Logan is not a morning person. He was born to be nocturnal, and he's pretty well okay with that.

Nevertheless, he's up early, which means before noon in Logan-speak. It's after Aaron Echolls's funeral, and he hasn't been sleeping well since, so why bother trying? He was up all night playing video games, because it was a better option than staring at his ceiling fan, and ended up falling asleep on the couch.

Not being a morning person means he also rarely reads the newspaper. He'd much rather get any news he needs online or from CNN, but the Neptune Grand is a snooty enough hotel that the room service guy brings four upstairs when he brings Logan's breakfast (waffles, bacon and fried eggs, if you must know) - The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, and, of course, The Neptune Daily News.

Normally he just pushes them off the cart and digs into his food, but not today. The Daily News rests on top of the others, and it's the one that makes Logan spew his coffee all over the giant headline.




Shaking off the slightly soggy newspaper, he reads on:

In a shocking move, daughter of murdered actor Aaron Echolls married Chad Witherspoon, ex-husband of pop princess Jerrica, in Las Vegas's Hunka Hunka Burning Love Wedding Chapel late last night. The two dated briefly eight years ago, but the chemistry between Echolls and Witherspoon hasn't dimmed, based on their behavior last night.

The two competed in Celebrity Poker Grudge Match, with Echolls losing in the first round and Witherspoon in the second. They left after the game finished, and sources close to the couple say they spent the evening drinking in Las Vegas's hottest clubs. It was 2 a.m. when they went to the wedding chapel, and video footage shows Echolls looking rapturously happy as the two danced at their hotel after the ceremony.

The couple was unavailable for comment as of press time.

witherspoon is best known as the 'boy next door' from the boy band Pretentious Umlauts, who released the album Umlaut Nation in 1998. The album went platinum six months later, based largely on the strength of their single, "Love is in the dots." He's since gone solo, with a hit-or miss career that includes the stellar "CHAD" and the less-than-stellar "WITHERSPOON."

Echolls is the daughter of Aaron Echolls, the Neptune actor who was brutally murdered in his Neptune Grand hotel room last month. Echolls is best known for her false alarm leukemia scare and her appearance in "Morgan Wilder Goes MAD," the teen film about an Ivy-League bound high school student who cracks under the pressure. Echolls played Morgan's best friend, Carissa, who has sex and is unable to get into a good college.

Logan can't read anymore. It's too depressing. He does look at his cell phone and ponders calling.

Ponders some more.

He eats his waffles first. After all, if Trina had such a big night, he doubts she's awake yet. Then he picks up the phone and dials her cell phone number. The private one, the one no one else has, because if she could be reached, he's pretty sure she'd have given a statement by now.
