Noise From the Basement
Chapter Six: Heart of Glass
When Principal Clemmons finally got all of the cars off the flagpole 3 days after Veronica and Logan got back together, school was back in session. The first day had gone marvelous, except for a few snide remarks by Dick. Everything was perfect until 6th period.
Logan and Veronica walked hand in hand down the hallway to English with Mrs. Murphy, whose classroom was located in the east hallway. When they neared the hallway, they saw a teacher open a supply closet and a body fell out. The teacher let out a blood-curdling scream and Veronica sprinted past Mrs. Murphy, who heard the commotion, to see who the victim was. Once she reached the body, she fainted at the sight of a dead Kelly Klimor.

When Veronica opened her eyes, she found herself lying on a cot in the nurse's office with Logan sitting beside her, stroking her hair.
"Logan…" she stirred
"Shhh… its okay. I'm here. You took quite a fall back there."
"What happened?" Veronica asked sitting up.
"When you saw the…" Logan cleared his throat "You fainted. I ran up to as fast as I could."
"Thanks." Veronica croaked. Then she noticed that Kelly's boyfriend Rob was sitting on a cot across the room, his hands bandaged, staring at a wall. She whispered to Logan, "What happened to Rob?"
"When he saw his girlfriend's body he lost it and punched a wall. They had to sedate him and now he's waiting to go home. Speaking of home, Clemmons called your dad. He was going to have your dad come get you but he insisted that I wait till you wait up and you and I are excused from tomorrow. I'm thinking that's your dad's way of saying he likes me now and approves of our relationship." Logan said softly.
Just then, the school nurse came in and told Rob that his mother was here to get him. Veronica got up and went to stop him before her left.
"Hey Rob, its me, Veronica Mars. I saw you sometime last week when I went to talk to Kelly. I just wanted to tell you I'm going to find out who did this to her and I'm gonna make them pay." Rob gave her a grateful smile and a nod and walked out to his mother waiting in the hallway.
"Can we go home now? I have something I need to do."

Once Veronica and Logan reached the apartment building, she immediately went to her room and turned on her laptop.
"Uh Sugarpuss? Shouldn't you be resting?" Logan said pulling up a chair next to her desk.
"I will. I just need to check something out first."
She loaded the PryinEyez homepage and logged in. She then put "Billy Killodan" through the servers. It brought up his file containing the names of all the times he had restraining orders filed, all the arrests, divorces and then when she scrolled up to the top, she reread his basic information and found something shocking that she didn't notice before.
