Chapter 26

Scene opens where we left off. Logan and Veronica are lying exhausted and mostly naked on a bed at the Camelot Motel. Their voices are tired and relaxed. Languorous now that they had worked the adrenalin out of their systems.
Veronica: (pressing into his side) I can’t believe we just had sex at the Camelot. At this rate, I will have a 14 on my purity test score.
Logan: (hand running lazily up and down her back) I doubt it, if you had a 14 that test would have to allow for negative scores for someone like me.
Veronica: I’ll ask Mac if there is a version of the test that could work for you.
Logan: Mac? (eyebrows furrowed) So Mac was the one behind the test, and the subsequent selling of the tests.
Veronica: You didn’t hear it from me.
Logan: (kissing her lightly) Your secret is safe.
Reluctantly she sits up.
Veronica: We should get going. Ben could be back at any time.
Logan: (sitting up too, hard tone) Going where? Home?
Veronica: (sighing) Logan.
Logan: No Veronica. Absolutely not going to happen.
Veronica: (pulling on her clothes) Um, I still don’t remember asking you for permission.
Logan: Veronica.
Veronica: We had this conversation before we even started dating Logan. You can either deal with my life, including my work, or you can move on.
He gives her a dirty look. She finishes getting dressed and turns to see him tugging his shirt over his head.
Logan: Actually, there are many more options available to me.
She rolls her eyes and walks towards the door. She tries to open it but Logan reaches over her head and leans on the door with one hand, keeping her in the room unable to open the door against the counter force of his weight.
Veronica: Move.
She doesn’t turn around.
Logan: (ignoring her) For one, I could keep you in here for hours. (sexy tone, words spoken into her ear) In fact, I bet I could make you forget you ever wanted out of this room.
Face flushed, eyes hot, she spins around and pushes his chest firmly, forcing him to step back but he captures her hands, still holding her prisoner.
Veronica: Let go.
Logan: (ignoring her) Or I could carry you out of here over my shoulder and lock you up in a more sanitary environment.
Veronica: Logan.
Logan: (ignoring her) I could call your Dad. Let him in on your little plan. How much do you think he’d like me then? (smiles) I’m guessing a lot.
Veronica: (stubborn, annoyed look) Threatening to tattle on me again?
Logan: (casual shrug) Why not, it worked the first time.
She searches his face to see how stubborn he is going to be about this. Seeing his resoluteness, she rolls her eyes.
Veronica: I said ‘we’ Logan. You can come too. But I am going. Whether you like it or not.
He studies her face now, and knows that the second she gets away from him she’ll do exactly what she wants, damn the consequences.
Logan: Fine. You wear one of those bug thingies.
Veronica: Bug thingies?
Logan: Two way radio. I can hear everything where you are and you can hear me. If I tell you to leave and you aren’t outside in 15 seconds, I come in after you. Take it or leave it.
Veronica: Fine. (muttering, annoyed expresssion) Stupid, overprotective jackass.
Logan: (smiling) Let’s go. Stubborn, reckless Nancy Drew wannabe.
She glares at him before storming down the stairs to her car.
Logan: (smiling sweetly, following closely) Oh Sugarpuss, if you try to ditch me, or in any way try to do this on your own, I will be talking to your Dad.
She scowls, having turned to face him as he spoke, and he thinks he hears a growl from her as she turns to walk away from him, but he grabs her arm and spins her around, sweeping her off her feet into his arms and kissing her hard. When he sets her down her eyes are soft and languid, hot, but with lust now not anger.
Logan: See you at your office.
-----------------------------
Parked outside of Norris Clayton’s house Veronica adjusts the bug in her hear and shows Logan how to work his so he can talk to her. She takes a deep breath and exits the Xterra parked one house down from Norris’s. Closing the door she has only taken a few steps when she hears Logan’s voice in her ear.
Logan: I wanted to ask you before we did that.
Veronica: (stopping, turning her head to see Logan is looking at her through the window) Did what?
Logan: Going down on you. I meant to ask first.
She smiles slowly and turns back to walk up the short front walk to the house.
Veronica: I’m kind of glad you didn’t. I would have been nervous and probably would have said no, and never known what I was missing.
She can hear Logan’s breath hiss in at her words.
