A/N – Sorry it took so long for the update! I've been busy lately with a lot, but I finally found time. Sorry if this chapter is a tad dry, I had a bit of writers' block. Of course that doesn't have to stop you from reviewing ;).
Also thanks to Christina, just for being an avid reader .

Megs loud sobs echoed through the police station.
"Miss Manning, I know this is a hard time for you. But if you want to know who did this to your mother you're going to have to talk." Lamb was starting to get angry. He had the 'I don't have all day' look on his face and his fingers were tapping impatiently on the table.
"Mr. Insensitive Jerk, when your mom is murdered and you don't feel like talking to the town asshole, then maybe you'll understand how I feel right now." Meg was upset, and clearly angry. Sure, it wasn't something she would normal say to anybody, but the circumstances were different now. "I'm leaving."
Meg ran out the door of the interrogation room and into the lobby area. That's where Veronica was sitting.
"Hey Meg." Veronica flashed a fake smile. She knew the situation was nothing to smile about, but she had to keep an upbeat attitude while Meg was around.
"Veronica you have to find out who did it! The sheriffs not going to find anything, you have to do this for me." Then Meg broke down. Tears poured down her face and she fell into one of the chairs. Veronica just leaned over to give her a hug.
"I will Meg, I'll find whoever did this."

The next day Veronica sat in her room contemplating the current situation.
On one hand, any of the Manning's could be next. It could be Meg, Mr. Manning or either one of Meg's two sisters. There was also the possibility that the person doing all of this could find out what Veronica was up to, and go after her.
But then there was the other side of everything. The fact that Veronica needed to stick to her promise, and stay fierce. She promised Meg she'd find whoever was behind everything, and she had to keep her promise.
The contemplating ended when she heard a knock at the door. Part of her was scared; it was stupid to think that the person had found her already. But with everything happening around her, she wouldn't be surprised. Of course it didn't make it easy with her dad out trying to get the money shot for a man who is accusing his wife of cheating on him.
Alone and feeling unlike herself, she let the person keep knocking. She figured whoever it was would leave eventually. That of course was not the case, but a familiar voice at the door made her worries about a stranger. Of course new worries filled her altogether.
"Veronica?" The knocks continued.
"Logan." Veronica proceeded to swing the door open, to find him dressed rather nicely, "What are you doing here?"
"Well if I'm not mistaken, today is what tomorrow was yesterday." Logan smirked.
"What are you talking about?" Tired from the previous days events, and slightly annoyed, Veronica looked inquisitively at Logan.
"We're supposed to go to the beach house today to talk to the realtor. You know, so you can get the clues to solve your big mystery." Logan stared directly into her eyes and brought his hands up to put them together as a visual aid, "Are the pieces starting to fit together?"
When your friend's mom dies and you promise her to find whoever's sabotaging her life, the interview with the real estate agent that could potentially get you closer to the answer sometimes slips your mind.
"Is it crazy of me to have thought you were lying yesterday, when you said you'd come today." Veronica laughed a bit, but gestured for him to come in.
"Is it crazy of me to think you forgot about your own plans." He smirked again, and plopped down onto the couch.
Veronica just shook her head and went to her room to change. While she was in the room, she heard Logan shout, "Can I take your lack of an answer to mean that you did forget about your own plans." As much as she didn't want to respond, she couldn't let him win, even if it was just a joke.
"You can take my lack of an answer as me trying to block you out of my mind." Veronica walked out of the room with her bag, "Let's hit the road."

"And the back window looks out to an incredible view of the ocean." Mr. Iverson walked around the amazingly large beach house and pointed out the highlights of the house. "I think you two are the perfect candidates for it.
Veronica and Logan gave each other an incredibly fake gooshy smile as they grabbed onto each other's hands. "You really think so?"
"I do, and you can put an offer on it now!" Mr. Iverson smiled and turned around to show them another portion of the house.
"Actually, can we have a minute to discuss a few things?" Mr. Iverson nodded and Veronica pulled Logan into the foyer of the house, far away from the kitchen they were just led into previously. Veronica shut the door the led from the foyer into the living room and began talking.
"We somehow need to find out about those people whose pictures we saw on the wall of his office." Veronica raised her arms and gestured in urgency.
"What am I supposed to do? You didn't really inform me of the game plan before we got in here." Logan was making similar gestures, and to see them through the glass window of the door would seem like they were arguing.
Which is how Mr. Iverson saw them as he walked towards the foyer. Logan and Veronica noticed him, and then noticed how they were positioned as if they were arguing. The real estate agent came towards them, probably in hopes of clearing up whatever they were arguing about.
"Hug me!" Veronica shouted impulsively.
"What?"
"Just hug me!"
Logan dove in for an uncomfortable hug. "Hmm, did you need a cuddle?"
"Logan, he was about to come in and we're not ready to talk to him. Plus if were this… close, then we can talk quieter and he won't hear us through the door." Veronica had an uneasy look on her face, while Logan smiled out of hilarity. "Okay, so this is the plan. There are three people we have to visit. A man named Shawn Robertson and a couple named Cindy and Markus St. James. We're going to have to act fast, so we're going to have to play the sex scandal card."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Logan laughed, because to him this was all a joke. He just couldn't believe he got himself involved in all of this.
"Okay, I'm going to go and somehow seduce the guys. Well seduce them until they talk to me, I don't plan on letting them in my pants." Veronica realized they were still hugging, and quickly let go. "You however, are going to have to seduce this Cindy person. Use your charm and good looks to get answers."
"If the plan is to go directly to them, why did we have to come here today? This got us absolutely nothing." Logan asked, and of course Veronica answered.
"Oh Contraire!" Veronica opened the door and pulled Logan out into the living room area with her. "Mr. Iverson, we were just wondering if we could possibly talk to some of your past customers. I mean, I know you have a good reputation and all but were really new to all of this and we really need a second opinion." Before he could answer, Veronica continued, "And we actually looked at your recent buyers list and we found a couple of people that looked promising. We just hoped you could get us some sort of contact information." Veronica handed him the sheet with the names she wanted listed down.
"Well, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to give away that sort of information." He looked down at the list of names and then up at Veronica who had put on a really big frown, "But I'm sure these people won't mind. They're friendly and kind, they'll understand."
Veronica wasn't sure if he was doing it because he wanted to make the sale, or because he was nice. But she smiled largely at her own manipulating skills as he wrote the phone numbers on the paper and handed it to her. Logan shook hands with him and they walked out together.
As Veronica and Logan walked out the front door together, she whispered to him, "The rest is cake."
