This is the last chapter centered on the revelation that meg is alive. In chapter 5 lots of questions are answered.

I don't own Veronica Mars or General Hospital

Neptune Grand

June 2007.

Duncan hadn't known what to expect when Logan opened the door.

He had expected some yelling, maybe a punch being thrown, something. What he hadn't expecedt was for Logan to just stare at him without speaking. Logan's lack of reaction threw Duncan so much that he himself was unable to react. In fact it wasn't until Lilly wiggled out of his arms that Logan finally invited them both in.

But the invite didn't seem to change anything, they still seemed to be processing the other's existence and their attention was mostly directed at Lilly's actions and not each other's. Several minutes passed before Duncan got the response he had originally expected and they began to argue, which strangely enough, quickly turned into laughter.

Duncan was really just trying to be civil and make Logan think everything was fine, but it wasn't. Far from it in truth. Duncan had no intention of rekindling their friendship. No, he had other plans and he knew Logan was probably more than a little suspicious of that regardless of the fact that he hadn't acted like it.

As they filled each other in on the last 18 months of their lives, Duncan left out just as much as he knew Logan had and then a few minutes after he asked about Veronica they heard a knock at the door.

He knew it was Veronica. Perfect timing, Duncan had thought to himself, she'd always had a knack for that, he used to swear she was psychic sometimes.

Duncan could see her at the door and he watched as her gaze traveled from Lilly over to him.

God she was still beautiful. He couldn't wait to be with her again.

If Logan hadn't been there was no telling what he would have done. He would have loved nothing more than to throw her up against the wall, rip her clothes off and fuck her into next week.

But obviously he wasn't going to do that, at least not yet.

So instead, Duncan just smiled at her as the memories of her naked body writhing beneath him ran through his mind.

She asked him what he was doing there, obviously trying to be polite, but polite just wasn't her style, well at least not anymore, not since she had changed. But he knew he needed to play the game, and play it right, so he replied just as politely and told her he needed her help

And then she fucking kissed Logan, right in front of him and Duncan tensed immediately. He hadn't realized that they were back together and Logan had conveniently forgotten to mention it or maybe he just hadn't cared to hear it.

But it didn't matter. Duncan just reminded himself that it was only a matter of time before things with her and Logan ended and then she would be kissing him like that again. Maybe he would just add some sabotage to his plan to make it happen sooner.

He felt the bile rise in his stomach when he heard Logan whisper words of love and watched Veronica grab his hand. But he noted victoriously that she didn't say it back, which meant that not much had really changed between the two.

Veronica focused on Duncan once again, asked what he needed help with and he answered her quickly. "I need you to help me find someone. It's important, I'm not here to disrupt your life or get in the way of things." He spoke the last words while staring straight at their joined hands and lying through his teeth. Now that was going to be fun, he wasn't there to disrupt it, he had every intention of torpedoing it. "It's just that you were my last resort"

"Who? Who could be that important? Who would you risk returning to Neptune to find Duncan?" Veronica questioned.

Duncan then walked over, stood directly in front of Veronica and Logan, picked up Lilly and replied coolley. "Meg. I need you to help me find Meg."

Logan immediately went stiff, a reaction that quickly caught Duncan's attention before Veronica replied to his comment. "Meg is dead Duncan."

"No Veronica, She's alive." He paused for a second and then decided to lay it all out there. "But you already knew that didn't you?"

It was then that Duncan realized that they had gained an audience.

Mac, Wallace, and Dick stood at the door taking in the scene before them. They had entered just in time to hear Duncan tell Veronica he needed her to help him find Meg.

No one noticed in that moment the look of confusion on Dick's face as the scene played out.

It all seemed a little to 'General Hospital' to the blond surfer, this melodrama bullshit wasn't his thing and his brain began to hurt from all the questions he didn't have answers for.

Why did Duncan think Meg was alive?

Why did V look so mad? (Although she's kind of hot when she's mad.)

And why did Logan get so stiff? (Dude, he needs to lighten up.)

Why did Wallace nearly stop breathing and why did Mac stiffen just like Logan with a deer in the headlights look? ( They need to lighten up too, he'd be willing to help Mac out with that. These people thrive on drama way to much, besides its not like this concerns them…..)

But Dick slowly began to realize that he was the only one in the room who didn't know what was going on as the next and last question entered his mind…and that's when he got mad. Because the last question his mind asked was…..

Why did Duncan turn and look at Logan when he said those last few words?

"But you already knew that didn't you?"

So what did you think? Update soon! Id love to know what you think about the editing ive done!

So as I said earlier chapter 5 will reveal a lot and it is up now!

I apologize for the dueling POVs but It was instrumental to the plot. i really needed to show everyone's reaction to the revelation that meg is alive.
