Stay Tuned For Danger

The rain tapped lightly on the car parked in the Hearst parking lot.

Did it bother her? Yea it did.

All those things he did or rather didn't do. When she reported her rape, the bus crash. When ever they were around each other it was hate that filled the room not lust or anything she felt now. Veronica never thought Lamb would be this caring, or ever apologize for what he did. Further more she had no clue what made herself forgive him. Maybe it was becuase it had been a long time since she had been happy.

Happy? It wasn't supposed to be that way. Her dad is missing and she's happy? No way. She couldn't be happy. She was supposed to be sad, worried, and scared. But she wasn't. Why not? She had a feeling something bad was going to happen. Or maybe good or both, in her gut she couldn't tell.

Veronica started to think about her dad.

Where did they take him?

Was he okay?

Was he hurt?

Is he still alive?

The last question made her stop. Is he still alive? Veronica shivered at her thoughts. She looked over at the clock. It had been almost three days. Three days since her father was taken. A tear fell from her eye and trailed down her face.

There was a loud knock on her window. Veronica jumped. She looked over to see Wallace standing in the rain, his hands covering his face from the weather. He ran over to the passenger door and climbed in.

"Veronica what's wrong?" he asked in a soft voice.

She looked over at him and wiped the tear from her face. But another one came down. Veronica turned away and stared to cry. Her hands on the strering wheel and head down, in her armes.

"Veronica." Wallace reached over and rubbed her back.

She started to calm down, she wiped her face and looked over at Wallace.

"I'm fine, I'm fine" Veronica told him

"Yea I'm so sure." Wallace said as he watched Veronica gather her things and start to open the door.

"Wallace, I'm fine, I just... I" Veronica tried to explain.

"Veronica you dont have to tell me, I just want you to know I am here when ever okay?" Wallace told her.

She nodded a got out of the car, and her and Wallace walked to Mac's room.

Veronica walked into the parking lot. She spotted Mac and Parker near a bench under a tree. She smiled and walked over to them. Just as she was coming up to them Logan walked over to Parker and kissed her. Veronica took a deep breath and walked over to the group. Veronica walked up to Mac who was just staring at the two. She looked over at Veronica and raised an eyebrow. Parker and Logan obviously hadn't seen Veronica, or Logan would have stopped sucking on Parker's face.

"It's almost illegel." Veronica said abruptly. The two stopped and looked over at Veronica and Mac.

"If you don't like it don't watch." Logan said as he put his hand in Parker's.

Veronica smiled. "And miss a chance to want to throw up, not a chance." Veroncia saw a patrol car pull around a corner of the parking lot.

"Veronica, you do know that you were just like this." Logan said, trying to get her attention.

"You know what, I changed my mind I will take that chance" Veronica told them and started to walk away.

"Just saying" Logan shouted after her. She looked behind her for only a second.

-

"Whats up with her." Logan asked Mac. She shrugged.

"Its just the usual Veronica Mars, always hiding her feelings." Parker said as they all watched Veronica walk up to the police car.

Logan nodded but wasn't convinced.

-

"Hey" Lamb said as Veronica got close enough to hear. She leaned down to see him.

"Hey" Veronica said.

"We got a lead on the case." Lamb told her. "Get in i'll show you." Veronica smiled and opened the door.

Just as she started to get in, a black car rolled by. She looked at it like she had seen it before. Just as it passed by a man with sunglasses looked at her as the car drove by. She saw the man's lips move, thats her he seemed to say. She quickly looked away.

What the hell was that about? Veronica thought to herself, maybe they found her.

They found where she was. No they couldn't have. She had been careful. Nobody followed her, or not that she saw.

"Veronica?" Lamb got out of the car and looked at Veronica.

"Oh umm... sorry." Veronica said as she watched the car. "Lets go" Veronica said as she climled in the car. Lamb shook his head and got in as well.

"Sheriff we got the records you wanted I put them on your desk." Sacks told Lamb as he and Veronica walked into the station.

They both walked into his office. Veronica sat down in one of the chairs and Lamb took the folder on his desk and read though it. He stopped and then passed the folder to Veronica.

She looked at it while Lamb did something on his computer. She read though a list of names, a few of them cirlced. One with a star. Charlie Marsh.

"Charlie Marsh" Lamb said as he turned the computer monitor toward her. She looked at it . There was a mug shot of one Charlie Marsh. He was the theif that caught Veronica taking the pictures.

"Well doesn't he look familar." Veronica said. Lamb smiled and turned the monitor back toward him.

"Yea, but it says here his parol ended a few weeks ago." Lamb told her.

"What?" Veronica sounded surprised and got up and walked behind his desk to look at the computer again. It said that his parol had ended about three weeks ago.

"The robbery was only last week." Veronica said. Lamb nodded.

"Thats enough time to plan." Veronica said. Lamb shrugged and turned his chair toward Veronica. She looked at him.

