Early Evening - Hearst College

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

After her late class, Veronica headed over to the student union to meet up with Piper. She had a message saying that Piper was running late due to traffic, so she decided to go ahead and order her food since she had missed lunch. She took her tray to a table and sat down, pulling out the syllabus for her class so she could look over it.

Opening her sandwich, she discovered that they had screwed up her order and she left her things on the table while she went up to get her sandwich fixed. A few minutes later she was back and happily eating.

Veronica finished her syllabus, her sandwich and most of her soda and there was still no sign of Piper. Concerned, she bent down to pull her phone out of her bag and started to feel light-headed. Her call forgotten, she sat up and gripped the edge of the table to steady herself. The dizziness seemed to pass, but she was suddenly feeling very warm and a little sleepy. She picked up her bag, put her syllabus away and decided to go outside for some fresh air.

The dizziness returned as she was walking and she decided she should find somewhere to sit down while she waited. Realizing that it was starting to get dark, she headed for her car and figured she'd call Piper once she got there.

She was staggering by the time she hit the garage and she finally started to realize that something was terribly wrong. She managed to pull her keys out of her purse and she was almost to the car when someone hit her from behind. As she was falling, she managed to hit the alarm button and the last conscious thought she had was that she had been drugged.

"Veronica, I need to get you in the car, okay?" Piper said, hoping Veronica understood what she was saying. "But I'm gonna need you to help me out. Can you stand at all?"

"Can try," Veronica whispered, reaching for her friend for support.

"That's good enough for me," Piper assured as she cradled Veronica's head in an attempt to help her to her feet. That's when she realized a clump of Veronica's hair was missing.

She felt a little sick when she discovered the clump of blond hair on the ground beside Veronica, but she wasn't about to lose it now. Helping her friend was her first priority. Piper helped Veronica to her feet and then managed to get her into the backseat.

Once Veronica was in the car, Piper quickly and handwavily secured the hair on the ground. Maybe it could provide a clue as to who had done this.

Then she grabbed Veronica's keys and got behind the wheel. "Okay, Veronica, you have any idea where the nearest hospital is?"

Veronica was fairly near unconsciousness in the back seat. "No hospital," she said firmly. "Home."

"Are you sure?" By now, Piper was already out of the parking lot and on the road. "Just promise me you'll be okay."

She figured talking to Veronica would help keep her conscious.

"Yeah. Was last time." Veronica was definitely slurring her words.

Piper knew what Veronica was talking about and was suddenly very angry. But she tried to remain calm. "Alright then, let's get you home."

There may have been speeding involved.
