs as she walks away from the bar with Veronica trailing behind her.
"Hey wait a minute" Faith stops and turns towards her
"Yea?"
"What was that?"
"That my young friend was me saving your can" she pauses a moment "You don't by any chance know of any other bars in this town do ya" Faith pauses "Hey wait a minute what were you doing in there anyway?"
"Apparently getting myself on the wrong side of the Fitzpatrick's"
"No shit"
"Veronica!" they both turned to see Logan coming up to them "what happened?" Faith decides to excuse herself
"Well you two have fun and I would suggest maybe going elsewhere" Faith gets to her bike and stops "Damn it" she turns back around and heads towards the bar
"Where are you going?" Veronica asks confused
"I left my helmet inside" Faith walks inside the bar
"Who was that?"
"I don't know but she saved my skin" Veronica says clearly still scared "And pissed of the Fitzpatrick's at the same time"
"The fighting Fitzpatricks?"
"Yep"
"Wait are you ok?" before she can answers there's a yell from inside followed by Faith walking out helmet in hand and a split lip.
"Bastards got a shot in" she wipes the blood before heading for her bike and driving off. Veronica and Logan stare for a moment but then quickly head for the Xterra when they hear people coming out.
