Hanna Marin comes home from the mall to find her step-father Daren Widen eating her coca-puffs looking unshaven, and like he slept in his suit.
"Oh hi," Hanna said.
Darren blinked at her with tired eyes.
"How was school?" Darren asks.
Hanna frowned, "its Saturday."
Darren glanced at the calendar on the wall.
"Shit I guess it is," He said pouring himself another glass of coffee.
"What are you working on?" Hanna said peeling a banana, and taking a bite.
When her mother first started dating Wilden Hanna had been horrified the horny cop that gave her mom a ride home on Halloween was now sleeping right down the hall. Then Darren would show up with take out from Hanna's favorite Tai place, and he would talk work. Hanna loved hearing about solving a case, and caching the bad guy, it was like her own personal detective show. Sometimes Wilden would ask her option on a case, and Hanna was always secretly happy when he told her hunch had paid off.
"There's been some developments in Jas- the DiLauentis case" Darren said.
Hanna grimaced she was shore Wilden had been about to say Jason's murder, but had stopped himself. The DiLauentis case was the one case Darren never talked about at home.
Darren cleared his throat, "Where's your mother?" he asked.
"At the charity lunch?" Hanna said softly.
Her mother had stopped working after the wedding. She now was on several boards for charity's, and spent her days organizing silly things like fashion shows to fight hunger. They were never without money, Hanna wasn't shore what Rosewood police detective made, but Darren was always handing Hanna fist full of cash to buy whatever pair of Mui Mui she has wanted without question.
Darren's phone buzzed, and he glanced at it. He went still, and the color drained from his face.
"I have to go," he said.
He pulled out his wallet, and handed her a hundred dollar bill.
"Order dinner," he said.
Still starting at his phone he left without another word.
"Werido," Hanna muttered.
She then called her boyfriend Caleb Rivers to say she had the house to herself.

Alison had stopped screaming by the time the police arrived. Melissa was trying to get her drink some tea, but Alison was shaking too hard, because the blue shirt was covered in red, blood Jason's blood.
"Alison."
Alison looked up, and it was Darren Wilden looking grim.
"I was wondering if you could explain to me how that shirt ended up in your bag," Wilden said.
Alison was reminded of the floppy haired party boy who would smoke weed with Jason, and felt a little less imitated by the police officer.
"No Darren I don't," Alison said.
Wilden didn't even looked surprised, like he had expected her to be bitch.
"Mr. Hastings says you took it out of you bag," Wilden said.
Alison sate up a little straighter her eyes were slights.
"I thought the shirt was in police lock up," Melissa's quite voice said, "Maybe you should look who took it from there."
Darren started at Melissa a though he hadn't seen her sitting there.
"I'll contact you if I have more questions," Wilden said.
He handed her a card, and Alison noticed he was wearing a wedding ring.
"You do that," Ali said.
"Wait," Mr. Hastings said walking up to Wilden, "you aren't to talk to Alison without her attorney again."
"I was just leaving," Wilden said inching away, "It was good seeing you Melissa."
Alison felt her phone vibrate in her pocket, and took it out. She read the text, and the shaking returned.
What would he do if he found out where you really were Ali? You tell or I will. A
What do you think? I know Wilden's step-dad status is shocking, but Ashley seemed very different in the Halloween episode so I went off of that, and just because he's nice to Hanna doesn't mean he's good.