Inside the Clayton home. Veronica thanks Norris for his help, since her dad has been having a lot of trouble with a stolen weapons case. Veronica is visibly nervous as Norris unlocks the large padlock on his bedroom door, he explains it away, saying his parents are nosy. In his room, there are multiple ancient weapons. Veronica gives him the photos of weapons she says she needs info on, while she looks around.
Norris: Do you, uh, wanna sit down?
Logan: (off-screen) No sitting. You can run out of there faster if you’re on your feet.
Veronica: (low, muttering into the mic) Can it.
Norris: What?
Veronica: Are you kidding? (smiles) I wanna look at these weapons. They’re so pointy.
She sees that he has a wireless connection. Norris says his dad works at Kane Software so they get all of the latest technology.
Logan: (off-screen) Great. A technology savvy psycho.
Veronica goes to look for a weapon that seems to have fallen in order to really try to find something incriminating, instead she finds a porn magazine featuring small blondes. Her eyes widen and she stuffs it back under his bed.
Veronica Voiceover: Great! I’m his type.
Norris realizes that he might have things that he doesn’t want her to see and should stop her from poking around. He turns to look at her.
Norris: Ah, actually, don’t even worry, I’ll find it later.
Veronica Voiceover: Maybe he keeps his arsenal in the garage. So how do I get into the garage without playing dungeon with this whack job?
Veronica picks up a throwing star from a bookshelf.
Norris: Uh, you ever throw one?
Veronica: Can’t say that I have.
Norris: I got a target in the garage if you wanna try it.
Veronica Voiceover: Huh. That was easy. I think it, it happens. I wonder if that would work on Logan too?
Logan: (off-screen) I’ll make you a deal. You get out of there in less than 15 minutes and I’ll do anything you want. Egg rolls for a week? Done. Your choice of sexual positions. Name it.
Veronica: (words intended for both Logan and Norris) Sounds like we have a deal.
Veronica smiles and nods. Norris is thrilled by her interest. Cut to Logan in the Xterra, he looks more worried that thrilled. Cut to the garage. Veronica is poised to throw the star.
Veronica: Detention? Me? I think not, Mr. Clemmons.
She throws. The star hits the hand of a target.
Logan: (off-screen) Are you playing make believe with the psycho now? Your 15 minutes are winding down. Get out of there.
Veronica: Try filling out that form left-handed. How come these are rubber?
Norris: Um, they’re just for practice. Next time, I’ll let you try a real one.
Veronica Voiceover: Am I crazy or is bomb boy flirting with me?
Logan: (off-screen, growing frustration, anger, and fear) There’s not going to be a next time.
Veronica: (deliberately keeping her voice casual and relaxed, hoping it calms Logan) No question about it, the Japanese have the coolest weapons.
Veronica spots a chest at the side of the garage and opens it without asking.
Veronica: Shall I just put these in here?
Scarily approaching her, Norris looms over her.
Norris: No, you can just hand them back to me.
Logan: (off-screen, tense) Or you could stab him with whatever toy you’re playing with and put us all out of our misery.
Norris: (happily) My dad said that if I keep my grades up, I can tour Japan this summer. You know there’s a Kurosawa retrospective over at the Paragon this weekend. You think, maybe you’d like to go?
Logan: (off-screen, intense) Tell him no Veronica, you have other plans. Like not being able to walk, cause I’m not going to let you out of my sight for several days at least, and to keep busy during all that enforced you and me time, I’m going to fuck you so hard and often that you’ll be in bed all day Saturday until I get back. Then I’m going to start all over again.
Veronica stares at Norris wide eyed as Logan’s words feed directly into her ear and cause her blood to heat up.
Norris: They’re showing his films Friday night and all day Saturday. They’ve got Rashomon, Yojimbo, Ran, Throne of Blood, and Seven Samurai.
Logan: (off-screen, sexy voice) You're going to be too busy riding my long hard shaft, because baby one minute around you and my cock starts to twitch in anticipation of being buried inside of you. First, I'm gonna pound into you so hard you won't be able to remember what it feels like to not have me there. Then, I’m going to explore every inch of your body until you are withering under me.
Veronica flushes pink and looks startled.
