When I got to school the next morning, he wasn't there. No one has seen him. Not even Dick Casablancas who I questioned during lunch. I sat down across from him at the lunch table.
"Dick!" I put on a happy smile and slightly tilt my head to the side.
"Trailer trash!" Dick retorts back in the same tone. I give him the glaring stare. He reciprocates by saying, "Veronica."
I smile again. "How are ya Dick?" As I say his name, I whack him on his arm. He pretends to brush it off.
"What is it you want now? Can't you see I'm busy?" By busy he meant having Gia on his lap.
"Oh don't worry. This won't take long. Then you can go back to whoring it with Gia. No offense Gia."
"Oh none taken." Gia says with an oblivious smile.
"Right. Well. Anyway, I just wanted to ask you if you've heard from Logan lately?" I brace myself for what I know is coming next.
"Why Veronica. You still hold a special flame in your heart for Logan?" He asks with happy sarcasm. "Whatever happened to Duncan? It's only been like what, 12 hours, and you're already back to Logan?"
"I think it's great that Veronica wants to move on. I mean you can only mourn for so long after a break up before you want to move on again. And why not Logan? Who wouldn't want to date him? And of course you baby." Gia chimes in with her two cents.
"You're damn right. Were the shit. Were the hottest looking guys in this school. It's only a matter of time before young V over here starts falling for my charm."
Dick? With charm? Oh please :insert finger here:
"Oh Dick, you're so dreamy." I pretend to swoon. "Will you go to the Prom with me?" I bat me eyelashes and pucker my lips as I pretend to wait for his response.
He smiles thinking I'm serious. "Sorry babe, but I only have eyes for my pretty little flower. Right my little buttercup?" Dick and Gia rub noses.
"Hello?" I ask as I wave my arms. "Does Logan ring a bell? You know you're best friend? When was the last time you talked to him?" I try to get him back to the topic at hand.
"Right, Logan. Uh, I dunno like yesterday. Or was it the day before?" Dick seems to be deep in thought.
What does Logan see in him? I mean it's Dick! "Let's try this again. Where was he?"
Dick thinks about this some more. "He was playing video games at his place."
Well that doesn't help me.
"No wait. He was surfing. That's it. He went surfing, then was gonna go home and play video games."
"So he was at Dog Beach when you talked to him last? And it was yesterday, or possibly the day before?"
"Exactly."
I sigh. Getting information from Dick was like pulling teeth. "Well was he with anyone? Or was he by himself?"
"Oh right. Uh, I think Beav was with him. Yea I guess The Beav decided he needed a break from that Mac chic, so he and Logan went surfing. I would have joined them, but you know, I was busy entertaining the lady friend." He nuzzles his face in Gia's neck.
"Thanks Dick. You've been so helpful." The sarcasm oozes from my voice.
"Anytime."
Then Gia and Dick start making out, so I take that as my cue to leave.I guess my next stop is to have a little chat with Cassidy.
------------------------------
I looked all over the school for Cassidy, but I couldn't find him. I decided to pay a visit to Mac.
"How's my favorite computer genius?" I ask as I walk into the room.
"Working on her next big project. How's my favorite detective?" Mac answers without looking at me as I sit down next to her.
"This detective is on a mission."
"Does this mission involve making a profitable website?" She asks with a hopeful look in her eyes as she finally turns towards me.
"Actually, no." Mac's face falls a little as she turns back to her computer.
"But it does involve a certain Cassidy Casablanca." I couldn't help notice the smile that crossed her face that she tried to conceal. I smiled back.
"You haven't seen him today have you?"
"Yea. I did. But he needed to run some errands after school. Then were gonna get some food later. Why? What's going on now?"
"I'll tell you as you run a little errand of your own for me." I hand her my cell phone. "This morning I got a strange phone call from Logan Echolls. I need you to trace the call and see what info you can get. I think something's happened to him. Like he's in trouble."
Mac takes the phone from me. "Yea sure. It should be done in like 5 minutes. So what do you need Cassidy for?"
"Well I had a stimulating conversation with Dick, and he told me that Cassidy and Logan went surfing either yesterday or the day before. I just need to ask him if anything unusual happened."
"Dick huh? I'm sorry. That must have been painful." I laugh. "You have no idea what I had to go through just to get that much information. So anything you have would be gratefully appreciated."
"Just a few more min... aha. Here we go. The call was made from a pay phone at 3:19 this morning. The pay phone was from just outside of Neptune. If you have time, we could drive over to it and see where it is."
"You're the best. Let's go."
-----------------
"This is it. This is where the phone call came from." Turns out the pay phone was attached to the outside of a gas station. A run down looking gas station. The only other buildings around was a car shop on the right, and a little deli shop to the left. The rest was just open road that looked like it led to the middle of the desert.
"Show time." I mumble as I put my hair into pig tails and tie my shirt into a knot just above my belly button. I pull my shorts down a little lower. I pull down the visor and apply my make-up a little heavier than normal. I turn to Mac. "Stay here. If I'm not out in five minutes, then come get me." Mac nods her head as she stares at me in fascination. I smile glad to have her here.
I get out of the car and make my way into the building as I observe my surroundings. As I make my way inside, I immediately notice there's only one guy, and he's behind the counter reading the newspaper's funny section.
"Excuse me?" I ask him with the sexiest voice I can manage. Which wasn't so hard until he revealed himself. He lowered the newspaper and I almost gagged. He was in every sense the kind of hillbilly killer type there is. You know with the beer belly, rotting teeth, and hasn't showered in years kind. Catch my drift now? Good.
Keeping the smile on my face I try again. "Hi. I was wondering if you could help me." He did the slow checking me out look. The kind that start at the legs and stick to the chest. I put my hand next to my boob and wiggle my fingers. He responds by spitting some tobacco juice onto the floor. Then slowly, he finally looks at my face.
"You see my brother and his friends are in trouble with the law. He's on the run from them, and the last call I received, was from the pay phone out front. I really need to talk to him. Is there any chance you saw them." I take out a picture of Logan from my back pocket. I wiggled my ass a little for his benefit hoping that will help him give up some information.
He glances at the photo then goes back to staring at my boobs. Guess Dr. Griffith was right when he said I didn't need to alter them.
"Ain't seen him."
Right. Well, that was, how do you say, helpful? Is that all he knows in his vocabulary?
"Are you sure?" I move the picture lower to his eye level on my chest.
"Look. I said I ain't seen um." This is going nowhere.
"Thanks for you're time. If you remember anything, make sure you call me." I hand him a business card with the number of one of the untraceable phones I have. I turn around and walk out the door trying my hardest no to wiggle my ass. I exit the store and walk over to the pay phone hoping Logan was smart enough to leave some type of clue. I search the phone and the area around it, but I don't see anything. Admitting defeat, I walk back to the car.
"Did it work?" Mac asks excitedly as I take my pig tails out, untie my shirt and hike up my shorts once I got back in the car.
"Not as good as I would have liked it to go. Guess now it's time to have a chat with Cassidy."
