Veronica and Klaus decided to stay a little longer at the witch house and while Klaus got to now Lilly better, Veronica talked with Bonnie and looked through one of the big books with her.

"You really sold your schoolmates dirt about their parents?" Bonnie asked in awe.

"Yep. Apparently it was useful when they got grounded."

"How so?" The witch asked curiously.

"Your parents ground you because you got home after your curfew and now you can't go to this party where everyone that's anyone will be… You tell your mother you know she was married for 2 days when she was 18 and you tell your father you know he got his licence suspended when he was your age… You get off and go to the party…" Veronica explained.

"How much did you charge for that?" Bonnie asked curiously.

"It depends on the person asking… If it's a friend or someone that does me favours I will ask much less that people that annoy me or rich ones…" She replied.

"Do you know how to find people?" Bonnie asked.

"Once I helped a kid finding his father… Turns out the man, that someone had inconveniantly named John Smith by the way, was now a married woman…"

"Could you help me find my mother?" Bonnie asked in a small voice.

"Sure, I can try… You just come by sometime with all the info you have on her and I'll get on it!" Veronica replied.

"How much will I have to pay?" Bonnie asked.

"Hey, you're helping me free Lilly from this life for free. This will be free too!" The young PI said with a soft smile.

"Thank you, you're cool. I get what Klaus sees in you." Bonnie replied softly.

They kept talking a while more until Klaus rose and said someone was coming. He went to stand protectively in front of Veronica as the door opened.

"Bonnie? Jeremy said you needed my help. What's…going on?" He said as he eyed Klaus, Veronica and the ghost.

"Hello Damon. You remember Veronica?" Klaus asked.

"Yes, it's hard to forget a feisty blond who taser you!" He replied.

"And I'm Lilly Kane the fabulous!" Lilly said.

"What's going on?" Damon asked again.

"Lilly is a ghost and she can't move on until Veronica dies… Becoming a vampire doesn't count… We're looking for a way to help her." Bonnie explained.

"Why?" Damon asked.

"Because Veronica is helping me with something else for free!" Bonnie snapped.

"And why do you need my help?" The blue eyed vampire asked.

"Well, we don't really need it but somehow here everyone can see Lilly… She's been watching you and thinks your hot… She wanted to see you for real…" Veronica said with an amused smile.

"I should have guessed something with the looks baby Gilbert as been giving me…" Damon said.

"Oh, there isn't much baby about him… Trust me he's rather well memb…" Lilly started but was cut off by Veronica:

"Lilly! Isn't there anyone in this town you haven't spied on in the shower yet?"

"Like you wouldn't do the same if you had the chance!" Lilly said as she rolled her eyes.

"So I've been called here to baby-sit a ghost?" Damon asked, annoyed and amused.

"Oh, I don't need babysitting… I need company! We could talk… You could talk to me naked!" Lilly suggested.

"Okay well, we'll be on our way then!" Klaus said suddenly.

"Good idea! Lilly, I'll tell Kol he can see you here… I don't think you'll be lonely for long!" Veronica replied.

"I'm sure all the dead witches are going to LOVE being invaded by all these hormone fueled male vampire!" Bonnie said as she gathered a couple of books and handed a few more to Veronica and Klaus.
