Chapter 4: Moments Later
Marco Furey's POV
(Last Night) Toby and I went to this abandoned house cause some neigbor filled a complain saying they always hear a lot of screams and weird noises coming from that house and nobody lives there, so we came to check it out, the first floor is literally empthy, no furniture, nothing at all, then I saw The door to the basement "hey, im gonna go see if theres anything in the basement" I said
"Ok, i'll check the backyard" Toby said
I went down the stairs to the basement, I didn't think I was gonna find anything, I could already see myself going next door to that lady to tell her there was nothing to see in that house when I went down I heard some thing, it was really quiet, it sounded like... I don't know... kind like handcuffs. I got closer to that noise and see somebody and chain behind them.
"Hello? Who's there?" I said
"Oh my god, Marco, is that you?" Spencer said, wait SPENCER!
"Spencer!" I said putting my gun away and sitting on the floor next to her, thats when I can actually see her, she looks terrible, poor thing, she's so full of scars and bruises and blood and she's chained by her waist, she huggs me and I realize how much weigh she's lost, she also starts crying on my shoulder, I hug her back "shhh its okay Spence, everything's gonna be okay" I say she just keeps sobbing.
"Hey" I say pulling away a little "Toby's upstairs im just gonna let him know youre here okay?" I asked and she nodded so I took my walkie-talkie
(A/N: I really don't know if that thingy cops use is called a walkie-talkie but whatever you know what I mean) "Toby, Toby can you hear me?"
"Yeah, whats up? Did you find something?"
"Yeah, Spencer's here"
"What?!" He yelled and I heard his footsteps running towards the stairs.
"Spence!" He said as he came towards us, I pulled away so he coud hug her.
I stood up and called for back up and an ambulance while Toby tried to take to chain off her, he was odviously not sucessfull so I went to the squad car and got out a tool that could break the chain.
Once it was broken and Spencer was free she tried to get up but she must have twisted her ankle or something because she couldn't stand up, so Toby picked her up bridal style, I ran up the stairs because I heard the ambulance, They brought her in and Toby and I got in too, we went to the hospital with her.
The doctor said she had a lot of cuts, scars and bruises and she'll had to stay a while in the hospital but she'll be fine, since her parents got here I was gonna go and Toby seemed like he was gonna follow me.
"Wait!" Spencer said
"Something wrong?" I said at the same time Toby said "are you ok?!" Both of us worried
"Can you guys stay with me? I know my parents are here but theyre probably gonna spend the whole night figthing with the cops and the doctors besides they don't have guns, I'll just feel safer if you guys stay, please?"
"Yes, of course" Toby and I said at the same time, we both chuckled about it and sat on the chairs to both of her sides, nobody said a word and I saw Spencer fall asleep about 5 minutes later.
(Today) "I called Tanner, she dosen't believe me" I said walking into the room, I see Toby sitting in the couch, Spencer's mom sitting on the bed right next to her and her dad is standing up on The other side of the bed.
"What do you mean she dosen't believe you?!" Toby asked
"I told her that Spencer saw her kidnapper and sh-"
"Wait what!" Spencer's mom interrupted me "you know who did this to you" She asked looking at Spencer, I could see her tense by the way her mom was looking at her, guess its not a lie the Hastings are scary as hell, I would know since they called me the night Spencer went missing and all they did was scream like crazy throught the phone.
"Yeah" Spencer answered quietly
"Why didn't you tell anyone Spencer?!" Her dad said, he sounds mad, why is he mad? He thought his youngest daugther was dead but she's alive, isn't that a reason to be happy? Besides just look at her!, You can ser the pain in her eyes and he just comes in and talks to her like that?! What the actual fuck? Control your anger Marco, its none of your bussiness, thats how that family must work.
"I ... told ... them" she said slowly and quietly, I can tell Spencer's really scared of her parents.
"Did you tell your supirior?" her dad asked me
"Yeah, I just told her but she dosen't believe me" I repeated
"Damn it, you said Tanner, right?" Her mom asked and I nodded "she has always hated you!, Its not fair, you should be able to count on the police force, especially if you were just kidnapped" her mom says, its clear she's angry but her voice sounds calm, she starts stroking Spencer's hair as more tears came to her eyes. "Are you okay sweetheart?" Her dad asked, he must have noticed her tears too.
