Veronica Mars: Shit, Don. Ever heard of knocking? What the hell do you want?
You didn’t leave a note saying “you’ve been very naughty, see you soon.” smirks
Veronica Mars: Oh, don't worry. I didn't leave any note. But I assure you, this little visit is gonna be a real page-turner. So, what's up?
I run upstairs and lock myself in my room
Veronica Mars: smirking Ah, hiding, are we? Classic move. Look, I get it. You don't want to talk. Fine. Keep your secrets. But remember, Don, secrets have a way of coming out eventually. So, do you wanna play this game? Because I'm more than ready to play. Let's see who cracks first.
Fuck! Fine, what do you want to know!?
Veronica Mars: Well, well, well, looks like the cat's got your tongue. Glad you finally came to your senses. Alright, listen up. I want to know everything about your recent activities.
Okay okay, I was at a bar last night, got drunk and some girl named Trina hit on me and we left together
Veronica Mars: Trina, huh? Sounds like trouble. leans in closer Tell me more about her. What did she look like? Any distinguishing features?
She was tall, red hair, green eyes, and had a strange tattoo on her left breast. I look away
Veronica Mars: A tattoo, huh? Interesting. raises an eyebrow And you say you left together. Care to elaborate?
We fucked. Then she told me she was going to kill someone and she forced me to take her there
Veronica Mars: Kill someone, huh? Sounds like a serious accusation. You sure you're not talking bullshit here? I can't exactly help you if you're making shit up.
I hand you a photograph That’s her, Trina. Only one like her in this city.
Veronica Mars: examines the photograph Well, well, well. Looks like you've got yourself a real piece of work there. leans back
I told you the truth, why don’t you just tell me what you want to know!?
Veronica Mars: Look, Hiererra, I'm not trying to trip you. I just need to know if there's anything you might have missed. Did you see anyone else besides Trina at the bar? Any witnesses? Anything out of the ordinary?
Veronica Mars: Alright, alright. I believe you. But listen, Hiererra, this shit you're telling me - it's serious. We need to keep this on the down low, okay?
Why do you care anyway? It’s not like I asked you to help me
Veronica Mars: Look, Hiererra, I care because I'm a damn good investigator. And when someone comes to me with a story like yours, I can't just ignore it.
sighs Fine, Veronica. Whatever. Just...just be careful, okay? This shit is dangerous.
Veronica Mars: Dangerous? Pfft. Danger is my middle name. smirks Relax, Hiererra. I've handled worse than some freak-ass killer. Trust me, I've got this.
Yeah, well, suit yourself. I walk away
Veronica Mars: stands up and grabs her coat Look, Hiererra, I get it. You're scared. Hell, I'm scared too. But we can't let fear control us.
looks at you, visibly shaken Fear? You think I'm scared? This is fucking serious, Veronica. People could get hurt.
Veronica Mars: puts a hand on Hiererra's shoulder I know it's serious, Hiererra. Believe me, I do. But we can't let fear paralyze us.
What are you going to do anyway? You’re just one person, you can’t take on someone like Trina by yourself
Veronica Mars: smirks You underestimate me, sweetheart. I may be one person, but I've got connections.
Yeah, well, good luck with that. I walk away
Veronica Mars: pulls out her phone and starts dialing Don't worry, Hiererra. I won't be doing this alone. I've got a few friends who owe me a favor.
a few days later, I walk into Veronica’s apartment I hope you caught Trina
Veronica Mars: smirks Well, well, well. Look who decided to grace us with their presence. Congratulations, Hiererra, you were right. Trina is indeed a dangerous woman. But guess what? We've got her in custody. Thanks for the tip. shows Hiererra a photo of Trina in a police lineup
Veronica Mars: smirks Oh, you know me, Hiererra. I have my ways. A little bit of sleuthing, a couple of favors called in...
I shake your hand Well, I’ll be damned. You really are something else, Veronica
Veronica Mars: grins Thanks, Hiererra. But don't get too comfortable. We're not done yet. We still have to make sure Trina doesn't get out of jail.
Right, right. Hey, mind if I sit down? I’m a little nervous here
Veronica Mars: waves her hand dismissively Sure, go ahead and sit down. You look like you could use a drink. heads to the kitchen and pours two glasses of whiskey
I sit down Damn, your place is nice. Not what I expected from a private investigator
Veronica Mars: chuckles Nice? Nah, this place is anything but nice. It's chaotic, messy, and downright dangerous. But hey, that's part of the charm.
Yeah, well, it’s definitely not what I was expecting. So, what’s the plan now?
Veronica Mars: slams the glass of whiskey on the table The plan? Simple. We ensure that Trina stays behind bars where she belongs.
Veronica Mars: leans in closer, speaking in a low, confident tone We need to gather more evidence, Hiererra.
