Ring, Ring, Ring. No answer.
"Pick up!" Veronica clicked the redial button and held the phone up with her shoulder while starting the ignition.
"Maybe you should let me drive." Mark suggested, "That way you can keep dialing."
"Yeah." Veronica opened her front door and ran to the passenger seat. Mark came out and walked around the back to get to the drivers seat. Veronica sat down and handed him the keys.
Ring, Ring, Ring. No answer.
"Damnit Logan!" Tears began to flow from Veronica's eyes. He's going to die, or get hurt and it's my fault. She clicked redial again and put the phone up to her ear.
"Where am I supposed to be driving to?" Mark questioned, driving aimlessly as Veronica tried to get a hold of Logan.
"Make a right two blocks up." Veronica pointed to the street and continued dialing Logan's number.
Ring, Ring, Ring. No answer.
Veronica was getting sick of his answering machine. She was getting sick of his inspirational message and she was getting sick of not knowing where he was. Most of all she scared. Scared about what kind of trouble he was in, scared that she wouldn't be able to save him like he had saved her many times.
"It's here." Veronica told Mark to pull over into the outside parking area of the Neptune Grand.
Veronica opened the door and started running towards the entrance of the building without shutting it. Mark hopped out and shut her door before following her in. They ended up and the elevator waiting area and Veronica frantically pushed the up button.
Mark didn't know what to say. He didn't really know her and it didn't seem to like the right time to throw out sayings like 'he's going to be fine' or 'don't worry I'm sure he's safe.' Only because he knew what Laura was capable of, and he didn't want to get her hopes up.
The elevator doors finally opened and Veronica practically flew in. When they were both in Veronica clicked the button for his floor and up they went. The ride up felt incredibly long and Mark could see Veronica was getting anxious. The doors finally opened for their floor and Veronica ran out. She went up to Logan and Duncan's place and started pounding on the door.
They waited as no one answered the door. Veronica kept pounding, harder each time her fist hit the wood. Finally they heard the sound of the lock turning and Veronica let out a breath of relief.
The door swung open to reveal Duncan. She pushed past him and ran towards Logan's room. When she opened the door no one was there. The tears started forming in her eyes again. She searched every room, knowing in her heart that he wasn't there.
"What's wrong Veronica?" Duncan finally said.
"Logan." Veronica took a deep breath, "Where is he?"
"I have no idea, I just got home from visiting my parents this afternoon." Duncan had a sincere look on his face.
"He's with a killer, I've got to find him." Veronica didn't leave room for explanations, she just ran out the door and towards the elevator. Duncan looked towards Mark and all Mark could do was shrug.
"Who are you?" Duncan questioned.
"The source of her information." Mark left Duncan standing in the doorway.
Duncan grabbed a pair of shoes that were sitting in the front hallway, closed the door and joined them near the elevators.
"What are you doing?" Veronica asked.
"I'm coming to find Logan." Duncan smiled as he slipped one of the shoes onto his foot.
That's how the search team became three.

"Doesn't this classify as trespassing." Mark asked Veronica as they ducked under the side window of Laura's house.
Veronica decided that her and Mark would look through the windows to see if they could see anything. Duncan waited in the car in case they went in or came out of the house.
"Let's go in then." Veronica said as she pushed the screen of the window inside the house.
"Your solution to trespassing, is to trespass more?" Mark questioned, laughing a little.
"Boost please?" Mark lifted Veronica into the window and she wiggled her way through. She fell onto the floor and made a loud crash. Crap. She quickly got up, hoping that no one in the house heard the crashing. She opened the window more so that Mark could fit in.
When he got in they peaked around the room they were currently in. Nothing. It looked like an office. She looked around at the photos. It was pictures of Laura with two adults that didn't look like her. She said that she threw that party while her parents were in Berlin. Her mom died and her fathers a killer, she must have been adopted.
Veronica peeked out the door and into the hallway. "It's clear let's go."
They walked into the hallway and peeked into every room as they went along. When they found that no one was downstairs they took the stairs up to the second level. They checked the adopted parents bedroom, the bathroom, the guest bedroom and what appeared to be a computer room before they go to Laura's room.
"You fir-" Veronica was interrupted by her very loud cell phone. She pressed the talk button quickly without even looking the screen. She hoped that it was Logan so she walked away to talk so that if anyone was in Laura's room they wouldn't hear her. Though with the clatter and the cell phone ringing they probably already had.
"Logan?" She questioned eagerly.
"No Skankezoid it's just me." Dick's voice was a bit comforting, only because he might know where Logan is.
"It's okay, no one's in there." Mark called from Laura's room.
"Who was that?" Dick asked as Veronica walked back towards the empty room.
"A friend, he's helping me look for Logan." She stepped into Laura's room, "Do you know where he is?"
"He mentioned something about the movies or the beach or some shit like that."
"Dick, meet us at the beach." Veronica began to feel hope, she couldn't kill him in a public place, "You can help us find Logan."
"What makes you think I want to help you?"
"I told Laura you cry when we have sex, maybe the other single girls of Neptune would like to know that little tidbit as well." Veronica smiled to herself.
"What the-. Fine whatever I'll be there."
--
"Duncan and Mark, check over by the water. Maybe he took her surfing or something." Veronica instructed them and they listened.
"What about me?" Dick asked, "You forced me out there and I don't even get a duty."
"Check over by the playground, I'll check the restaurants." Veronica ran over to the first boardwalk restaurant she could see.
--
"I've got to tinkle." Laura said smiling as she got up from her seat.
Logan nodded and looked out the window. He saw Dick walking towards the parkette. "I'm going to go say hello to Dick, I have to ask him something."
"Sure, I'll see you in a minute then." She gave him a peck on the cheek and walked to the bathroom. She took her purse but left her coat on the chair. Logan left his sweater on the table, not realizing that his cell phone was in the pocket.
He walked out the front of the restaurant and ran to catch up with Dick.
--
Veronica walked into a restaurant called 'Neptune's Eatery.' She looked in but didn't see Laura or Logan. She was about to walk out when something caught her eye.
Logan's sweater was sitting on top of one of the tables. She walked over to the table and lifted the sweater. His cell phone fell out of one of the pockets and she lifted it out only to find that it was dead. She shoved it in her pocket and looked all around the restaurant. The washroom, he must be in the washroom.
She ran to the washrooms and opened the one that had 'Men' on the door. "Logan?" Veronica walked in to find a couple of guys washing there hands and peeing in urinals.
"Logan?" She looked to see if there were any feet showing under the stalls when a man finally spoke up.
"Get out of here lady, can't you read?" Veronica followed instructions and figured that Logan wasn't in there because he would've answered her. She stood in front of the bathroom area and looked at the door that said 'Women."
He wouldn't be in there, would he? She opened the door and starting calling his names. She got a few huffs from girls that were in the stalls but no Logan. She picked up her cell phone and dialed Dick's number. No answer it must be off.
Next she called Duncan's, and he answered.
"Did you find him?" She questioned eagerly.
"Nope, did you?" He asked back.
"I found his sweater and his cell phone but I couldn't find him or Laura. Maybe she already hurt him, what if he's dead? Duncan we have to find him."
Before Duncan could reply one of the stalls in the bathroom opened. Veronica looked into the mirror and saw the face of a killer staring back at her.
"Hey Veronica." Laura's hand was behind her back as she stepped out of the stall. Veronica dropped her phone onto the tiled floor.
Maybe Logan's not the one in Danger.

A/N – Review like you did last chapter!
Teasers - The tables have turned, Veronica is in danger. Logan to the rescue? Dick actually being helpful.
1 or 2 more chapters I believe. We'll see once I write them.
