Not mine...belongs to CBS...belongs to CW...and anyone else that's not me...just my idea of fun...not meant for anything but entertainment.

This is a continuation of my first Moonlight/Veronica Mars crossover (Who are You?). It would help if you read the first one. This takes place 3 months after that one. Be warned there is a short sex scene in this one.

This is a redo so most of you've probably already read it.

He gets out of his SUV and walks slowly towards the park. He hopes she doesn't have a gun. She could shoot him on accident or he admits on purpose. "Veronica? Hey, Logan sent me to get you. Veronica?"

Veronica sits in the dark and watches the figure. She knows that voice as well as she knows her own. It's Duncan and she's so pissed that if she hadn't left her gun for Logan she would shoot him where he stands. Maybe it's because he's lying and she knows it. Logan wouldn't send Duncan unless he was in really bad shape himself and if that were the case he or Josef would have told Duncan what to say to her so she would know it was safe.

Veronica had laughed at Mick when he explained the whole safe word thing. She teased him about using tactics that were originally figured out for five year olds. Mick nodded at her and said, that was fine but she and Logan still needed a word that only the five of them would know. Josef, Mick, Beth, Logan and herself all knew one word and Duncan hadn't said it so she stayed in the dark. Mick drilled her natural reluctance to trust anyone enough that in case of an emergency there were only four other people she trusted besides her father. Duncan was no longer one of those people.

She hadn't known how right she was when she warned Logan about Duncan just a month ago. Damn she wishes she had a gun. She could finish this whole mess up right here right now. Duncan must have had a part in planning the attack on Logan and Josef on the beach. It was the only way she could explain him showing up here and not knowing what to say. He must have traced her through her phone. She reaches down and turns it off and seals it back up.

She sees someone else get out of Duncan's SUV. She can't hear the words but he's pointing down to a small box. She realizes it's whatever they are tracing her phone signal on. The person is telling Duncan they've lost her signal.

Duncan walks down into the open park space. "Veronica? Come on. You know I won't hurt you. I know you're out there somewhere. If you come out no one else has to get hurt. Logan's not dead…... Damn it Veronica you belong to me, not Logan." He's still reluctant to follow her into the dark. He knows if he corners her and she has a gun he could very well end up with a bullet.

Hell, she thinks, at this point he wouldn't even have to corner her. If she had her gun he'd be dead. Bad enough he had someone shoot at Josef, he was damn near indestructible but cowardly S.O.B. had someone shooting at Logan. No excuse for that. If Josef didn't take care of this she will. Duncan didn't even have the guts to do his own dirty work. Then she thinks of Lily, both her long gone friend and Duncan's daughter. No, she probably wouldn't shoot him but she'd sure as hell make him think twice before he tried this again.

Nobody messes with her family and that realization gives her one hell of a jolt. For the first time since she can remember she's including other people as family besides her father. Logan, Josef, Mick and Beth….family….somehow she was going to have to join that half of her life with her father side of her life. She had no idea how but they all meant too much to her to be separate.

She hears Duncan swearing and the two men go back to the SUV and drive off. Veronica decides to play a hunch she's had for some time. She hasn't said anything to Josef but she's pretty sure that Weevil is working for him. She thinks back to the night at the Sac N Pac and the fact that when she called Weevil he had Mick and Josef with him. No one ever explained that to her satisfaction. She just doesn't know what else to do. She turns her phone on and quickly sends a text to Weevil and then shuts it down again.

HELP. L/J in trouble. Stranded at the surf park. Need ride. V.

She thinks back to the last time she heard from Duncan. About a month ago she had gotten a phone call out of the blue from Duncan. He had finally worked out a resolution with Meg's parents about Duncan's daughter Lily. Duncan had been gone two years. He told her he was back for her and he couldn't wait to see her. When he left she had loved him but things had changed considerably in those two years. When he called he'd asked to see her and she had made it plain that she would only see him if Logan was with her. She point blank told him she was in love with Logan and had been for some time. He was not happy to say the least. He couldn't believe that she was in love with Logan and wouldn't even have lunch with him without Logan hanging around. He said he would call Logan but somehow she doubted that would happen. They stopped being real friends a long time ago. When she saw Logan later in the day she had told him about the call and told him to please be careful she had a bad feeling about Duncan but then they never heard from him again…..until now.

