She hears it too, right around the same time Veronica Lodge steps out of her room (sheâs usually awake way past Veronicaâs usual bed time), and it prompts her to stop typing her report on her government issued laptop. Quietly, and immediately, she reaches for the handgun holstered to her waist nearly at all times, makes sure itâs loaded, with a click just when Sawyerâs arm makes contact with Veronicaâs chest, stopping her in her tracks. Her voice drops to a whisper and she shakes her head. â Its okay. Iâll check it out. You should stay here, away from the windows...âÂ
And from danger entirely. She knows exactly who sheâs protecting and why sheâs here ââ Veronica is the daughter of now, one of the FBIâs most wanted crime lords in the country, Hiram Lodge and in exchange for her testifying in front of a judge, surely to put him away for good, sheâs been issued a protection detail. â ââ and keep your head down.â She cocks the gun, and quietly makes her way to the front door, watching cautiously as the shadow of someoneâs feet casts onto the lit carpet, so she points the gun forward, and walks to the side of the door away from the crack, to look through the peephole.Â
