You Can Touch The Remote Now

Veronica woke up to the smell of gasoline, and liquor. She opened her eyes and found herself in a dark room with three cots in it. One to which she was laying on, and the other two were against the opposite wall of her. Veronica tried to roll off the bed but was stopped by a tug at her wrist. She looked down to see her right hand handcuffed to the frame of the bed. Veronica sighed and looked around more at the room. Both of the beds were empty.

Suddenly the door opened and light spread over the room. Veronica winced at the light. She heard a scuffle and then someone was thrown into the room. Veronica moved backward to the wall. The man started coughing. Veronica tried to get a better look at the stranger and then she realized he was no stranger.

"Dad?" Veronica offered the man not knowing it was him. The figure looked over in her direction.

"Veronica?" The figure moved closer. When he came closer to her she saw his face. There were scars and black and blue marks. Veronica put her left hand to her mouth. She started to cry at the sight of him.

"Dad, it's me." Veronica told him as she tried to maneuver herself to get to him. Keith crawled over to her, which was difficult since he was handcuffed. Veronica threw her arm over him, and they fell over crying hysterically. Veronica tried to put him closer to protect him.

"Veronica what are you doing here?" He asked her while she pulled him to sit up against the bed.

"That guy, umm Charlie Marsh." Veronica hoped that answered his question. Veronica looked over at her father, his eyes were shut and he was breathing heavily.

"Dad, what did they do to you?" Veronica asked as she maneuvered her cuffed hand into a more conformable position. Her father didn't answer her, Veronica looked over at him.

"Dad?"

"Veronica, how did they get to you?" He asked looked up at her.

"Well they forged a bunch of papers and faked it as Feds, and took me away write there in front everyone, they aren't afraid of taking risks, Lamb was right there when it happened." Veronica told him.

"Lamb was right there?" Keith sounded surprised.

"Dad, I don't think now is the time..." Veronica was cut off.

"No I mean that's a good thing." Keith told her.

"I don't see how." Veronica didn't know what to say.

"He's not that slow to see that those papers are fakes." Keith coughed loudly some more, and Veronica looked at him worriedly.

"He'll figure it out, I know he will." Veronica told him quietly but he was already fast asleep on her shoulder.

Veronica jumped awake from a nightmare. She looked around the room. Her father was stilled at her side, and they were both still handcuffed.

The door cracked open and Keith awoke at the light. They both listened to the two voices arguing outside the door. The door opened all of the way and a man stepped in, he looked over at the two, and walked over.

Veronica saw him and stood up and tried to help her father up but hade no luck.

Veronica backed up as the stranger came over to her, She fell over and on to the cot. He reached over to her, and then he went crashing to the floor. Veronica looked over at Keith who had apparently tripped him, to protect Veronica.

"You bastard." the man said as he hit Keith across the face. Veronica screamed.

"STOP IT, DON'T HURT HIM" Veronica screamed. She tried to grab the man away from her father.

The man paid no attention to her and kicked her father twice Veronica sat on the bed crying softly, looking over at her father. The man turned over toward her and reached for her arm, Veronica tried to move out of his reach but didn't get very far. He grabbed her handcuffed hand and took out a key, and quickly unlocked her hand cuffs. Veronica tried again to get away but he was too quick, he took her arm and bent it back, Veronica screamed in pain. He put her in cuffs behind her back and pulled her out of the room.

Once they were in the hallway Veronica claimed down. She tried to figure out where she was, but there was no hint. Veronica tried to move her arm but every time she did a spark of pain shot up her arm.

Veronica was pulled into a room. There were two chairs and a table in the middle, on the table was a large book. On one of the walls there was a two way mirror. Veronica was shoved into the chair. She had her head down as the man walked out and another walked in.

"Hello, Veronica." The voice behind her said.

Veronica looked up "Charlie Marsh." He came out from around her and looked at her.

"You seem to be getting in my way a lot." Marsh sat down in the seat across from her and crossed his arms.

"You should pay better attention to where you're going." Veronica said looking him straight in the eye. He smiled at her

"Soon I won't have to." He said.

"You don't scare me ya know" she told him

"You sure?" Marsh looked up at the door and nodded.

The two way glass lit up. Veronica slowly moved her head over. She looked over into the other room; in the middle of the room was her dad. He was facing her direction on his hands and knees with another man standing over him with a gun loosely in his hand.

"What are you doing?" Veronica yelled. She tried to get up out of her chair but couldn't.

"DAD, DAD IT'S ME, VERONICA, DAD." Veronica yelled at the top of her lungs. Charlie laughed at Veronica.

"You son of a bitch." Veronica, still looking at her father who seemed to be talking to the man.

"Veronica I would be careful as to what you say." Marsh told her. Veronica paid no attention to him, she just watched the mirror. Her father seemed to be talking to the man still. Out of nowhere the man kicked Keith, and he fell over, The man kept kicking him.

Veronica started screaming.

"YOU BASTARD, STOP, MAKE HIM STOP." Veronica yelled to Marsh who was getting annoyed.

"Veronica." he said calmly trying to settle her down. Veronica was trying to pull herself out of the chair.

"NO SHUT UP, YOU SON OF A BITCH LET HIM GO" Veronica yelled.

Marsh lost him patients; he pulled up the book next to them and swung it at Veronica. She didn't see it coming and slammed to the ground. Her arm twisted as she hit the ground. Veronica screamed in pain. Marsh stood up and went to the leaving Veronica there. Veronica bit her lip and tried to move off her arm.