"Yeah, but what am I gonna do if Tanner won't look for him, she dosen't even believe he kidnapped me"
"Wh?" Her dad asked.
"Holbrook" Toby said quickly, both of Spencer's parents turned to look at him.
"Why does that sound familiar?" Her mom asked
"Because he used to work here as a detective, when Spencer was in high school" Toby continued
"He was the one who arrested me for Bethany's murder" Spencer said quietly, my eyes widen but I don't say anything, I didn't know she was arrested for murder!, Why is that not on her records?!, I wouldn't have missed it!.
"He got fired for changing the results of the lie detector test so that Alison could pass it" Toby said "I haven't heard from him since them"
"Me neither" Spencer said "well until six months ago" she said looking down again and wiping her own tears, her mom hugged her and kept stroking her hair.
"I can call someone who has more power than Tanner, don't you worry Spencer we're gonna get him, I promise" I said looking at her, she nodded then my phone rang, Spencer jumped a little, I just realized she jumps with every small sound or movement there is, god she must so traumatized.
"Its Tanner, Excuse me" I say and go outside to answer
Alison's POV
I get out of the shower and realize how long I took, Im so late for my brunch with Em, Aria and Han, I don't like saying the girls because it sounds like were complete and were not, Spence is gone.
I get dressed as quickly as my 6 month pregnant belly let me and then I check my phone, I have 20 missed calls from Aria, 42 from Emily, 18 from Hanna, about 100 messages in the group chat I have with them and about 13 voice mails from each, Okay I know im a little late, okay fine really late but im also really pregnant, give me a break.
I was gonna read the texts and listen to the voice mails but I thought it would be easier to just call Emily.
"Hey Em?"
"Omg Ali we've been trying to reach you for like half an hour, where the hell were you?!" She screamed at me, she sounded kind mad.
"In the shower, why do I have so many calls from you and Aria and Hanna? What happened?!"
"They found Spencer"
"WHAT?!" I screamed at the top of lungs, are does happy tears coming out of my eyes? Yep, definetly but I mean can you blame my best friend is alive! She's okay, she's safe.
"Ali! What wrong?" Jason said coming into the room, he and Mary have been staying in the house since I told them I was pregnant, they've also learned to be civilized with each other and I couldn't be more thankfull for that.
"Yeah, im fine, Jason im great, the cops just found Spencer" I said smiling.
"What?! OMG thats amazing!" He said hugging me.
"Hello? Ali? Are you still there?!" Emily asked, I forgot no one ended the call.
"Yes, im here, Em where are you? Where's Spencer? I wanna see her!" I said
"Well were in hospital outside her room but they won't let us in" She said
"What floor?, What room?" I asked
"215 in the 3rd floor"
"Great Jason and I are on our way" I said
"Okay bye" she said and hang up.
Jason and I went downstairs to leave, when we saw Mary, she turned and asked if there was something wrong, she must have heard my scream too, we should tell her right? I mean Spencer is her daugther after all, I haven't told anyone because Mary begged me not to.
If Spencer was here sooner I would have odviously told her but she wasn't. I'll tell her, soon, probably not now, she's been throught enough for at least a while.
"They found Spencer" Jason said
"What?! Is she okay?" Mary yelled practically jumping off the couch.
"I don't know, were gonna go see her right now but I think its better if you don't come" I said slowly, and realize how quickly her smile faded.
"She dosen't know about you, she dosen't even know she's adopted, its the best for her, at leats for now" Jason said
"Yeah, ok, that makes sense" She said sadly and sat back down "let me know how she's doing, please"
"Of course" I said
Aria's POV
We been in this stupid hospital for about an hour and that little bitch of a nurse won't fricking let us in, who the hell is she to tell me I can't see my besfriend who I've been missing for 6 months? 6 god damned months without Sparia.
I see Furey come out of her room, He's talking on the phone but none of us give a damn, we basically tackled him.
"No, no no you don't understand Tan-" He started saying but cut himself off when he saw us, we were still able to hear to other person yelling like crazy throught the phone.
"You know what I have to do something I'll call you back" he said and hang up.
"How is Spencer?"
"Is she awake?"
"Can we see her, please?" We all started saying.
