I NEED A BREAK CH. 7

Underwater

Don Lamb stormed back into his office, hoping against hope that the Feds hadn't gotten back from Big Bear yet. He wouldn't ever breathe a word to anyone about what had happened in Mexico, he'd lose his seat as sheriff for sure.

He'd done everything he was supposed to; watched out for Veronica, kept track of every trail and every detail, and left immediately when there was finally a break. Lamb was confident that the FBI wasn't needed, that he'd find the stupid kid by himself.

Well... at least they hadn't found Kane either.

Lamb was sitting at his desk staring at the wood grain with a very unpleasant expression on his face when the deputy stuck his head in and asked, "Any luck?"

"Do you see Kane, here?" Lamb snapped without moving. "Hey!" He called as the deputy moved to leave the room. "Don't mention to anyone that I went down there."

No questions asked, he left and shut the door behind him.

Lamb had done everything right. He saw the notification that Kane's ATM card had been used down in Mexico and booked it down there while the FBI nimrods were going upstate. The older man at the location where the card had been used told him to try up the road a bit... and a boy there told him to try down the road a bit...

Lamb wasn't sure just where Kane had climbed out of his trunk. It could have been the first stop... or the second... but when the black and white went over some old train tracks, it was obvious that the cable had been cut.

He wouldn't breathe a word.

"So," Veronica started in a very neutral voice after about five minutes of floating with Logan watching her. "Where'd you stash your car?"

"The Burger Stop." Logan answered with a grin.

"How do you even know they bugged anything? Do you know what to look for?"

"Well maybe Ms. Mars can come inspect my apartment."

"Your apartment?" Veronica moved to stand up in the pool instead of floating on top of the water.

"I am alone in there... unless you wanna move in."

"You're just full of responses today, aren't you?" Logan smirked at her but offered no come back. "I should be getting back."

"Right." Logan answered lowly, watching Veronica lift herself out of the pool instead of taking the stairs. He could barely keep from fantasizing. "Hey- DK told me that since he's... being Daddy of the year that I'm supposed to be your chauffer for school."

She had to admit that the thought had crossed her mind, that she was without ride to school... and a senior on the bus? "Keep dreaming, Echolls." She said with a sideways smile. "I go to school a lot more often than you do."

Logan gave her a smile and watched her leave before dunking under water and trying to relax.
