The Rooftop

Veronica's still shaken as she steps off the elevator - Aaron Echolls just has that kind of effect on people - but she forces herself to shrug it off. There are more important matters at hand, like making sure Mac is safe, and that Beaver doesn't hurt anyone else.

"Mac!"

Grimly, she realizes that her next hurdle will be convincing Lamb of the truth. It's not going to be easy, especially with her dad away and Woody - such an obvious suspect - already in custody. But Lamb will have to listen, won't he? Especially after she shows him the photograph, and brings in Hart...

"Mac!"

It would be hard to ignore such evidence, even for Lamb. If questioned, with Woody around, maybe a confession would even...

Why...

Why would Mac ask to meet on the roof...?

It's quiet up here, and very dark, and suddenly Veronica feels a chill.

"Mac...?"

(no subject)

Elsewhere, right now, there's a party. Veronica knows that most of her classmates headed over right away - Mac's there, Logan, Gia, Dick - and she'll join them eventually. But for now, she's at home, taking one more opportunity to pour over the Junior Sharks team photos.

One of these boys is the third victim, edited out of the audio tape that had been sent to Woody Goodman. He's the third one who was molested. And unlike the other two, he's still alive. He's a witness, a clue. With his help, there will be evidence enough to put Woody away for murder.

But Veronica has to find him, first.

When the phone rings, she already knows who's calling.

"You caught him."