Weevil looks down at his phone and hits the door running. He figures it's going to take about fifteen minutes or so to get to her. He passes the beach house on his way to the park. He sees Josef's Ferrari and Logan's jeep in the driveway and wants to stop but he knows that his priority right this minute has to be Veronica because at least he knows she's still alive. Weevil gets a few miles past the beach house and sees a bike coming from the opposite direction. As it passes he recognizes the bike as Mick's and they both come to a screeching halt that spins them around in the middle of the road. Quickly they exchange information about Veronica's text messages.

"One last thing" Mick tells Weevil. "When you get there, just say werewolf and she'll trust you and not take a shot at you. Not sure if she has a gun but don't approach her until you tell her that. Even though she called you it will still give her the assurance she needs."

Weevil laughs "Veronica must have picked the code word. I'm surprised she didn't pick vampire."

"She tried. I wouldn't let her. It was too obvious. Don't come back with her until I call you and tell you its all clear."

"I'll sit on her as long as I can but you know V."

Logan can see that Josef's body is healing but very slowly. He gets a pair of needle nose pliers out of the toolbox. They don't exactly keep surgical equipment around the house. He could use his pocketknife but somehow that seems worse.

"This is going to hurt but they have to come out."

Josef grits his teeth and nods and Logan spends the next several minutes digging the bullets and several fragments out of Josef's shoulder. "Shit. Are you trying to get even for something I don't know about?"

"Yea, for you beating me to that last wave. Seriously, I'm doing the best I can. I have people who use tools."

Josef shakes his head. "yea, yea, yea…just get the damn things out."

Just as Logan retrieves the last bullet, both he and Josef look up when they hear a motorcycle coming down the drive. It's been pretty quiet up till then. Logan takes the gun but just as he starts to move, he hears Josef say "Mick'. Logan lowers the gun and unlocks the front door. Josef is just finishing his first glass of AB negative when Mick comes through the front door with his gun showing him the way. It doesn't take Mick long to see that they have everything under control.

"Josef was shot on the beach tonight."

"I know. I got a text from Veronica saying Josef had been shot and she was on her way to the contact point."

"Well, I just got the bullets out and he's healing up now but not like he should be. Look guys, it's been fun but I need to go find Veronica." Now that Logan could think of something besides Josef his mind has switched to Veronica and he needs to make sure she's ok.

Logan turns just in time to face a furious Josef. Logan watches him. He's so pissed his fangs are starting to show. "Don't you ever do that again. Mick and I told you over and over if things like this happened you had one priority and that was to get yourself clear. What in the hell were you thinking risking your ass coming up to the house?"

Logan just stands there with this arms crossed and gives Josef his best smirk. Logan doesn't give a shit how mad Josef is; he is alive to yell at him and that is all that matters. "Yell all you want old man, you wouldn't have left me and I wasn't leaving you and that is that."

"You are such a stubborn pain in the ass some times." Josef says clearly not happy.

Logan just smiles "Me? I must get it from somewhere."

Mick turns so neither of them will see him grinning. It is nice to see Josef get a dose of his own medicine.

"And you" Josef yells at Mick. "I better not find Beth outside on that bike."

Mick looked at Josef like he was crazy. "Six months ago, you would have but not now. She promised to stay home because of the little one."

"You hope." Josef snaps.

Mick turns to the phone on the side table as it begins to ring. He's sure it's Beth. He picks it up and assures her everyone is safe. He hangs up and decides to change the subject. "I ran into Weevil on the way in. He was going to pick Veronica up. She'd called him for help."

Mick opens his phone and calls Weevil. "Is she ok? Good. You can bring her back now"

Weevil walks in the door with the phone in his hand. "Bring her back hell. We're here. I told you I would sit on her as long as I could."

Veronica comes flying at Logan. He swings her around so she doesn't knock them both down. He wraps his arms around her and holds her tight. "Oh baby. I was so scared for you…so scared…." It's all he hears between her kisses. Logan holds her out away from him and looks at her. "I'm ok. I'm fine. See not a mark on me." He smiles at her and she takes his face in her hands and kisses him pouring all her love and desire into it. He thinks to himself if she doesn't stop he isn't sure he can be responsible…and then the thought is interrupted by someone clearing their throat. Shit that's right they aren't alone.

"Get a room." Is all he hears, he's not even sure who said it.

Veronica looks over his shoulder at Josef. "That is absolutely the last time I ever leave you two like that. I'd rather get shot than wonder what the hell is going on."