Norris: Throne of Blood is actually a rework of MacBeth. But if you’re not familiar with his films you should definitely see Seven Samurai. The action is great, but it’s really his attention to all the details….
Logan: (off-screen) I will show you no mercy. I’m going to go so slow that you will beg me to let you come, you’ll beg won’t you Veronica? You’ll scream for me to fuck you harder. Before we’re done, I'm gonna make you scream my name until it’s the only word you know. Once you’re lying spent and satisfied under me, I’m going to start all over again. And I promise there will be nothing gentle about it, just a long...hard...satisfying...FUCK!
Norris: (on Veronica’s wide eyed stare) It’s cool. It can just be like…a friends thing.
Logan: (off-screen) You won’t be able to put yourself in stupid situations for a while, because the only thing you’re going to be able to do is hold onto me and beg me for more.
Norris: I thought you and Echolls might be broken up or something, you didn’t talk to him all day today.
Logan: (off-screen, breaking off his highly descriptive narrative, seething) He was watching you? Get out of there now Veronica, or I’m coming in after you. You have 15 seconds. 15. 14. 13.
Veronica: Uh, we just had a disagreement, we’re still together.
Logan: (off-screen) 9 . 8. 7.
Norris: (disappointed) Oh.
Outside Norris's home.
Logan: 2. 1.
He stops and sucks in a breath seeing Veronica exit the front door. Veronica hurries down the brick walkway and climbs into the Xterra. Logan turns his head to look at her his eyes hot, but his face is not sensual in expression, it’s scared, angry, and tense. Her expression falls seeing it, and she opens her mouth.
Veronica: Logan.
Logan: I don’t want to hear it.
He swoops across the consol between the seats and pulls her mouth to him with a firm hand behind her neck. His lips push her mouth open, his tongue sweeping into her mouth in unquestioned domination. She acquiesces leaning in closer to him her hands sliding up his chest to hold onto the zippered edges of his jacket. Wanting more, needing to touch her to reassure himself that she’s real, she’s safe and she’s here with him, he drags her into his lap. Their mouths break apart and they gasp in deep breaths of air as his lips move to her neck and she tilts her head for better access. When she feels his hands at her waist, sliding over the soft skin there, she protests, her hands grabbing his, stopping him.
Veronica: Logan, someone will see.
He tilts his head up to meet her eyes, his still burning with intensity.
Logan: I wasn’t going to…(smiles) but if you want to, maybe in the back seat. (wink) The windows are tinted. (dropping the teasing tone, vulnerable) I just need to touch you.
She relaxes her hands allowing his to smooth over her skin, causing her muscles to tremble and jerk under his touch. Her hands slip behind his head stroking his neck and sliding through his hair soothingly.
Veronica: I’m fine Logan, I really don’t think…
She breaks off when his hands skim up her ribcage, his thumbs caressing teasingly over the under curve of her breasts.
Logan: You don’t think that you were in danger.
Veronica: (face soft, voice reassuring) I’m fine Logan.
Logan: You got kidnapped at gun point Veronica.
Veronica: By a federal age….
Logan: (interrupting, his hands still skimming over her chest while his eyes caress over her face) By a federal douchebag, then you go visit the home of a Columbine wannabe.
Veronica: I don’t think Norris is dangerous Logan.
Logan doesn’t respond, just kisses her again, this time soft and slow. Her body melts into his as she gives herself over to his touch and his heat.
Several minutes later she is back in her own seat and Logan is slightly less tense.
Logan: Tell me again why we’re not heading back to my house right now so I can lock you up in the panic room?
Veronica has her laptop in her lap and pulls down a drop down menu.
Veronica: Because I don’t want to be in the panic room, and I need to be within 100 feet of the house to access their wireless network.
Logan: I have wireless at home Veronica. You can search the internet from the safety of my bedroom. One good idea Norris had, to pad lock his door. I might copy him. But on the inside to keep you in.
Veronica: First kidnapping, now unlawful imprisonment. You interested in a felony charge?
Logan: (smirks) I make my own rules and rule number one is keeping you safe.
She pulls her phone out of her bag and dials Mac.
Mac: (off screen) Hello?
Veronica: Hey, Mac, it’s me. I need you to walk me through something.
