Veronica thought that after Lily's murder was solved everything would go back to normal. Back to her perfect life and it was starting to look like that too. Her father was safe and she got her Logan back, but this was Neptune and nothing is normal especially in her life. It can never be perfect again no matter how much she tries or how many cases she solve.

Veronica looks down at the headstone and reread it for what seems like the hundredth time willing for the words that was etched on the smooth black marble to change LOGAN ECHOLLS BELOVED SON AND MOST TREASURED FRIEND written in golden letters. When Lily died all of the 09ers didn't know how they could move on but they've tried but now with Logan gone everyone just seems to shut down. Dick doesn't talk anymore only when talked to and Duncan he doesn't talk at all. As for her she doesn't do the whole PI thing anymore she just doesn't have the energy for it these days. Heaving another deep sigh and wiping the tear tracks on her face she traced his name one more time before turning to leave and head for her car.

She was walking to her car when her phone rang and without even looking at whose calling her she pressed end and drops the phone in her bag. It was either her father or Wallace checking up on her again to see if she's okay or if she's still alive. They worry that she may want to join Logan in the afterlife and with the way things are going with her life and around it right now that idea seems to appeal to her more and more.

Looking around the cemetery she saw that there were only two people around an old woman sitting on a small chair looking at a tombstone in front her and a few steps away is a man with his back turned. She wonders whom they've lost and for how long. With the old woman it must've been a long time since she lost whoever it was since she seems relax and doesn't appear to still be grieving. Turning her attention to the man he was now facing her way and she felt all the air leave her and she was having trouble breathing but she managed to choke out a whispered "Logan" before everything went black.

-O-

She felt someone carrying her and hears a voice, a woman tells her in a calming voice "You're going to be okay dear". She tried to open her eyes but they feel so heavy that she only managed to open it for a second but it was enough to make her smile a little. "Logan" she says quietly then let darkness claim her again.

-O-

When she comes to for the second time she saw that she was in the backseat of a car and that her head was resting on the old lady from earlier who seems to be sleeping.

"Glad you awake"

Turning her head to the front seat she couldn't believe it he was back just like he promised. Scrambling to sit up she squeezed in between the front sit and threw herself at him "LOGAN!"

"Woah lady hold on"

She buried her face on his neck "I've missed you"

"Wait" he said holding on to her shoulders and pushing her a little "I think you've hit your head a little too hard but gramps said" nodding his head to the old lady still sleeping in the backseat "that you were okay and that you'll come to eventually. I think we should get you to the hospital or something"

"Logan its me"

"Okay first of all why do you keep calling me Logan, second I don't know you and third you may want to take a seat over there" gesturing to the passenger seat.

"But Logan-"

"Trust me you don't want to be this close to me"

Veronica got off of him and transferred to the other seat but her hands were still gripping his. "don't you remember me?"

"should I?"

"Logan-"

"I think you got me confused with someone else. My names Josef Kostan"

"No no no" shaking her head "your Logan"

"Lady-"

"Veronica"

"Okay Veronica …I'm Josef"