"Next time be careful as to what you say." Marsh said then left the room. Another man came in and picked Veronica up off the ground and pulled her toward the door. While she was being pushed away she looked over at the mirror she saw that the room was empty.

Veronica was pushed into the room she woke up in. they took off her handcuffs. She held her arm so she wouldn't feel the pain. She looked around for her father.

"Veronica over here." She heard a voice say in the dark, she walked over to her father.

"Dad" She leaned over her father. He was a little bloody but that's all. She could tell he was hurting.

He looked up at his daughter. She had a cut under her right eye and she was holding her left arm.

"Veronica what did they do to you?" Keith asked. She looked at herself then back at him.

"Oh this, this is nothing just bad temper." Veronica said trig to smile, but found it hard.

"Veronica what have we gotten into, what are we going to do?"

"C'mon, we're Mars people." She said as she sat next to him "We'll think of something." She told him putting her head on his shoulders.

Veronica woke up to the sound of gunshots going off. She looked around. Her father was at the door, he had his ear to it.

"Dad?" Veronica whispered.

"Shh I am trying to hear." Keith told her. Veronica walked over to him.

"What is happening?" Veronica asked as she heard more shots go off.

"Get away from the door." Keith told her as he backed up as well.

There was a burst and then Veronica was looking up at two men in bulletproof vests, they both had badges around their necks on a chain.

"C'mon, we gotta move" one of them yelled to Veroncia and her dad.

Veronica grabbed her dads hand and ran out of the room. Veronica could still hear gun fire, but she didn't see it.

They followed the two men down three hallways before they reached double doors. The men pushed the door open. Bullets were flying though the air from both ways. Cars were beached upon the lot, cops were shooting at the buildings all around her. Her heart was beating fast. She looked around to see where they were going. One of the officers turned around to her and her dad.

"My partner here is going to take you both over there to them okay?" he said as he pointed. Veronica looked over and saw he was pointing to an ambulance. She nodded and turned to follow the other officer.

They skillfully got to the ambulance. Just as Veronica got in and settled her father, she took a quick look out the back door. She scanned the area and finally saw what she was looking for. She turned to the doctor.

"I'll be right back" Veronica told him. Before either of them could say any thing to stop her, she was out the back.

Veronica ran over to a cop car, and ducked behind it, she looked over to where she wanted to go. Her heart was pounding. She took a breath and waited till the bullets decreased. When finally they did she took a run for it. Veronica slid behind the side of the car. She looked around.

"Veronica?" She heard a voice say from the side of her.

She turned and saw Lamb holding a rifle, crouched down, and looking over at her. She smiled and ignored the gunfire and slowly ran over to him. He dropped his gun and wrapped him arms around her. She leaned in and kissed him like she hadn't seen him for weeks. She didn't care if anyone was watching. He sort of fell over, but steadied himself. Veronica looked up at him.

"How did you find us?" Veronica asked. He started to answer but was interrupted but a bullet over there heads.

"Veronica, we need to leave." Lamb told her. Veronica nodded and moved to get a better look on how to get back to her dad.

"This way," Lamb said as he grabbed her hand and pulled her along. They started running toward the ambulance. Some gunfire broke them apart. Veronica was ahead of Lamb and ducked under a car. Lamb wasn't quick enough. Veronica was looking straight at him when the bullet pierced his side. He fell to the ground. Veronica screamed, and crawled over to him.

She looked at the wound and then at Lamb's face, he was in pain. Veronica moved over and pulled him over her legs, and wrapped her arms around him. She put her hand over the bullet hole, crying softly.

"C'mon, c'mon." Veronica whispered to him. She heard her name being called. She looked up and saw the doctor standing by another ambulance, when he saw the men in her arms he ran over to her.

"Help him please." Veronica said tearfully. She let the man take Lamb away and into the ambulance. She noticed that there were no longer guns going off. She stood up and watched the ambulance drive away. Veronica wiped her eyes of tears, and started to walk back to the ambulance that held her father.

Veronica stared at her ceiling and sighed. She turned over to her side and winced at the pain in her arm. She thought about the last couple of days...

After she got her arm patched up and her cut tended to she went to the hospital to check on Lamb.

--

Veronica walked in the hospital, and walked up the nurse station.

"Hello, umm Don Lamb?" Veronica asked the lady behind the desk. She smiled and looked though some papers. She stopped and looked at Veronica.

"I'm so sorry, he seemed to have passed during surgery." She said in a grave tone.

Veronica turned away without saying anything. She could feel the room spinning as she walked back out the door. Veronica walked up to her car and opened the door, she fell into the seat and started to cry. Veronica felt as though she wanted to just curl up and cry. And that was just what she was planning on doing. She wiped her eyes some and started the car.

--

And here she was not feeling any better then yesterday.

All her friends came to see her after they heard she was safe. Even the FBI came to tell her that they had Charlie Marsh behind bars and that he was going to stay there for the rest of his life. But that didn't help her anymore then she hoped it would.

Veronica knew it wasn't her fault. But she had to blame someone. She blamed Charlie Marsh for robbing that bank that day, she blames herself for being there when it happened, she blames her car for breaking down that day, but she knew none of those things had anything to do with it.

I should have titled this chapter Ambulance because I had to write it so many freaking times (copy and paste my friends, copy and paste.)

I know I know. I killed off Lamb! It was the only way, I swear. Every story I read about Lamb and Veronica I feel as though in the end they are not meant to be together. Sorry if you don't feel the same way.


(if you are reading this for the second time I changed the ending, because I didn't really like it.)

Anyway I hope you liked my story.
