Spencer felt a huge wave of relief wash over her as she walked out of the police station with her friends. It was still early and it was chilly. She was glad it was the weekend because she felt like the real Spencer Hastings now. Not the one A had made her into. If it had been a school day they would have missed their first two classes and she would be stressing out about it.

Melissa's funeral had been yesterday and she was certainly still morning her sister, but she felt like she could breathe

This morning she had gone downstairs, taking the girls for moral support, and told her parents that she had lied to the police. At first they had been a little surprised, but had understood why she had lied when she had explained. Or at least they had thought they understood. She had told them that Eddie Lamb was the one that had raped her and that she had been scared to say anything.

Before they had gone down to talk to Spencer's parents, the girls had discussed something that could potentially get them in a lot of trouble. Or danger. Spencer wanted to be completely honest about the whole situation, which meant she couldn't omit the fact that A was involved in both her rape and Melissa's death. Her friends had been dead set against her plan at first, but had finally agreed to go through with it.

After Spencer's parents had been filled in on part of the story she told them that there was more to the story, but they wanted to tell everyone together so they didn't have to repeat it over and over again. Soon the Hastings' living room was crowded with all of the people that were important to them. All of their parents and Aria's brother Mike, Jason and Mrs. D, Toby, Caleb, Paige, and Jake. Even Ezra. Spencer had told Aria that she didn't have to call him, but she had insisted that he deserved to be there since he knew that A was still messing with them. The only person missing was Emily's dad.

Once everyone was settled and the girls had their undivided attention they told them everything that had happened since Mona had been sent to Radley. They spilled everything they knew about the night Ali's body had gone missing, the new A, Red Coat, the fire at the lodge, and Wilden's death. They didn't leave a single detail out. When they were finished their audience sat in stunned silence for a long moment.

"You girls need to tell the police all of this." Pam Fields said, looking like she might start crying.

"We will." Spencer replied. "But we wanted to tell all of you first."

"We wanted you to hear it from us." Aria added. "Not from the news."

"I think this is a bad idea." Caleb said. "A isn't going to like you outing her."

"A can deal with it." Hanna said. There was a sense of determination and finality to her statement.

Their families and friends had waited at the Hastings house while the girls had gone to the police station. They had found Detectives Tanner and Holbrook and proceeded to repeat the whole story, once again making sure not to leave out a single detail. They answered the detectives' questions and told them that they suspected that Cece was involved and that Alison was still alive and mixed up in it all somehow.

"We'll do our best to find whoever is doing this to you girls." Detective Tanner promised. "And if nothing else, I promise you we will arrest Eddie Lamb."

Detective Holbrook asked Mona if Lamb had done, or attempted to do, anything to her while she had been a patient at Radley. The question took them all by surprise. None of them, not even Mona, had even thought about this.

She shook her head. "No. He seemed to like me more than the other patients, but there was nothing I felt I needed to be worried about. Not that I know of anyway. I suppose he might have tried something when I was heavily medicated. I thought Cece was Ali, so I was a little out of it at one point in time."

They hadn't told anyone that Mona's crazy act had been just that. An act to keep her out of jail. It wasn't exactly relevant anymore and, although they didn't all trust her completely, none of the girls wanted her to go to prison. They understood why she had tormented them. It wasn't all their fault, but they still felt party responsible.

When they walked out of the station not everyone felt as relieved as Spencer. Mona was wondering if she had been molested, or worse, by Eddie Lamb. The others were nervous, wondering what might happen next. None of them felt like attending anymore funerals. Ever.

They weren't even halfway down the steps when all five phones suddenly rang. They knew who it was before they read the message.

Game over, bitches. Kisses, A

"So…we won?" Hanna asked. "Did we beat A?"

"Or did she just declare World War A?" Spencer replied.

"There's no way it could be that easy." Aria agreed. "It's A."

They all knew she was right. They had taken the matter into their own hands and now they would have to wait for A to make her next move.

I'm obviously not following the storyline of the show, but I really like the whole World War A idea and I wanted to tie that in. So I borrowed Spencer's line from the summer finale. I have no idea where A's game is going, but I don't think it will hold me up too much. I know where I want this story to end and I really hope you guys like it when we get there.
