Rating: PG13
Summary: Logan and Veronica head for home but will both of them make it there?
Disclaimer: They aren't mine. Also the song is "I Need You" by Tommy Lee.
I need you
I need so much
I need you
Get me out of this place
I need you
With the lightning this close
I can see
There so much in this world make believe
And this ticking clock isn't for me
And still nobody knew
I need you
Veronica and Logan were about a half an hour away from entering Neptune when Veronica noticed a sleek black car following them. "Logan, get off at the next exit."
"Veronica its not that simple for me, I need a little foreplay first," Logan said smiling.
"Ha-ha. Just do it for me," Veronica said.
"Fine. You're no fun," Logan pouted.
A few minutes later, they reached the exit and Logan did as Veronica instructed. "Ok, now what?"
He noticed Veronica glance in the rearview mirror before she answered, "Ok now pull into that McDonalds."
After Logan had parked, Veronica glanced around. "Dammit."
"What is it?" Logan asked.
"There's a black car that's been tailing us for the past twenty minutes," she told him.
"Its probably just the damn paparazzi," he told her.
"No believe me it's not the paparazzi," Veronica told him.
"Ok then, who is it Miss Super Sleuth?" Logan asked.
I need you in my blacker days
I need you when the walls are coming down
I need you
Through this hole in my chest I can feel
That so much in this world isn't real
And there's something that you cannot steal
Tell me what can I do I need you
Before Veronica had a chance to respond a newscaster interrupted the Tommy Lee song that was playing on the radio: "Aaron Echolls convicted killer of Lilly Kane and star of breaking point has escaped from prison. As many of you may remember Mr. Echolls is scheduled for execution in two weeks. Police have said he is armed and considered to be in a very volatile state of mind. Mr. Echolls' son Logan and daughter Trina could not be reached for comment."
"Wow Trina's not responding to the press, that's strange," Logan said.
Veronica was feeling very nauseous after hearing the newscaster." What if the black car that's following us is him Logan?" Veronica asked.
"No it couldn't be," Logan said, but his facial expressions conveyed a different opinion.
Within the next second Veronica was screaming, Aaron climbed into the backseat of her car.
"Well its nice to see you to, Veronica," Aaron laughed. "Hello son."
"Get the hell out of this car!" Logan screamed.
And the sun would rise
In the jasmine skies
And I'm lying awake in your bed
Sometimes I don't remember
Why cant I forget
I need you
Aaron just laughed. He pulled a gun from his waistband and said, "I'm not going anywhere. You and I are going to take a nice long drive son."
"I'm not going anywhere with you," Logan said.
Aaron pressed his gun to Veronica's temple as he spoke, "Oh yes you are or you will be looking for a new girlfriend."
Veronica was in tears and shaking. Logan knew what he had to do. He couldn't risk Veronica or their baby's life.
"Ok fine. I'll do whatever you want, but please just let Veronica go," Logan pleaded.
Aaron appeared to being mulling that over. Finally he responded, "Ok fine she can go, but if I see one cop, you're dead."
"No Logan I'm not going to leave you," Veronica said.
"Veronica think about this logically. I've lived with him my whole life. I can handle this. Just go inside and call Meg to come and get you," Logan told her. He hoped mentioning Meg to come get her instead of her father or Wallace would get her to think about the baby. He didn't want to mention the baby directly, because he refused for his father to have that kind of ammunition.
Luckily Veronica understood what he was trying to tell her. She gave Logan a kiss before getting out of the car. As she headed into the restaurant she saw her car pull out of the parking lot and she collapsed right there in the entryway to the restaurant.
I need you there's so much in this world that is true
No not much I'm not willing to do
I cant be without you
I need you (repeat 9 times)
