READ THE A/N PLEASE!

A/N: Here it is guys, the last chapter. I may put up the epilogue but I haven't decided. Also I just need to remind you guys of a scene in chapter 8 where Veronica is now staying with Duncan and she is going through the bag Logan has given her and she discovers his jacket is with her stuff: this is the extract from chapter 8: "Veronica could finally go to bed; she was exhausted from the day. She was about to get into bed- when she spotted the bag that Logan had given her, with the stuff she left at his house. She walked over to it and opened the bag, slowly rummaging through the items he had packed. Some clothes of hers where in there, her hair brush and…. Veronica sat down on the bed holding the item in her hand that she didn't understand why was with her stuff. It was Logan's jacket the one he gave her to wear when she was cold and they were stuck in the murder shack. Carefully she slipped the jacket on and felt calmer about everything that was going. She switched off the bedroom light and went to bed."

Chapter 16: Game over

'What the hell is going on?' Amber asked. Veronica shifted her gaze to Amber's; she was feeling very nervous all of a sudden. She looked over, once again, at Logan she could tell that his grip on Claire's arm was extremely tight. No one had answered Amber's question yet and the atmosphere, in the room, was getting worst with each second that passed in silence. Veronica heard someone take a deep breath she was also vaguely aware that the music outside of the room seemed to have gotten louder.

'What is going on here?!' Amber asked once again- her voice oddly soft. Silence followed her question. Everyone was glancing at each other. Nerves in the room were clearly evident amongst them all.

'Remember me?' Logan asked finally breaking the silence. He let go of Claire who immediately began to massage the arm that he had been holding. He took a step forward. 'Amber right?' He asked her. She nodded in response. 'So was it you or Beth that shot me?' Logan shifted his gaze to Beth in the room. 'Beth right?' She didn't respond to him in anyway. 'I'll take that as yes,' he turned back to Amber, 'my guess Amber, is that it was you who shot me.' Amber was clearly shocked but in a matter of moments she had quickly covered any emotion that had been showing on her face.

'I don't know what you're talking about,' she stated, 'I came here to get my sister. Let's go Claire.' She took a step towards the door but Mac grabbed her arm.

'You aren't leaving.' Mac said rather harshly she looked at Amber. 'Yet.' She added and then let go of her arm.

'You should break that habit of shooting people. It's not very nice.' Logan chimed in again. He folded his arms are raised his eyebrows.

'You're delusion.' She shot back at Logan.

'And you're crazy.'

'I did not shoot you.' Amber resolve broke a bit and her voice came out louder than she expected it too.

'But you did kidnap me.' Dick chimed in. Logan smirked at him. Amber's eyes grew big.

'What the fuck are you guys talking about?' It was James who spoke now. He seemed to be edging closer to them all. Veronica seemed to realize she was still in the room. She faced James.

'All in due time, James.' She said and looked at Dick. 'You finished?' She asked. He shook his head and spun around to face Beth.

'But I think it was you who kept an eye on me in that house. Wasn't it?' Dick asked Beth. She looked at him incredulously.

'Are you joking?' She asked finally speaking. 'I wouldn't waste my time with anyone like you, regardless of the circumstances.' Her voice was like a knife when she said the word circumstances. Dick smiled.

'It was you. Your voice is annoyingly unforgettable.' He seemed to turn back to Amber preventing Beth from replying. Veronica looked at Amber and Beth- they were on the verge of breaking. She moved forward a bit so she could see them both.

'I know you remember me. And I must admit I'm kinda annoyed I still have to deal with you two. Your death threats are getting old. And shooting and kidnapping my friends really pisses me off. More than you can know.' She folded her arms and titled her head. 'So don't play stupid with me, I know it's you two, I did my research. You can deny it all you want.' Amber stepped forward. She was very close to Veronica now.

'You don't know when to back off do you?' Veronica took another step towards Amber making the space between them even smaller.

'It's not in my nature.'

'What do you want?' Amber ran a hand through her hair.

'To make a deal with you two.' Beth stepped forward and stood next to Amber. They both knew there was no point in trying to prove their innocence now.

'That's not going to happen.' Beth answered. Veronica turned her gaze to her.

'Oh well, then I guess I'll just have to go to the police informing them of the extracurricular activities you've been up to lately.' There was silence was again.

'What makes you think you'll get that far?' Beth choked out.

'You're quite feisty; from where I'm standing I don't think you're in the position to be making threats.' It was Logan who answered. Amber looked at him. Logan's face was deadly. He wasn't joking.

