Ok, first, I haven't saw the third season so, lets based this story upon the second season (So, yes, Logan and Veronica are still together). Please, read and review.

Three in the morning, the phone rand throughout all the house. Who could it be at this time of the night? Slowly, Veronica sit up on her bed and grabbed the phone next to her. She answered, half asleep. Next to her, Logan tuned to his side and put the pillow on his head to cover up the noise.

"Hello?"

"Sheriff Mars! You have to come, it's an emergency!" a very freaked out officer answered her.

"D'you know what time it is, officer Breslin?" she heard little footstep in her back. All this noise had woken up her 8 years old daughter. She covered the phone with her hand and tuned to the little girl. "I'm sorry if I've waken you up, honey. Why don't you crawl up and sleep with your father, okay, I've got things to do."

The little girl nodded and crawled silently into her parents's bed. Logan, who had give up on going back to sleep, cuddled her. Veronica returned to her call. At the time, two years ago, when she was named sheriff, she thought it was nice. She was, and still is, the youngest person to be name sheriff at Neptune, she was 26 at the time. She soon realized it wasn't the dream job, specially with a young kid and when your boyfriend is often out of the city to shoot movies... Eventhough he didn't want to follow his father's path, Logan started to make movies when the young woman found herself pregnant. The inheritance from his mother and his father could've helped few years but not more and it was the only way they could think of.

"So, what it so important that you have to wake me at three in the morning, Breslin?" She took her phone and left the room, leaving a chance to the two others to get back to sleep.

"We've got a murder case, at the 3454 St-Paul street. The victim is Heather Taylor, 38. She was shot at least four times in the chest." Veronica let out a little gasp.

"Oh my god..."

"What?" She was shaking a little.

"Heather Taylor, I knew her. Her son's in the same class than Lilly." She remembered Heather, she was the only parent of all the ones who's kids were in Lilly's class that hadn't give her a dirty look or pass commentaries about her young age. She remembered her kind, smiling face, surrounded by her long dark hair. Then, she thought about the little boy she left alone behind her, Noah. He was one of Lilly's main friend. The voice of her officer brang her back on earth.

"Sheriff? Are you there?"

"Huh.. yes. I.. I want you to try to look for the gun or wathever else could help us. I'm comming as soon as possible"

"Good." She closed her cellphone and stay on place few seconds, still stunned by the news. Another death, another friend of her, dissapeard off the surface of the earth. After her time of reflextion, she went back to her bedroom, to change clothes. She quietly opened her drawer and took the first clothes she saw. She quickly removed her nightgown and put her clothes on. When she was about to leave the room, Logan called her.

"Where are you going like that, in the middle of the night?" He sat up on the bed and looked at her, not totally awaken. She move closer to him and murmured.

"Emergency case... murder... I'll try to be home before Lilly leaves for school but it might take a while." She bent and kissed him quickly and left the house.à

I know, short, but it's only the introduction of my story. if you liked it, review, please.
