I don't own Pretty Little Liars. Thanks for reading the story. Just to let you guys know, I'm writing the story from my phone and there is a lot of autocorrect. I tried to fix most of it, but just in case I didn't get them all. Thanks for reading :)

Chapter 2

What the hell had I been thinking? To be honest Gabriel hadn't done anything to make me want to throw him out. He seemed kind if worried, and I could have sworn that every time he looked at me he seemed almost guilty. I hated that even for a moment I felt bad for him. He didn't deserve anything from me and there was no way I was going to let him play me again.

"What did you want to talk about?" I couldn't stand the silence anymore.

"Well, first of all I wanted to apologize" my eyes snapped up to him. That had been the last thing I've been expecting him to say. He seem to take pleasure in the fact that he had surprised me "I'm not a total jerk Hanna. Even if you don't believe me I do feel bad about deceiving you"

"Yeah well, feeling bad doesn't really help a lot" I wasn't letting him get off that easy "Even if you are really sorry and want to make things better, there is no way I would ever trust you again. To be honest, I can't believe I was stupid enough to believe in you. I should have known better, after all I had a lot of bad experiences with police officers"

"I know" he looked even guiltier now. Good, he should. He let out a sigh before speaking again "I know that gaining your trust, if that's even possible, won't be easy. But I need to try. I really have to talk to you and I want you to listen to me with an open mind"

"I let you in" that was all he could expect from me at the moment "that should let you know that I'll listen to you. Now, I can't promise that I'll believe anything you say"

"That's fair" He ran a hand through his hair "I had an ulterior motive to get close to Alison" I didn't say anything, just let him talk "She was the one that started things, but I gave her entry because I needed her to trust me. To let down her defenses, well at least to let them down as she could. I needed to be part of the inner circle, to know what was going on with her"

"Why? I mean don't get me wrong, we all know what an interesting person Alison is. You are not the first person to fall under her spell, but after all the things you know about her, why would you want to be close to her? To give her any kind of power over you?"

"I can't tell you that" I snorted, of course he couldn't. Had I really been expecting any different? "I'm sorry, but I can't tell you the reason why I needed her to trust me, but I need you to believe me when I say that she is not the one that killed Monna"

"What makes you think she didn't?" I couldn't tell him that I already knew the truth. That it had been A all along that I already knew that as evil as Alison was she had nothing to do with Monna's murder "She could be lying, after all that's what she is good at"

"Don't play dumb Hanna, we both know that you are not the dumb blonde that you make people believe you are" that took me by surprise, but this time I managed to keep my face blank "I know that you and your friends know that Alison is innocent of that crime, just like I know that you guys destroyed almost every proof that could prove her innocence"

"We had nothing to do with that"

"You know better and you know I'm not stupid" he walked closer to the kitchen counter and I felt my body tense, but he stopped before getting too close "I have proof of all this. I have proof that you and your friends destroyed all the evidence that could prove that Alison was innocent, just like I know that you guys are trying to help her without bringing down the entire Rosewood's police department on your heads"

"If you have proof of all this, then why haven't you turn it in?" There was no way that he would sit on that kind of information "Are you that in love with Ali? You would really jeopardize your future, just to save her?"

"No, you couldn't be more wrong. There is a reason why I haven't turn the proof in and I'm not going to. I can help you, but I will also need your help"

"My help?" this time I was the one that moved closed to him. I stopped when the tip of my flippers covered feet touched his dress shoes "What in the hell makes you think that I would ever help you with anything?"

"Because I can help you find out who A is" that actually made me stop for a moment. There was no way he was able to help me with that, and even if he did. It would be really hard to trust him again. He let out a breath "If you help me find what happened to Bethany and also the reason why Cece killed Wilden I can help you find out who A is. And not only that, I can also help you make sure that she goes away for life without bringing you and your friends down"

"Even if what you are saying is true, there is no way I can trust you"

"I know" He reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper "that's why I'm going to trust you first. Go to this address and you can take your friends too. Once you find out was inside then you can decide for yourself if trusting me is worth it or not"

I grabbed the paper he was holding out and he walked out before I could see anything. I opened the paper and found a key inside, there was also an address. Damn it, there went my peaceful Saturday.

It had taken me a while to convince Aria to come with me. Emily hadn't answered my texts, or calls and Spencer was still trying to solver her problems with Toby, so I hadn't bothered calling her. She would know what was going on soon enough.

"You are not going to try and empty this storage unit too, are you?" Aria was being sarcastic, but I could tell she was worried. She looked at the key in my hand then back at my face "How did you found out about this place and how did you get the key?"

"I found it when I went to the other storage unit with Caleb" the lie came out before I could stop it.

"I thought Caleb said you guys hadn't touched anything? Wasn't the storage room almost empty?"

"I found it and didn't tell Caleb" I couldn't tell Aria that Gabriel had given me the key and address. If I told her then I would have to explain why he had given it to me.

"I thought you trusted Caleb" Aria was like a dog with a bone, apparently she didn't noticed my annoyance and kept going "I mean considering that you guys aren't together anymore"

"We are friends and I do trust him, but at the time we were in a hurry" I unlocked the door and looked at Aria before opening it "Now let's stop talking and find out what's in here"

This time I didn't give her the chance to say anything to agree or disagree before opening the door. It was completely empty. Aria walked in and looked around, while I stood in the same spot glaring at the empty space like it was its fault. I could feel my blood boiling. Why would Holbrook give me the address and a key for a storage unit that was empty? If he was trying to play me I was going to make him wish he was never born.

"Well, this was a waste of time" I tried to keep the annoyance out of my voice, but I was pretty sure Aria could still hear it "is completely empty"

"No is not" Aria said before walking to one of the rom corners. When she turned around she was holding a manila envelope "Apparently someone left us a gift"

Ok, so maybe beating Gabriel could wait for a bit. I moved next to Aria so I could see what was inside the envelope. When she pulled out a stack of pictures our eyes widened.

"Is that Wren?" I took the picture from Aria "what the hell is he doing?"

"Apparently he is having secrets with red coat" Aria answered before looking inside the envelope once more.

The pictures showed Wren talking with a blonde woman in a red coat. The angle of the picture didn't show her face, but we could see some of her blonde hair.

"She is too tall to be Alison" I said pointing at the picture "but she looks the same height as Cece"

"Yes, but Cece left the country" Aria said before unfolding a piece of paper "Wait, according to this she came back"

Aria handed me the paper. It was a plane ticket. The date was from two weeks ago.

"Vivian Darkbloom?" I asked looking at the ticket "Ali said she hadn't talked to Cece in a while"

"Yeah well, we know that Alison is an expert at lying" it was hard to argue with that "and apparently Cece is not the only one who cut her vacation short"

"Let me guess" I said without looking away from the pictures "Wren"

"Bingo, he is been in the Sates for 3 weeks. I wonder if Spencer knows."

"I doubt it. Knowing her, she would have said something by now"

I kept flipping the pictures and my eyes almost popped out of my head when I saw the last one. Damn this was going to be a blow.

"Umm… Aria" she looked at me and I could see the worry in her eyes "Apparently Wren wasn't hiving meetings with just red coat"

"What do you mean? Who else would help that moro…." I turned the picture so she could see it and her eyes widened even more, if that was possible. Her voice sounded terrified "Mike? Why is Wren meeting with my brother?"