'We're listening.' She said. Veronica nodded.

'See the way I see it, I have all this evidence against you two and the boys who you've been using. Now I don't think you want to go to jail. And my friends and I don't want to have to go the police and testify against you all. And we don't really want the boys over there,' she motioned to Peter and James, 'go down with you two. So we have some conditions…' Veronica looked at Mac she knew she was sending texts to Wallace and Duncan making sure that they were getting all of this. Mac nodded at her once when she noticed Veronica looking at her. She turned back to Amber and Beth.

'We want you to leave us alone.' She then looked at Peter and James. 'And leave them alone. And stop all of this and then we'll leave you alone.' Beth scoffed.

'I don't believe you, it's too easy.' Silence fell again. Veronica could see from the corner of her eye that James was moving closer to them.

'What is going on? What are you talking about?' he asked. He was glancing at all of them.

'Don't worry about it, James.' Peter said.

'Good to see you again, Peter. Thankfully you aren't driving us anywhere this time.' Veronica casually said. Peter glanced at her nervously. Then looked at James.

'Leave James. I'll meet you later.' He said. Amber's face seemed to click with some sort of recognition.

'Yeah James, this is nothing.' Amber said. James fell silent but he didn't make any move to leave. Veronica assessed the situation before her. Everyone else in the room knew what they were talking about. Even Claire who hadn't said anything clearly knew what was going on. But James didn't seem to know what they were talking about. Veronica looked over at him. They still hadn't gotten Amber or Beth to say that had killed the girls and they needed that confession. Veronica sighed and turned her gaze away from James, she was going to have to use him to get the confession out of them.

'Would any of you consider killing four girls nothing? Then kidnapping and shooting two other people nothing?' Veronica said to the room at large.

'That's not fucking nothing.' Logan said. Veronica looked at him.

'Definitely not nothing.' Dick added in. She needed to work them all up. She turned to Peter.

'Was killing Kim nothing, Peter? What about Simon or Lisa?' She paused and looked at James. 'or Sarah?'

'Shut up!' Beth, Amber and Peter yelled together.

'But you did kill them.' Veronica said to the Amber and Beth. 'And apparently its nothing.' She added in a rather sarcastic voice.

'Shut up.' Amber warned she glanced nervously at James. He stepped forward.

'You two killed Sarah?' He asked.

'Amber was the one who killed Sarah. Beth helped with the rest.' Veronica supplied James with the information.

'What the fuck?' He was angry.

'James, calm down.' Peter said.

'Did you know?' James asked him.

'Oh, Amber and Beth manipulated some of the boys in keeping their secret and doing some things for them. Kidnapping Dick for example.' Veronica caught James gaze.

'IS THIS TRUE?' He walked towards Amber. Veronica was surprised he could form a coherent sentence considering how furious he sounded.

'Tell him, Amber.' Veronica turned to him.

'Shut up.' She said again.

'He already knows it true.' Logan added.

'You may as well tell him the truth. His in this now.' Mac added.

'IS IT TRUE?' he yelled again stepping closer. Peter looked very worried.

'Calm down, James.'

'Shut up, Peter.'

'Amber, did you fucking kill, Sarah?'

'She did.' Veronica said.

'Shut up.' Beth said this time.

'Feeling left out, Beth?' Veronica shot at her. 'You could tell him how you helped kill the other three girls.'

'You know I'm surprised you two managed to pull off something like this and not get caught...until now.' Logan added.

'Did you two do this?' James was softer now. Amber eyes were pooling with tears. He noticed this. 'You did!' He turned to Peter. 'And you're dating Beth? You didn't turn them in!'

'I couldn't-'

'Like fuck you couldn't.'

'He couldn't, James. Like I said Amber and Beth blackmailed them into keeping quiet, they did it so no one else would die.' Veronica again spoke up. Something in James seemed to snap.

'You killed them because you didn't like them dating us. You wanted me. But I didn't want you, Amber. I wanted Sarah. I loved her. And you killed her?' James voice was like ice. He was staring at Amber with a deadly look on his face.

'It was an accident-'Amber started.

'DID YOU KILL HER? THEM? YES OR NO.'

'Tell him.' Veronica added.

'They did.' Logan added.

'DID YOU?'

'James-'

'DID YOU AMBER? AND YOU BETH?'

'Tell him.'

'You owe him this.'

'He already knows it's true.' Dick, Veronica and Logan were constantly throwing in their comments. Veronica knew Amber was about to break.

'AMBER, TELL ME!' James walked right up to her. 'DID YOU KILL THE GIRL I LOVED?'

