"Keith?" A familiar cold voice called out in the Mars Investigations office as Celeste Kane walked in

"Mrs. Kane, What can I do for you?" Keith was puzzled. What on earth would Celeste be doing in his office?

"What I'm about to ask you for is highly important. You must not tell anyone that you are working for me, especially Veronica. You cannot call me at my home, I will contact you. And you must do exactly what I tell you. If its done right I will pay you twenty thousand dollars. Do you accept these terms?"

"What is it you want me to do?"

"I want you to prove to my husband that Lilly is nothing but trouble for my family so he will allow me to send her away to boarding school. You know as well as I do Keith that the girl is out of control. Surely she isn't the kind of friend you want for your own daughter." Celeste said very business like. If Keith didn't know better he never would have guessed that this bitter woman was Lilly's mother.

"Mrs. Kane... I don't know if I can do that, let me think it over and get back to you. Call me in three days."

"Very well" She said looking disappointed as she turned and walked out of the office.

Keith sat in his office pondering if this was a job he could do. Could he really get his daughter's best friend sent off to boarding school, probably across the country? Maybe it was what was best for Lilly, but what about Veronica? She is having a hard enough time at school already, what would it be like if she lost her best friend?

Veronica sat eavesdropping in the hallway of Mars Investigations unable to believe what she was hearing. Celeste was asking her father if he would help her get Lilly sent away to boarding school. Tears began to fall down her face as she grabbed her cell phone. She had to warn Lilly right away. But of course she got Lilly's voicemail for what seemed like the hundredth time this week.

"Lilly, its Veronica, you need to call me as soon as you get this." She sighed and hung up the phone. Lilly doesn't even want to talk to me anymore. Maybe I should let her go. Veronica was thinking when she heard foot steps coming towards the door.

She quickly scooped up her phone and book bag and ran inside the stairwell.

"How could this be happening?" Veronica said through her tears.

After Veronica was sure Celeste had exited the building she stormed inside her father's office.

"Dad, I heard Celeste, you can't do this!" Veronica yelled trying not to cry again.

"Veronica, I didn't agree to it yet and I probably wont. Don't worry."

Logan watched the Kane estate from his car trying to catch a glimpse of Lilly with another guy. Maybe he was being overly jealous and paranoid. But he had the feeling his girlfriend was seeing someone new. Sometimes his feelings were right and sometimes they were wrong. But when it came to Lilly cheating he was always right. He often questions why he lets her treat him this way, and why he even loves her. Lilly was just one of those few girls that were so special she could get away with anything. It was impossible not to love her, and forgive each one of her errors, even if they are repeated on a daily basis.

"Ain't love a bitch." Logan said and drove away.
