Aria walked into Spencer's house after Emily opened the door for her with angry stomps. Emily exchange glances with Spencer and Hanna who sits in the living room. They all are watching Aria. She comes late for their sleepover. They can guess where she went, considering her boyfriend lives next door. And her bad mood definitely have something to do with him too.

"Are you fighting with Jason or something?" Spencer asked her bluntly.

Aria scoffed and throws herself on the couch. "I wouldn't call that a fight." The others exchange glances again and turned to Aria, waiting for her to elaborate more with the story.

Aria sighed and tells what happened to her friends. "I'm sure there must be some explanation about this." Emily said to Aria after she finished tells the whole story.

"Did you even give him a chance to explain it?" Hanna also said.

Aria glared at her two best friends. "You're not seriously defending him?" Aria asked with a disbelief tone. "There is a girl, half naked in his house, wearing his shirt!"

"That's when Jason's explanation is supposed to come in." Hanna said.

Aria rolled her eyes. "You don't even trust him in the beginning, now all of the sudden you all are pro Jason?"

"I was always pro Jason." Hanna said again. "Even when you're still dating Fitz." Hanna pointed Spencer and Emily. "You can ask the two of them."

Emily nodded. "She really is." Emily said. "So you can take it all on her." Emily added. Hanna glared at her while Emily smirks.

Aria looked at the two girls and sighed. They can't even acts serious about this. Jason really is starts to rub on them. "Listen, Aria." Spencer opened her mouth. "I'm the last person in the world that wants to defend Jason DiLaurentis."

"So don't." Aria said.

Spencer ignores her. "I know that he's been proved more than enough that we can trust him. But I still not sure whether I can trust him or not. I had a feeling that he is hiding something from us." Spencer said, remembering what happen at the psychiatric hospital.

"He is. He admitted that he is hiding something from me, and he doesn't plan on telling me." Aria said, still with an angry tone.

Spencer nodded. Aria's answer confirms her suspicious. "That's why I can't really trust him. What in the world that he want to hide from us in this situation? But one thing I do sure is that he loves you. I think he is also already proved more than enough that you're the only one for him, that he will do anything for you. He won't cheat on you."

Aria sighed as she shook her head. "I can't believe that you all are defending him."

"Aria." Emily is just about to say something else when Aria raised her hand to stop her.

"Can we not talk about this?" Aria said. She knows that her friends are right. She also can feel the love that Jason gives her. But sadly, that isn't enough for her at the moment. Aria looked at all her friends. "Let's just talk about Friday. So what's the plan?"

The girls exchanged the glances with each other and sighed. They knows how determined is Aria when she was like this. There is nothing they can say that will get through her now. "So I already get my permission when my parents called earlier." Spencer said.

"You are sure doesn't waste any time." Emily teased her. Spencer rolled her eyes on her, demands her answer too. "I'm free. I can go anywhere." Emily said.

Spencer turned to Hanna. "I already get the permission from my mom for both me and Emily."

Spencer turned to Aria for the last. Aria sighed and nodded. "I already told my mom. She was confused that I even considered of going camping. But it's all done."

"Good. The first step is done." Spencer said. She looked at the others. "We will go just after the school is over. Toby will pick me and Emily." Emily nodded. And then she looked at Aria. There is a doubt on Spencer's face. "Jason is supposed to drive you, Hanna and Caleb."

Aria stared at Spencer. "Change of plan, then. He's not coming." Aria said, firmly.

"Aria." Spencer is trying to persuade her.

"I'll go talk to my mom. I think we can use her car. It is Friday. She didn't need to go anywhere and my dad can pick her up after school." Aria said, before Spencer says another word.

Spencer sighed and nodded. "Fine." She thinks about Ella Montgomery's car. "We don't need Toby's truck then. We can all ride together." Spencer said. The others nodded in agreement.

"So what's the plan after we arrived there?" Aria asked their main problem.

Hanna nodded. "Please tell me that you already have a plan. We can't just search inch by inch on a thousand acres of woods." Spencer is just rolled her eyes.

"Maybe we should just wait until Josh comes back from his camping trip." Emily starts to back down.

Spencer glared at her. "We can't wait two weeks!" Spencer said. "This is the closest we've been to the truth. We can't give up now." Spencer looked at the girls. "I have a feeling that Josh can give us the answer that we're looking for. We just have to find him." The others exchange glances with each other. "I'll go by myself if I can." Spencer added.

Aria turned to her. "No. we're in together. We're gonna do it together or nothing at all." Aria said. They are look at each other and nodded.

