Undercover Nemesis's

Emilie Brown

Prologue

It was a typical day in Neptune. Sex, murder and drugs, oh the wonderfulness of all of it. Veronica Mars started her week like normally every week. She left her apartment like she normally does and headed to the Sheriff Department to visit her father. Her father was the new Sheriff since Lamb was murdered two years ago. Veronica would be the first person to admit that she couldn't stand Lamb and on more than one occasion wished he'd die, hell she even wrote her Perfect Murder paper on him. She'd also be the first person to admit that she misses him and wishes he never died that terrible night two years ago. To be honest she loved the banters they had, sure she was in his cuffs and in his jail cell on more than one occasion because of the problems she's caused him, heck she had a feeling he just liked making up crimes that she's done just so he could keep her away from his cases, She's safer in jail apparently.

The day that her father told her he died was also the day she cried herself to sleep for the first time in such a long time. She truly missed that snarky jack ass of a Sheriff. Her father is Sheriff now and the Mayor unfortunately is Vinnie Van Lowe, so the town to say the least has been different in the past two years. Veronica went to work for the FBI. She worked for them for about six months but she couldn't handle it because each time she was on a case her thoughts would go to straight to the blue-eyed devil himself. In her mind Lamb would always say something snarky and tell her to let the authorities do it. She hated being haunted by his eyes and his voice. She truly missed him.

Sitting in her Saturn Veronica broke down in tears; no one knew how Lambs death affected her, no one but Mac that is. Mac tried to comfort her; she was there for her when no one else was. Wallace would have been there if he's known but he was off at his own college doing what he was born to do. So Mac was there for Veronica. Veronica and Mac moved in together after she left the FBI. Mac never questioned her friends motives because she had a feeling she knew why she did it. Veronica started back work at Mars Investigation when she came home. She knew there was a chance that her thoughts would revolve around Lambs more often than not, but she had to do it. She felt safe and comforted there. Since her father was Sheriff he no longer ran it. Veronica's ex Piz ran Mars investigations, and he ran it well. He was very much happy to allow Veronica to work there; he was getting a little overwhelmed with all the cases.

Veronica jumped when she heard a knock on her window, turning to face the window she saw Mac there.

"Come on Veronica, we don't have all day. We need to get to the station." Wiping her face of her tears Veronica nodded her head and waited for Mac to get in the vehicle, once Mac was in and buckled, Veronica drove the five minute drive to the Sheriff Department. Once they were there they exited the vehicle and went into to the building. Veronica went straight in to see her father. Mac went to her desk. Keith Mars knowing how great Mac is at computers hired her as a Technical Support. She is really great at her job and has helped in the aiding of catching a slew of criminals.

Entering her father's office Keith looked up, he smiled at his one and only child, well blood child, since Wallace and Darrell are his step son's.

"You wanted me dad?" Veronica asked standing in front of his desk.

"Yes I do." Keith stood up and closed his office door. "We need you to go undercover at the E-Nak High School. A man of the law has been undercover there for eight months now. He's not getting where he wants fast enough, so he's requested your assistance. Now I need to know if you're in on it. Mac will be going and she'll be going in five months' time. The three of you will be cousins but you and Mac will be sisters. So what do you say, you up for a little undercover action?"

Veronica sat down in the chair in front of her dad's desk. "I haven't done something like that since I left the FBI. Why me?"

"Mac suggested you go and our undercover man already working the case wants you, he thinks you're best for the job because of your slyness and how great you are with your acting and getting people to believe you. Please Veronica; you'll be doing me and the department a huge favor." Looking at her father pleading for her to take the case Veronica couldn't stop the answer that came from her mouth.

"Yes. I'll take it. Now who's the man?" Veronica questioned. Her father went to leave the room, motioning for Veronica to stay where she was. Leaning back against the chair she was in Veronica closed her eyes and brought her feet up to rest upon the desk top. She was just resting waiting for her father to0 come back when what she heard next had her eyes flying open and her shooting up real fast and facing the undercover man.

"Feet off my desk, Mars," Don Lamb himself said, the very man that was supposed to be dead, killed by a baseball bat to the head by none other than Steve Bitondo.

"Impossible, it can't be. You're dead." Veronica said as she ran her eyes up and down the very much alive Don Lamb.

"Did you learn nothing in your life? Here I am standing right in front of you and you say I'm dead. Wow Mars, just wow. Maybe you should go see someone for those eyes of yours, preferably the Wizard." Walking towards him and ignoring his comment Veronica brought her hands up and touched his chest, giving it a small shove. She brought her eyes up to his and locked them on him.

"How?" Was the only thing that next came from her mouth.

"I had to fake my death, unknowingly. I was in a coma for the first seven months of my hospitalization. As acting Sheriff your father thought it best that everyone think I was dead. So that's what happened there. When I came to I had to work getting back into shape. Once I was in shape the election had ran and named your father as Sheriff. But unknowingly to the folk of Neptune I'm still the Sheriff, your father did some stuff, magic whatever your small brain will call it. But then Jake Kane came in and being as your dad is the 'Sheriff" he had to go to him. The School he owns E-Nak is losing a lot of money and recently there's been a couple of deaths on campus as well. He needed help finding out what was going on. That was right around the time that I was able to go back to work. I took the case. But it appears there's more going on than Jake Kane knows. I needed help so I had no choice but to call you. You're young enough to pass by as a student and you know enough to get people telling you things they wouldn't normally tell anyone. Plus Mac also suggested you to me." Lamb said catching Veronica up.

"What!? Mac, Mac knows you're alive?" Veronica questioned.

"Veronica, everyone who works at the department and others like the Mayor and his band of misfits know of Lambs status," Keith Mars said speaking up for the first time. Closing her eyes in concentration Veronica tried not to do anything to cause a scene; sure she was upset with Mac, but mainly because she'd been crying herself to sleep for nearly two years over the supposed dead man that stood in front of her with that same arrogant smirk on his face and his hand on his belt.

"Okay, whatever, not like I care who all knew about Little Bo Peep's very much alive status. So what is the plan?" Veronica questioned, following her dad and Lamb as they walked out of the office.

"Mac will fill you in on everything. Right now Don and I need to catch the Mayor up." Keith said as he and Lamb left to head to a different part of the building. Sighing to herself Veronica walked to where she knew Mac's desk was. She had the sudden notion that working this case with Lamb would change her life entirely.
