The next morning, Veronica woke up and got down to breakfast where the Kane's were already eating.
"You came home late last night Veronica… You better not start trouble!" Celeste said harshly as Jake glared at his wife.
"I'm not the one in trouble right now…" She snapped, reminding them of the lawsuit that was coming their way for messing with their daughter's murder investigation.
Then she added: "I was with a friend of Weevil… he invited me to lunch today and I agreed." Veronica replied.
"I refuse to see a member of my family out with some scum like that!" Celeste raged as Jake silently told her to stop.
"This scum rented the presidential suite of the Neptune Grand." Veronica replied, loving the face of shock that was on the woman's face right now.
She grabbed a muffin and left the room, saying she was going out. She couldn't bare being in this house with them and they all knew it.
Duncan felt sorry for her but Jake felt that since Leanne left town, it was his opportunity to have the daughter he always wanted. He knew it was selfish of him but he refused to see how miserable Veronica was since she moved in with them. He convinced himself that she was still mourning for Keith and that once she got over it, she would be able to accept him without problems.
Veronica went to her room real quick to grab her purse and computer bag. She took the keys of the car Jake told her he could use and headed for her dead father's office. It was for sale but until it was bought, she could still use it and so she did… it was her safe place for the moment.
Checking her phone, she saw a message from Klaus asking her if she was okay coming for dinner instead of lunch. She quickly replied that it was fine by her. It gave her more time to check out the man she was going to meet up with.
Since she wanted to know more about Klaus before she met him for dinner, Veronica researched him on her computer. She used all her resources… The same resources Keith used and that helped her so many times before.
Nothing.
He did tell her his last name was Mickealson the previous night and Klaus Mickealson was the name on the credit card he had used… She called the Neptune Grand to check if he was in the hotel under the same name.
He was.
Nothing fit…
The only information she could find on a Klaus Mickealson was too old to be him… Then she found pictures… Pictures of a man that shared his face and his name but those pictures were very old… One was from an article from the 20's about some club in Chicago named Gloria's. She kept looking and she could see the same man with different hairdos in the late 40's in Canada, the 60's in New York, the 70's in Orlando…
Who was that man?
Shaking her head from all the crazy theories that were running in her head she went to see Wallace and have lunch with him.
That's it for the fourth part...
BELISLEFAN: Yes, Veronica is still a PI... It's on the down-low for the time being but it will pick up later... Right now she has other things to worry about!
What do you think?
REVIEW PLEASE?
