Sorry it took a while to update, but I had issues with starting this chapter. But then I just bought myself a laptop, and that's when I decided to go ahead and write this chapter. I hope you like it anyway.
--------------------------
Later that night when I got home from Weevil's, I laid on my bed and put on my headphones. I still couldn't think about anything else but Logan. That's when I came to the realization that I was wasting to much time trying to find him. Who the hell knew what they were doing to him. I was going to have to face the Fitzpatricks tomorrow. I had to face my fears and I had to do it now. No more trying to avoid it. That was the old Veronica Mars. The Marshmallow. I need to become Veronica Mars 3.0. Fearless. I need to be able to face all my fears. And if I can't do it for me, then I at least have to do it for Logan. I have to find out why he was taken in the first place. The only thing I do know is that Cassidy and Hannah were the last one's to see him. Well unless you want to include Liam Fitzpatrick, but then again that's kind of obvious. I at least know what he's capable of. Cassidy I know for a fact would never do something like this. Kidnaping I mean. Especially one of his best friends. But Hannah, well I honestly don't know her. The only thing she has going for her is that her father is Dr. Griffith, and that is definitely not a good thing. Might as well put a stamp on her forehead that says she did it. And I guess the fact that she was dating Logan when this happened. I need to find out more about her and more about the Fitzpatricks.
Finally after all that thinking, I was able to get a few hours sleep in.
-------------------
when I got up that morning, I decided to start my day off by visiting the Cigar store again. See if Dr. Griffith shows up again or to see if I can find anything suspicious. This time I pulled up in back of the store and watched to see if anyone made there way in or out of the back door. So far no one has.
After scoping the place out for a few hours and not finding anything, I decide to drive back around to the front and do some asking around. I had nothing else to lose and no other leads. I mean I know this place isn't really gonna help me find out anything important. Unless he's smuggling drugs to local PCHers as well.
I pull into a parking spot and get out of the car. I walk into the store and like before, I start looking around. After watching everyone and liking the smell of Vanilla cigars, I still didn't see anything out of the ordinary. But then again, it is the main part of the store. If anything was going on, it would be behind doors. No one came up to help me. So I went up to the guy at the counter, and luckily he didn't recognize me.
"Hi. Can I help you?" The guy gives me a friendly smile.
I smile back. "Hi. Yes. My father Dr. Griffith couldn't make it down here to pick up his order, so he asked me to do it. I'm his daughter. Hannah." Crossing my fingers hoping this works.
"Right, Hannah. It's nice to meet you. Let me check in back." He turns around and goes into the back room.
Please let this work. I don't need to get caught. This could ruin my plan.
A few minutes later and the guy walks out with a big brown paper bag. "Here you go. I'll just put it on your dads tab."
"Thank you so much!" I gush with relief that it actually worked. Though I do turn around and leave as quickly as I can. When I got in the car and looked in the rear view mirror, I could see Dr. Griffith just pull up into a spot. I quickly turned on the car and left without being spotted.
----------------------
In the comfort of my own home, I was finally able to see what was inside the bag. After placing everything on the table, I began to study them and wonder what each thing meant. There was enough white powder to supply for the whole PCHer crew and there families. There was also money. Lot's of it. I decided to call Weevil over and see if he could help me.
Ding Dong
I open the door and find Weevil on my door step. "Well it took you long enough. What, did you only do about a hundred to get here? I called you five minutes ago." I tease him as I let him inside.
"You know me I don't like to do anything less than a 100." Weevil answers as he looks around the house.
"Don't worry my dad's out of town. Your safe."
"Just wanted to make sure theirs no rifle being pointed at my head. There's no red dot on my forehead now is there?"
"Is that what that was? I thought you were trying to go Indian on me. But wait, those are only the woman. Is there something your not telling me?"
"Haha V. So I'm here. What is it you need. Or is it just to make jokes at my expense? And DAMN girl! Where did you get all the drugs? Is there something your not telling me?"
"It so happens that this all belongs to Dr. Griffith. Now I need to know what he's doing with it. What's all the money for?"
"My guess is that this all has to do with the Fitzpatricks. He can't be doing all of this on his own, and we know that their involved in drugs."
"Yea that's what I thought. When I was at Dr. Griffith's house, he had a stash of powder hidden in his bathroom. So maybe he keeps some for himself, and sells the rest."
"Looks that way to me. Now my question to you, is what are you going to do about it?" He gives me the knowing look.
"Why does everyone think they know what I'm thinking? Am I that predictable?" I tilt my head to the side and glance at him innocently.
"Nice try V, but that head tilt doesn't work on me remember?"
"What head tilt?" I lift my head up and flip my hair over my shoulder and bat my eyelashes. Weevil just laughs.
"I already said I'd help you. I don't know why your trying to get on my good side.
My smile grows wider. "Maybe I'm just showing you how much I own you."
Just then my cell phone goes off. Jumping off the chair to get it out of my back pocket, I pray it's Logan and he can tell me where he is. But looking at the screen, my face falls. It's not him. But then my face perks up again as I turn the phone on.
"Hey Wallace."
"Whatcha doin?"
My jaw drops open. "Hey! That's my line." I pretend to get offended. Wallace just chuckles.
"Seriously. What's going on? Why aren't you in school. And on a Friday no less."
"I have better things to do with my time than to be ostracized at school."
