It was Friday evening. No one had dug up the box in Spencer's backyard. The girls had watched and waited for someone, anyone, to come snooping around. But no one came, and once again the girls were left with no answers. They were getting anxious, and beginning to cross Lucas off their list as the days came and went and no one showed.

"What if Lucas really isn't part of the 'A' game?" Spencer said dully, as she stared out of the window.

"I'm beginning to think he isn't. Whoever should be coming to dig up this box, hasn't come yet." Aria stated holding her hand up in defeat.

"Well, today isn't over yet." Emily commented as the girls sat in Spencer's kitchen as they had been doing all week. Hanna looked up at Emily and smiled. Emily grinned back at her, slightly cutting her eyes at her as if to say "Yea I see that smile." Aria saw them.

"What is it? You guys look like you're in each other's heads sharing an inside joke." Aria commented with a slight smile.

"No, just thinking and I think Em, here, can read my mind." Hanna said. Emily's eyes got wide for a split second, then she regained her composure.

"Or maybe she just thinks I know what's going on in her head." She teased. Aria and Spencer looked at each other, and then back at Hanna and Emily.

"I've seen these looks before." Spencer stated. Aria let out an excited gasp.

"Are you guys TOGETHER?" Aria started grinning. "Don't even deny it! Both of you are blushing! When did this happen?"

"Well, kind of... a little over a week ago." Emily mumbled smiling.

"Why didn't you tell us? And when did you start liking girls?" Spencer asked Hanna with a teasing smirk.

"Well, I started liking Emily, a long time ago. And yea it is true." Hanna walked over to Emily and put her arm around her. "And I don't know, we were still trying to figure out what we were feeling. We couldn't tell you two, when we didn't even know ourselves."

"Well, at least you don't have to worry about keeping a significant other out of the 'A' stuff. I mean, both of you get tormented anyway." Aria said half teasing the two.

"Thanks, Aria." Emily smiled, even with the slight sarcasm in her voice.

"Hey, just saying." Aria held her hands up.

"This isn't going to be easy for you two." Spencer said quietly. "We can't keep secrets from each other. From now on, we have to tell each other what goes on in our lives. Because 'A' wants one of us to join it's team. And in order to do that, it has to turn us on each other. We cannot give in to them. It. She. Whatever 'A' is!"

"I agree completely." Hanna said grabbing Emily a little tighter.

"It's getting late. Let's all go up to my room and see if our little suspect comes around tonight." Spencer offered, and the girls accepted the challenge.

It was Hanna and Emily's turn to watch the window, while Spencer and Aria tried to sleep. Emily sat near the window sill in Spencer's big chair, and Hanna sat on the same chair in front of her. She leaned back against Emily and sighed.

"Do you really think that Lucas is innocent?" Hanna asked, touching Emily's hand with her own. She ran her fingers over the top of Emily's hand very slowly.

"I don't know, Hanna. But I hope so. I don't even see how he pulled that money stunt, much less how he could be on 'A's side. I just don't believe that." Emily responded, running her fingers across the palm of Hanna's hand.

"Me either. I don't know why they're doing this to us. 'A' is obviously more than one person... Especially with Jenna involved. You know she is. She was driving, Em. Driving. She lied to Toby and everyone else. It's bullshit. Her eyes are fine. Or at least one of them is for her to be driving." Hanna ranted.

"I've been thinking a lot about that. I don't think Garrett is innocent, but I don't think he planned all of this either. I know Jenna got him to do her dirty work. And in order for her to get him to be on her side, she pretended to need him, she dated him. I wouldn't be surprised if she had asked him to get that coroner's report of Ali's death and then framed him." Emily said holding Hanna close to her.

"Oh my God, Emily! What if she-"

"Did you see that?" Emily cut her off. Hanna jerked up and looked out of the window.

"What? I do-"

"Look! Right there!" Emily whispered pointing to the left corner of Spencer's yard.

And in that spot, Hanna saw the shadow, lurking in the night.
