The wonderful shows Moonlight and Veronica Mars are owned by companies and people other than me. They are just places I go to play.

This is a Moonlight / Veronica Mars crossover. It follows Family, Possession, which followed Who Are You? Read them in order or you won't enjoy them near as much….

A/N: This is the second half of what was originally Family. This first one is a bit short as I lopped it off the end of the last chapter of Family.

It turns out that Mick is right. Things do settle down.

Josef and Sarah do finally leave the comfort of their bedroom, if not somewhat reluctantly. He continues teaching Sarah all the things she needs to know about being a vampire. Mick begins training Veronica to take care of the business during the day so he can sleep and spend more time with Beth and Shannon. Beth as usual is busy taking care of Shannon and loving Mick. Everyone is busy except Logan…

Logan looks around the apartment wondering how Mick talked him into staying inside for two weeks. Hell, there isn't even any Internet access in the apartment yet and daytime TV is bleak. Logan goes to the apartment next door and knocks. Ben smiles when he sees Logan. "Hey come on in. I was just headed for my freezer but I'll wait if you need something."

Logan shrugs. "I'm just board." Logan sees a book laying on the table and picks it up. "Hey, are you in the middle of this?"

Ben shakes his head. "No, just finished it. Take it if you want. I found a box of books over in the corner. Mick must have forgotten he left them here."

Logan walks over and digs through the box. "Mind if I take a few?"

"Go for it."

Logan digs around and finds several with scantily dressed women and men with guns on the front and takes them with him. He heads for the door. "Thanks. It's better than staring at the walls."

After a few days the cable guy shows up and hooks up the Internet connection. Logan moves to the computer but the books keep calling him back. There like a really bad B movie. Over the next week he makes a couple of more calls on Ben next door to dig through the box of books. The second time Ben laughs and hands him the box. "Here take it with you. You're getting more out of it then I ever would."

After ten days Logan has pretty much burned his way through the box of books. He stares at the last one. Well that was some of the worst writing imaginable. He snorts. Hell, I could have done better in my writing class in high school. He smiles remembering how Veronica had caught him ripping off dialogue from Easy Rider to win a contest in their English class. After that he took a writing class to actually see if he could do the work. To his surprise he really enjoyed the work.

He glances at his laptop on the table and shrugs. He doesn't have anything else to do. He sits down at the desk and begins to see if he can write anything that's at least better than what he just read. He begins to let the words flow and just types whatever comes to mind looking for ideas.

Josef looks at Sarah and kisses her deeply. He is sitting at his desk in his study and Sarah has just come into see if he's busy. She has other ideas than Josef spending the evening working. She sits down on his lap to make her point.

He grins at her. "You are bad for business. I can't get anything done. You are too distracting." Sarah smiles at the compliment and leans into kiss him.

Mick punches up Josef's number and listens to it ring. He's about to hang up when he hears Josef. "Hello? Mick?"

"Yea, Josef are you alright?"

He leans back in his chair and looks at Sarah smiling at him. "Yes I'm fine. Why do you ask?"

"I just haven't heard from you much. Wondered if everything was alright with Sarah."

Josef slides his hand up her shirt and cups her breast. "Yea, everything's good. I've just had my hands full."

Mick grins when he hears Sarah moan in the background. "I bet. Josef, it's the end of the month. We need to talk about Ben and Holden." Josef sighs and moves his hand back to the desk. He glances at Sarah who is looking at him somewhat impatiently.

"It's your call Mick. Do you still think you don't need the extra security?"

"Josef I've kept an eye out for the last couple of weeks. I've done some double checking around the area and I really do think it's time to send them back to you and let Logan go where ever he wants as long as he always keeps a phone with him."

Josef nods. "Alright. I'll make sure he has all the appropriate numbers. If he needs help he starts with you and Victoria. I've set up an extra retainer fee with Victoria to come immediately if he calls. The two of you are generally going to be closer to where he is than I will be. If he can't get either of you then he calls me. I also asked her if she had heard any rumbling in the community about Logan. She said it was pretty quiet once the shock wore off. She said she thinks everybody is actually kind of happy about the whole idea of vamps having kids."

Mick nods. "Josef that sounds good. He's going to be happy to hear things have calmed down and he can get out. You want to call him or should I just go next door?"

"I'll call him in couple minutes."

"Yea, and I'll go across the hall in a bit and tell Ben and Holden to pack up." Mick hangs up

Josef stands up in one smooth motion with Sarah in his arms.

"When it comes to Logan, I can't let you distract me. You need to give me a minute to call him."

Sarah nods and smiles at him seductively. She runs her fangs across Josef's neck and smiles when she sees his eyes flash at her with desire. "Family is the only excuse I'll take for making me wait for you."

Josef nods and can see it's going to be another night lost to his beautiful temptress.

He sets her down on the couch and pulls up Logan's number. "Logan, are you busy?"

Logan looks at the laptop in front of him and shrugs. Not so far. "No, Josef, why?"

"Nothing, I just thought you should know that Mick is pulling Ben and Holden and sending them back. As long as you have your cell phone and the extra numbers I gave you, you can take off. Mick and I have both been tracking what's been going on around you and it looks good. Take Veronica and go do something."

Logan snorts. Right. "Thanks Josef. I'll tell her whenever I see her." He says a little crankier than he intended.

Josef scowls at the dead line in his hand.

Sarah sees the serious look on Josef face. "What's the matter?"

Josef frowns. "Logan isn't happy. I can hear it in his voice."

Logan shuts the laptop and grabs the box of books he's been meaning to take back to Ben's room. He probably should do it before Ben leaves and the room is abandoned again. He thinks about Veronica and he admonishes himself for being selfish. She's pretty happy and how can he complain about that? At least she's close. At one point he didn't think she would even move to L.A. He knows that once she gets a handle on what Mick's teaching her about the office she'll have more time. He just needs to keep himself busy until then. He grabs his keys and decides to check out the neighborhood. He can stop in and see her on his way out.

Mick opens the door to go across the hall and finds Logan in the hall with a box of books in his hands. "Hey, did Josef talk to you about leaving the apartment?"

"Yea, just in time. I finished this box of books Ben found in the apartment next door." Logan has no desire to tell Mick that he's been attempting to do some writing of his own.

Mick looks down into the box and smiles. "That is some bad fiction. A guy I worked for a few years back gave them to me as payment. He swore he was going to be famous and they'd all be collector's items. I felt bad for the guy and let it go. He'd had a pretty long run of bad luck."

Logan smiles. "I read them all. It was sort of a cross between a cliché fest and light porn. Pretty funny after a while."

Mick nods. "I remember. So, what are you going to do now?"

Logan shrugs. "I thought I'd look around the neighborhood and branch out from there. I need to get to know the area. I might as well start close to home. From what little I saw when we first got here the neighborhood seems kind eclectic."

"It is. It's why I like living here. It's got a little of everything in this neighborhood. They don't even look at me twice."

Logan nods. "I'll see you later."

Mick watches as Logan ducks into his office door, to say hi to Veronica and tell her his good news on his way out.

Mick goes to tell Ben and Holden they can go back to Josef's.

Here we go again….
