So I decided to type this chapter quick for everyone who wanted a Veronica and Hannah scene. Lol and it turns out, I got a little carried away. I was going to split this chapter up, but I decided against it. So you will get the whole thing. I hope you enjoy it, and let me know what you think. Oh yea, and I also added some Weevil to the mix.
-----------------
As I scanned the hallway for Hannah for the umpteenth time, I ran into Dick in the hallway.
"Hey watch it! Oh hey Veronica. Next time you want to rub up on me, don't tackle me in the process." Dick retorts from his position on the ground as he lay on top of me.
"Right. That's why you're on top of me right? Cuz I could really knock you over. And get off me, you're crushing me." I try to push him off, but he weighs more than I do.
"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't realize you don't like being on the bottom. Does that mean you like it better being on the top cow girl?" Dick breathes in my ear, and the stench is overwhelming.
Trying not to gag, I try again to push him off me. Instead he just grinds his hips into my stomach causing me to start gagging. "Get off me!"
Instead he starts kissing my neck. Looking around for help, I notice most are walking by like nothing is happening, and the rest are staring in shock. I can hear them whispering. As if Dick and I would ever be more than enemies.
"Ewe Dick! Seriously. Get off of me!" I manage to shove my palm up Dick's nose. Immediately the blood starts flowing down his face and onto mine. He screamed like a little girl, but he did finally jump off me. I can hear everyone around us laughing. Getting up, I wipe his blood off of me as he runs for the nearest bathroom cursing my name.
"Are you ok?" I turn around and notice Mac and Cassidy walking towards me.
"Yea I'm ok now. Nothing like breaking someone's nose to get their attention."
"Yea well I'm glad someone finally did it. I just wish it was me." Beaver says.
"Look Beav, I need you're help. Do you know where Hannah lives?"
"Uh, yea. Actually I do. Have you talked to her yet?"
"Not yet. Which is why after school I need you to show me where she lives."
"No problem. I'll meet you in the parking lot."
"Thanks. You're the best."
----------------------------------------
I met Cassidy out in the parking lot after school. Everyone kept giving me funny looks for the rest of the day. I suppose they all found out about Dick and his mishap.
"Hey Veronica are you ready?" Beaver walks up to me with Mac.
"Are you too ever separated anymore?" I ask trying not to laugh. They look shyly at each other. And at the same time say, "Nope."
Now I really laugh. "Yea I'm ready. I'll just follow you there."
We get into our cars and I follow him to Hannah's house. Of course it's in the rich section. Should have known better. Why would Logan settle for anything less?
As soon as we pull up in front of Hannah's house, I wave good-bye to my friends. Then I get out of the car and walk up to the porch. Just as I'm about to knock on the door, it flies open.
Startled, I let out a soft noise and pull back. The person stops short and takes a good look at me. As I get a good look at him, my jaw drops open.
"Dr. Griffith?" He looks as if he recognizes me, but can't place it.
"Can I help you?" Maybe he doesn't recognize me. Good cuz I think it would be bad if he did.
I smile. "I'm supposed to meet Hannah. We have a school project to work on, and she said we could do it here."
"She's not here yet."
"I guess I beat her here. Shoot. What am I supposed to do now?" I look upset.
"I was just on my way out the door, but why don't you come in and wait in the living room."
I give him a big relieved smile. "Thank you so much. That would be great."
He opens the door wider to let me through. As soon as I am through, he closes to door. Leaving me alone in the house.
Now to look around. So that's why Logan was so interested in Hannah. I didn't even know Dr. Griffith had a daughter. Just like Logan to use someone for his own purpose.
I walked into the living room and over to the phone. Searching through the call records, I realize most of them are from the Fitzpatricks and The River Stix. Interesting. I look around the rest of the house. Not finding anything useful, I check out the bathroom. There's all the usual crap you would find in any normal household, except for what looks like white powdered sustenance in a container.
Guess he really was doing more than just buying cigars. Just as I'm about to put the stuff back, I hear the front door open and close. I put the container back where I found it, and walk out into the hallway and stop in front of Hannah.
"Holy shit!" She yells out in surprise as she jumps a mile in the air and drops her bag on the floor. She then brings her hand up to her chest as if to slow down her heart beat. "Who the hell are you?" She sounds defensive. And she has every right to be.
"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you. You're dad let me in."
"Oh." She seemed to be pulling herself together. "Right." She walks into the living room and sits down, so I follow her.
"I don't want to bother you, but I just had a few questions for you. My name is Veronica, and I'm here to find out about Logan Echolls."
Hannah frowns? "What's there to know? He was just using me."
"What do you mean using you? What did he do?"
"Not like I know you or anything, but he stood me up. We were supposed to hang out last night. The last night before my dad came home." Hannah looks at me closely.
"Wait a minute. You're the Veronica everyone talks about right? The one who solves cases and stuff right?"
I try not to twitch. "Yea that's me."
"So why do you need to know about Logan. He's not like missing is he?"
"Just tell me what happened the last time you were together." I try to get straight to the point. It's not like I have a lot of time to find out what happened and then find Logan.
"Ok I'm only telling you this because if Logan's in trouble, I want to help out. The last time we were together was a few days ago. I met up with him and his friend at the beach after they went surfing. Then we went back to Logan's house so they could play some video games. After that, we came back to my house. My father was away on business, so we had the whole house to ourselves. We were laying on the couch 'watching movies'. Then he went home."
I try not to cringe from that last line. It doesn't help that every second I keep hearing him say he loves me. But I do know that she's keeping something from me. Like for starters, the drugs and the Fitzpatricks.
"That's all that happened? Nothing else. Like say, oh I don't know, the Fitzpatricks?"
