A/N: So, I was so excited about reviews! I couldn't wait to write some more for you guys. I was going to make this a "boring" chapter and have it deal mainly with the reason they're in NYC... it still does, but it's got some twists! I still haven't decided which ship to use yet... but you're definitely gonna have some LoVe mixed in somewhere, don't worry. I'm not that mean, I promise!
So, keep reviewing! And you'll get more chapters! I promise:-)
"So, what's the case entail officer?"
Before Leo could reply, Seth's voice came sharply from his place at the windowsill.
"You have got to be kidding me, Mars! The two of you stand there looking at the other, and the best thing you can come up with is about the case?"
"This isn't a high school reunion, Seth!"
For the next few minutes, the three attempted to occupy themselves through the awkward silence. Seth pretended to be transfixed with a falling snowflake, Veronica was leaned against the interrogation table picking at her nails, and Leo was leaning back in the chair next to her, watching the petite blonde with an amused look.
"You know, that's a terrible habit."
"Leo…"
"Alright! I give up. Brace yourself though, you may find this particular case very interesting."
"You've got my complete attention."
"There's a guy floating around New York City with his daughter. The problem is, he's been in hiding for a few years, and some pretty powerful people are looking for him. We don't know his alias, but we've got all of his personal information, right down to videos from his homecoming dance back in sophomore year of high school."
"So what, he's some runaway kid who upset his parents or something? Ok, that's great and I could understand this I guess… but why would this interest me again?"
"Veronica, the guy's Duncan Kane."
After reviewing the case, and setting up more meeting points, Veronica and Seth headed back towards Times Square.
Dear AbbeyWhat do you do when your work and your old life collide?
"Hey Seth, I'll take you up on that showing of Avenue Q now."
"Wait a minute Mars."
Veronica ignored him and kept walking.
"Hey! I said wait a minute!"
She turned and glared. "What?"
"When he says 'Kane', did he mean like the Kane Software Kanes?"
"Yes Seth, that's what he meant. And, your point?"
"This Leo guy thought that this would interest you… why?"
She sighed. "Duncan Kane is my ex, and his sister was my best friend before she was murdered. I've got to go… think about some things. I'll meet you tomorrow."
With that, Veronica walked away from him.
Duncan, what are you doing in New York? Our plan was flawless. You could raise Lilly in peace, away from Celeste and from Meg's parents. Why the hell are you risking that? What is going on in your head?
"Ronnie! Veron---"
"Seth! What have I told you about that name…"
As she turned around to scream more, she found herself face to face with a smirk she knew all too well.
"Logan."
A/N: So... did ya like it, no? Let me know! Does it have enough juicy drama potential? Or does it need more? Don't be afraid to let me have it!
