This Story is from Aaron's point of view. And the Italic's are Aaron's thoughts.
(A/N: Just to let everyone know, I have extended this to a Five Part Story.
Thank you so much to everyone that has read my story. And many more thanks to the people who have reviewed my story It means a lot to me. There's only one more part to this story, and then maybe I'll continue to write my other story Who Can You Count On. Anyways, please keep reading, and please keep reviewing. Hope you like the different approach I took with this story.)
"Would you please excuse me for a minute Governor?" I finally get the chance I need to sneak into Lily's room. I close the door softly behind me, and look around. I finally see what I need. I make my way up to the air vent, and I take the screw driver out of my pocket. I get one screw half way undone, when I hear a clattering noise from right outside the door.
Crap! What are they doing outside the bedroom? Quick gotta hide in case someone decides to come in. How would I explain being in here? I look around quickly for a place to hide, and I decide on the closet. I get into the closet, and as I'm about to close the door all the way, someone walks in. I leave the door open part way.
What the hell? Is that someone from the wait staff? What the hell is she doing in this room? She doesn't belong here. And why did she just grab that chair and pull it over to the air vent? Wait a minute. That can't just be some random person. If I didn't know any better, I would say that it's Veronica Mars in a disguise. Clever girl.
All of a sudden the door bursts open and someone comes running in. He tackles her off the chair. "Who the hell are you? What are you doing in here?"
"Duncan, Duncan, it's me." She whips off the wig.
"Veronica! What are you doing?" So it is Veronica. Of course it is. It's thanks to her I knew to look in the air vent. Should have known she would come and try to take a look inside.
"I'm looking for something."
"No, come on let's see what you can find out. Really, I want you to. Find out everything. Uh, maybe I left a confession on my Etch-A-Sketch." It takes all my strength to hold in my laugh. What is wrong with him? That's a great line though. His Etch-A-Scetch. Who would of thought of that?
"Duncan, Duncan, calm down, okay. I don't think you killed Lilly, Duncan. I think Logan did." Yea you little bitch. That's why the cops came to my house. Though I guess I should be thanking you. It led me here, and it lets me know that I'm still off the hook. Though the blame is closer to home then I would like it to be.
"No, no way." Maybe he isn't so dumb after all.
"Let's see what's in there." Looks like I get to see if the tapes are really in there. Hmm wonder what my son Logan would have to say to Lily after finding out she was cheating.
She returns to the vent and removes the grate. She reaches in.
"Well?"
"There's just these." Veronica holds up the tapes. Lily, Lily, Lily. You really thought you were smarter then me. Well thanks to your friend Veronica, I now know where you hid the tapes. Now I just have to figure out how to get them back without them seeing what's on them.
"I've got a camera we can play 'em on." Shit. There goes that idea. Now I have to figure out what to do now that they're both gonna watch the tapes. Well maybe Duncan won't be so hard. He seems like he's crazy. No one would believe him. Didn't he say to look in his room for the clues? Like he or everyone else thinks he killed his sister.
I wait until I know they're gone. I open the closet door, and I walk over to the air vent and stick my arm inside. Just want to make sure that there's nothing else in there.
I feel something else all the way in the back, and I pull it out. What's Lily doing hiding a note in here? I open it, but it's just a note Logan wrote to Lily. I fold it back up and pause. Didn't Veronica just say Logan wrote Lily a note that would prove he didn't kill her? This must be it. I stick the note in my back pocket, and I walk over to the door and slowly open it. I peak my head out to make sure no one is watching. When the coast is clear, I walk out and over to the hallway that I hope leads to Duncan's room. I carefully listen at the door that I hope is his.
Then I hear Veronica say, "Oh my god."
"Mr. Echolls?" I jump back in surprise. Do they know I'm listening? I wait a few more seconds, but the door never opens. Then I hear Veronica say, "I know what happened. I know what happened."
As I listen to her tell the story, I can't help being amused. She really is a smart one. She learned well from Keith. Unfortunately, she learned too much for her own good.
I focus back in time to hear Duncan say, "Could he really do it?"
"He's psychotic. I watched him beat a guy into a bloody mess and then ask Logan how his school day was. He beats Logan, you know?" Now wait a minute. That's not fair. That asshole boyfriend deserved it. Beating up on my little girl. He got what he deserved. No one lays a hand on my baby girl.
"He's here. Now. He came to meet the governor." And it's a good thing I came too. I would have never known this was going on. Now I can stop it.