"Okay, okay girls slow down, one at the time, yes she is awake, she's full of scars and bruises and she seems really traumatized but the doctors say she will be fine, now I don't know if you can see her, its not up to me"
"Come on, she's our best friend and we have missed her so much! I bet she wants to see us" Hanna said
"I agree, but im not a doctor, I can't let you in"
"Oh come on, youre a cop, cop beats doctor!" I said
"Not in a hospital"
"Well at least tell us how she's doing, what she has said" Emily asked
"She hasn't really said much, I don't wanna pressure her, but she did tell me who kidnapped her" he said
"What?! Who?!" Hanna said, just then Toby came out of the room.
"Hey" he said
"Hey, so who kidnapped her?" Emily said
"Do you remember Holbrook?" Toby asked
"Urgg the little fucker" Hanna said
"Holbrook kidnapped her?!" I yelled
"Shhh" Toby and Marco said with a worried face.
"Sorry" I murmured
"Its fine, look Spencer is with her parents, theyre talking to Melissa on the phone but wheb they are done she said she'll answer my questions but I know you girls like to change the stories a little bit so you should go in and catch really quickly ONLY on the important stuff before Tanner gets here" Toby said and in that moment her parents came out of the room.
"I'll go talk to the doctor about lack of security or some shit like that, to distract him" Marco said and we all nodded as we came knto the room.
When I first saw her, I almost pass out, I didn't know a person was able to have so many injuries.
Spencer's POV
I have to tell somebody everything, but Im just scared, I don't know what to do anymore.
Right after my parents I see Hanna, Emily and Aria come in, I've missed so much I thought I would never see their faces again.
"Hey" I said weakly
"Spence!" Hanna said smiling, she ran over to me and hugged me, It wasn't very thight, I guess she was told she should be careful and she was reallh careful but it still hurt like hell, I try to ignore but Aria most have seen it in my face "Hanna pull away youre gonna kill her" she said sacarstically.
"Oh my god, im so sorry ate you okay? does it hurt? Im so sorry, I just missed you a lot and-"
"Han, its okay" I cut her off laughing
"I missed you a lot too, all of you" I said and the 3 of them hugged me at the same time, this time more carefully but it still hurt a lot.
"Guys" I said after while of the long hug because I couldn't take it anymore "im sorry but it really hurts a lot" I said and they all pulled away instantly.
"Im sorry, are you okay?" Aria asked
"Yeah, yeah, im fine, but I really need to talk to somebody, I was too tired last night, and my parents have around ever since, I was hoping I could talk to you guys, Toby and Marco" I said
"Well I can tell Toby to come in and Ali and Jason are on their way but Marco is distrating the doctor since we are not supposed to be able to come in"
"Oh" Spencer said quietly just then Ali comes in.
"Hey, Spence how are you?" She said and came over to hug me.
"Be careful!" Hanna said and I laughed, then Em came in with Toby and Jason behind her, I didn't even noticed she left.
"Hey Spencer how are you?" Jason hugging me too "Hanna says to be careful" Ali said and I laughed again.
"Okay guys I really need to tell you what happened"
"Spence I don't think thats a good idea" Toby said
"Why not?" I asked
"You know how you told you told me you would answer all the questions I had?" I nodded and he continued "Tanner called and I told you would answer my questions just to shut her up and she thought that meant she was invited to hear the answers, which she is not, so im sorry but she's on her way here"
"Damn it" I murmured, "Tanner always so mean to me!" She said sadly.
"I know and im so sorry"
Toby's POV
Its been about 20 minutes since Tanner got here, everyone else left and it was just me, Spencer and Tanner, Marco had to go back to the station I don't know whu, Spencer was not happy about that, its one less person backing her up.
I have asked all the questions and wrote down her answers And Tanner always butted in to say something really insensitive, when we were almost done and Spencer said she wanted to sleep, I said we should go but stupid Tanner just wouldn't.
"I know theres something youre not telling me" She yelled
"Hey! Leave her alone, she already told everything what else do you want!" I said
"I know theres something else!" She kept screaming, I was trying to shut her up while Spencer layed in her bed silently
"Well im sorry that I don't wanna share my rape experience with you!" Spencer screamed all of a sudden, Tanner just kept staring at her, she didn't believe her, what a surprise!
I can't believe Holbrook would dare to touch her, im gonna kill him if Tanner dosen't wanna look for him I will, I'll find him and I'll kill him with my own bare hands, only this time ot won't be an accident, unlike with Charlotte.
