"So Richard, can you explain to me what happened last night?" Sheriff Lamb walked around the interrogation room, before sitting down across from Dick.
"Dude! I already told you that I wasn't in the bathroom when it happened." Dick was bored with all of these questions.
"Okay, tell me again what happened when you left the restroom." Sheriff began tapping his fingers against the wood of the table. "And don't call me Dude."
"Okay man, it was like this."
Dick ran outside and told the cashier at the counter to do something. "Dude, can you call some sort of S.W.A.T team. Serious trouble is going down in the bathroom."
"What do you mean trouble?" The scrawny blonde boy asked nervously.
"Shit's going down. The crazy chicks got guns and stuff." Dick looked around the restaurant to see everyone staring at him, "You better call in some help or someone's going to die!"
The scrawny boy started walking towards the bathroom, before he was out of sight he called out to some of the other workers. "Christy takeover the register, Martin call the cops." After that he was out of site.
"Duncan and that Max guy!" Dick said silently to himself, referring to the fact that Duncan and Mark were still looking for Logan. Dick ran out the front of the restaurant and towards the water where Duncan and Mark were supposed to be looking. He looked around and spotted two guys walking the opposite direction of the restaurant. They were pretty far away but he figured he'd take a chance. It might be them.
Dick ran as fast as he could towards the two walking guys. When he got closer, he saw that it was in fact Duncan and Mark. "Duncan!" Dick said eagerly. Duncan and Mark stopped walking and Dick sprinted the last bit of distance towards them.
"What's up Dick? We haven't found Logan yet." Duncan said, curious as to why Dick chased them down the beach.
"We did!" Dick said proudly. Then his voice changed to somewhat serious, "But now they're like in the bathroom. Laura's got a gun; Logan was shot in the arm, Veronicas having like a hot duel with her. It's some pretty messed up stuff."
"Oh my God. We better get back there!" Duncan said, already starting to run towards the restaurant Dick had been pointing at while he told the story. Mark and Dick followed and caught up with Duncan.
They could hear police sirens approaching the beach. "Good, help is coming." Duncan between breathes. They finally got to the restaurant and walked in. Everyone was staring at the door because they all knew that something was going on in the washroom. Dick, Duncan and Mark began to walk towards the door when they heard a big bang. "Holy Crap."
"So what happened after you heard the bang?" Lamb asked, seeming just as bored to be asking the questions.
"I was like 'we'll get killed if we go in there.' But Duncan was all like 'What if it's Veronica, oh Veronica!"
"So what did Duncan do?"
"He went in the bathroom, so of course we had to follow."
"And that's when you saw-"
"Yeah."
--
"What's your name kid?" Lamb asked the scrawny blonde sitting across the table from him.
"Jack, sir." The boy was nervous to be in an interrogation room at the sheriff's office.
"You we're working the cashier last night, correct?"
"Yes sir."
"Tell me what happened."
"Okay."
Jack was leaning against the counter. Today was supposed to be his day off, but Shannon asked him to take over for her. He would never say no to Shannon. The dinner rush had already passed, so things were slow.
Jack looked back at his co-workers, who had bored, expressionless faces. He turned back towards the counter and started playing with the register.
Suddenly a strange blonde boy came out of nowhere. "Dude can you call some sort of S.W.A.T team. Serious trouble is going down in the bathroom."
"What do you mean trouble?" Jack asked nervously. He wasn't even supposed to be there, and that was the one-day that brought trouble.
"Shit's going down. The crazy chicks got guns and stuff." The blonde boy was causing quite a scene in the restaurant. "You better call some help or someone's going to die!"
Jack started heading towards the bathroom. He looked back into the kitchen to see his co-workers staring at him. "Christy takeover the register, Martin call the cops." Jack ran towards the bathroom. It was too dangerous for him to go in. It was too dangerous for anyone to go in.
Jack ran towards the locked supply closet located across from the bathrooms. He unlocked it and started rummaging through the stuff. He brought out a 'wet floor' sign, a piece of paper, a marker and some duct tape. He tore a piece of duct tape with his mouth and used it to tape the paper onto the door. He took the marker and wrote 'out of order' on it. He took some more duct tape and made an X with it on the door, just so people got the picture. After all that was done, he put the wet floor sign down in front of the door and ran outside to meet the cops when they showed up.
He waited outside for a while. He looked around the beach and saw the blonde boy that had informed him of the situation running towards the restaurant.
The sirens were slightly noticeable now.
The blonde boy and his friends ran right past Jack and into the restaurant. That's when he heard the loud bang. He ran into the restaurant to find the blonde boys friend entering the bathroom.
"Did you see or hear anything else?" Lamb questioned.
"Just a lot of 'Holy Crap's and Omg's'" Jack paused before continuing, "I went back outside and waited for help to come."
--
"Okay, so you ran back to the restaurant after Dick found you. What happened at the restaurant?" Sheriff Lamb asked impatiently, feeling like he'd asked the same questioned one time too many.
Duncan adjusted himself in his seat before telling his part of the story.
Duncan, Mark and Dick walked into the restaurant. They heard the sirens, and were relieved that help was on its way. The relief was shattered once they heard the bang.
"We have to get in there!" Duncan said eagerly running towards the bathroom door.
