Logan stood in shock his eyes clutched tight, they flung open as he surveyed his surroundings. Tiffany had the gun still in her hands it pointed up and in his direction. The barrel was smoking and she was shaking violently yet she couldn't get her arms to go down.

He looked beside him, Kendall was on the ground a deep red hole in her chest, she wasn't moving. Veronica regained mobilization and ran over to Logan throwing her arms around him. "Oh baby" she cried as he pulled her closer breathing her in. O how he has missed this.

Tiffany snapped out of her catatonic state and looked down at the gun in her hand then over at Logan. "I gotta….I gotta…I gotta go." She walked over to the car teetering a bit. She got over to Duncan and tried to get the keys from him he was resistant. She shook harder now and tears began to fall as she pulled back. Just to launch forward her fist slamming it into his face. He tumbled back dropping the keys. She grabbed them and ran over to the driver's side.

"I'm so sorry" she sobbed speeding out of the driveway.

Veronica pulled out her cell phone and dialed the three digit number she knew so well. "There has been a shooting, we need an ambulance!" she screamed into the phone.

(Three months later)

They walk through the crowded halls of the school, They tracked down a Liluna Pettersona 19 year held back senior finishing her last year of high school,she was number 12 on the long list of people and places Tiffany might be. After over 3 months of searching they had finally found her. Well at least they hoped.Richsuburban town of Poway just outside of San diego. It was close and they thought it would be too risky for her tobe so close. But they had totry, they had beenlooking for months.They walked into the huge open quad and out at the passing students.

"Lilu!" a girl yelled walking up to another girl with long red hair pulled back in a french braid. "So we clubbing tonight?" she asked innocently.

"If by clubbing you mean me staying at home and watching TV in my PJ's then yes" the other responded. The voice woke Logan up a bit. He turned tapped Duncan's shoulder they turned around the two girls had their back to them and they listened to the conversation.

"Will you snap out of it, god ever since you came back from interning in Neptune you have been one sour puss." She laughed tugging playfully on the redheads arm. "This is about that guy isn't it? That Dillon"

"Unlike you not everything in my life revolves around guys, and it was Duncan."

"Right, o my little Lilu was in love" she joked.

"Fuck off I don't do love" she snapped.

"Penny does not have to be the only person in your life, you can love more then one person." She said silently.

"Yeah well she is the only one I need" she said.

"Tiffany" Duncan yelled, Veronica jerked around to see what the other two had been watching. The girl looked up a look of horror splashed across her face. She turned on her heel dropped her bag and began sprinting down the hallway. Duncan and Logan began after her.

She got to the field and ran across Duncan was on her heel but not quite fast enough. "Track team 3 years, gotta love it baby" she screamed over her shoulder jumping over a hurdle set up in the middle of the field. She turned the corner and Logan grabbed her arm. "Dammit I forgot Tweedle-Dumb" she smirked to herself trying to hide the pounding of her heart.

Veronica caught up and we walked her over into a corner, and Logan let go.

"You can come out now, olly olly oxen free" she said looking around calling out. "come on Lamb, please tell me you pulled your head out of your ass. Common I will make it easy for you" she yelled leaning against the wall and spreading her legs, and placing her hands on the back of her head in an arrest position.

"What the hell are you talking about" Logan asked.

"What no police I am so ashamed at the Neptune Police force, you would think they could find Kendall's killer by now." She said.

"Kendall is not dead" Duncan stated.

"ohm…. Good" she said swallowing the lump that formed in her throat. She put on a fake smile turning around. The fear was overpowering her bright green eyes.

"She is in prison, it seems she killed a bunch of guys, she tried to name someone who helped but they didn't believe her, and Tiffany Palmer never existed." Logan said with a smile.

"So what you guys came to pull me back to Neptune, tell the police that I was the hidden accomplice." She asked with a dry humorless laugh.

"No I came to check out all the fine hunnies" Logan said, Veronica gave him a swat on the back of the head.

"You have been hanging out with Wallace way too much" she laughed.

"Duncan came to tell you something" Logan smirked putting Duncan on the spot.

Duncan glared at him and walked closer to Tiffany or Lilu they weren't sure what to call her. He took her hand and looked at her with such serious eyes, opening his mouth.

And was interrupted by the sound of her ring tone. She pulled out her silver cell phone and threw it open. "Lilu here" she stated into the phone.

"Dad calm down…… she's where? O my god….I will be right there" she said slamming the phone down and running back onto the field. They ran after her.

"What's wrong?" Duncan asked concerned by the horrified look on her face.

