Caleb was doing business as usual with the customer he talked with on the phone when he was with Hanna. He was trying to set the kid at ease when suddenly she comes up and starts acting very strange. "Caleb …Hey sorry to interrupt but um you might not wanna be doing this on the street." Hanna says in a quiet voice as if this is something sketchy which it's not. "Hey hey bryan wait up." Caleb calls after the skater looking kid who is trying to bolt as fast as he can. "Hey let him go." Hanna insist as she grabs his arm and goes on "You cannot be doing business out on-" but Caleb interrupts her and sighs having had enough. "You know what Hanna? No more lectures on going legit. I'm not trading up for a paper hat at bennies burgers. This is how I make my money. Get over it." He thought Hanna understood. He guessed he was wrong. It was obvious they couldn't talk about that anymore.
Caleb stood at the corner texting Hanna waiting for her to meet him. He wondered what was keeping her. He looked over a noticed a car –was it just him or did it look familiar? Nah it didn't. Now where was Han- Suddenly with tires screeching he sees Hanna's face in the drivers seat with a scarf around her head and big sunglasses. "Caleb get in!" She exclaims with no other explanation. "What's going on?" He asks confused looking at her. "Just hurry up get in!" she orders him. Wow this is weird. "I thought you wanted to catch a movie." He stated turning to her as he sat down in the passenger seat. "Close the door!" Hanna says using the same tone. This is getting weirder by the minute but he'll play along. "Or we can just be in one." He stated hoping it would break the ice but it didn't so he continued with another question but it was another one he didn't get an answer too. "Why are you dressed like that?" She simply squeals of tires getting away from where they are. She doesn't stop until they are far from Rosewood. They walk into a strange abandoned old huge house which Hanna seems to not be worried about them trespassing one bit.
"What is this place?" He asked quietly. "It belongs to Spencer's family" Hanna shrugs as she turns on lights to make the huge room not so dark. "I'm guessing so does most of Pennsylvania." Caleb laughs then has to ask "Do they know we're here?" Without any shame or hesitation Hanna simply says "Nope" They move around setting things up. "So… we're breaking in?" Caleb asked casually. He never thought he'd see this. It was definitely a first. "We're borrowing it." Hanna explains quickly then changes the subject by asking a random question "Is this kindling?" "Not unless we wanna burn the couch." He laughs as he pulls off the sheet from it. He knew even though she was acting strange it was still his Hanna who he loved. "Can I help?" He offered reaching his hand forward and bent down to start a fire. "So you gonna lose the scarf and shades at some point or did you bring a costume for me too?" He asked unable to resist and partly wanting to figure out what was going on.
"Caleb there's someone following you." She admitted as she took off her sunglasses. "What?" He questioned needing to know more as he got up from the crackling fire to sit next to her. "I think it's a cop." She explained. "He drives a dark grey Camaro and I've seen him around town a lot lately. He's definitely watching you. You haven't noticed him?" She went on then asked him looking at him with sad eyes. "No. But then again I guess I kinda stopped looking." Caleb admits. "Have you been followed before?" She asked looking at him but he just gives her a look "Does this have to do with the stuff you did in Allentown?" She asked quietly he knew she wasn't trying to start something. "Maybe .Look I've told you way more then you need to know." Caleb said hoping with that part she would drop it. "What does he want?" Hanna asked frustration evident in her voice. "I mean if he wants to arrest you what's he waiting for What does he think you did?" She asked him her voice not harsh but typical Hanna she was being honest.
He liked and didn't like Hanna knowing what he had done. On the one hand it helped her feel close to him and understand where he was coming from but at times with darker stuff like this he was afraid it put a damper on her seeing the good in him. "I don't know." Caleb said silently wishing he knew then continued in true Caleb fashion "But if he has a question he needs to come up and ask me. I'm not hiding." "Well maybe you should be." Hanna responded back quickly. "Your business isn't exactly in the yellow pages" Hanna stated with regret in her voice as she didn't look at him and looked down at the floor.
The wheels in Caleb's heads are turning from what she said. She was worried he was going to leave again. He had to keep himself from wincing. He can't be mad at her, why wouldn't she think that? He had to prove her wrong that he wasn't that kind of guy anymore. "This is why you brought me here?" He questioned fully fixed on her. "I thought you might be safer here." She admitted ,still not looking at him. "I don't want to hide….Hanna I'll deal with this." He told her gently and she looked up at him. "By leaving town again?" She asked quietly still focused on him. He shook his head in response "This time no, I won't." He said quietly. "You say that now but you will." Hanna concluded with such a sad tone in his voice as she looked away it hurt. "Hanna." He said sadly trying to make her understand as he moved closer to her on the couch as he took off her scarf and ran his finger through her hair. He was trying to show how he cared and to make sure she was listening when he said this. "I'm not going anywhere." He said softly but sounded as if he meant it.
Thankfully it seemed Hanna hasn't lost all faith in him her response to what he said is typical Hanna "If you do can I go with you? I'll pack really fast!" She jokes and he laughs in response. but he has a feeling that what she's saying is not wrong because not only that she reminds him "Seriously you know that I'm good at camping." She also leans her forehead closer to his. He smiles at her and suddenly she's leaned forward and kissing him and he's bringing her closer and they don't stop.
He gets a voicemail from Hanna asking him to see her as soon as she could. Her voice sounded strange rough and a bit hoarse. They met at a coffee shop. "Hey." He said a smile on his face at seeing her. She didn't look so happy. He hoped it wasn't him. "Hey." She said quietly. "Is everything okay Hanna?" He asked looking at her intently. "My dad left again. Not a word to me just left." She said with extreme hurt in her voice. He immediately took her in her arms. "I'm here for you." He stated and did his best to try and soothe her. She poured out the whole story. How it had seemed to be going well Hanna had heard things were tense with Isobel how happy her parents had been-and they just fell apart-again. She even told him how her dad had stayed the night. He'd run back to Isobel and found his new family thanks to her mom. "I know what you need." He said softly and her a favorite frozen yogurt flavor of hers and gave it to her. "Thank you Caleb she said softly as they sat down by the road because all the other stores wouldn't let you bring in food other food places gave you the stink eye if you brought foreign food to their place.
"Maybe you should at least call your dad." Caleb suggested hesitantly as he wrapped his arms around her. "Why? We're never gonna be that." Hanna said in a defeated voice as she looked at the loving family at Lucky Leon's. . She leaned against him and put her head on her shoulder seeming to forget the yogurt she had but Caleb didn't' care. He knew this was really hard on her and was doing everything he could to make her feel better.
