lj-cut text"Have you found him"

Veronica sat in one of the chairs at the station. She was worrying her wedding ring, a habit she wasn't sure when she had picked up. Logan was still talking with Lamb.

She closed her eyes and prayed to a god she hadn't believed in since Lilly had been killed, she was not ready to lose her father.

"Veronica? Honey come on we need to go to your house and pick up Backup. While we do that Lamb is gong to put tracers on the phones. Then we'll go home and you can try to get some rest."

"Logan what if-"

"Hey I happen to have it on excellent authority, that Keith MArs doesn't give up. Veronica we're going to do everything to bring him home. I don't care if it cost me every cent I have. Besides you know he isn't going to die until we give him at least two grandchildren."

Veronica smiled at that. "Did you call Wallace?"

"I called everybody, including Weevil. He's checking with the PCHers to see if they know anything. Let's go get Backup and go home. You need to try and get some rest." Logan held out his hand for her to take.

"Okay, Logan?" Veronica said as she took his hand.

"Yeah."

"I'm so glad you're here. You always know how to support me don't you?"

"I just know that the indomitable Veronica Mars needs to lean on others every once in awhile. Besides you need to let it out, and I know you won't ever do that here."

Veronica nodded as she snuggled into Logan's side. "I don't want to go back to bed though."

"All right, then you and I will go home and climb into our big recliner and take a little nap. You have to be at a hundred percent if you're going to want to help your dad. That means you're going to sleep and you're going to eat actual food, not live on caffeine."

Veronica smiled at the firm tone Logan spoke with. She knew what he was saying was right, and that while he might allow her to push herself on this matter, it would only be to a point.

As they left they were surrounded almost immediately by reporters.

Logan held them back with a look. "I'm going to make a statement and then I'm asking you to leave myself and my wife alone, so that we can better help the police. Early this morning my wife and I were informed that the car of my wife's father, Keith Mars was found on the side of the road on the PCH. Keith was not found at this time, nor is there any evidence that he met with foul play. We are going to do everything we can to ensure Keith's safe arrival home. If whoever has him is watching this please, if it's money you want it's a matter only of telling us how much. There is nothing that Veronica and I want more than Keith safely home. I hope you'll assist us in leaving us be so that we can do everything asked of us. The reporters that honor our request will be the first ones we call in the future for any exclusive interviews. Those that don't can consider themselves blackballed, and you all know I can do it." Logan said firmly as he go Veronica in the Rover and than quickly got in his side and sped off.

The reporters were on the phones with their bosses getting instructions on how to handle this newest development.

Within thirty minutes Logan pulled up to their house. Veronica had fallen asleep on the way home. Wallace opened the door to the house and came out to meet them.

Logan, after getting out of his side of the car came around to take Veronica in the house.

"Can I help?" Wallace asked in a low tone.

"Yeah take Backup for a walk on the beach. Did they come to set everything up?"

"Yeah all the lines are tapped. They also tapped your cells to be on the safe side. I had them set up the surveillance in the pool house. I didn't think Veronica would want to be tripping over Lamb."

Logan nodded as he unfastened Veronica's seatbelt. "I'm going to take her into the den so she can get some rest."

"My mom is here she's cooking up a storm, Mac and Parker are helping her. Weevil just arrived and so did Dick. Why don't you lay down with her for a little bit. She'll probably sleep better if you do. Anything happens I'll come and get you right away."

"I'm actually to tired to fight with you. I'll lay down for awhile."

Logan woke up to a darken room, and for a second couldn't understand why he was on the couch instead of wrapped around his wife in their big bed. It all came back to him as he felt Veronica's even breathing on his chest. It took a few minutes for Logan to get out from under her without waking her.

He made his way to their bathroom and quickly took a shower and changed into some fresh jeans and a chocolate long sleeved t-shirt. Logan followed his nose to the kitchen where Alicia had indeed been cooking up a storm.

"Something smells great."

Alicia turned at the sound of his voice. "Logan, how's Veronica?"

"She's still sleeping. If she isn't awake in an hour I'll wake her up. She'd never want to miss out on all this food."

"I just made some tuna and noodles, also a huge pot of Vegetable soup and I made spaghetti. We need to eat to keep our strength up. Keith will have all our heads if we don't take care of each other." Alicia said as she took a cookie sheet of garlic bread out of the oven. "Logan sit down and eat something."

Logan nodded his head as he sat down and put a huge pile of spaghetti on his plate. He'd barely made a dent when he heard a voice behind him.

"I know you aren't eating that all by yourself."

Logan turned and saw a freshly showered Veronica standing there in a pair of jeans and one of his t-shirts. "I thought I'd try to get some food inside ne before you with the hollow leg woke up and finished it all."

Veronica smiled at that, she went over to hug Alicia and Wallace and then sitting down next to Logan made a plate of her own to start digging into. "Has Lamb come in to update us on their progress?"

"Not yet babe." Logan said as he gave her a soft kiss at her temple.

Dick spoke up then, "Jake Kane called, he said to tell you two, that if a ransom demand comes in, he has ten million that will be available to you immediately. You guys just let us know what you want us to do."

"Has Lamb been by the office yet?" Veronica asked.

"No, they are still checking out the car." Logan answered.

"Mac and Dick the best help you can be is to go to my Dad's office, tell me what you find there. There's no one else I trust with my dad's computer than you Mac."

"We're on it."

"My keys-"

Logan interrupted, "You stay and eat, I'll get your keys for Mac." Logan got up to go to Veronica's study, and Dick and Mac followed him.

Weevil came to sit by Veronica and watched her as she devoured the food on her plate. "I checked with everyone I know. The PCHers knew nothing about this. They are also looking into the River Styx to make sure the Fitzpatricks aren't involved."

Veronica put down her fork, "You mean this could be about me?"

"No that is not what I said. If it was about you, they would have come after you already, they wouldn't have waited this long, and they wouldn't have gone after your dad first. They would have gone after Logan. That is why I don't think it's them. But I'm going to keep my ears open and I'll check in as soon as I know anything more. You let white boy take care of you okay?"

"Okay." Veronica nodded as she picked up her fork again.

Logan came back in as Weevil left, since they spoke for a moment in hushed tones Veronica knew Weevil was updating Logan with the same information.

Logan came back and began to wolf down his own food.

Since Veronica had finished, she went to put the dishes in the dishwasher. "Thanks for cooking Alicia I appreciate it. You know you guys are welcome to stay. We have plenty of room."

Alicia smiled, "I'd like that."

Just then Lamb came in. "Veronica we found something in your Dad's car."