She ignored him finding her friend, "Its Penny, she is in the hospital, can I get a ride?" she asked.

"Here I will take you" Logan said gently tugging her elbow, she didn't resist she was too scared to resist. They drove to the hospital and she ran up to the windows of the nursery. She ran up giving a hug to an older man in his fifties.

They walked up to see the beautiful baby in the window, she was pale and looked like she was drenched in powder. "Honey it is going to be fine, it was just a fever" the man cooed smoothing down her hair and rubbing her back as she shook in his arms. She put her hand up to the glass and looked at the fragile baby in front of her.

"Is she yours?" Duncan asked.

She just nodded, she couldn't talk instead she walked down the corridor and confronted a doctor at the end of the hall.

"Are you friends of Lilu's?" he asked.

"Yeah we knew her when she was in Neptune." Veronica said.

The old man nodded rubbing his hand against his temple. "I don't know what to do? I loved my girls very much. I never wanted anything to happen to them" he said.

"I am sorry sir, but Girls?" Veronica asked cluing into what he was saying.

He pulled out a picture of two blonde identical twins. "Lila and Lilu their mother thought it was cute. They moved out to Vegas with their mother when we got divorced, Last year Karen got in a head on car crash with a truck and was killed. Lila went to college and Lilu ends up on my doorstep, little penny in her arms she said she had to take care of some business and she would be back.

She came home and she was broken, she wouldn't eat, sleep, or talk to anyone except for penny. She wouldn't tell me what happened. Do you know?" he asked.

"Sorry sir we don't know" Duncan said. The older man nodded his head a bit before going down the hall and giving Lilu a hug and tender kiss on her forehead and retreating out the door. Lilu walked over to the chair against the wall and slumped into it letting out a long relieved sigh.

"So you have questions" she stated.

"Okay, my name is Liluna Patterson my sister is Delilah. We were just like the cliché we both had certain qualities; she was the student, the cheerleader, the class president, the future Stanford graduate. I was the Funny one, the flirt, the chef, the linguist, and the hacker. I had learned every way to break into every mainframe ever invented." She said with a smile.

"You should have hung around longer Mac would have loved meeting you" Veronica joked.

"Yeah well that is what got me into trouble; I wasn't going anywhere I thought I was in love and ended up pregnant. But Lila she was destined for Stanford ever since we were kids." She said with admiration in her voice. When our mom died my dad rented us an apartment in Vegas so we didn't have to change schools. We never told him I was pregnant, I guess we thought he would cut us off if he knew." She said a sob threatening her voice. Duncan took a seat next to her and grabbed her hand sqeezing gently to urge her on.

"Lila didn't get in, she was devastated. Kendall comes into class one day and tells me that she heard about our problem and thinks she can help. I was curious to know how she knew about us but she never told me. Instead she makes an offer, if I work as her assistant for 6 months then she would pulls some strings and get lila into Stanford and all I had to do was use my skills with a computer." She said looking down at her hands that were intertwined with Duncan's.

"She got in, and everything was working out, I would do research on people send Kendall my research and I could stay at home. Everything was perfect, Lila was getting ready for college. Penny was three months old and I had a job I could do that worked around my scheduele. But soon I figured out that all the people I was researching ended up dead, when confronted her about it everything changed." She was crying now, but still kept talking, wanting to get everything out.

"It was no longer Lila going to college, it was about Lila staying alive. If I didn't do what Kendall said she was going to kill Lila…. So I left Penny with my dad and moved with Kendall up to Neptune. I only had two more jobs. Until she said I needed to kill you." She said looking at Logan. "But I couldn't, I couldn't." she was shaking and Duncan pulled her into his arms and rocked her back and forth.

She was a victim the whole time. When she stopped crying they continued to talk until it got really late. They convinced her to go home and get some sleep. They took her to her apartment that she had with penny and Duncan carried her to her room. She was curled up in his arms asleep. He laid her on the bed and pulled the covers up, he moved to go to the couch when she pulled on his hand.

"Please lay with me" she said in a small voice. He crawled into bed next to her, wrapping his arms around her. He snuggled closer to her neck and gave it a light kiss.

"I thought you didn't do boyfriends" he said trying to make it a joke.

She giggled snuggling closer to his arms. "why are you here?" she asked.

"Because you changed us when you came to Neptune, you made me open my eyes to the truth, and you helped me realize that that needed someone in my life." He said with a small pause. "You"

"Are you always this corny?" she joked.

"yep, so you better get used to it." He held her tighter and they fell to sleep. Letting in the dreams that would make everything better. Or at least until morning.
