Spoilers through 1.22

A/N: Thanks to lex, my muse. Thanks for the lovely feedback as well. There is one flashback in this chapter, as well as one line of VMVO and both are in italics. Also, during the flashback, the normal font is coversation occurring over top of the flashback, a la 1.21, ATttD.


The glow of the porch light gave him an air of innocence that Veronica ordinarily would have commented on, except she was too worried about Logan to bother at that moment.

"Please, tell me you got something for me." Veronica said, gripping the doorknob. Weevil opened his mouth to reply, but stopped as Duncan walked up behind her. He took a second glance at Veronica in her robe, and smirked at the pair.

"Well, well, well." He said. Veronica flushed to the roots of her hair.

"Veronica, what's going on?" Duncan spoke up.

"I sent Weevil after Logan last night when I couldn't reach him." Veronica answered. "Tell me you found him?" She directed at Weevil.

"Hi, Weevil. Why don't you come in and sit down?" Weevil snarked, leaning against the door jam. Duncan moved as if he was going to attack Weevil, but Veronica put a hand on his arm.

"Hi, Weevil. Why don't you come in and sit down before Duncan does something stupid, like punch you, and ends up with a black that rivals mine for his trouble?" Veronica replied, using her perky voice. Weevil grinned, stepping inside. Duncan glared at both of them. "Either you chill, or leave, Duncan. You're the one who said you wanted to help." Duncan held up his hands in mock surrender and sat back down on her couch. Veronica shut the door behind Weevil, and turned to face the biker. He raised her chin and scoped out her eye, whistling in admiration.

"I take it you heard who really killed Lilly, then." Veronica said.

"Yeah." Weevil averted his gaze, looking at anything but her. "I heard."

Weevil and the rest of the P.C.H. Biker gang pulled to a stop next to Logan's yellow X-terra. Weevil pulled off his helmet and stared at Logan, who was weaving drunkenly on the cement ledge of the bridge.

"Seriously, what do you...what do you think you can do to me?" Logan asked, chuckling.

"I'll think of something." Weevil answered drily. Logan wobbled as he waved his hands into the 'bring it' gesture.

"Please tell me this is the part where you pulled him off the ledge, and drove him home." Veronica interrupted.

"Who's telling the story here, huh?" Weevil shot back.

Weevil gestured for some of the guys to head for Logan, and they pulled the struggling teen off the ledge and towards Weevil.

"It was like watching drunk mime try to climb out of an invisible box." Weevil said. "I was laughing."

"You know," Weevil began casually, as the boys pulled Logan towards the driver's side of his car, and none too gently pushed him back against the hood. "When Lilly dumped me and went back to you, I really didn't like you so much." Logan snorted.

"There's a shocker."

"Didn't anyone ever tell you that interrupting others is rude?" Weevil asked, his eyes narrowing.

"Must have missed that etiquette lesson." Logan shot back, struggling against the biker's holding him in place.

"Now where was I...oh. Now that I know you didn't kill Lilly...well, I still don't like you." Weevil said. Logan stilled the moment he heard that Weevil thought he was innocent, and stared at the biker in shock. Weevil gestured for the other bikers to back off, and they did, stepping back.

"It was like a scene from a movie, really." Weevil commented. "There we were, face to face, heavy metal playing on the radio from his car, and horns blowing at us from the traffic passing by."

"I think Logan's dad was in a movie like that." Duncan spoke up.

"I think we're off the topic." Veronica steered them back to Logan.

Weevil moved closer to Logan.

"I'm here because Veronica asked me to find you. She's worried about you." Weevil said.

"That pesky Veronica. She's always so worried about those she betrays. She's funny like that." Logan replied, sipping from the flask that he was somehow still holding.

They were silent. The radio cut off mid-song behind them, and an announcer's voice came on.

"This just in. I hope you're sitting down for this one, Neptune. The police have just made a new arrest in the Lilly Kane murder case. That's right, folks, the police have just made a new arrest in the Lilly Kane murder case. Hang on to your hats, because it's Neptune's very own movie star, Aaron Echolls." The announcer continued, but neither Weevil or Logan heard. They were too busy staring at each other with shocked gazes.

Logan was the first to move, slipping around Weevil and into his car. He slammed the door shut, and started the engine.

"I suggest you tell your boy to move his bike, or it's about to become road kill." Logan nearly demanded, as the bikers moved out of his way. Logan peeled out, leaving tire treads behind him. Weevil and his gang followed after a few minutes, leaving some treads of their own.

"He drove away? Left the bridge?" Duncan couldn't keep the suspicion from his voice.

"Yeah." Weevil answered. "I was hoping he had tracked you down, but I'm guessing that's a no." Veronica nodded.

"They found his suv on the Coronado Bridge this morning, abandoned." Veronica replied. Weevil's eyebrows raised.

"He left the bridge, V. I swear." Weevil promised.

"I know...I saw the tire tracks." She said. They both glanced at her, surprised.

"So, Logan left the bridge just after Aaron was arrested and arrived back at the bridge sometime before 3:00am." Veronica surmised. "Where did he go? And what did he do when he got back to the bridge?" She asked aloud, as if the answer would just appear out of thin air.

Of course it couldn't be that simple.
