Chapter 2- A Family to Count On

The four of them sat at the dinner table eating Lasagne.

Melissa- "So Veronica tell us a bit about yourself?"

Veronica- "Hmm... I can put grown men to shame with the amount of food I eat."

They all laughed having just witness the amounts of food Veronica just eat.

Veronica- "What would you like to know?"

Melissa- "I didn't know, like what do you do in you spare time? Any hobbies?"

Veronica- "Well, I like to spend time with my friends, my dad and stuff like that, I work with my dad sometimes, but now he is sheriff again not so much."

Scott- "So what do you plan on doing while you're here?"

Veronica- "I was going to keep busy, talk to the Sheriff's department and see if they need any help."

Isaac grinned

Isaac- "No a fence but how can you help the Sheriff's department you're like my age."

Veronica grinned back, in a way she liked to be underestimated because she gets to prove them wrong.

Veronica- "I'm not really you're average teenage girl... Anyway what's it like living here in Beacon Hills, I bet the peace and quiet is nice."

Melissa, Scott and Isaac are all trying very hard not the start laughing.

Isaac- "Pease and quiet; Yeah we wish" He says under his breath.

Melissa- "Beacon Hills isn't really known for being Peaceful"

Veronica- "Melissa the Lasagne was great thank you, it might even be better than my dad's but don't tell him I said that, is it okay if I go to my room and unpack, it's been a long day"

Melissa- "Of course honey"

With that she left. Once in the room she grabbed her iPod, put her headphones on and put the music on full blazed. She walked around the room putting clothes away. Then got her other bag and took out the death threats, hand written notes and printed off emails, she started to study them more and put them in date order. A lot of them her dad didn't know about but as soon as they started threatening Logan and her dad she showed them him. They all said pretty much the same thing "leave Neptune or die" but some went into more detail about what they would do to her before they kill her and those were the ones she was not going to share with her dad.

She picks up the notes and gets her laptop and starts checking emails when she feels a tap on her shoulder that makes her jump. Taking her headphones out she looks up at Isaac who is standing with a glass of water in his hand.

Isaac- "Sorry I didn't mean to scare you, the door was open and Melissa told me to bring you a glass of water"

Veronica- "It's okay; I'm just a bit jumpy"

Isaac- "So what where you so engrossed in"

Isaac moves to look at the paper dotted around the bed in front of her. Veronica moves them so he can't read them

Isaac- "You really aren't an avenge teenage girl are you? Most girls would be painting their nails and going shopping, what is all this?"

Veronica- "The reason why I left Neptune, have you ever heard about Neptune before?"

Isaac- "Only that it's a lot like here, got bad luck."

Veronica- "I wish Neptune did just have bad luck but it's mainly because of the bad people" changing the subject "So Isaac how long have you been living here?"

Isaac- "A while now but I'm thinking of moving out soon"

Veronica- "What? Why? Do you not like it here?"

Isaac- "No, I love it here but I don't want to over stay my welcome. It started off as just a short term thing..."

Veronica- "Isaac there is no way that they want you to leave, they look to you as another member of their family."

Isaac- "Wait... they think of me as family?"

Veronica- "Yeah, they said you were family when they told me about you today."

Isaac- "I did think about it a month or so ago?"

Veronica- "Think about what?"

Isaac- "After Alison die I through about leaving..."

Veronica- "I don't want to overstep but who's Alison?"

Isaac- "Long story but the short of it is she meant a lot to all of us, she was a strong clever beautiful girl that would protect the people she cares about"

Veronica- "She sounded like my sort of person... In the end what made you stay?"

Isaac- "I never really had a family that I can count on before and then I realized that I have that now."

Veronica- "Well you're just as much family to them as I am if not more."

Isaac- "Whatever you say Sis" he says with a small smile.

Veronica gets up off the bed.

Veronica- I'm going to go to the sheriff's department and check if I can come into help tomorrow"

With that she grabs all her notes and her bag and leaves. She didn't trust Isaac to not look through the notes because let's face it, she would do it.

I do not really want to help the sheriff's department with any cases; I doubt this town has that many unsolved crimes. The really reason is that I want access to their systems.

The Sheriff's department isn't that busy; Veronica walks up to the reception desk and stands next to a boy waiting in the reception area.

Veronica moving to the receptionist

Veronica- "Hi, would it be possible to speak to the sheriff. I only need a minute of his time"

Receptionist- "I'm sorry, it's getting close to the end of the day and he's busy"

Veronica- "I understand I'll stop back tomorrow"

Veronica walks away but is followed by the boy.

Boy- "Hi, I'm Stiles and I know that if you wait 10 minutes you can catch the sheriff on the way to his car" Just as he finished speaking the Sheriff came out of his office.

Stiles- "or now" point over to his Dad.

Veronica- "Sheriff can I have a moment of your time" she says walking back up to the reception desk.

Sheriff- "And what can I help you with young lady?"

Veronica- "it's more like what can I help you with? My name is Veronica Mars, I'm a PI" she says take out her badge "I'm here for a couple of weeks at least I was hoping you would let me help out a little and I can work for free, I just want to widen my area of experience" The Sheriff thought about what the little blonde said. She looked about the same age as his sons but they were short staffed, she could just answer the phones if nothing else.

Sheriff- "I'm going to do a bit of research first to make sure your not just a 14 year girl with an over active imagination but be here at 9am and we will get you started on answering phones"

Veronica- "See you in the morning Sheriff, nice to meeting you Stiles"

Stiles- "You too"

Maybe I should try being nice more often, I mean I haven't blackmailed, threaten or tasered anybody since I got here and things seem to be working out fine so far

AN- Please review and Let me know what you think
