"Is he getting any better?"

Aria hasn't even slept after that bitch "A" shot Ezra a month ago. Spencer, Emily, and Hannah are visiting Ezra (and Aria) for the 2nd time of the day. Hannah taps impatiently at her watch while she tries hard not to complain about how sick she is of this place and how much she thinks Aria should be locked up in Radley Sanitarium (Trust me! She stays at the hospital 24/7 and the only thing Hannah ever heard her say in the past month is either "Hi." Or "Is he getting any better?").

"He is getting better, and I suppose he would wake up from him coma in…" Dr. Kingston answered in his super sexy British accent, "… 2 more days." He winked at Hannah and left. Aria stared at the currently-in-coma Ezra.

"Don't you think Ezra's head looks like a mummy that is in the middle of mummification?" Hannah giggled as she tries to "share a joke". But like always, 3 pairs of icy stares and one word greeted her: "HANNAH!"

"What! I was just 'making conversation'" she complained, "Isn't that what people do?"

Silence.

Then something hit Hannah: "Don't trust anyone." The last words that Ali said to her before "A" kidnapped Ali. She replayed the last time they saw Ali and "A":

"Omigod," Ali exclaimed as she sat down next to Emily in her new (she have decided it was no longer safe to live in the old one) apartment in Philly, "It's just such a great feeling to kill time with my girlfriends."

"While we are supposed to hunting that friggin' 'A' down." Added Spencer in her matter-of-factly tone.

They all sat in silence for a while until Alison suddenly started a conversation about their boyfriends.

"- So Han, Noel told me you have a hot boyfriend." She said, inching towards Hannah, who is on the opposite couch, "What's his specialty?"

"Hacking," Hannah said without any hesitation, "and kissing."

"Oh really!" Spencer shouted out in surprise, "You even said he was a 'lousy kisser'!"

"It was jus a joke, Spe -" Hannah paused for a moment, "How did you know about that?"

Spencer blushed, "From Mona."

"Now you're talking to that bitch!?" Alison was so shocked that she almost knocked over the table.

"She told me that when I was helping her to do those stupid 'A' thingy, okay?"

"Oh." Ali calmed down, "so what was that hottie's name again? Celeb?"

"Its Caleb; not Celeb." Emily corrected.

"Ooh, someone's talkin'." Cooed Ali as she put her arm around Emily, "So how are you with 'Pigskin'?"

"Cold war."

They laughed. When they calmed down, Hannah suddenly asked, "I've heard that Aria is going to ditch school until Ezra wakes up. Is she serious?"

The girls looked at each other. They know Aria still love Ezra and that she could miss 5 BFF reunion party for him. But the doctors said that he if is going to wake up from the coma, its going to take at least 2 months.

Ali got up and gestured Hannah to follow her. "Excuse us." Ali said as she makes their way into a tiny bedroom.

"Okay, I know that was a bad move to bring up that topic, but does it really worth being in a room and discussing about it privately?" Hannah asked, confused.

"No, I want you to know something."

"And that is…"

"Don't trust anyone."

"Not even them?" Hannah gestured at the door. Outside, they can both hear the other girls laughing and joking outside.

Not even them, Ali mouthed. Then they open the door and Ali asked, "So, what have we missed?"

Suddenly, the apartment door swing open and Aria stumbles in. "I-i-it's 'A'" she stammered as she pointed out side the window. A black figure stood there patiently, as if waiting for them to go over and reveal him/her.

"That is not a normal 'A' move." Spencer whispered as she inches closer to the window. They all inch a little closer to take a better look at the black hooded figure. In all of a sudden the porch light shone bright on "A"'s face, who turned out to be wearing an Alison mask, and he/she was holding a sign:

Say Goodbye. -A

Then followed a scream. Ali's scream. They turn around just in time to see the door shut and lock. Then they realize the graffiti on the walls:

I told you to watch your back! -A

"Hannah." Spencer called, shaking her shoulder, "Han."

"Mmmm?" She asked, remembering that she is still in the lame hospital. She checked her watch, its been an hour and a half since they got here, "Oh my, god! It's been this long?"

"Han, we spent an hour visiting and half for waiting for you to wake up." Scolded Emily.

"We're meeting up at my house." Spencer said, "Now gather up your stuff!"

Spencer poured some lemonade into a cup and asked, "Are you sure you both don't want any lemonade? Its homemade." They both shook their head.

"How did Aria know 'A' was actually outside their window? I mean, wasn't she supposed to be with Ezra?" Hannah asked.

"I don't know." Answered Spencer, "Aria is so weird lately."

For a second, Hannah actually thought of telling Emily and Spencer about Ali's last words. But she knows she can't. Ali said (well, mouthed) that not even Hannah could trust them.

That night, Hannah lied wide-awake on her bed. Whenever she closed her eyes, she sees Ali in the black tank top she wore the last time Hannah saw her, covered with dirt and fear.

"Don't trust anyone." Ali would remind, then would mouth, not even them.

These bitches are just so idiotic. They never remember what I say. Don't you think so? I thought as I turned to the little blonde tied up against the pole in my apartment.

"You bitch!" She screamed as I take off my Ali mask, revealing myself.

"I'm not the bitch, honey. You and your posse are." I casually answer as I play with the hem of my newly ironed red trench coat.