"No way! We're going to get like, killed or some shit." Dick said.
"Veronica! What if it's Veronica?" Duncan kept running towards the door. Mark and Dick followed. Duncan pushed the door open and saw what had happened.
"Holy Crap." Dick said in shock.
"So you discovered what had happened?" Lamb asked Duncan while taking a sip of his coffee.
Duncan sighed and looked at the table, "Pretty much."
--
"Ahh Miss Mars, why am I not surprised to see you here?"Lamb laughed as he shut the door and took a seat on his side of the table.
"Maybe your not surprised because you saw my name on the list." Veronica gave a halfhearted smirk and sat down in her chair.
"Or maybe it's because you always seem to be getting yourself into these twisted situations." He took a sip of his water before continuing, "Always getting yourself involved with the law."
"Oh you know I fought the law." Veronica put her finger on her lip and pretended to contemplated, "And If I remember correctly, the law won."
Lamb smirked, believing that she just admitted that he had won. "Wait a second! Those are lyrics by The Clash!" Her smile lifted as his fell. "This is Neptune, and your sheriff. The law never wins."
"Cute." He was aggravated with her already, "Tell me what happened after Mr.Casablancas left the washroom."
"Well Mr. Policeman, I believe it went a little like this."
Dick had left the bathroom for help and Veronica had just tackled Laura to the ground. Laura pushed Veronica off her and she hit her head on the ground. Logan was just shot in the arm.
Everything was in Laura's control.
"I should've known." Laura started talking, "I should've known that the daughter of Keith Mars would be a sneaky bitch." Laura laughed creepily to herself as she took steps towards Logan. Logan's face turned scared, he didn't want to die.
"You didn't love me. You never did!" Laura kept laughing. "It was her. I don't know what there is to like about her." She pointed her gun towards Veronica as she talked about her. Veronica let out a wimpy cry.
Logan shook nervously on the floor. Someone, if not both of them, was going to die. They knew that if they moved, the death would come sooner.
"You think I'm a killer!" Laura shouted, "You think I'm a crazy killer." She started laughing again. None of them responded, they let her keep talking.
"You don't know anything! You don't know what I've been through. You don't know anything!" Laura kept repeating herself angrily. "And that stupid cousin of mine Maria, she didn't know anything either."
Laura laughed to herself before speaking again, "I took care of her."
"She thought it was all about revenge against your father." Laura smiled again, "No it was revenge against you!"
Laura walked around in circles and kept talking, "Me and Logan had something a long time ago. You probably know that though right, you've been through my stuff." Veronicas face turned scared as she pointed the gun at her again. "You know everything! You're Veronica Mars."
Logan looked up at Veronica to see her face. He gave her an 'I'm sorry I put you through this look.'
Veronica returned the same look. After all she dragged him into the case.
Laura looked at them staring at her. "Yeah it's her you love." Laura's hand started shaking. "It's over now."
Laura raised her gun. Bang.
Laura's body dropped heavily onto the tile floor.
Tears started rolling down Veronica's cheek as she crawled towards Logan. "Are you okay?" She whispered. He gave her a nod; she could tell her was in serious pain. "You're always taking a bullet for me aren't you Logan?" She questioned in a sincere voice.
"It's because I love you Veronica." Logan said, you could tell he was in pain by the sound of his voice. More tears started rolling down Veronica's cheek. She held him close to her, trying to avoid touching his hurt arm.
That's when Duncan, Dick and Mark stormed in.
"Holy Crap." Dick said in shock.
"Did you- did she?" Mark questioned, looking at the gun that was lying beside her on the floor.
"She did it." Veronica answered quickly.
They tried to ask questions, but Veronica just nodded and stayed quiet. She didn't really feel like talking. The three boys finally got the hint and they all sat in silence until the help finally came through the door.
Deputy Sachs and Deputy Leo walked into the bathroom and stared at the group of teenagers sitting on the floor. They of course noticed Laura's dead body. They also noticed Logan's hurt arm. Sachs picked up his walkie-talkie and requested two ambulances.
Leo tried to start to ask questions.
"Not now." Duncan said calmly. Leo nodded.
They all sat in silence, the two deputies staring at the body.
A few minutes later the paramedics came into the washroom. "Only one ambulance was available Deputy."
"Take the body, we'll take the other one in our car." Sachs instructed. The paramedics did as told. They put Laura's body into a body bag and put her onto a stretcher. The two deputies went over to Logan and helped him get up. They began to walk him out of the bathroom and towards the front of the restaurant.
Veronica followed, but the others stayed behind. They got to the car, and they gave Veronica permission to ride with them. Veronica crawled into the backseat and the deputies placed Logan in lying down with his head on her lap.
He looked up at her and tried his best to force a smile. She smiled back and words started forming in her mouth. "I love you too."
"That's all very heartwarming. I mean your loving each other and all but where is Mr.Echolls now?" Lamb questioned, annoyed by Veronica.
"He's in the hospital, he did get shot in the arm." Veronica stood up and started walking towards the door.

A/N - I know I keep saying ' 1 or 2 more, 1 or 2 more' but I'm almost positive that the next chapter will be the last. It will kind of tie everything off. It's going to be sad, not reading all of your reviews and not posting this story and stuff.
Review like crazy! I really love all of your reviews.
