Disclaimer: I do not own Veronica Mars.
Wow I can honestly say that I haven't haven't been able to get into this story as much as I used to be. I'm just glad I stuck with it. I had a fantastic time writing this chapter. I hope everyone likes it as much as I did. Also, shout out to rhapsodysenigma. Hope this helps cheer you up :P
--------------------------------
Veronica finds Curly's phone number and calls him. Logan continues to pace the room. Finally the answering machine picks up. "This is Curly. Can't make it to the phone right now. You know what to do at the beep." Beep. "Hi Curly this is Alyson Hannigan. I'm looking for a stunt man for this new movie were filming called "Busted." If you're interested, please call me back at 555-0592. Thank you for you're time." Veronica ends the call and calls her voice mail. "Hey this is Alyson Hannigan, sorry I couldn't make it to the phone, but please leave you're name and number, and I will get back to you asap."
Logan stops pacing and sits down next to Veronica. "So what do we do now?"
"Now we look around some more and hope we find out some more clues."
For the next hour they searched through everything tirelessly for they hadn't had any sleep since the night before and the jet lag was starting to kick in. They pass out on the bed. "Did you find anything?" Veronica asks Logan."
"Well I found out what kind of underwear she wears, which by the way, I did not need too know. What about you?"
Well I did find this letter. It was hidden under the bed."
"What does it say?"
To whom this may concern,
If anyone finds this letter please know that my life is in danger. My husband has hired someone to find me. I believe this person is dangerous. I see him watching me, and I know that he has a gun. If you find this note, it means that he has already found me. I have been watching him, and he was staying at the Sheradon Hotel. Please help me.
From,
Lynn
"Why didn't you say anything when you found it!" Logan accusses as he rips the note out of her hand and scans the note closely for more clues.
"I just found it folded up. Give me a break I didn't know what it was."
Logan jumps up and walks over to the door.
"Where are you going?" Veronica asks curiously.
Logan opens the door and turns back to her impatiently. "Where else would I go? I'm going to the Sheradon Hotel. My question to you is why aren't you right behind me?"
"Look I know you're anxious to find you're mother, but don't take it out on me. I'm here to help you. I want to help her just as much as you do. Now let's go were wasting time." Veronica brushed by Logan as she walks through the door and into the hallway. Logan growls. "You drive me crazy woman!"
"Then half of my job is complete."
--------------------
"Welcome the the Sheradon Hotel. How may I help you this fine morning?"
"Thanks Rebecca. You sure can help me. I'm looking for my Uncle Moran. David Moran. I just flew out here, and I wanted to surprise him, but I don't know what room he's staying in. Could you please tell me what room he's staying in?"
Rebecca types his name into the computer. "I'm sorry but it seems you're Uncle isn't here anymore. He signed out yesterday."
Veronica puts a sad look on her face. "What? no! He said he would be here til at least tomorrow. What am I supposed to do now? Did he say where he was going? Was he with anyone?" Veronica looks at Rebecca with hope in her eyes.
"Actually I was the one who checked him out. I remember him. He was with a lady. Now that I think about it, she seemed upset. Almost like she was scared. If I remember correctly, he took a taxi. the same taxi driver's are here today. Maybe they can help you out."
"The woman..." Logan asks anxiously. "What did she look like?"
"Well she had short hair. Almost shoulder length. And it was brown with blonde streaks. She had sunglassess on, and she had big lips. Very pretty."
"Thank you so much for you're help. I just hope I find him before I have to leave again." Veronica says as she grabs Logan's arm and they start to walk away.
"You're welcome dear. Anything I can do to help." Rebecca says to their retreating forms.
They make their way over to the cab drivers where they were all standing around waiting for people. "Excuse me, but have you seen this man?" Veronica asks as she holds up Curly's picture. "He's my Uncle and I really need to find him."
One man steps forward. "I remember him. And his lady friend he had with him. Very hot."
Logan takes a threatening step forwards, but Veronica holds him back. "Do you remember where he went? I really need to see him."
The guy thinks about it. "Si, I remember. Was an unusual request. He asked to go to Hell's Kitchen."
"Could you please take us there? That would mean so much to me." Veronica pastes on a fake smile.
"Sure little thing anything for you." He walks over to a taxi and gets in.
"Down boy. He's our only hope right now." Veronica whispers to Logan who started advancing on the man.
-------------------------------------
"This is it. This is where I dropped him off."
"Thank you so much for all of you're help." Veronica says as she pays the driver. "Glad I could help. You just be careful. This isn't a safe neighborhood." He takes the money and when they get out of the taxi, drives away.
"This is it. Are you ready?" Veronica asks but stops short as Logan starts to walk up the stairs. "Ok I guess that's a yes."
Logan rings the bell. Finally someone opens the door. "Yes?" He ask's in a rude voice.
"Yes hi. I'm looking for my Uncle. He just came here yesterday. He was with a woman. Brown hair with blonde streaks. Have you seen them?"
