Veronica checked her phone again as she sat at her desk in the Mars Investigation's Office trying to calm the information overload and theory high. Not hearing from Logan was really starting to freak her out after the information she had discovered about Kendall Casablanca's aka Priscilla Banks. Formerly of Hamlee High School. Multiple arrests for Solicitation, drug possession and burglary, she even did a 6 month stint up in San Quinent for wire fraud. A known associate of Liam and Cormac Fitzpatrick, of the fighting Fitzpatrick's, Neptune's own personal Irish Mafia.

Cormac Fitzpatrick… currently serving time in Chino, known to be an internal racketeer for some of the more affluent 09ers and celebrity guests who couldn't quite buy themselves a jury just yet. Currently associated with Aaron Echolls. Hollywood Action Star, A Lister, Adulterer and Murderer of one Lilly Kane, daughter of his former best friend and Billionaire Tech Mogul Jake Kane. Kendall Casablanca's now had all of Veronica's attention. The woman had went from spandex to cashmere remarkably fast, she wouldn't be underestimating her, what was someone like her with a multimillionaire real estate tycoon husband, doing going after someone like Logan?

Aside from the obvious… she thought as she skimmed through the photographs again. It still made her sick to think of Logan's strong hands ever touching another woman… of him using that talented body with anyone else ever again… Sure that was jealousy, and heavens knows, Veronica was Vengeful by nature, so Jealousy was a natural extension, but something about this didn't sit right with her. Yes Logan being so fuzzy on the commandments should probably have bothered her… but it was more than jealousy… something in her Gut told her there was more to this story.

Kendall Casablancas formerly known as Kendall Shifflette before her marriage to Richard Casablanca's, was the name she had stolen from a girl whom had died when they were 15, a girl whom Priscilla Banks, who was the driver of the vehicle at the time had been responsible for killing. She had literally stepped into her dead friends shoes. Had she been sent here to target Logan for his dad? Logan hadn't been on the bus that day.. because according to Beaver's timeline of dodgy things Kendall… she had been with her lover… which just so happens to be My Logan, she thought angrily.

Veronica searched further into Kendall's financials and discovered a possible cause for her having a motive for the bus crash.. she stood to make millions in life insurance sending that bus over that cliff with her step children on it… although they had been in the limo travelling behind the bus at the time. Something nagged at her… there was a bigger connection here but she just couldn't see it right now. The coincidence about Aaron Echolls and her prison lover Irish Mafia boss Cormac Fitzpatrick both having a connection to the fake Ms Kendall Casablanca's was just too much. Had Kendall been sent to keep Logan occupied so he wouldn't have been on the bus that day? Did that mean that both Cassidy and Dick were still in danger? Was Duncan?

If Logan was meant to be seduced to be kept off that bus… did that mean they knew that she and Duncan were supposed to be on it? The only 2 material witnesses to the tapes in the Lilly Kane Murder investigation? Her synapses were firing questions at her faster than she could process.

David Curly Moran… he had had Veronica's name written in sharpie all over his hand. Where did he fit into all this?

On a whim, Veronica pulled up the search bar on her computer.

David Moran + Aaron Echolls + Fitzpatrick + Casablancas.

At first it didn't pop up anything other than a bunch of movie reviews and rotten tomato scores, it wasn't until Veronica flicked through the google images at the top of the screen that she noticed the picture of The Long Haul, starring Aaron Echolls. A poster of a truck veering over a bridge popped up, but the writing was blurred and she couldn't make out the details very well. Logan would be able to help her with this part, the Echolls Family Estate was littered down almost every hallway with movie posters from Aaron Echolls pictures. Veronica hadn't been sure how Logan could have tolerated them after the revelation about who had been Lilly's Killer, but now she was glad they were still there.

8 of her classmates had died during that bus crash, and here there was a connection to Aaron Echolls and crashing vehicles, but she couldn't quite tell where anyone else fit in, apart from the Casablanca's firm was the one handling the sale of the Kane Estate and site where Lilly Kane had been murdered. The Fitzpatricks were known for Protection Works in prison when they were inside, making people have to sign over a life debt to the family, a percentage of what they made would got to the Irish Mafia until the "debt" was considered repaid. They strong armed witnesses into recanting statements. Burned out cars of prosecutors of people for wealthy defendants who paid enough money for them to do their dirty work. They did everything in their power to get their "Clients" free, because their little jail bird cash cows were worth more outside prison earning than they were rotting in prison.

Everything in her told her that Aaron Echolls was wrapped up in this somehow… the man in her nightmares, the one who had almost burned her alive. Even through a computer screen, his eyes bore into Veronicas… he was evil personified, and she would be damned if he thought he could plot his way out of that prison cell and anywhere near Logan ever again. Fury bubbled up inside her and she closed the laptop screen.

She had to talk to Logan but he still wasn't answering his phone… there was bound to be a catalogue someplace at the Echolls House, a Christmas list of people who had worked on the movie sets with Aaron during these things. He was bound to have kept a record, some agent someplace would have made sure it was on a computer someplace so they could sent out an anniversary gift for each of the movies, Mr "Hollywood Loves Me" Echolls was known for never forgetting the "little guys". It made the tabloids lap it up, Mr Echolls was such a great guy… he couldn't have bashed a 16 year old girls head in with an ashtray. Except he had, and then he had tried to kill Veronica as well.

"Veroniiiiccccaaaaa….. Where are the tapes?" Aaron Echolls voice whispered to her and she shuddered. She should talk to Deputy Leo D'amato about how good the security the evidence lock up at the Sheriffs Department was these days. Those tapes…. Something told her they needed to be secured, or backed up or something…

She would talk to Beaver tomorrow, warn him about his step-mother, get him the information she had found.

There had to be some way to find out if Curly was involved with the Fitzpatricks or Aaron Echolls.

Please text me back Logan… even if you did do something insanely stupid, you have no idea the snake pit you just found yourself in this time.
