Jealousy. Strong feelings of envy towards another person. It is the source of most crime and violence. We all have felt jealous for one reason or another…

Veronica picked up her phone and began to dial Duncan's number. No Answer.
She kept trying until at 10:30pm he picked up.
"Hello?" She said with a worried voice.
"Hey Veronica, what's wrong?" He replied with a nonchalant voice.
"Where the hell have you been?" Veronica said angrily. "And why haven't you called?"
"Sorry, I've been visiting my parents."
"You could've called, I've been worried."
"I know, I'm sorry." Duncan said sincerely "I've got to go, I'll call you later."
Without even letting her say good-bye, he hung up the phone. What the hell is going on?

"Veronica, over here!" Mac called at lunchtime. "I saved you a seat."
Veronica walked slowly towards Macs table. She had been trying to call Duncan to see where he was. Once again he wasn't at school. Before she sat down, she spotted Logan walking towards the garbage can to throw something out. "I'll be right back." Veronica ran up to him.
"Hey." Veronica said with a bit of sadness in her voice.
"To what do I owe this visit?" Logan said smirking.
"What's gotten into Duncan?" She jumped straight into it.
"What are you talking about?"
"He's never at school, he hardly answers the phone, and he's acting different. You're his best friend, and you know something."
"I honestly don't know anything."
"Whatever." Veronica wasn't acting like herself, but she was angry and upset. She began to walk away.
"But Veronica, if I did know anything I'd tell you." Logan yelled to her as she walked away.
He must know something; he's not being a jackass.

For the next couple of days Veronica didn't hear from Duncan. She decided to just go on investigating Maria's case, she didn't want to become the crazy girlfriend who obsesses over nothing.
"Hey Buddy." Veronica said as she walked up to Wallace in the hallway.
"Hey V, long time no talk." Wallace replied smiling.
"You have your basketball games, I have my sleuthing."
"Yeah." Wallace said laughing, "So what do you need?"
"How do you know I need something?" Veronica questioned.
"That look on your face, the 'Wallace I'm going to ask you to do something that's sneaky and risky'."
"I don't have a face!"
"Whatever you say."
"I don't have a face, but I do have a favor."
"Told you!"
"You just guessed, I didn't give you a face!"
"Okay fine, what do you need?"
"I need you to get me Robert Davison's files."
"Can I ask why?"
"Can I tell you later?"
"Sure V, I'll have the files for you after school."
"Thank you so much Wallace!"

Okay I've got his Criminal records, his files, and his hard-drive. I think I can get somewhere with all of this.
Veronica began searching through his school files. Besides a couple of detentions he was clean. She got out the criminal records next, but like his school files they were clean. Her last chance was the hard-drive. Veronica slipped the disk into her laptop. The screensaver came up and it was Billy and Maria at the fall formal. She began to look through the files. At first all she could find was Essays, Projects, a few poems for Maria and a ton of pictures. She looked for a while until she spotted a file.
How could I have missed this?
The file was in a folder named "BP." Inside the folder was one document. It was named 'To RD'
'RD,
It starts tomorrow at noon. You know what could happen, be prepared. You know what to do just in case.
-EN'
"This must have been sent through e-mail, and saved in a separate document. The questions are when was this sent, where is he going, what's going to happen and who's EN." Veronica thought to herself.
She thought about the initials EN for a long while. "Of course."

Veronica got to school extra early to investigate. She waited in the parking lot until the person she needed finally got there.
"So Weevil, where's Bobby?"
"Who the hell is Bobby, and why would I know where he is?"
"He got an e-mail signed with the initials 'EN"."
"And I'm the only person with those initials?"
"You're a trouble maker, and someone has gone missing. That's why I came to you first."
"I don't know who your boy is, so lay off me."
Weevil walked away angry and Veronica stood there in awe. I think he's lying, but if he's not then who is EN.

Veronica left period 4 early, so she sat at the usual lunch table and waited for everyone to come. She was the only one out, so it was quiet. After a few minutes she heard a noise. She turned around to see Logan and Laura walking together towards the lunch area. They must not have seen her because they began kissing. Veronicas mind went blank.
Cool down Veronica, why do you care. She couldn't cool down, for some reason she because more angry. Snap out of it.
Mac and Wallace finally came out for lunch. Veronica sat quiet while they got their lunches out and took a seat.
"Hey Veronica!" Wallace said happily.
"Hey guys." Veronica tried her best to sound normal and not upset at all. "I think I'm going to go see if Duncan is home. I want to make sure he's feeling okay."
"Sure, maybe we can hang after school or something." Mac said supportively.
"Yeah, I'll call you guys."
Veronica walked towards her Le Baron and got in without ever looking back. Once again she drove to the Neptune Grand got on the elevator and made her way up. When she got to the floor she stood in the hallway for a few minutes. He's not going to be here, I don't know why I bothered coming.
Veronica contemplated turning back, but she decided that since she was already there that she would go and knock. She turned the doorknob first just in case it was open. To her surprise it was.
She walked in without saying anything; she heard something from another room. She walked slowly to the room, and opened the door. "Oh my god."

A/N- It was a bit rushed, but I really wanted to get through this chapter so I could get on to the next ones. In the next chapter you find out what was going on with Duncan. You also get a lot more LoVe! I know, I hate Laura too. Sure I didn't have to make them get together, but it adds more drama. It will get better! Please Review, the more you review, the sooner I update