'YES!!!' Amber finally broke. But her voice was cold. 'I killed Sarah, Lisa, Simon and Kim. Beth helped. We have been black mailing the guys to help us.' She paused and looked at him. 'I didn't want it to get this out of control. It wasn't supposed to go like this. I'm sorry.' She reached out for him. James moved back from Amber.

'Shut up, Amber. Is this true, Beth?'

'Yes, James it is.' None of this seemed to faze Beth. Veronica sighed in relief they had got the confession. She looked at Mac once again who nodded assuring Veronica they had got it. She looked at James. He was clenching his fist and breathing heavily. He was angrier than Veronica expected. Something wasn't right. Veronica felt that.

'Calm down, James.' Peter said. He was very worried.

'What's going on?' Veronica quickly asked, everyone was looking at James.

'He has some anger control issues.' Peter quickly said. 'Why the fuck did you have to do this?!' he added not really aiming the question at anyone- it could have been for Veronica or Amber and Beth.

'Breathe, James.' He shook his head.

'The deal is on.' Amber quickly added to Veronica. 'Let's go, Beth. Claire.' They nodded.

'No.' James moved towards Amber but Peter grabbed him. He shoved him hard out of the way. He fell to the floor. Veronica quickly stepped in front of James. James made a move to grab Veronica but Logan moved quickly.

'Veronica move!' Logan yelled. He grabbed her arm and pulled out of her way. He stepped in front of James. Grabbing his shoulders.

'You need to calm down. Please.' James looked at Logan and then in one fluid motion he punched him. Hitting him just below the eye. Logan stumbled. James side stepped him. He walked straight to Amber.

'James-' Amber started she didn't have time to say more than that because James had wrapped his arms around her neck. She tried to claw his hands off of her neck. Beth screamed.

'James! Calm down.' Veronica yelled. Dick snapped into motion he launched at James and punched him. Making James release his hold on Amber. She was gasping for breath. He quickly went to recapture her neck but Logan had come up and grabbed his arms. Dick stood in front of him and grabbed James shoulder. Peter had made his way over and helped restrain James as well. Veronica looked at the scene before her. This was not what she expected. She looked at Mac. 'Mac, get out of here.'

'No. I'm staying.' Dick glanced at Mac. He released his hold on James and went to Logan and grabbed the car keys out of his pocket. Logan looked at him surprised. Dick turned and threw the keys at Mac.

'Go start the car.' He looked at her. She didn't move. 'Go!' She nodded and walked out. Dick went and held onto James once more he was trying very hard to break out of their hold. Veronica looked at Amber, Beth and Claire. They were all clearly scared.

'The deal is on?' Veronica asked Amber and Beth- they nodded. 'Get out of here. And quickly.' They didn't need to be told twice. They started to walk for the door. Amber walked far away from James and then moved towards the door.

'I WILL KILL YOU!' James yelled out at them and Veronica could tell he meant it. They yanked the door open and left. When Veronica heard it shut. She turned her attention to James.

'Calm down.' She said. He looked at her still furious he was about to say something but Veronica interrupted him. 'We aren't letting them go. Trust me; they are going to pay for what they did. But you have to let them go for tonight. If you kill her, nothing good will come out of it. I promise they are going to pay.' She could seem him relax a bit.

'She's telling the truth.' Logan added.

'She is.' Dick chimed in after a few seconds. Veronica walked over to them.

'Let him go.' She said. They were all hesitant. 'Let him go.' She repeated and they did. James stared at her.

'I promise. On Monday they will pay. Now can I trust you two not to inform them of this?'

'Yes.' Peter said. James nodded.

'Good, then act normal. And be at school on Monday.' She looked at them. They nodded once again.

'Let's go.' Peter said. He pulled James towards the door. He didn't really seem all there. They left the room quickly. Veronica sighed. She was so relieved but still so worked up. All of this was very unexpected. Logan stepped forward and then the next thing Veronica knew he had pulled her into a hug. She wrapped her arms around him and rested her head on his chest. He held her tightly. The moment lasted for about thirty seconds when Dick cleared his throat.

'We should go. Mac will be waiting.' Veronica pulled away from Logan. She grabbed his hand and looked at him and then Dick.

'Let's go.' They left the room and the party very quickly.

They had been at Logan's house for awhile now. As soon as they had got there Mac had gone to check that the recordings had gone well. She then began to work on it, extracting what they would need. Veronica recapped the events of the night to Wallace- even though he had heard most of it. Logan was sitting with Duncan- much to Veronica's surprise- he was also recapping the events of the night to him. Dick was sitting with Mac and was helping her out. They had all decided that this would be the last night that they would spend at Logan's house. Dick did very little to hide how happy he was about this.

