The message was clear. A wanted something that Jay had, Aria would know what it will be. Charles said not to look at it or even tell her friends. It had been a few days since Charles told Aria what to do. She hadn't been able to get away from her friends or family. Ezra was with her 24/7. Her father is finally being nice to him. Spencer and Hanna stayed at nights when Byron asked Ezra to leave. It was Wednesday after school. Her parents believe that Aria would be around her friends and her friends believe that Aria will be going up to the private hospital for some updates on Jay's location.

Aria was lost in worry and thought when the drowning sound of someone calling her name hammered into her head. She looked around her and saw Ezra worried holding some boxes.

'Are you alright? Aria, what is wrong?' Ezra put the boxes down onto the car she was leaning on and held her shoulders. She looked like her tears, gathering up for her sister's freedom were leaking onto her chin. She couldn't hold it together anymore.

'Can you take me to Jay's hospital? Please.' Her voice was shaking and cracking. Still and without questioning her, Ezra helped her into his car. He walked over to his side of the car. As he walked he wondered what had spooked Aria ever since she got inside Jay's mind. He wondered if the answer lies at the hospital.

On the journey to the hospital, Aria felt the little air her sister was inhaling. She wanted to hurry up. To get her sister back to the hospital so that way she is be safe and sound. The two exchanged glances a few times in the car but didn't speak for the entire journey. Ezra wanted some answers on why she had told the guys and himself why she was going up with her family. That was when he saw the perfect moment to ask her. He pulled in to a break down area on the highway. He took out the keys and chucks them out of the car. Not too far though. When he did this Aria made a face at him.

'Why are we going up if your family and you were going up after school?' Ezra asked gently.

'Ezra, start the car and go, please.' Aria couldn't look at him. Not now. She didn't want to see him hurt. She could only imagine what Charles would do to her friends let alone what he would do to Ezra if she told him. It was when Ezra started to pout slightly. She couldn't give in.

'I can't tell you. I'm sorry.' She whispered. Ezra leaned back onto his seat. 'Fine, Charles, he wants me get something from Jay's room in the hospital, a memory stick. He wants me to get it. I mustn't look in it or tell anyone about it. He said he would hurt them. I don't want to see you hurt.' Her tears were streaming down her checks. Her hand and his chin. He smiles slightly.

'I can protect myself, you know.' He said. She looked down to where the scar was from the gunshot wound. She couldn't see it but she imagined it sitting there, mocking them. She smiled at him knowing that she should never doubt his strength. Ezra slowly got out of the car and got his car keys. Then they drove off to the private hospital.

During the car journey Aria fell asleep. It was a bad move but she was grad she didn't see Charles herself. This time in her sleep, Aria saw her sister. On the floor, writing something. One word per line. 'Images, Many, a tall affected light illusion, Seen Old Land Dock, People, Lots, Cameras, Enough.' Then Jay looked up at her. Jay's face was all bloody.

'Help.' Were the only words Aria got from her sister before Ezra waking her up to say she was at the hospital? Aria quickly sent a message to Spencer, helping her remembering the message Jay had wrote down.

Saw this in a dream with Jay writing it. Can you find out what it means? – Aria.

As she entered the hospital, some members of staff looked at her. Some people mustn't know that Jay has a twin sister. Then Aria saw Dr. Brain. Jay's doctor. The old man smiled as he saw Aria.

'How have you been?' the old man voice cracked. Aria smiled and nodded.

'Can I get into Jay's room please, some things I need to get.' Aria asked nicely. The old man laughed and nodded. The room smell was still Jay. Everything that belonged to Jay was still there. Her Life support chargers were in the same place they had always been. Being in this room brought back some memories. Ezra walked around looking at the pictures. He picked up a picture of the children when there were at least 3. Mike was only a baby. Ezra smiled at the picture. He looked at the girl who was standing in front of him and he couldn't believe that it was the same Aria in the picture. So innocent, loved by everyone. Surrounded by love. No harm would reach her.

Aria crawled under the bed like Charles said and saw the memory stick tucked away. She pulled it out and at the same time, her phone vibrated. Spencer was calling her. Hopefully some news on the message.

'Yeah Spencer?' Aria said loudly.

'Aria, the message, it's a location. With Mona's help we got it.' Spencer shouted from the other end. Aria put the call on speaker so Ezra could hear this.

'Well, where is she?' Aria asked. She was over excited. The other end was silence for a while before Emily spoke up.

'We don't really know.' She said quietly. Aria's face fell.

'But you said you had a location.' Ezra spoke for Aria. He was worried about the message.

'There could be many places on what she means.' Alison said.

'What is the message?' Ezra asked.

'Remember how Mona gave us the address to Maya's website, well Jay used that code. The first letters of each word.' Hanna said.

'The message was 'I'm at Ali's place.''
