It was a hot October day a couple weeks before Halloween and Hanna, Aria, Spencer, and Emily stood on the stairs of the Rosewood church. Let's just say these four have had very luck in life. First there best friend Ali disappears, only for a year later for her to show up murdered in her own back yard. Then they start getting A messages with there deepest darkest secret that only Ali knew. Not to mention they had a rough time with trusting people, and cops.
It was the day of Wilden's funeral and they had gotten a message from A with evidence linking them to his death. Hanna sighed and looked down at her phone. "So what's the plan how are we going to get into detective assholes coffin?" She asked curious as how they were going to extract the evidence without getting caught.
Spencer looked at the church deep in thought last time she was here was for the death of Ali. "There should be a holding room, I'll go in and find it, and join you guys before it starts." She said going into the church in search of the evidence. She found the holding room and looked into the coffin in search of the incriminating evidence and it was a phone. She looked and only saw three numbers so she called the number kisses since the other two were blocked numbers. "Hanna?" She questioned hearing Hanna on the phone. "Mom?" She heard Hanna say. "It's Spencer I guess your mom is the evidence."
Hanna was bored sitting in a pew morning the loss of a person she tolerated at best. She hated Wilden for so many reasons. He screwed her mother, blamed her and her friends for the death of Ali, and well he was just an overall jerk. "It it wrong that even though he dated my mother, I'm not really sad he's gone? I should be but after everything he's done to us I just don't feel sad about it."
Aria sighed she agreed with Hanna completely. She still felt bad for crashing the dudes funeral just for evidence but then again she knew that if anyone saw what was in the coffin they should be screwed.
The four sat in silence during the funeral. They were glad to have gotten Hanna's mom's cell phone out of the coffin without anyone noticing it. The funeral was over and the girls all but ran for the door. They stood on the steps and saw a black figure in a veil with a mask underneath it. "Do you all see what I see?" Emily said stunned. It seemed like A decided to crash. "Go figure that to be here." Hanna said rolling her greenish blue eyes unamused she didn't even care that the person who tormented them was here dressed in black and covered in a veil.
The girls didn't have much time to dwell on the black figure. "Spencer, Hanna, Aria, and Emily?" A cute guy in a suit asked he had deep brown hair; a warm smile that made Hanna want to melt; and brown eyes that twinkled like stars. He looked like the all-around college boy with his spiked up hair and warm smile. The girls nodded in unison at the sounds of their names. "I'm Detective Holbrook in charge of finding the murders of Officer Reynolds and Wilden. We might have to bring you four in for questioning, but unlike Wilden I won't harass you." He said handing Spencer his card and walking back to his car with a final wink.
"More like Dect. Hotbrook." Aria squealed. "He was looking at you Hanna." She gushed.
Hanna sighed. "He's cute but he's in his like late 20's besides he's a cop it'd be very illegal until I graduate. It's not like Spencer and Wren. Spencer's taking college courses and Wren's still a college student for a couple more months. It's not like Aria and Ezra, yes he's a teacher but he teaches at a different school. So therefore no harm no foul. But Holbrook is a detective and we are on his radar, and I'm still in high school for five more months. She said to the three even though she wouldn't mind one bit if he was interested in her. "I'm going to go get some coffee and take a walk. I need some time to think."
She hugged her girls and went off to The Brew for a vanilla latte. She ordered her nonfat vanilla latte and sat at one of the tables looking rather deep in thought. She was mad at A for trying to frame her mother for the murder of Wilden. "Hanna right?" She heard looking up and seeing the hot detective from the church. "Yeah I'm Hanna." She said around a sip of my vanilla latte. "Mind if I join you?" He asked looking at her with his warm brown eyes.
"Sure go right ahead, not sure if I'll be much company." Hanna said sounding slightly depressed and upset.
"You look like your deep in thought?" Gabriel said taking a sip of hazelnut coffee. "I'm surprised to see you without the others from what the other police officers say you four seem to be joined at the hip." He teased. Hanna smirked at him and he wanted to melt in a puddle. She was beautiful in classical way. The way her blonde hair cascaded down her back in waves. The slight greenish hue to her otherwise blue eyes. Not to mention her pink pouty lips that he just wanted to kiss.
"I needed some time to think about the death of my mom's ex and other things, I'm kinda surprised that you aren't stuffing your face with donuts. Isn't that what police officers do sit around and eat donuts drinking coffee" She teased giving him crap right back.
Gabriel sighed at the donut joke and looked at her with a warm smile. "Donuts really you do realize donuts and coffee are the biggest police stereotypes ever. Even though I am addicted to coffee." He admitted to her finding it very easy to talk to the blonde she was interesting to say the least. She wasn't really what he thought she was going to be like.
Hanna laughed at his admittance to the coffee. "It's okay I love coffee too. I am pretty sure I am like 40% coffee. So how's the search for Wilden's murder going?"
"Wilden was a dirty cop, lots of people didn't like him. I do know he and your mother dated for a while so I think it safe to assume you didn't like him all that well?"