Cut to Mac lying on her bed with John Enbom. They are both fully clothed, but rumpled. John rolls to the side and groans. Mac shoots him a look that silently demands he be quiet. The camera switches between the two couples.
Mac: What did you ever do before you met me?
Veronica: Ever see the first ten minutes of “2001: A Space Odyssey”? It was a lot like that.
Mac smiles but does not respond, too busy trying to capture Enbom’s wandering hands.
Veronica: (explaining further) Monkeys clubbing each other-
Mac: No, I…I got it.
She shifts onto her side and pushes him off the bed with her feet. He makes an audible thump when he hits the floor.
Veronica: You ok Mac?
Mac: (smiling) Yep.
John glares at her from the floor then crawls back onto the bed in an exaggerated way. Mac smiles and tries to pull back from his approach. He grabs her foot and runs his fingers over it, but she doesn’t laugh, shaking her head at him.
Enbom: (low so as not to be overheard) Everyone is ticklish somewhere Mac, I will find it.
Veronica: (smiling widely now, having heard a male voice in the background) Ok.
Veronica mimes to Logan to call Enbom. He smirks and pulls out his phone.
Mac: What did you need Veronica?
Veronica: If you were planning the Apocalypse on a Friday, would you ask someone out on a date for that weekend?
Mac: Me? That’s the only way I’d ask someone out.
John pouts, and Mac tries to protect herself from his attempts to tickle her. His phone starts ringing and Mac’s eyes grow wide. She gestures to him to get his phone and shut it off.
Veronica: (grinning) What’s that, Mac-attack?
Mac: Um, a video game of my brother’s, he’s been driving me crazy.
Veronica: Really? Cause it sounds like Enbom’s ring tone.
Mac: Ah, um…
Enbom clicks his phone off and takes Mac’s phone from her.
Enbom: Hi Veronica. How’s Logan doing? Hey, I might need to hire you this week to find out why my girlfriend doesn’t want her friend to know I’m at her house.
Mac just stares at him.
Veronica: Sure, no problem, but I will have to charge you the going rate.
Logan: Oh, come on Veronica, you can at least give him the friends and family rate.
John smiles and Mac moves closer to him as he switches the call to speaker phone.
Veronica: Ok, fine the friend of a friend rate. Take it or leave it.
John: I’ll take it.
Veronica: Great, that’ll be $35 or buy lunch for the group. Mac’s not embarrassed of you she’s just private, and she’s not your girlfriend unless you’ve had the official conversation about that. (rolls her eyes) Yes I know, it’s a girl thing. But you have to ask you can’t assume. You can pay me tomorrow. Now put Mac back on.
Logan grins. Mac is solemn, and John looks at her closely as he hands the phone back over.
Mac: Thanks for that Veronica. I should have installed a backdoor to your computer while I had it. Leverage to keep you from embarrassing me.
Veronica sees Pete, heading for the house next door to N
Mac: (off screen) Veronica?
Pete turns and spots Veronica. Logan sees her eyes on the skinny nerd, and looks at her.
Mac: (off screen) Earth to Mars.
Logan: Who’s that?
Pete waves and Veronica gives a small wave back. She is thinking.
Mac: (off screen) Dude, where’d you go?
Pete enters his house.
Veronica: Oh sorry, right.
She tells Mac she needs her to look at the web site and find out who posted it.
The girls hang up. John is still watching Mac closely. Mac tries to act casual under his stare, moving to her computer. He follows her and turns her around in the chair, dropping to his haunches to be at eye level with her.
John: Was she right?
Mac shrugs.
John: So, all I have to do is ask you?
Mac: Not really ask, but yeah, we should talk about it.
John: (smiling) So Mac…
Mac: Veronica is scary. Not just revenge happy, I carry a tazer scarey, but, like…
John: (smiling larger) Yeah, she really is. Now stop interrupting me. So Mac…
Mac: (shifting uncomfortably) Do we really have to do this?
John: (grinning) Apparently. So Mac…
Mac: Fine yes, God. I’d like to be your girlfriend. Geeze. Are we done yet?
He bursts out laughing, then looks at her seriously.
John: I really like you.
Mac: You’d better. I can make your live a living hell, and that’s before Veronica starts with you.

He kisses her.
