Veronica Mars - the TV series: Chekhov's Gun (Kindle Worlds Novella)

"You know what Chekhov said about the gun in act one? If it’s visible on stage, it must go off by the third act. I used to think he was just being dramatic; now I wonder if he was on to something. The third act was a long time coming. But come it would."

Ever wonder how Veronica Mars knows about the random locker searches before Vice Principal Clemmons? It only seems like she’s psychic.

Neptune is a small town, especially if you’re a dog walker. There’s really only one place to go: Dog Beach. It’s no surprise Veronica and Backup run into Deputy Sacks and Buster now and then. What didn’t make sense was why Sacks would go to anyone else when he lost his pistol somewhere out in the not quite pristine sands of Dog Beach.

This 14,000-word story is set during the week before Veronica’s junior year at Neptune High begins, just prior to the pilot episode of Veronica Mars.

"I thought that was the third act, but Jerry Sacks’ gun hadn't gone off yet, not really. One day it would. Lamb would be there, too."