"Aria is right. We have to do this together; because we know that no matter what will happen, we're gonna have each other's back." Hanna also said. Hanna reached for Emily's hand while Emily reached for Aria and Aria reached for Spencer's. They are never feeling closer to the truth than right now. They are sure that they will get the answer this time.


Friday is come so fast. Aria stepped out from the school to the parking lot because they all are supposed to meet there. When she walked into the parking lot, she notices Jason who was standing there. Jason is always standing there in the last few days after the school is over. And Aria keeps ignoring him. But there is something different about him today. Aria notice the bag that right beside him.

Aria walked to him. "What are you doing here?" Aria is pointing to the bag. "And what is that?"

Jason rolled his eyes on her. Jason knows that Aria knows why he was bringing a bag. "Today's Friday."

"And you're not coming." Aria walked past him, makes him turned around and followed her.

"I can't let you go without me. It is too dangerous." Jason said tries to get some sense into her.

Aria stopped walking and looked at him. "And I can't spend a few days stuck with you with nowhere else to go." Aria said.

Jason sighed. "Aria." Jason knows that Aria is still angry with him.

And Aria knows that doesn't make Jason less worried about her. "There are six of us. I'm not going alone. Hanna went camping all the time. So you don't have to worry."

Hearing Aria's words, he knows that she still cares about him. No matter how angry she is, she was still doesn't want him to be worried. Jason rubbed his neck out of frustrations. "You know that I don't cheat on you. You know how much I love you."

"And clearly that wasn't enough for you to tell me what is that you've been hiding." Aria said with a sad tone.

Jason reached for Aria's hand. "You know I will never hurt you, Aria. Can you just trust me?"

Aria rolled her eyes on him. "I trust you!" Aria stated. Aria pulled out her hand. "It is you that doesn't trust me." Aria added.

Jason sighed again while he shook his head. "It isn't like that, Aria. Of course I trust you."

"But?" Aria added before Jason can ever say it. Jason rubbed his forehead. Aria sighed. "Lately our conversation always ended up in nowhere. I'm tired, Jason." Aria looked at Jason. "Maybe you should take some time apart."

Jason stared at Aria. "I can't believe you even considered that. After everything that we've been through to be together, you're just gonna give up on us? Is this really the end that you wanted?"

Aria stared back at him. "Of course not!" Aria shouted at him. She was mad. "I love you so much, Jason. You were the first boy that I fell in love with. And finally, after all of this time, we're together. It is like a dream." But more than ever, she feels hurt. She looked at Jason. "But this is real life, Jason. We can't keep living in the dreams. I can't pretend like nothing happened when I know that you're hiding something from me."

Jason really couldn't say anything at the moment. "Aria." Just her name. Jason is trying to reach her hand again, but she pulled away.

Aria spotted Spencer, Hanna and Emily also Caleb already gathers at the parking lot. And she saw Toby walked by across the street. "Let's talk again later, after the camping trip." Aria said when she sees them walking to them.

"We're really had to go." Spencer said pointed her watch.

The others just nodded. Caleb patted Jason's back. "Hey man. You're coming?"

"No, he isn't." Aria said. "Let's go."

Toby also gives Jason a pat on his back. "I'm sorry, man. Hang in there." Toby said. Caleb just nodded. The three of them get along just fine. After his sort of fight with Aria, Jason seek companion from them. Caleb and Toby literally are his best friends at the moment, considering Ian is dead and Garrett is their person of interest.

Hanna and Emily gives Jason an apologetic looks before jumped into the car. Aria already jumped into the car before them. Spencer just looked at him and sighed. Caleb and Toby shakes his hand before walked to the car.

"Hey guys." Jason called them before they can get into the car.

"We know." Caleb said before Jason can say anything.

"Yeah, don't worry about it. We're not gonna let anything happen with any of the girls." Toby also said.

"We'll protect Aria too." Caleb said again.

Jason nodded in smile. He loves how he could just look at them and they already understand him. He never has that before. "Thanks." Jason said before Caleb and Toby get into the car and drives away.

They drive about four hours until they finally arrive at the Middleton Woods. They are arrives after sunset. The day is almost dark. Usually a search should be done when it's day time. But Hanna thought their chances of finding Josh is bigger when it's nighttime, because he'll be sleeping and stay at a place.

"I tie three ropes. Each of them is a hundred meters long. So if any of us lost, we can always found our way back here. We're gathering here again in an hour." Hanna explains the plan to them all. Hanna already ties three ropes to a tree so they won't get lost.

