Well, sorry I haven't updated. Thanks for all the great reviews and putting this on your story alert list. I know the conclusion Veronica comes to seems a bit out there, but it does seem like a plausible conclusion when you look at all the clues I guess. Well here's thesecond chapter for you. I hope to have the third one up soon. (It'll be sooner than this one becuase I actually have my weekly dose of VM again now that it's off hiatus)

Chapter Two

"So, we're in the car," Logan point's out, his arm resting on the roof of the car as they drive down the road towards the Kane's, "are you going to tell me what we're doing. I think after our little surprise 'coming out' party, Duncan isn't going to be the most inviting person."

"I think…" she pauses. She's not sure how to tell him about her …theory. It's a bit out there, but it's also plausible and worth checking out.

"What's going on?" Logan asks again a bit more seriously.

"I have a theory…I think I know what happened to Lily," she stares straight at the road. She doesn't want to see his face. She doesn't want to tell him what her theory is. She almost hopes she's wrong…almost.

He's silent for a moment before… he clears his throat attempting not to sound too emotional in front of his new girlfriend. "You think you know who the killer is?" he asks, "I thought you said it was probably Duncan,"

"Well, Duncan's still a possibility," She whispers pulling onto the street where the Kane's. "But…" she pauses again, she can't tell him, not until she knows for sure, one way or the other. "Look, I just want to make sure."

"Veronica, please," Logan begs, he has to know.

"I don't want you to get hurt, but you will," She whispers taking a deep breath. She tries to compose herself as they pull into the Kane's driveway. She parks the car and turns to Logan, "Duncan will let us in, right?" she asks, sniffling a little. "I mean, he has to, right?"

"I'll make sure he does if this is what we need to do." Logan tells her brushing some hair out of her face. He kisses her forehead before climbing out of the car.

They reach the front door and Veronica rings the bell. "I think maybe I should do the talking. Again, physical force is not always the answer." she smiles at him. He takes her hand in his but Veronica drops it when she sees Duncan through the glass.

He seems to try and hide in the shadows a moment, trying to decide whether he should talk to them or not. Finally, he opens the door and stares at them coolly.

"Duncan," Veronica starts slowly.

"What do you want from me?" he asks looking at the both of them angrily. "First, you accuse me of I killed my sister. At least, I thought, you were on my side Logan, and then you go off with her. I thought you were my friend."

"Duncan, we're not here to talk about that," Veronica pleads, "I think there might be proof in Lily's room to who her killer is."

"What are you talking about? The police went through there. I know you think you're smarter than everyone Veronica, but I'm sure the police would have caught such incriminating evidence." Duncan tells her hotly.

"Not if they didn't look in her air vents." Veronica responds desperately.

Duncan pauses now. He can't dispute this fact. The police had never looked in the air vents in his sister's room. The only people that had known about that were standing on his front porch at this moment. He wonders why he had never thought to look there, or tell someone.

"What do you think is in there?" he asks a bit more interested in what she has to say.

"Please can we go in? We'll look together, I don't know if I'm right" she asks glancing edgily at Logan who is staring at her intensely.

Duncan catches the glance and stands up straighter, "tell me now. How do I know you're not making it up and you're not just trying to plant tiny cameras or something in here?"

"I wouldn't do that Duncan," Veronica tries to convince him.

"Really, because that seems right up your alley, right up there breaking into a doctor's office to look into someone's medical history without their permission." He crosses his arms.

"Duncan, she's telling the truth," Logan says, speaking for the first time since their arrival.

Duncan glances at his former-best-friend before turning back to the petite blonde, "What are you expecting to find Veronica?"

She glances at Logan quickly before answering, "Tapes."

"Tapes of what?" Duncan asks with a slight chuckle of disbelief.

Veronica sighs looking at the two young men standing with her. "Tonight, at the party…Logan's dad…came on to me, sort of."

"What?"

"What?" Logan asks moving closer to her, "I…when? When I was upstairs? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Just…" she gives him a look telling him to stay quiet. "He mentioned Lilly. I think he probably did the same thing to her…and knowing Lilly…" she trailed off avoiding Logan's gaze.

"She probably gave in without a second thought," Duncan finishes for her.

Veronica looks up at him and nods. "We also found cameras in the pool house above the beds…I think they were having an affair when she died. She told me at the car wash she had a really great secret, I think it was the tapes I think she may have found them. And to get attention…"

"She'd have wanted to display them," Duncan adds catching on, "But why does this mean Logan's dad…"

"Aaron is …violent…" Veronica sighs unsure of how else to put it.

"No," Logan says, stepping away from the two, "Veronica this is some sick way of getting back at me for Shelly Pomroy's party isn't it? Please say this is a joke. She wouldn't do that to me. Not my dad… he…" Logan trails off. This is too much. It can't be true…they wouldn't.

"Logan, I wouldn't make this stuff up…" Veronica tells him reaching out but he pulls away. He doesn't seem to do it because he's angry with her, he seems sincerely overcome with uncertainty and hurt, so she tries again, this time grabbing his hand and pulling him close to her again. "I might be wrong, this is all speculation… but it could have happened, we need to know. Either to find out Aaron really did it or to cross him off our list. Please, let's just go in and find the tapes," She looks at Duncan when she says this letting him know that she wants to go in now.

"Fine, just…Veronica, try not to let my mom see you she'll…"

"Bite my head off, I know," She follows Duncan into the house, pulling Logan gently behind her.
