For a moment, Spencer just sat there in complete silence with a blank expression on her face. Toby couldn't tell what she was thinking. Hearing that your sister's body was found Isn't the kind of news anyone wants to hear.

"I'm sorry what did you say was in the barrel?"

Toby sighed. "Melissa's body was in the barrel."

"You don't mean Melissa as in my sister?"

"What other Melissa do you know."

"No," Spencer shook her head. "No, it couldn't have been Melissa."

"But it was."

"No," Spencer got up from the couch and started pacing back and forth.

"Spencer, I know what I saw."

"You saw wrong. Melissa is in London away from all of this mess."

"The police are running test and the body in the barrel is Melissa."

"If it was Melissa, wouldn't my parents know?"

"They didn't want to give out that information just yet."

"Melissa is in London. There is no way her body was in that barrel. She can't be dead on one continent and alive on another."

Toby stood up off the couch and walked over to Spencer. When he did, she took two steps back. Toby sighed.

"Spencer don't do this."

"Do what!?" She shouted. "You're standing here trying to tell me my sister is dead when I know she's alive."

"How do you know Melissa's been in London?"

"That's what she said in her video. My dad dropped her off at the airport."

"When was the last time you heard from her?"

"I don't know before I got arrested on Thanksgiving."

"And why do you think that is? Why do you think you haven't heard from her since?"

"Because she's trying to keep a low profile."

"Spencer..."

"No!" She practically screamed. "It wasn't Melissa. You're lying. You're just trying to cover the truth."

"Why would I lie about someone being dead?"

"You lied about your death."

"That was totally different and I never lied about my own death. Mona made it up."

"And how hard did you fight her on it? How hard did you try to let me know that you were alive? Did you even fight at all?"

"Spencer, I know you're just saying all this because you're upset, but I'm telling the truth. Melissa's body was in the barrel."

Spencer stood silently for a long time. She swept the hair out of her face and sniffle. This can't be true. Melissa can't be gone. Not her sister. Melissa's a fighter. She would not go down without a fight. The Hastings were raised to fight to the death for what they wanted. Maybe that's what she did. Melissa probably fought hard to find answers and ended up getting the death penalty as her punishment. But Spencer can't seem to get her brain to believe it. Not until she hears him say it.

"I want to hear you say it," she spoke through the lump in her throat.

He stared at her with confusion, not completely understanding what she means.

"I want to hear you say it," she repeated. "Tell me she's dead."

"Spencer..."

"Say it or I won't believe it."

He took a deep breath and said, "Melissa's body was in the barrel. Melissa is dead."

Spencer put her hand over her mouth and let out a sob she didn't even know she was holding in. "No," she kept repeating and shook her head frantically. Toby walked across the way and brought her into his arms. She held her arms around his neck, buried her face into his chest, and sobbed. Spencer was crying so hard that she couldn't even keep herself up. If Toby wasn't holding her right now she probably would have collapsed to the ground by now.

Toby picked Spencer up and carried her over to the couch where they sat and he held her like a baby just letting her cry on him. Spencer and Melissa didn't have the best sister relationship. Toby knows that. Anybody with eyes could see that. They fought a lot and disagreed on mostly everything. They've competed with each other trying to be the best at everything. They lied to each other, kept secrets, and even said they hated each other. But despite all that, they were family and they cared about each other. After all, they were sisters.

Spencer finally stopped crying and whipped her nose on his shirt. She lifted her head off his chest and he brushed her hair out of her face and whipped her tears. She sniffled again.

"Do the cops know anything else?"

"They're pretty sure she was murdered."

"By who? Do they have any suspects?"

He shook his head, "Not at the moment."

Spencer clenched her fist into his shirt.

"I want to find the person that killed her and I want to kill them."

"Spencer don't be too hasty."

"I'm serious!" She snapped. "Whoever did this will pay."

"Who do you think would kill Melissa?"

"I don't know Wren, Jason, Holbrook. Anyone could have done it. When I find out who, I'll have them begging on their knees for mercy."

"It's getting late and you haven't eaten anything since you got home."

"I'm not hungry."

"You have to eat something before your blood sugar drops."

She sighed, "maybe some toast and juice will be fine."

"Okay," he kissed the top of her head. "I'll be right back."

Toby got off the couch and walked into her kitchen to get her toast ready. Spencer pulled her knees up against her chest and sat back against the couch. Her mind was racing. Melissa is dead. Did -A kill her? If Alison is -A then she must have had somebody get rid of Melissa for her. Just then Spencer's phone beeped. Of course it's a text from that bitch. I bet you're dying to know who I am, just like Melissa was dying to find me-A

Spencer clenched her phone in her hands as tears clouded her eyes. -A killed Melissa. That bitch killed her sister. Now Spencer is more determined than ever to find out who -A is. But -A wouldn't be the one to kill her. That bitch probably got somebody to do the dirty deed for them. It doesn't matter who killed Melissa, in Spencer's mind their both dead.

"Toby can you do me a favor?"

He set her plate of toast on the coffee table.

"Anything."

"Can you bringmemylap top? I want to see what I can find out about this Jonny guy."

-A ending

Jonny walked down the dark path and waited. He checked his watch and it's almost 11pm. They said they'd be here before then. He paced around for a little bit and kicked at the sidewalk below his sneakers. The slow howle of the wind alarmed him that a storm is brewing. He spun around when he heard someone's feet crunching on a leaf. There standing at the end of the road was a figure cloacked in a black hoodie. The figure stepped forward.

"I did what you told me to," Jonny said.

The figure nodded and stepped forward. They handed him an envople.

"What's this?" Jonny asked.

"Finish the job," the figure said.

Jonny openedtheenvolp and gasped at what was inside. He stared at it for a moment, looked up at the figure, and then nodded. The figure nodded back then turned to run down the street. Jonny pulled up his jacket and made a straight shot to his car.

Uh oh, what does Jonny have to do with -A? And what did -A give him. The biggest question, who is -A? Keep reading to find out. Also do you think Spencer will find out the truth about Jonny? What is the truth about Jonny?