"Veronica, we'll find these guys." Lamb told her, seeing the worry in her eyes. Veronica smiled.

"I know" Veronica said. But it wasn't a matter of that, it was a matter of if her dad was still alive of not.

Just then Sacks came in.

"Sheriff I know you are really busy on that robbery, but there is something you need to see." Sacks said, then left and closed the door.

Veronica moved out from behind the desk. Lamb got up and they walked to the door. He turned around to Veronica.

"Are you goign to be okay?" He asked her.

Veronica just nodded not sure if she was or wasn't.She looked up at him, her arms over her waist.

Lamb pulled Veronica in closer, and kissed her. She smiled and put her arms around him. It felt good to be close to him.

Lamb kissed Veronica's forehead. She put her head on his chest. She was worried about her father, and she really needed to be close to someone.

"Call me if you need anyhting, okay?" Lamb told her. " I'll stop by tomorrow and tell you any news."

Veronica nodded.

Lamb let go and opened the door. Veronica walked out and went out to her car.

Veronica woke up to a heavy object on her legs. She looked down and saw a large dog, or to be more specific a pitbull.

"Back-up!" Veronica said loudly as the dog jumped up to great her. He licked her face, and Veronica pulled him into a hug.

Mac came over the them and smiled.

"I thought you might like to wake up to someone you know best." Mac said, as she watched the two.

"How did you get him in here?" Veroncia asked.

"Parker, Logan and I snuck him in." Mac told her.

"Thanks."

"Hey no problem." Mac said as she started to walk away. "but he can't bark." Mac told her.

"How do a control that?" Veronica asked petting her dog.

"Thats your problem." Mac replied.

Veronica smiled and tryed to think.

After getting Back-up siituated, Veronica headed toward her classes. And after those her and Mac were meeting in the parking lot.

Veronica looked for Mac in the sea of students. Then she saw her, at the same bench they were yesterday, and with her were Parker and Logan. She walked over to them.

"Should we claim this land?" Veronica asked sarcastically.

"Hey Veronica." Mac greeted. Veronica smiled at her, and then looked at Parker and Logan.

"Hey guys I just wanted to say thanks for the whole Back-up thing." Veronica said to them.

"No problem Veronica, it's the least I could do." Parker told her but got distracted when a police car pulled up.

"Veronica are you being stalked?" Mac asked. Veronica looked at her with a questionable face, then followed where her eyes were.

"Oh no he is just helping me on the case." Veroncia told them as Lamb got out of his car and to walk over to the group.

"Hey any news?" Veronica asked as he reached them.

"Some, I was just about to check it out." Lamb said to her.

Logan looked at the two, usally when they were together they were nasty to each other, but now things have definitly cooled down between the two. He shook off the feeling.

"I'll go with you." Veroncia told him like he didn't have a choice.

Just then a car pulled up behind the group. They all turned to look at it. When Veronica turned to looked she did a double take. It was the same black car.

Two men with sunglasses and suits stepped out, one from the back and one from the passenger side. Then the driver, also wear sunglasses got out and stood by the door, just looking around. The first two men started to walk over to where Veronica was. Veronica stepped back a little.

All the sudents were looking to see what was going on, as well as Lamb and her friends.

"Veroncia Mars?" They asked as they pointed at her.

"Yes, can I help you?" She asked not knowing what to say. One of the mans voices sounded familar.

The two men looked at each other, then back at her. One of the men pulled out a badge and flashed it to her. "FBI, you going to have to come with us"

Veronica mouth dropped open.

"I'm sorry I don't understand." Veronica told them. The men came closer to her, she stepped back agian. One of the men reached in their pocket and got out a piece of paper. The other walked behind Veroncia and took out a pair of handcuffs.

Veronica's jaw tightined as she put down her bag and gave her hands to the man. He put the cuffs on her .She winced at how tight he did it. He turned her around to face her friends and the rest of the students who were looking at the scene. They all were whispering and had their hands over their mouths. Her friends just stood there, Logan and Parker had their mouths wide open, and Mac had worry plastered all over her face. Lamb on the other hand stood there looking at the whole scene and tryed to make sence of it all.

The man with the paper gave it to Mac because she was the closest. Mac began to read, but Lamb riped it from her hands and looked at it. He watched the two men take Veroncia away. The man seemed to be telling her somehting, Veronica jurked her head back and started to say something but she was pushed in the back of the car.

-

Veronica watched Lamb pour over the paper as she was being pulled away. Just as they were getting to the door the man from behind her leaned into her.

"Hello Veroncia, my name is Charlie Marsh" he whispered to her.

Her blood went cold. She tried to turn back to Lamb but was pushed into the car.

Veroncia knew something bad was going to happen but this?

You guys are rushing me. :) I have it all planned out see. I know Veronica would never forgive Lamb like that. So I put it like that and then I would deal with the other stuff in the this chapter. but thank you, I really liked the review.

(P.S. I made up the name Charlie Marsh)