"Dam it. Doesn't anyone do what they are told around here? You were supposed to go to the safe house. She knows about Weevil doesn't she?"

Veronica stops kissing Logan for a minute. "If the question is does she know Weevil works for you? The answer is yes."

Mick shrugs "She isn't stupid and we never did explain away that night she called Weevil and got all three of us. I told him what to tell her and told him to sit on her until I called."

"Yea, I see that worked well." Josef said dryly.

"Any idea as to where the attack came from or why?" Mick asks

"There's someone in the kitchen that I suspect is going to be happy to tell me what he knows."

Mick swings around towards the front door. He and Josef both have their guns out and ready. Mick peaks out through the blinds. "Shit. Sheriff's car is coming down the drive." Mick puts his gun away and Josef goes in the kitchen.

Mick turns to Veronica and Logan. "Neighbors must have finally called the shots in. Josef, Weevil and I will be in the kitchen playing cards." As Mick leaves the room he flips on the TV. "Logan, you and V are going to have to talk to Sheriff Mars or Deputy Leo. I can't tell who's in the car. We need to move our guest real quick."

Logan gets up when he hears the knock on the door. "Well, it's Deputy Leo. What brings you out this time of the night?" Logan says this with just the right amount of snark.

"Logan, we got a complaint that one of the neighbors heard shots. Now since I was in the area and the sheriff's daughter spends a lot of time out here he thought I better check it out."

Veronica gets up and stands behind Logan. "Hey Leo. Tell my dad that I'm fine. Logan and I are just sitting her watching TV."

Even Leo can see she's lying but he knows he's not likely to get the truth either.

"Anyone else around tonight Logan? I see a Ferrari and a couple bikes in the driveway. You got PCHers in there with you?"

"Just Weevil. The other bike is Mick's. They're in the kitchen playing cards."

By this time Leo is inside the door and Mick and Josef have come out of the kitchen, Weevil figures he'll just hang back. He doesn't need the deputy wanting to haul him in for something, imaginary or real.

"Mr. St. John is that your bike?"

Mick nods "Deputy, please call me Mick. Mr. St. John makes me feel like you're about to arrest me. You probably know the Ferrari is Josef's"

"You two know each other?" Leo asks

Josef shrugs "for a long time."

"That explains the reaction Mick here had the night I showed him Logan's picture." Leo says.

Mick shrugs. "Sorry about that but I sure as hell couldn't say what I was thinking until I found out the truth, now could I?"

"No, I suppose not. I heard they look pretty much alike but until now I didn't realize how much."

Josef smirks at the deputy. "Yes, well apparently good looks run in our family."

Leo shakes his head. "Same sense of humor I see. Good grief, two of them. Well, as long as I can tell the Sheriff that Veronica is okay. That's all that matters. Nobody heard any shots, is that right?"

They all shake their heads and Leo says goodnight and leaves.

Mick follows Josef back into the kitchen. Josef is on the last of the bottle of AB negative. He turns to Mick. "To answer your question, I have no idea, who would be stupid enough to do this."

Mick looks at Josef and knows that it is time to get Logan and Veronica out of there. If Josef has to persuade the hit man to talk it won't be fun to watch. "Logan, you and Veronica go get packed and grab your keys. It may be a few days before you guys get back home. It's time to get to a safer place."

"Uh, guys, would you listen to me for a minute? Veronica decides it's time to tell them what she knows." Veronica has decided that she is done letting these two tell her what to do.

Josef looks at her annoyed. "Just go do what Mick tells you."

Veronica narrows her eyes at Josef. Josef glances at Logan who is shaking his head slowly. "What?"

"I've let you two dictate long enough. You don't want to know what's going on, fine. This isn't about vampires and so as far as I can tell I don't need your expertise to take care of it. I don't give a shit if you are older than dirt. I'm going home." Veronica turns and heads to the bedroom to change her clothes and pack.

Logan shrugs. "I go where she goes."

Josef stands and Mick notices that he's wobbly. "You go where I tell you to go, both of you."

Veronica's eyes get wide. "Like hell."

Logan looks at Mick "I'm surrounded by control freaks."

Josef's fangs start to lengthen and Veronica laughs. "Don't think you can intimidate me with your big bad scary face. I'm not impressed."