It was about an hour later when they started to go to bed. Mac was the first to go, she had finished what had needed to be done, eaten, showered and declared that she was exhausted. Duncan was next- he mumbled a general 'Night' to everyone and went to bed. Dick and Wallace followed next; they had settled earlier to play a play station game, which Wallace had just won. They went off arguing about it. Veronica was about to make her way up to her room, but she wanted to see Logan first. He had disappeared about fifteen minutes ago. She checked his room first but he wasn't there. She came back downstairs and began searching for him. She finally found him in the kitchen. He was sitting on one of the counters. She walked in softly and made her way over to him. She placed a hand on his knee.

'Hi.' She said softly. He looked at her and smiled. He then leaned down and kissed her forehead.

'Hi.' He replied. Veronica looked at him. He had a slight bruise under his eye where James had punched him. She then noticed the ice pack lying next to him. She took it and softly placed it under his eye. She felt his hand ran up her arm from her shoulder and rest on top of the hand that had the ice pack. He sighed. She removed the ice pack.

'Does it hurt?' she asked him. He shook his head. She nodded and then went up on her tippy toes and wrapped her arms around his neck. He looked at her and closed the gap between them kissing her softly. Veronica broke away after a few seconds, no longer being able to stand on her tippy toes.

'Lest go to bed.' She said. He didn't argue. He jumped down from the counter and wrapped his hands around her waist; he then kissed her neck softly.

'Yes lets.' He mumbled against her neck. She grabbed one of his hands and they left the kitchen making there way upstairs. Veronica paused once they reached her room. She didn't know what to do. Logan raised his eyebrows.

'Veronica, do you want to stay in your room tonight?'

'No, I do want to get ready for bed and then I'll meet you in your room.' Logan laughed.

'Don't be too long. Please.' He said and walked off towards his room. Veronica entered her room and quickly got ready for bed. She showered quickly and got dressed. She was just about to leave, when she spotted something. It was the jacket Logan had put with her stuff when she was staying with Duncan. She grabbed it and made her way over to his room. Logan was already in bed when she went in. He smiled at her.

'Took you long enough, Mars.'

'Patience isn't a strong point of yours is it, Echolls?' Logan laughed.

'Well that depends, I haven't ripped your clothes off yet. I've been patient with that even though being patient is the last thing I've wanted to do.' Veronica laughed.

'Down boy.' She paused and held out his jacket. 'This is yours.' She said.

'I know.' He replied.

'Why'd you give it to me?' She asked him expectantly. He shrugged his shoulders.

'I…' Veronica noticed that he didn't want to answer but she kept pushing this.

'Come on, Logan. Just tell me. Please.' She said. She looked at him and plead with her eyes she knew that would get him. He sighed.

'I wanted you to have something of mine. Something that would remind you of me. I don't know I just thought, if you had something there of mine, that something in you would register that you could come to me if you needed anything. I didn't want to be completely out of your thoughts and that was my way of still being in them.' Veronica sighed. She placed the jacket on a chair in his room and made her way over to the bed. She climbed in and snuggled against Logan. She rested her head on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her. She was quiet for awhile. Eventually Logan turned the light off. Veronica could hear Logan's breathing deepening.

'Logan.' she said softly.

'Hmmm.' He mumbled.

'Logan, I love you.' Veronica hadn't ever said those words before but she knew that she meant them. She wanted him to know how she really felt. She needed him to know how much he meant to her. He was quiet for a bit, Veronica then felt Logan's hands run up and down her arms.

'I love you too.' He said. Veronica repositioned herself so she could kiss him. The kiss was long and passionate. Everywhere he touched Veronica he left her skin burning. Eventually they broke apart and she settled against him again. Her head rested on his shoulder, his hands were wrapped around her. They fell asleep fairly quickly after that.

The next day Mac, Dick, Wallace and Duncan had left Logan's house fairly early. They all went back to their own places. Mac had left what Veronica needed for Monday. She spent the day with Logan. They had gone out for lunch, went to a park and watched a movie. They had a good time with each other and at some stages couldn't keep their hands off each other.

That night Veronica stayed over at Logan's she was going to go home but it was easier for her to stay there and carry out tomorrow's plan. She also didn't want to leave Logan. They went to sleep that night nervous about Monday. Which came in a matter of hours.

Logan and Veronica got out of their cars and began to walk towards the entrance of Pan high.

