A/N It is my first Veronica Mars fanfic, so I hope it's not to bad. Read and then Review. ) The bold parts in italics are Veronica's thoughts.

Chapter 1: All roads lead to the… computer room?

Veronica mars the head strong youth who solved cases like it was as simple as 1, 2, 3, now sat in the computer room stumped, scared and more determined than ever. The computer screen flashed a message in front of her and she quickly scurried to save it, find the source, write it down do what ever she could well she could. As shocked as she was she knew not doing anything would not help and she would kick herself later for it. She played with her hair, while she attempted to do anything she could with it just to gather some sort of a clue from it. It wasn't working though, any attempt she tried at saving the message she would get re-directed to a page that flashed the words "not gonna work you dumb blonde". Frustrated she threw the pen she was holding and reached for her phone to contact the one person she knew could help, Mac. To Veronica's horror her battery was dying.

Great Veronica, on the one day you decided not to charge your cell phone you need it more than ever. Stupid Veronica.

Logan Echolls the crowned jack ass of the school. Logan who was once friends with Veronica and, let's not forget went out with her for one great summer, did all he could to avoid her. Right now it was after school and he was headed to the computer room to do a "school project" really he was just there to email people letting them know of his kick ass party he was having this Friday night. Whistling away he walked into the computer room, glancing around he noticed no one was in there except for, Veronica mars.

'Great.' he said to himself. He slammed the computer room door shut and looked in veronica's direction. She had finally realized he was in the room. She looked up, then looked him in the eye and then her eye's flashed back to the computer, she quickly clicked a few buttons and the screen went blank.

Logan being the smart jack ass he is, realized that she had put her computer on stand by and wondered what she could be hiding. He glanced at the expression on her face and immediately took in the fact that she had her frustrated and freaked at the same time look on. He took a seat opposite her and put his hand on the back of his head before he looked straight at her.

'I'm flattered.' Logan said sarcastically finally breaking the silence. Veronica looked up at him from her note book.

'Really! Good for you, two stars for Logan, he learnt a new emotion today. You should be so proud.' She quirked back, while trying with all her might to hide the tremble in her voice.

'Ha ha veronica, aren't you going to ask why?' Veronica looked up at him again and sighed.

'Is that a trick question?' she asked putting on a very dumb girlish voice.

'Now there's the smart Veronica I know and love.' Shit! Logan kicked himself mentally why did he have to mention the word love with her. Veronica gave in she couldn't be sarcastic with him right now.

'Fine Logan, why are you flattered?' He smiled and raised his eyebrows.

'I knew you would cave. I am flattered because you felt like you had to hide what ever you were doing on the computer from me. I am so glad you trust me I mean it just sends butterflies running through my stomach.' Logan leaned forward now and tapped the desk waiting for a reply from Veronica.

She looked at the computer and something dawned on her. Logan had a phone.

'Logan, it has to do with a case that I'm working on and –'

'Aaah, what is it this time a robbery? Oh wait I swear Veronica what ever the crime is now, I had nothing to do with it.' He interrupted Veronica, making sure to add emphasis on the he had nothing to do with it part! The words stung Veronica she had accused him of numerous things before that he had not done.

'Some how I believe you wouldn't be involved in this particular crime. I do how ever need to use your phone or this case will be the death of me.' Veronica said. Holding out her hand for the phone, Logan knowing Veronica wasn't one to ask for things from him unless she needed them gave the phone over.

'Thanks.' She said dialing Mac's number quickly.

'Wish I could say it was a pleasure.' Logan quirked back Veronica rose from her chair shook her head at him and walked towards the corner of the room.

A few minutes later and lots of frustrating sighs from veronica and amused looks from Logan. Veronica was finally sitting at the computer with a saved copy of the messages which of course was acquired with a 100 percent help from Mac.

She leaned back in her chair and gave the phone back to Logan. Logan leaned forward and tried to turn the computer so he could see what veronica was working on, before he could though she smacked his hand away.

'I'm sorry Logan you don't get to see what I'm working on this time. It's better if you don't know. Trust me.'

'Well I never, Veronica Mars actually cares about what is better for me!'

This time Veronica didn't reply she just tensed up and stared at the computer screen another message had popped up. Logan stared at her and knew something was wrong.

'Veronica?' he asked becoming dead serious.

Suddenly she seem to come too, she grabbed all her items and shoved them into her bag.

'Veronica?' Logan repeated with a bit more force in his voice this time. She looked up at him and then turned and left from the room. It took Logan a split second to realize that Veronica had not shut down the computer or closed any programs she was working in. He swung over to the computer and gazed at the screen in front of him. His eyes got wider with every message he read that flashed on the screen. Logan quickly switched the computer off, and left to go after Veronica.