Mick isn't so sure that Josef is just trying to scare her. He has a feeling Josef is on the edge. He decides he better step in. "Look go to your place and get cleaned up. We'll be along in a bit and we can discuss all this then. Right now you do need to get out of here."

Veronica gives them a curt nod and walks away.

Josef motions to Weevil. "I might need some help with this guy. Why don't you stick around for a bit?"

Weevil nods.

Veronica and Logan get their stuff packed in the Jeep. Logan peaks in the kitchen. "See ya. I put your stuff in the Ferrari." And he's gone.

Josef looks at Mick. "This does not work for me."

"Well stop pissing her off and listen to her then. Look you and Weevil take care of this guy. I have some things I want to take a look at while they are still fresh. Call me when you're ready to go to Logan's."

Mick gets on his bike and heads back up to the park where Weevil picked up Veronica. He gets off his bike and walks around. He can see the guy get out of the SUV but he doesn't have a clue as to whom he is. He can feel Veronica's anger. She knows him real well and she is mad. He wonders if this is what she was trying to tell them.

Logan pulls up to the house and they both sit in the driveway not saying anything. Finally Logan turns to Veronica. "You really have to push as hard as you can don't you?"

She nods. "I'm tired of being treated like I'm twelve. I let them run this because I thought there was a chance there was a vampire involved but there isn't so there is no reason for me…us to put up with Josef's B.S. He's a bigger pain in the ass than I am."

"Well, the two of you are getting to be a pain." He sees her scowl at him. "I'm sorry but getting shot at kind of takes it out of me. Taking bullets out of my father with a pair of needle nose pliers kind of takes it out of me. I don't need to listen to the two of you argue."

Veronica feels bad for forgetting all that he's been through when she was yelling at Josef. They had both been through a lot and Josef was afraid for them and she was still scared of losing Logan. Neither she nor Josef reacted very well. It didn't make for a good evening. "Come on. Let's get our stuff out of here, and go get cleaned up. I'm pretty sure we're safe for tonight."

They carry their bags in the house and set the alarms that Mick put in place 3 months ago when this all started.

Veronica hears the shower running and sees a trail of Logan's clothes going towards the bathroom. She smiles. Maybe she could make it up to him. Silently she strips off her clothes and enters the bathroom. She slides the door to the shower open. "Want some company?"

Logan can feel the water beating down on his head and it feels so good. It helps drum out the pain of the last several hours. The fear of losing Veronica still hangs around his heart. He hears her voice from the door and grabs her and pulls her into the shower. He has her pinned against the shower wall. They are kissing and their hearts are both pounding. It feels like it has been a million years since he's been able to hold her like this. He needs her, needs to reassure himself that they are both alive. She is hot and wet and naked and she feels so good. He is running his hands across her back and down to her backside. God she has the most beautiful body. He moves his mouth to her neck and down to her breasts. Her moaning is all the encouragement he needs. He is gently teasing her nipples with his tongue, first one than the other. She thrust herself against him and he lets out a moan deep from inside him. He runs one hand down between her legs and she throws her head back and spreads her legs. She's arching against his hand. She starts running her hands over him, one hand drops to grasp him. He lets out a growl and with one hand braced against the wall and one hand supporting her bottom she wraps her legs around his waist and he slowly enters her. She let out a gasp. He is so big and hard and she wants him so much. They move against each other finding a rhythm that starts out slow and builds until they are both gasping for breath. She keeps moaning his name as he feels her muscles contract around him. He pushes one last time to get as deep as he can to feel her and follows her over the edge. They both sink down to the bottom of the shower. Veronica lays her head against his chest and he hears her mumble something into his chest. Logan leaned back and looks down at her and smiles.

"What?" he asks.

"I said that was absolutely amazing."

He loves the look of satisfaction on her face. "Of course it was. It was you and me. That's always amazing."

She loves that playful smirk on his face. "Hate to say it but we better get moving or we are going to have the two of them pounding on the front door."

He laughs. "Suddenly I'm in a much better mood."

She grins at him. "Funny me too. Come on lets get going."

Veronica starts to move away from him and Logan takes her face in his hands and kisses her tenderly one last time.

"You keep that up and we are never going to get out of here." She says.

"So?"

She kisses him back and smiles. "You want to deal with Josef left standing on the doorstep while we stay in here and make love?"

He laughs, "It would be worth it."

"I'm sure it would lover boy but come on, I've had enough yelling for one night."

"OK, if we have to." he says with great exaggeration.