"Yea. they rented the room on the third floor." The guy answered as he held the door open for them. Once they were in the door, the land lord closes the door and walks away to a room down the hall where he slams the door. They jump back from the noise of the door slamming. Veronica shivers.
Logan grabs onto her hand, and slowly leads them up the stairs. They made it up to the third floor where they notice there are four doors. Two on each side.
"Great! What are we supposed to do? Knock on every damn door!"
"How about we listen to what is going on behind each door? Then decide what to do?" Veronica suggests.
"Fine." Logan huffs as he makes his way down the left side. Veronica shakes her head. "Boys." She mumbles under her breath. "I swear. There such babies."
"What was that?" Logan asks as he turns away from the door he had his ear on.
"Nothing sweetheart. I was just admiring you're backside."
"Thought so. But maybe a little less admiring and a little more ease dropping. Were trying to find my mother or have you forgotten?"
Veronica rolls her eyes. "Yes dear. Whatever you say dear." Veronica says sarcastically as she makes her way up to the first door. She listens closely but soon backs away laughing when groaning and moaning could be heard clearly from the other side.
"What's so funny?" Logan hisses from the second door he's checking out.
"Can't you hear it? I mean it's kind of obvious what's going on behind this door." Veronica says trying to hold in her laughter as she makes her way to the second door.
"You're just jealous cuz we do it much better." Logan comments.
"Jealous? Where did jealous come from? Who said anything about jealous?" You're so full of it." Veronica whispers back in mock anger.
"You know you love me sweet lips." Logan smacks a kiss in her direction.
"Jackass!" Veronica turns her back on him and puts her ear up against the door. She lets out a little squeal of shock when she feels Logan push his body against hers. He grinds into her backside. She tries to hold her moan from slipping past her lips.
"What was that you called me?" Logan breathes heavily into her ear causing her to forget everything but the feel of him behind her.
"Uhh..." Veronica manage to get out. Logan pulls back. "That's what I thought."
"Hey!" Veronica whisper yells at Logan as she turns around to face him and puts her hands on her waist.
All of a sudden they can hear yelling coming from the door behind Veronica. They both turn around and put there ear against the door. They shouting is muffled, but there's no denying it. It's Lynn's voice screaming back on the other end.
Logan and Veronica look at each other in schock. Logan holds up three fingers. He slowly counts down until there's no fingers left. They back up against the other wall, and run into the door with their shoulders. The door hinges shatter, and they stumble. Veronica falls onto her knees, but Logan manages to keep his balance. He lifts her up.
"Freeze!" Logan bellows in his deepest voice he can manage. Though there was no need to say it as they all stare at each other in surprise.
"Logan?" Lynn whispers.
"Mom?" It's really you?" Logan whispers back.
Meanwhile Veronica takes in her surroundings. She see's Curly on one end and Lynn on the other. She see's Curly pull out a gun and start to aim at Lynn. Without thinking Veronica launches herself across the room and collides with Lynn just in time to hear the gun go off and hear Logan scream "NO!"
Lynn and Veronica fall to the ground. Logan starts to run over to them as Curly starts to run for the door. Logan sticks out his leg and trips Curly. Curly falls and lands on his face. Logan runs over to his two woman just as he can hear doors start to open and close. Logan pulls Veronica off of Lynn and he notice's there's blood all over Lynn's shirt.
"Mom! Oh god you've been shot! NO! You're going to be ok. I'll take care of you. You can't get rid of me anymore. I love you mom." Logan manages to choke out around his sobs. Lynn's hands go up to her chest and feels around. She pulls he hands up and looks at the blood on them. "Honey, it's not my blood."
"What?" Logan reels backwards as her words sink in. "Veronica!" Logan yells as he turns to his side and looks down at Veronica. She's on her side gripping at her chest.
"Oh god Veronica!" Logan lunges for her as the voices in the background fades away. "Oh god no! Veronica please! I can't lose you!" Logan pleads as the tears stream openly down his face. He picks her up as gingerly as possible and cradles her in his arms. "Baby no! I need you. You can't leave me." he places his hands on her chest and holds down as hard as he can trying to stop the blood flow. He goes to wipe the tears from his face but instead manages to smear her blood on his cheeks. Lynn comes over too them with a towel in her hands and applies it to the wound.
"Logan sweety. It's going to be ok. We'll save her. You'll see." Lynn tries to comfort her son as her own tears make there way down her own cheeks.
"But you don't understand! Were supposed to get married and have lots of kids. I can't lose her now!" Logan is openly sobbing now as he tries to get the words out.
Lynn looks down worridly at the towel filling up with Veronica's blood. Lynn looks up just in time to see the paramedics come into the room. "Oh thank god!"
Lynn and Logan are pushed to the side as the paramedics start to take care of Veronica. They immediately get an oxygen mask over her mouth and take care of trying to stop the blood flow. They get her on a stretcher and Logan follows them to the hospital as Lynn stays behind and talks to the police as they arrest Curly.
