Chapter 2

Disclaimer: I still do not own PLL or any of the character.

The events in this this chapter happen one day prior to the events in the first chapter.

Toby sat in the truck and wondered how exactly he might get the answers he was looking for and by now he was dubious if he even knew the right questions. He was not exactly angry at Spencer he was just too worried about her. She was and always would be the love of his life and he just couldn't carry on being lied to by her. He was done with all the lying and deception, he had spent a lot of his life being blamed for crimes he did not commit. Even today people looked at him fear and loathing. From the day Spencer came into his life all those things bothered him lesser by the day and at last he felt as if he had everything he wanted. He had his own place even though it was temporary, a good job and a very beautiful girlfriend. And he was ready to go to any extent to keep her safe.

He had to find out more about Mona but he had no clue where to start. It was like a big puzzle and he only knew a few bits and pieces and it was hard to put them all together without more information. He thought of talking to Dr. Sullivan as she knew all about the mess but he doubted the possibility that she would reveal any information. So after a lot of debate Toby decided to sneak into her office and get the files. It was risky but he knew that Spencer was worth it. Once he arrived at the office he easily broke in and luckily Dr. Sullivan had not installed any security system yet. He headed straight towards the drawers and as he was looking through the folders he heard some foot steps. He hid behind the couch though it was not the best hiding place but that was all he could manage in the limited time he had. Toby knew that he was gonna get caught but the question was by whom? He heard step approaching him and his heart was beating hard against his chest. All the possibilities flashed through his mind. What if he got caught and was put behind bars? Could he go through all that humiliation again? And majorly how would Spencer react. He felt a figure someone staring down at him and he turned back to face it.

"Toby?"