"Your looking for Logan Echolls aren't you?" He sounded like a smart ass know it all.
"Is this why you called? To tease me? Because I could just hang up."
"I want to help."
"No Wallace. I don't want you involved in this one. It could be dangerous."
"Oh I see how it is. You won't involve me, but you would involve Weevil? You think just because he's an ex PCHer that you'll be safer? I thought we were a team Veronica. We were like peanut butter and chocolate. And you know how good chocolate goes with Peanut butter."
I take the phone away from my ear and look at it.
"What? Did your cell phone bite you in the ear?" Weevil asks me.
I put the phone back up to my ear and ignore Weevil's comment.
"Ok first of all, I'm going to ignore the peanut butter and chocolate comment, because we all know that ice cream and magic shell are much better. And second of all, how did you know I was with Weevil."
Silence on the other end of the line.
Knock Knock
Looking at Weevil, he shrugs his shoulders. So I shrug mine and walk over to the door. "Wallace don't tell me you ordered me some peanut butter and chocolate covered treats. That's so sweet of you."
I open the door, and Wallace is smiling back at me. "Nah. I came here to get some snicker doodles. I love me some snicker doodles." He hangs up the phone and I roll my eyes. He walks into the house, and I shut the door behind him and hang up my phone.
"If I didn't know any better Veronica, I would say you were having a party without me. And here I thought I was your BFF." Wallace says as his eyes land on the powdered substance sitting on the kitchen table.
"You caught me Wallace. Weevil and I were gonna have a huge kegger and not invite you. Because I have nothing better to do. This all belongs to Dr. Griffith and the Fitzpatricks."
"Veronica knows no boundaries huh? You don't mess around do you? I should know better by this point. Ok Veronica, what's the plan?"
"Were working on one now. We need to find out where Logan is, and then we need to rescue him. The only thing I can think of is going back to the River Stix. Maybe my buddy Danny Boyd would still be happy to see me.'" Then I turn to Weevil. "Or then again, maybe we could get Molly Fitzpatrick involved. Even though she was the one who tattled on me."
Weevil thinks about this. "I dunno. What I do know is that she was involved with Felix just before he died. So maybe if we could tell her this has to do with Felix, then maybe she could help. Unless she's like everyone else and believes your boy killed my boy, then we have a problem."
"Alright. So how about you go back to school and work on Molly. Meanwhile, Wallace and I can do some more digging. You can meet us back here once you find our some information."
------------------------
A half hour later
"Do you think this will be enough information, or should I get Mac to help us out?" I mostly ponder out loud.
"You tell me. You're the expert. I mean what we have here isn't a lot. Just mostly things like speeding tickets, and the things you already knew. I don't think this is going to be enough information."
"You right Wallace. Let me call Mac."
"Hello?
"Hey Mac. It's me, Veronica. You busy."
"Well, that depends. See I'm actually at school trying to learn something important. You should be here as well, but I haven't seen you all day."
"Yea well, I have more important things to do. So are you up for some spying and digging around for information, or do I have to twist your arm?"
"You know me Veronica, I'm always up to helping you find the bad guys, and getting paid in the process."
"Great. I need you to meet me at my house."
I hang up the phone and smile. "I love my friends. Always there when I need them."
"That's because you own us. You walk around with this long ass whip, and every time we get out of line or take a break, you whip us back into line."
"Ahh, my plan is going smoothly. Lilly would he so proud."
Ding Dong
"Point proven. Here's your other slave rat. Right on schedule."
I laugh as I walk over to the door and let Weevil and Molly inside.
"Wow Weevil. Your powers of persuasion are astonishing. What would I ever do without you. Hi Molly. Welcome to my humble abode. Need a drink or anything?"
"I'm fine. Let's just get this over with. What is it you need to know."
"Well for starters, I'd like to know what your loving family did to Logan. And then, I would like to know where they took him, and what they plan to do with him."
"Fine. I'll tell you what I know. My family and Dr. Griffith had a major plan in the works going on. Some how, Logan found out about it. So they took him. They took him to a cottage my Uncle owns out in the woods. I don't know where it is. I've only been there once. Let's just say it's a place where all the business deals go down."
"Can you tell us where this cottage is? Is it still in Neptune?"
"I can tell you that it's a half hour away from our house. We take the highway and get off of Exit 52 and take a left."
"And he's there now? You know this for a fact?" Molly shakes her head yes.
"Thanks Molly." I grab my car keys and just about run out the door.
"Whoa there Mars. Slow down. There are other's here to help you." As Weevil says that, I open to door and practically run over Mac who had her hand raised to knock on the door.
"Oh!" Mac yells out in surprise. "I guess I got here just in time. Where are we off to now?"
I pull Mac inside and close the door behind me.
"You, and everyone else are staying here. I'm on my way to go get Logan. If you follow me, then that's your problem. But I prefer to do this alone. The less people, the better."
"We'll take my car. It's bigger." Weevil doesn't even consider the option.
"Yea and it's also green. It's too obvious. I'm taking my car." I open the door and walk outside. They follow me over to my car and wordlessly get into my car.
I smile. "I love you guys."
We drop Molly back off at school, and then we head towards to cabin in the woods that are hopefully holding Logan.
-------------------------
As for the Indian comment, I couldn't remember if it was Indian, or something else. If I'm wrong, I'm sorry and I'll change it.
