Veronica Mars:

Young, P.I. and In Love

Part 3

Veronica's question surprised everyone and made Kol wonder what she had on her mind.

"Only the supernatural beings he's supposed to hunt, why?" Bonnie replied.

"Well, I'm still human. Maybe I can do it. Kill him, I mean." She suggested.

"Listen V, I know you're strong but are you sure that you're ready to kill someone?" Klaus asked her.

"I got an A+ at my perfect murder paper didn't I?" she asked him before she added "I'm smart enough to get away with murder."

"I'm not doubting you love. I know you can do it. I just want to make sure you understand the toll it could take on you... Planning a murder and actually killing someone is different." Kol insisted.

"Don't worry, I can do it. I just have to concentrate on the fact that he deserves it." Veronica assured him.

"We'll help you prepare." Lilly nodded, knowing that there was no point in trying to argue with her.

.

Lilly and Kol were both worried about the consequences the hunter's murder would have on veronica but there was no changing her mind and they knew that she was pretty strong, strong enough to handle it, with their help.

All in all, veronica's plan wasn't that bad. Since even the sheriff was willing to help them cover it up, it didn't need to look like an accident. Veronica simply got strong drugs from the hospital and planned on injecting them to the hunter until his heart stopped. He would be dead and their problems would be solved.

Getting close enough to the hunter to inject him had been harder but Jeremy agreed to help and planned a meeting with the man, pretending he was interested in awaking his mark. Veronica joined them and while Jeremy distracted Connor, she injected him with the first needle, putting him on his knees almost immediately. She didn't stop and injected him with the next two needles without pausing and once it was confirmed that he was dead, that he had no pulse and no heartbeat, she called Liz Forbes so she could cover it up properly.

.

They all thought that Connor's death would be the end of their troubles, that nothing bad would happen after that, that this was the beginning of a peaceful time but they were wrong.

Not 2 days after the hunter died, Pastor Young, along with 11 other council members, most of them secondary members, died. They had been having some sort of unofficial reunion in his farm house when the cabin blew up. 12 people died and nobody knew why because if it became obvious that it had been a set up, that the gas had been leaking purposefully, nobody knew who did it or why. Nobody in the council had a valid motive to do it.

No suicide letters left behind, only phone calls between Pastor Young and professor Shane, the man who had been trying to tutor Bonnie after taking her grandmother's job.

"Bonnie thinks it's definitely suspicious. She doesn't trust Shane either. She says that he seems to know a lot about Silas and he's trying to push her into dark magic." Veronica told them a few days later, when she and Lilly came back from their day out with Bonnie.

"Yeah well, he did place over 10 calls to pastor Young the day he died and in this town, anyone creepy is guilty until proven innocent." Kol nodded.

"I've decided to look into him a bit more, you know, put my skills to good use..." Veronica started.

"Good idea. But if you're alone, please be careful." Kol asked her, nervous at the possibility of losing her.

"You know I won't stop you from coming with me." She smiled and he nodded, feeling better already, knowing that he would be able to keep her safe.

It didn't take long for Veronica to learn everything she needed to know about Shane and to be sure that he had something to do with the explosion. beside his numerous calls to pastor Young the few days before he died, he had another correspondent that he called often. A young woman called Hayley.

This information turning Hayley into someone suspicious immediately, veronica diverted her investigation to the young woman, knowing that the sheriff had enough to arrest Shane for his involvement in the explosion.

"I followed this Hayley around and as it turns out, she's staying with Tyler Lockwood. It didn't take me long to scare him into telling me what was going on. Apparently, she's trying to pushy him and a few other hybrids into breaking their sire bonds and going after Klaus. She says that she needs 12 of them to attack Klaus." Veronica explained one night when she came back to the house.

"Was he planning on doing it?" Lilly asked her, worried for Klaus.

"He told me that he wasn't, that Klaus wasn't abusing his sire bond or anything so he didn't want to do it but a few of the others seemed to be weaker than him and willing to be influenced by her. She's definitely turning to be a problem." Veronica replied.

"What is her role in all this? I mean, Shane confessed to having done this because Silas promised to bring back his wife and child if he did, but what about her?" Klaus asked.

"Well, Shane had information about some werewolves in one of the files I saw in his office, maybe it has to do with her. I found out that she was adopted... maybe he was supposed to give her information about her real family or something..." Veronica guessed.

"Is it me or solving problems and mysteries has become much easier since Veronica entered our lives?" Klaus asked with a smile, making his future sister blush.

.

Liz managed to send Professor Shane in jail for not only his involvement in blowing up the council but she also managed to frame him for the hunter's death. Not able to handle his failure, he killed himself.

Veronica and Klaus cornered Hayley and with her promise to leave town and not try to mess with their business ever again, they gave her the information they had about her family. She was about to leave when Klaus noticed her birthmark on her shoulder and so he gave her more information about who she was, telling her she was considered royalty in New Orleans' werewolf clan and where she could find more answers.

Thankful, Hayley left them,promising never to mess with the Mickealson ever again.

Well, here it is.

Review please?
