Spoilers: Slight for 2:22 I just snuck something in… cuz I'm a sneaky bastard
A/N: It occurred to me that I was taking the Rob-Thomas route, pulling you along, dropping a bomb then going on hiatus. So I've decided to write this chapter as the end of the story. Thank you to all who reviewed. Happy Mother's Day to all my readers who have children! I know that without you guys, all our lives would be meaningless. Here's my finale for Noise From The Basement…
Noise From The Basement
Chapter Seven: The End
'My name is Tiassale Killodan. Billy Killodan was my father.' Those words made Veronica shiver in her bindings. She had seen the effects fuck-ups had on their children, Logan and Cassidy were prime examples. And even after Cassidy had confessed to the bus crash, it still amazed her how someone could kill someone so innocent as a teenager, someone who was just caught in the crossfire. Veronica closed her eyes and took a deep breath to calm her self while Tiassale watched her quizzically.
Tiassale never thought Veronica to be so quiet. She always saw her as a screamer, someone to beg for mercy. Someone who stuck his or her nose where it sometimes didn't belong.
While she continued to look the tiny blonde one down, a gunshot echoed inside the warehouse. She turned around to see one Logan Echolls holding a gun trained on the back of her head.
"Move away from Veronica." He said forcefully cocking the gun to the side.
Tiassale glanced at Veronica, who had tears of joy streaming down her face, and moved away. When she ran out of the door, Wallace Fennel and Leo D'Amato caught her forcefully.
"Now Miss Killodan, where on earth do you think you're going?" Leo asked taking a pair of handcuffs from his back pocket. He snapped them on and led her to his car. Once she was secure, he turned to face Wallace. Now, in the doorway, stood Logan and Veronica, Logan holding Veronica tightly to his chest. The bindings had left minor bruises which would fade in a few days. They stood in silence until Veronica spoke.
"How did you find me?"
Logan kissed the top of her head. "I went to the Hut to pick you up for a secret rendezvous at the beach when I saw that nut job grab you and knock you out. As it so happens, Leo was exiting from the movie store across the street. I remembered him from the Total Eclipse of the Heart dance last year and yelled out to him. I told him what happened and he and I followed the car. Once we arrived I called Wallace for back-up and we waited outside and taped that psycho muttering what she had done and how she planned to kill you. I – We wanted to make sure you were awake and okay before we took action."
Veronica stared at the three of them in awe, her mouth hanging open. Logan used his index finger and shut it softly.
"Don't keep your mouth open, Sugarpuss, you'll catch flies.
Veronica shot him a quick glare. Leo noticed the tension forming and quickly interrupted the dueling duo.
"Well, I'm gonna get going. Wallace, give 'em a ride to the Hut so they can get their cars. I'm gonna drop this murderer off to Lamb along with the confession. Maybe he won't act like such an ass."
Wallace chuckled slightly
"I doubt that. See you Leo."
"Thank you, Leo." Veronica chimed in.
"Thanks man." Logan added
"No problem guys. See you around." And with that, Leo drove off and brought Tiassale to the Sheriff's department. Wallace led Veronica and Logan to his mom's car and dropped them off at the Hut. Once he drove away, Veronica leaned up and gave Logan a sweet kiss on the lips.
"You're my hero." She swooned in a Southern belle accent and Logan just laughed.
