Veronica finished up school that day and met Wallace at his car Logan, and Weevil were both talking to him.

"Hey V what happened to your hand?" Weevil asked as he picked up her hand to look at the bandage.

"Long story."

Logan looked behind Veronica to see Thumpper coming out from the school.Veronica turned and glared as he walked away.

Logan looked at Veronica as she turned her head back to the group. "Why do I get the feeling he did something today."

"He tried. Nothing happened."

"Your hand."

"It was cut by glass.It's fine. Can we go, I gotta shift in like fifteen minutes."

Wallace nodded. " I'll see you all later."

Weevil openned Veronica's door for her "Can I get you after work?"

Veronica nodded "I get off at 9. I'll see ya then."

Weevil shut the door and watched as they left. Logan laughed.

"Who'd have thought you'd have a heart and it's not made of ice."

Weevil pushed him a bit before getting on his bike and leading his group out.

Veronica couldn't believe the rush they had today, and her feet hurt just thinking about it. She gathered up her stuff and went to walk outside to wait for Weevil since she got off a few minutes early. Just as she reached outside she bumpped into a figure she really didn't want to bump into.

"Blondie, No bodyguards?"

"Thumpper if you don't leave me alone I'm gonna call the police."

"Go ahead they like you even less than I do."

"You think your smug don't you? The police are gonna find out you killed Felix and they will arrest you."

"Well the only witness to that crime is you, and as soon as I eliminate that one the police wont have anything."

He backed Veronica into a wall and pulled his knife out of his pocket.

"Say goodnite."

"I wouldn't do that!!"

Thumpper turned to see Weevil and a couple PCHers standing behind him.

"You wont be there to protect her all the time." Thumpper said.

Veronica walked over to Weevil and then pulled a tape recorder out of her bag. She pressed rewind and then play. Thumpper heard himself on the cassette.

"They say a taped confession is just as good as the real thing." Veronica said. "Also you threatening my life is great. Looks like I wont need the bodyguards here soon when your in jail. Just don't forget not to drop the soap."

Veronica got on Weevil's bike as he laughed at Thumpper, and handed her a helmet. They drove off and left Thumpper standing on the street looking like he saw a ghost.

When Weevil pulled into the apartment complex Veronica handed him the helmet as she got off.

"Hey V how did you tape him."

"I started carrying the recorder earlier today I thought a backup would be good incase I did run into him, and he talked to much."

"But how did you turn it on without him knowing?"

"When I bumpped into him I just slipped my hand into my bag and pressed the button. I left the rest up to him."

"You really are smarter than the average girl."

Veronica smiled. "Thats why I get paid the big bucks...on occasion."

Weevil tucked some hair behind her ear he then leaned down and gave her the sweetest kiss she had ever had. It wasn't rough or planned really but gave her the feelings she hoped for.

"Goodnite V."

"Nite. I'll see ya in the morning."

Weevil nodded and waited until she was inside before he left. veronica couldn't help but smile to ehrself as backup jumpped on her and started licking her. She started scratching his ear.

"Hey buddy."

She called her dad and talked then headed to take a shower and go to bed. It was the first time she'd been able to sleep since everything happened, and no nightmares came.