Hanna crossed her arms her guard going up. God she should have seen it he was playing her. "No not really, he was a jerk to me and my friends. We had nothing to do with Alison DiLaurentis's murder and he was always trying to pin it one of us."
"Relax Hanna; I'm off duty besides I just want to help its obvious you four have been through a lot of crap dealing with Wilden and the death of a very close friend." He said patting her hand. Hanna felt compelled to tell him everything leaving nothing out, It felt like she could trust him but then again he was a cop and cops in Rosewood tended to play dirty.
Hanna took another sip of her latte. "I'm not sure I want to tell you everything how about we get to know each other first." Hanna said still nervous about him since he was a cop. Gabriel took a sip of his coffee. "Well what do you want to know?" He asked.
"Well what made you want to become a detective?" Gabriel laughed. "Why don't we start with something else?" He teased. "Well instead of Holbrook you can call me Gabriel unless I'm on duty, and I became a detective because I didn't think I was cut out for med school." He teased trying to make her lighten up and trust him, because he really liked her as wrong as it was for a cop to like a high school senior in the I-wouldn't-mind-being-more-than-friend's-kind-of-way.
Hanna looked surprised she took a sip of her latte. "Gabriel so how do you feel about people calling you Gabe? Med school? Can't tell if you're full of crap with the med school confession or if you're serious. You don't really seem like the med school type."
"Lots of people call me Gabe, so go right ahead. The actual reason I chose to be a detective was because I find police work to be interesting, you think it's something but the more you dig into it the more you realize just how wrong your initial assumption was wrong. I like to be proved wrong." He said taking a long sip of his coffee. "I did question med school for a while in high school along with psychology, but I ultimately chose to be a police officer and worked my way up to detective level."
Hanna smiled listening to his story. "Cute and smart." She teased him well she would admit he was hot. "So how long have you been a detective?" She asked trying to find out his age without bluntly asking it.
"Well aren't you a curious one and full of complements, I have been a detective for about two and half years and before you ask I'm 24. He said. "So what are you thinking about after high school?"
Hanna's eyes widened after hearing his age. "I was thinking you were 26 or something you're kind of young compared to Wilden. I don't know I was thinking of fashion design but know I am leaning more towards criminology or psychology. I guess with everything that happened to Ali has kind of made me like police work." She said admitting something she had not even admitted to her friends.
Gabriel sipped his coffee and looked at Hanna stunned. "How do you go from fashion design to criminology?" He asked honestly curious it was a bit of a jump. "And yes I am kind of young for a detective; I graduated from high school at sixteen and managed to get my bachelor's degree in three years instead of four."
Hanna laughed seeing his face. "Is it weird for a girl to want to do police work? I haven't told anyone besides you, because well my friends and mother don't really like police officers all that well and I'm scared to how they would react. Besides after Alison's murder I just found detective work to be interesting."
"Well there is a receptionist job open down at the station it would look really good for college and finding you a job after the academy, but you didn't hear it from me. It's not all that weird for a girl to be interested in police work." He whispered she was still a suspect in the Wilden case and he didn't want to get in trouble for trying to help her. Unlike Wilden and Reynolds he was a good cop and actually did care about people.
"I'll have to look into that, and I won't tell that it was you who gave me the idea, besides maybe it's time I start coming clean to my friends and family about what I actually want to do after I graduate in a four or five months." She said finishing the rest of her coffee.
"You really should it's nothing to be ashamed about. I should be going I have a long day tomorrow. I need you to come in for an interview and the rest of your friends. That is if you wouldn't mind."
Hanna sighed and tossed the empty cup of coffee into the trash can. "You're giving me a choice?" She said stunned at the fact that he would give her an option.
Gabriel laughed and tossed his cup. "Yes I am giving you a choice but its better if you come in yourself without me bringing you in for questioning." He said with a final wink. "See you tomorrow Hanna."
Hanna made a note in her iPhone to see Gabriel tomorrow; she got up and left the coffee shop wanted to tell her mom about her future. She figured it was time to come clean to her mother about what she wanted to do with her life. "Mom you home?" She asked kicking her heels off at the door.
"Hello Hanna where have you been, besides Wilden's funeral?" Ashley questioned watching Hanna grab water from the fridge.
"Getting coffee and talking with the new detective, oh and I also picked up the new James Patterson novel. Mom I haven't been honest with you and I feel like I should. I'm not going to major in fashion, but instead criminology with a minor in psychology."
Ashley looked at her daughter. "So you want to be a cop, what the hell brought this on? What about everything with Ali, and Wilden? Haven't you learned that cops have a secret addenda? What's your secret agenda?" She said honestly stunned at her daughter for wanting to become a police officer.
"It's something I love mother if you need to blame it on something, blame it on James Patterson and Ali. It's been a long day and I'm tired." Hanna said going up to her room and changing into her Victoria Secret pjs and cracking open the new book she got at the book store.
