A/N: Thanks for all the reviews, follows and favorites! hope you like the next chapter.
Logan's phone starts ringing. He pulls his car over and looks at the caller Id, smirking, he answers his phone.
"Hello Mars-" He stops talking when he hears screaming on the other line.
"HELP! THE BUS IS CRASHING! HELP!" Comes the panicked voice of Veronica.
"VERONICA! VERONCIA!" He yells into his phone. Suddenly the line goes dead. Logan was in his car on his way home from school. He quickly did a 'U' turn and headed in the direction of the Pacific Coast Highway, knowing that Veronica was on her way back from the Shark's Stadium journalism excursion.
Oh God! What happened? Veronica? Dick? Duncan? Were they all on the bus? Are they dead? Oh God no! No! Logan thinks, driving just over the speed limit in his big yellow car.
The scene he arrives upon is nothing to what he expected. Dick, Duncan, Cassidy and some other 09ers were standing at the edge of the cliffs, watching something happening below with a look of horror and shock. Deputies from the Sheriff's Station were keeping them from getting too close to the edge, and others were interviewing people. Logan gets out of his car and walks over to Dick. He looks down and sees the yellow school bus all smashed up in the ocean below. A couple ambulance vans and a few Deputies' cars were down on the shore, with rescuers in the water attempting to help the people trapped inside the bus.
"Logan." Dick says slapping a hand on Logan's back, sadness clear in his normally cheerful and carefree voice.
"Was she on the bus?" Logan asked with no emotion, knowing the answer before Dick opened his mouth, and no noise come out. "Dick. Was she on the bus?" He asks again this time with desperation in his voice, praying that she wasn't actually on the bus and she was safe and fine and he was just panicking over nothing.
"Yeah buddy, she was." Dick says sadly. Logan looks away from his friend and stares out to sea. Wiping away a stray tear, Logan looks back at Dick who puts a hand on his shoulder.
"She's gonna be fine man. She's Veronica Mars, a badass blond who doesn't take shit from anyone." Dick says reassuringly, trying to make Logan smile. Logan just looks at him, raw emotion in his eyes.
"You really think so?"
"Hell yeah man!" Dick smiles weakly. The look in Logan's eyes making him want to do everything he can to help his friend.
An hour later a nearby Deputy gets a buzz from someone down on the shore. "Seven dead, and two survivors. The survivors are currently being taken to Neptune Memorial Hospital." The man on the other end of the radio says.
Logan grabs the Deputy by the front of his shirt.
"Who survived?" He asks desperately, sadness and unshed tears in his deep brown eyes. The Deputy takes pity on him and asks the man on the other line of the radio.
"We have identified both survivors via their wallets. Two Caucasian females, Ronda and Veronica Mars."
Logan thanks the Deputy and runs over to his car, closely followed by Dick. Pulling out his phone, Logan calls the number of Mars Investigation knowing that Mr. Mars would probably be there at this time of day. He would want to know what happened as soon as possible.
"Mars Investigation, Keith Mars speaking. How may I help you?" Comes the voice from the other line.
"Mr. Mars, it's Logan Echolls"
"Logan?" Keith asks, confused as to why Logan would be calling him.
"Yeah. Veronica's been in a bus crash. I know that the Sheriffs Department was going to call you, but I thought that the sooner you knew the better. She's on her way to Neptune Memorial Hospital."
"What happened? Is she all right?" Keith says panicking.
"I don't know, but it didn't sound good."
"Thank you for calling me Logan, I really appreciate it."
"No problem, really. I hope she's alright."
"Thanks. Bye."
"Bye Mr. Mars."
Logan starts his car and heads to the Hospital, with Dick riding shotgun.
