Veronica stood outside Logan's door for at least a minute before she knocked. She had a feeling this conversation was not going to go well, but she knew she had to tell him the truth.
"So... I guess you've probably figured out that there's been some stuff going on I haven't told you about," she began. "Do you want the short version or the long version?"
"I know," she said, swallowing hard. "And for what it's worth? I'm sorry."
Veronica paused, took a deep breath and then started rambling.
"Marty got a phone call two weeks ago from a guy who knew what he used to do for a living. He wanted Marty to do two more jobs. He knew all about Marty; who he cared about, where they lived, everything. So Marty agreed to meet with him."
She forced herself to look him in the eye.
"Logan, one of the hits he wanted Marty to do was me."
"Well, for one thing? You were a bunny. There was nothing you could have done to help. Marty came up with a plan to stage a fake shootout; Piper cast a spell on Lilly so she looked like me and one on Angel so he looked like Marty. Jake shifted to look like Nadia."
Veronica looked down. "The other reason was because of who was behind it."
"I haven't been a bunny for two weeks, Veronica! You should have told me, no matter who was behind it!" Logan paused, then asked with a sense of dread. "Who was behind it?"
"Logan, stop," Veronica pleaded, finally looking up. "I'm fine. As far as he knows, Marty killed me."
Yeah, it was really hard to speak those words out loud. But she really didn't want Logan flipping out yet since there was still one more really important thing she had to tell him.
Logan shook the plaster off his hand as he swung around to face her. "Why didn't you tell me?" he asked in a low voice, trying to keep his fury under control.
"What exactly do you think I should have done?" she asked. "Hi, honey, glad you're not a bunny anymore and oh, by the way, your dad tried to have me killed the other day."
