--Chapter Four--
"Well, who was it?" Veronica asked.
"I don't know, they hung up" Duncan replied.
'What the hell is Duncan doing with her?' Logan thought to himself as he clenched his phone in his hand. As he heard the crack of plastic that was about to give out he let go and it fell on his passenger seat.
Sure, he told her he wanted her dead, but he was hurt. He didn't mean it. 'How is she supposed to know that, you idiot?' he thought to himself. Veronica was the only thing in this God forsaken town that meant anything to him anymore, but he screwed it up, like he always did and now she was back with Duncan. 'Why'd she have to be so nosey and turn me into the cops?' 'Why didn't she talk to me first?' 'I wouldn't have said anything so stupid if she just trusted me' 'Why didn't she come to me?' 'Why did she go to Duncan?'…
Wallace and Weevil were still standing on the bridge, watching Logan as he paced up and down the bridge.
"I almost feel sorry for the kid" Weevil finally said
Wallace just looked at him with a bewildered look on his face.
"I said ALMOST"
With that, Wallace chuckled under his breath.
"Hey listen, I'm going to go check on Veronica now" Looking down at his watch, he realized he'd been there for almost an hour now. 'Oh, she's going to kill me.' He knew better than to keep Veronica out of the loop for too long.
"Yeah, sounds good – let her know I said to take care of herself and that I'll keep an eye on rich boy over there" pointing to Logan.
"Yeah, thanks." Wallace said as he got back in his car and drove off towards Veronica's apartment. He hit speed dial on his way over to let her know he was coming and that he'd tell her everything once he got there.
"So he was standing on the bridge, drunk!" Duncan exclaimed, exasperated.
They might not have spoken much the last few weeks, but Logan was still his best friend.
"Yeah, but I told Weevil to turn on the radio and they heard the news report, about everything"
"Look at you, Wallace, all grown up and talking to the bad boys by yourself" Veronica mocked.
"Ha. Ha. SO funny."
They all laughed for a moment.
"I should let you get some sleep," Duncan said "Call you tomorrow?"
"Yeah. Thanks for coming over" Veronica smiled
They hugged quickly and Duncan left, leaving Wallace to listen to Veronica's account of the evening's less than joyous events…
----O----oOo----O----
"Wow." He was trying to let all the information he just heard sink in. "So, are you okay?"
"Peachy keen!" Flashing the same cheesy smile that she gave Duncan just a few hours ago.
"Right. Well, is there anything I can do for you? Any favors to ask?" Wallace laughed, trying to lighten the mood. He didn't know how Veronica did it. She could've died tonight, but she's still the same Veronica on the outside.
"Take my refrigerator far, far away! I'm banning it from my kingdom."
"Your wish is my command!"
They stayed up most of the night talking and laughing about different things. Finally, Veronica and Wallace fell asleep on the couch and didn't wake up until they heard pounding at the door.