'Is it sorted?' Veronica quickly asked Logan.

'Yep. They'll be here soon.' He replied. They made their way into the school and towards the office. There Logan stood outside while Veronica went inside.

'Good morning.' She said to the secretary.

'Morning, what can I help you with?' she replied and stopped what she was doing.

'I have to drop off some files for some students here, if you could tell me where they are?' Veronica then began to list who she needed to find. The secretary had said that she could leave the files with her but Veronica had been adamant that she hand them to the students herself. Eventually the secretary gave in. Revealing the location of James, Peter, Amber and Beth. Veronica left the room.

'Let's go find James first.' She suggested. She followed the secretary's instructions and came to a stop in front of the classroom. She knocked once and entered.

'Sorry to disturb you, sir.' She said to the teacher. 'James is needed at the office.' Veronica noticed James bewildered expression but he immediately got up. The teacher nodded and James stepped outside with Veronica.

'We're just getting Peter and then it'll be over soon.' Veronica said softly to James.

They reached Peter's classroom and this time Logan went in and got him. It was easy to pretend like they were students here so the teachers didn't second guess Veronica and Logan when they said they were needed in the office.

'What's going on?' Peter asked when outside. He nodded at James.

'They're taking them down.' James said to Peter. Veronica nodded. She then intertwined her fingers with Logan's.

'Amber and Beth are in the same class now, you two have to just stay back and watch. Ok?' Veronica said to them. She was very nervous. They didn't question her or try to argue, Peter and James just nodded. They walked off. Logan squeezed her hand when they reached the classroom.

'You ready?' He said.

'Have to be.' She replied. He smiled and gave her a small kiss on the lips.

'See you just now, Mars.' Logan said and walked off.

'Where is he going?' James asked.

'He'll be back. Remember just watch, say nothing.' Veronica said. She then opened the classroom door and walked in there like she owned the place. Everyone looked at her. She caught Amber's eye and turning her head to the side she grinned at her. She then looked at the teacher.

'Sorry about the interruption but this is important.' The teacher was about to say something again but Veronica interrupted her before she could. 'See, I have a debt to settle with two people in this class.' She looked at Amber and Beth. 'They seem to think they could get away with a lot of things-'

'Veronica! Outside now!' Amber interrupted her- she was furious and had stood up. She looked like she wanted to walk towards her. Veronica narrowed her eyes.

'Sit down.' She said harshly. Everyone looked at Amber she hesitated but did. 'I'm here to show everyone who you really are,' she said to Amber, 'and who you really are,' she pointed at Beth. They both stood up at that. 'Sit down!' Veronica said again. Everyone was watching her, even the teacher. No one tried to interrupt her. This time Amber and Beth stayed standing but they didn't move. Veronica looked at them.

'It's too late, Logan already has Sheriff Lamb here…' Veronica looked at James who gave her a small sad smile. 'The only thing left to do is this.' Veronica took out a little tape recorder and pressed play. Suddenly the room filled with James voice yelling at Amber. Then it had Amber's voice confessing to killing Sarah and the others. Then Beth's voice rang out confessing as well. It stopped after that. The room was silent. Everyone was now staring at Amber and Beth. Veronica took a deep breath.

'I wanted to ruin you two because I realized it was the best way to get back at you for murdering those four girls. And you made it easy for me. You care more about your reputations, about who is dating who than anything else. So here we are your reputation destroyed. The truth out. And soon you'll be going to jail. '

Again no one said anything. This time though Amber and Beth both moved towards the door. No one made a move to stop them but no one had too because just then Logan came through the door followed by Sheriff and two other policeman.

'Going somewhere?' Logan asked them.

The policeman began to arrest them.

'Let the others know. Please.' Veronica said to Logan. He nodded and went outside to call Mac, Dick, Duncan and Wallace. Veronica went over and spoke to Sheriff Lamb. Everyone else in the class was still too stunned to say anything. Once Veronica finished speaking to him, James came over to her.

'Thank you.' He said to her softly. 'Thank you for keeping your promise.'

'Don't mention it.' She said. She then walked out to find Logan. He finished his call a few moments later and looked at Veronica. He took her hand and they began to walk out the school. Once outside Logan stopped Veronica and kissed her. He pulled away slightly and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear.

'I can't believe the case is over.' Logan said to her, he almost sounded disappointed. Veronica smiled at him. He then kissed her forehead.

'Don't worry; there'll be more to come.' She said. Logan laughed. He pulled her towards him and they walked away from Pan high making there way back to Neptune high.