Hannah looks shocked. "How do you know the Fitzpatricks?"
"I did some research on your father a while back. Seems he saved a certain someone's life and now he's knee deep in the Fitzpatricks shit."
Hannah shakes her head. "It's not like that. There like family. There the only friends my dad has. You don't know what you're talking about." Hannah starts to get defensive.
"Whoa there killer. Slow down. No need to get defensive. I'm just trying to figure out what happened to Logan. Nothing else happened that night?"
"Well...we did have a talk. It seems Logan and daddy know each other. Something about Logan being accused of murder and my dad being a witness. Anyway, in the middle of one of the movies, Liam Fitzpatrick comes over. I guess he freaked seeing me making out with some guy. He's way protective like that."
Now I'm sitting on the edge of my seat. This is starting to get interesting. I know personally how friendly Liam can be. I shiver at the memory of the last time I saw him. "So what happened? What did he do?"
Mmm. Logan is a really great kisser. Just as his hand starts moving up my bare back, sending chills up and down my spine, I hear a commotion.
"What the fuck is going on?" Logan stops kissing me and I crane my neck to see who yelled like that? It's Liam. Ruining a perfect moment. Logan starts to pull away, and sits up.
I sit up, and sigh as well. I straighten my shirt and look over at Liam.
"Liam what the hell? What are you doing here?"
"I came to pick something up. And it's a damn good thing I did. Who the hell is that on top of you?"
I sigh again. "Logan this is Liam. Liam this is Logan." I look over at Logan, and he seems nervous, even though he tries to play it cool.
Liam takes a step closer. "Don't I know you?"
Logan shakes his head.
"Yea. You're that punk who barged into my bar waving your gun around like a mad man. I remember you and that bitch I almost tattooed." He looks over at Hannah. "Want me to get rid of him for ya?"
"No. Were fine where we are. Why don't you just get what you came for, and leave us alone."
Liam shakes his head no. "Forget it. He's coming with me." He walks over to Logan and grabs him by the back of his shirt. He lifts him up off the couch and drags him over to the door. Logan tries to fight him off, but it's no use. Hannah follows close behind yelling the whole way. Liam opens the front door and slams it in Logan's face. Hannah and Liam continue to argue until she storms off to her room and slams the door.
Slowly I digest everything she just said. "So, Liam was the last person to see Logan?"
Hannah shrugs. "I guess so. I mean unless his parents saw him last." She really doesn't know anything does she? Well that's just great! What am I supposed to do now?
I close my eyes. Guess there's only one more thing left to do. And that's to pay the Fitzpatricks another visit. But this time, I'm going to have help.
I open my eyes. "Thanks Hannah. That really helps me. Now hopefully I'll be a step closer in finding Logan. If you remember anything, please find me in school."
I get up getting ready leave.
"Anything I can do to help. I really like him. He's not like most guys."
I snort.
I walk over to the door and say good-bye to Hannah as I walk back to my car.
----------------------
I pull up in front of a familiar house. I get out of the car and walk up to the door and ring the door bell.
The door opens. "Mija! Oh Veronica! It's so good to see you again!" I'm immediately enveloped into a bone crushing hug. I smile and hug back. She pulls back so I'm at arms length with her hands still on my elbows. "Come in. Come in."
She escorts me inside and over to the table. She brings over some fresh baked cookies and some milk. "How are you dear? It's been so long. Why don't you visit more often. I've missed seeing you hang out with Eli."
I smile warmly at the older woman. "I'm sorry Mrs. Navarro. I've just been really busy. But I still hang out with Weevil during school."
"Good, good." She smiles at me.
"So where are you working now? I hope since the Echolls mansion burned down that you haven't been out of work." I frown. Why did I never think about this before?
"No need to worry about me chica, I found work. I now take care of the Sinclair household." I try not to laugh. So now she takes care of Madison.
I smile. "I'm glad." The front door opens. "Abuela I'm home." Looking over, I see Weevil walk in through the door. He stops short when he sees me. Then he continues to walk over to his abuela and kiss her on the cheek.
"Isn't it wonderful how Veronica came over to surprise us? It's so great to see her again." She whacks Weevil on the arm, and he pretends to cringe. "Why don't you bring more mujer (woman) amigas around the house? Instead of always bringing those bikers around. You need some well mannered amigos who will keep you out of trouble."
I try not to laugh. "Yea Paco, why don't you have more woman friends to hang out with?" I tease.
"Haha. Very funny V. What is it you want?" He sounds rude, even know I can tell he's happy I stopped by. His grandma smacks him on the arm again.
"Ow!" Weevil feigns hurt again. "That's no way to treat a lady. Now why don't you take this conversation outside."
Weevil does the head nod towards the door. I get up and follow him outside. He closes the door, and we sit down on the bench together.
"Miss me?" I nudge his shoulder.
"What is it V? I know you didn't come here just to charm my grandmother. I know you want something. So the sooner you spill, the sooner you can leave."
"Ouch. And here I thought you actually liked me." He gives me the hard stare.
"Alright if you insist. I need you to help me get in with the Fitzpatricks."
Weevil is so shocked he practically choked on his spit. "You want me to what? Didn't I tell you about these guys already? There not people you want to mess with."
"I know that. We've already had the pleasure to meet. But Logan's missing, and I think they have something to do with it. I need your help. This isn't something I can do on my own, but if I have to, I will."
Weevil thinks long and hard about this. He knows I'm not going to back down from this. Sighing, he finally gives in. "Alright. But this is it. I get you in and out, and no more. I don't want you to have anything else to do with them you hear me?"
"Thanks Weevil you're the best."
"Now get out of here before I change my mind."
"Tell your grandma I said it was nice seeing her again. And I'll be back for some more cookies."