"I have to get these tapes to my dad. Will you help me? You keep Aaron in your sight at all times until I call you." That's my cue to leave. Maybe I should follow her in my car. Maybe run her off the road. But that won't work, I won't be able to make it to my car in time. I think as I walk away and start to head outside. But if I wait in Veronica's car, then I can get the tapes back. That's it.
I try to open Veronica's driver door, and I'm surprised to see that it opens. I crawl into the backseat, and hope I don't have to wait to long for her to get into her car.
Five minutes later, and the driver door opens. Finally, my legs are starting to fall asleep. She drives away.
A few minutes later I start to sit up, and her cell phone goes off. It surprises me, and I duck back down.
It's Duncan. Looks like he can't find me. Ha, Ha I wonder why.
She hangs up the phone, and I hear her toss it into the passenger seat. Now's my chance to get up. I sit up, and I can see her look into the rearview mirror. She screams and swerves the car a bit before she straightens back out. I tell her to keep driving.
I reach over to her bag, and right away I find the tapes. "Oh. I've been looking for these." I put the tapes in my front right pocket of my jeans. Before I could do or say anything else, the car is violently thrown to the left. Before I have time to react, the car hits a tree and keeps going down an incline. I just have enough time to grab onto the seats to brace myself, when I feel the car flip over. All I can feel is pain as my body is thrown around on its own. Next thing I know, I see the dashboard just before everything goes black.
"Oohh!" My head hurts, and I hear crunching sounds. What's going on? Where am I? Why does my head hurt? What is that awful noise?
I lift my head up a bit, and I see Veronica crawling away. Wait, where are you going? Don't leave! What's going on?
I reach out and grab her leg. She screams and then starts shaking it. My grip starts to loosen, and the next thing I know, pain explodes in my face. "OWW!" I completely let go of her leg and bring my hands up to my nose. Blood is dripping everywhere. That bitch! What did she do that for? That's it, she's going to pay for that.
I crawl out of the car, and stand up. Once I get my bearings, I look around and I notice we're in the woods. In the distance, I can see Veronica trying the escape. I start to run after her.
I remember what happened now. That bitch ran the car off the road, and I wasn't wearing a seatbelt. I am going to make her pay for everything that she has done. I figured that if Keith couldn't figure out who killed Lily, then there was no way in hell anyone would find out. Especially Veronica Mars. She is a clever one.
As I get closer to her, I notice that she has a stick with her, and she's limping. Almost like she was dragging her leg. "Veronica! You think you can get away so easily? Think again. I'm gonna get you, and I'm going to make you pay for what you did to me."
She looks behind herself at me, and she lets out a gasp. She tries to pick up the pace. This means I have to pick up the pace too. It hurts to move, but it seems it hurts just as much for her.
"Veronica!" I say teasingly. As if this is all just a game to me. It won't be once I get my hands on her.
I'm just about to tackle her to the ground, when she turns to the left and starts to make it up the hill. She struggles as she holds onto the walking stick for dear life. Should have known she wouldn't make it so easy to get her. She really knows what she's doing.
I'm panting now as I try to keep up with her. It helps that I can hear her crying as she continues up the hill. I'm about to yell out to her again, but I see that she's reached a flat area. She must have found the road. Good that will make it easier for me to follow her and catch her on a flat surface.
When I reach the top of the hill, I can see her run out into the middle of the road. I think she hears the car at the same time that I do. We both look to the right, and have enough time to register that it's a cop car before it rams into her.
Eternalgorithm: Lol well I don't want to give it away if you don't get it, but I suppose I'll be nice and tell you. Yea Leo hit Veronica with his car. It wasn't on purpose. Veronica ran out in front of the car. Hope that helps to clear up your confusion. Thanks for reading and reviewing.
Erinna: Woohoo! Lol I don't think I've ever had anyone on the edge of there seat. That's awesomeness. Well If I had Aaron be hit head on, that would have been the safe way to do it. I wanted to take a chance. Hope it works out well.
Klutz101: Yes, yes, poor Veronica. Thanks for the review. Hope you like this part as well.
Simply Lily: Aww thank you! Lmao that would be so fkn hilarious if the guys were standing around a dead Veronica and saying Oops. I almost cried when I read what you ….but since this isn't a comedy but a drama, that won't happen. I would have totally done it though!Lol well it seems like I won't be hurting you with rough diamonds seeing how you were a lot closer to my thinking then anyone else was.
