Can I just avoid this conversation all together? 'Cause that would be nice.

Jan 13, 2006 04:17

To say I wasn't really looking forward to this conversation with my dad was more than an understatement. There was no way this was going to go well. No way he was going to be happy or even act like it for my sake.

It's going to be all panic and ulterior motives. I know this. Because he doesn't trust his idea of who Logan is. Not who Logan actually ( Read more... )

I smiled over to Veronica on the couch as I closed the door and slipped my coat off to hang up. "Hey, Honey." I could smell the chicken she was cooking in the air as I headed over towards the living room, kissed her forehead and settled into the comfy chair nearby her.

"I had a good day. That bail jumper I caught was finally prosecuted. Relief having that over with," I told her with a small smile. "But, I'm excited to hear about your dad. How's the crumbling infrastructure? You know, other than still crumbling?"

Wasn't she supposed to find out about the Kane scholarship today? That had been one of the thoughts through the day, other than the other few curious ones that had been brought up when searching though the case we have currently open on Logan Echolls. Yes, there was a case, but with some of the things that continued to worry me, that case just worried me more about him.

"I didn't get a chance to call the school today about the scholarship," I lead her into the conversation.

"Still crumbling. More so than usual today if you ask me." I commented. "But I'm glad you had a good day." He was in such a good mood. I really didn't want to totally obliterate that with what I had to tell him.

I took a breath when he brought up the scholarship. "That's probably a good thing really, because somehow it ended up going to Madison Sinclair of all people." I told him, "Believe me, you should be glad you weren't me in the centre of all the rumours that started swirling around after the announcement." That was so much fun, to just sit and listen and not say a word to anyone who was determined to believe Duncan somehow rigged things so that I wouldn't get that money. He's hurt, sure, but I still don't think he's that spiteful ( ... )

I gave a heavy sort of sigh as the words 'it ended up going to Madison Sinclair' - I would have told her than things would be okay and that we'd find some sort of way to pay for her going to college, but she seemed to have that taken care of. Not only that, but her day sounds difficult and that's disheartening. I know school and socializing has been different since we've changed, but still... I hope to god things aren't going back as the way they were.

"Look, I know you're not going to be even remotely happy about this on so many levels, but I've got plenty of money for school now, trust me."I couldn't help but let a breathy laugh escape from my lips as I glanced up towards her in confusion. "You didn't rob that bank, Honey, did you? Because I told you, you'll get caught for doing something like that ( ... )

"The rumours today were mostly because of me and Duncan, dad. Nothing you did, promise." I pointed out quietly when I saw that worry flash in his eyes for a moment. Like I really cared what those people had to say about me? Not anymore. At least I knew who my real friends were and who only talked me when they needed something ( ... )

I sighed, "You know that Lamb is our best bet when going to anyone. C'mon, Veronica, Vinnie would have found whomever's after Logan and made them pay double to use that evidence to lock the boy up. Lamb maybe be a horrible addition to that station, but it's his duty to actually solve these crimes. He's not going to go after Logan unless there's substantial evidence against him. What we gave him is going to make him wonder."

"He does, on occasion do things right and he's our only resource right now." I said pointedly.

She had to know that it was the truth. What else were we really supposed to do? Taking the case was too dangerous so we had to give it to the next best person. The only who, I hoped, would actually attempt to do something about it.

"Unless Logan has something really against him there's no reason Lamb should be going after him. He'll be fine."

"We're dealing with the same man who had crime scene photos of the sneakers Abel Koontz supposedly had on his boat being in Lilly's room the night of the murder, and yet Koontz still ended up on death row. The same one who hauled me in for questioning after Curly Moran washed up on the beach. We've made more progress on the bus crash than he has. Yeah, he's solving crimes alright." My voice was dripping with sarcasm and I knew it, but Lamb? Wasn't doing his job. I still couldn't figure out how it was he managed to get re-elected ( ... )