And they search in groups. Hanna with Caleb, Spencer with Toby and Aria is with Emily. Aria and Emily walked through the dark woods hand in hand. Emily went camping before. Once. And Aria never went camping so the two of them are actually frightened to go deep in the woods.

"Are you sure we're going on a straight line?" Aria asked.

Emily sighed. "I think so." Emily said. Emily can feel Aria is rolling her eyes on her. "Just keep walking, okay?"

They are just about to walk again when Aria heard a voice. "Is that Spencer? She is screaming." Aria said.

"It is just a wind." Emily said.

"I heard her." Aria insisted.

"I heard it too. It is just a wind. Can you feel how cold it is?" Emily also insisted. But she can see how worried Aria is. "She is with Toby. She is fine. And if something happened to them, they will light the flare." Hanna distributed flares to them all in case something happened. Aria stared at the skies, waiting on flare. But there is nothing in it.

"Maybe it is just wind." Aria said, finally. They already waited for a few minutes and still no flare. They are supposed to light the flare if something happened. Aria decided that she heard wrong. "Let just continue." Emily nodded.

They are walking again until the end of the rope. So they are already walking for a hundred meters. "Is it one hour already?" Aria turned to Emily.

Emily looked at her watch. "It is almost two hours. They must be freak out." Emily said.

"Let's go back."

They are holding on the rope to their original place. But when they arrive there, none of them returned yet. "Are you sure it is already more than one hour?" Aria asked.

Emily sighed. "We're going at nine. Now it's almost eleven." Emily said.

"They are supposed to be here." Aria said. There is a worried tone in her voice.

"Maybe they are just running late, like us. Or maybe they found Josh. Just don't jumps into conclusion yet." Emily said, before Aria could say anything else.

Aria stared at Emily. "I didn't say anything." She protested.

"But you're thinking of it." Emily knows Aria so well.

Aria sighed. "Can you blame me considering our luck?" Aria said. "I'm worried."

Emily reached out to Aria's hand. "Me too." Emily said. "Just wait for a little while, okay." Aria nodded.

They are just sitting under the tree and waited for the others to come back. They are just sitting there in silence. They don't want to admit it to each other, because they don't want to make each other worried but they both had a bad feeling. Time passed by but there are no sign of them.

"How long has it been?" Aria breaks the silence.

Emily doesn't have to look at her watch to answer that. "More than two hours." She said.

"Let's just pulled the ropes. If they are still holding on the ropes, they will feel it." Aria said. And then both of them pulled each of the ropes until the end of it. There are so sign of their friends yet.

"Why they are let go of the ropes? Hanna said we couldn't." Emily raised her voice.

Aria sighed. "Can we officially worry now?" And then she remembered what happened earlier. "I told you that was Spencer's voice, not the wind." Emily nodded in agreement. "We should get help." Aria turned to Emily again. "What time is it?"

Emily took a glance at her watch. It's already after midnight. "Late. Time for people to sleep. Where can we get help at this hour?" Suddenly she thinks of someone. "Call Jason."

Aria rolled her eyes on her. "What?"

"I remember Ali told me once. Jason camped. He is the best chance we have right now." Emily said.

Aria scoffed. "I'm not calling him."

Emily stared at Aria. "Aria, this is more important than your little triumph with him. They could be in danger. Call him." Emily said.

Aria sighed. She doesn't want to call Jason. She is still mad at him. But she knows that Emily is right. Jason is the best chance they have at the moment. She took out her cell phone and dialed his number.

Jason picked up in her second tries in slurry voice. He is sleeping. "Aria?" Even thought she hasn't say anything, there is already a worried tone in his voice.

And hearing his voice makes her realized how worried she is about her friends. "Hanna, Caleb, Spencer and Toby are missing." Aria said. "We don't know what to do."

She can hear that Jason sat up. "Please tell me that you bring GPS."

"Yeah, we did. Hanna made us." Aria said.

"What's your coordinate?" Jason asked. Aria looked at her GPS and gives Jason their coordinate. "Do me a favor and stay where you are. Don't go anywhere 'till I come. I'll be right there."

"Okay." She said quietly.

"Aria, everything will be okay. I promise." Jason said, because he knows how worried she is.

Hearing that make her calms a little. "Just hurry." She said again. She can feel Jason smiles and nodded at her. She hangs out the phone and looked at Emily. "He's coming."


They are just kept sit there in silence for at least two hours when they hear a voice. "Aria!" Jason called her. Aria and Emily immediately sat up and tries to look in the darkness. They shine their flashlight on every direction.

"Jason?"

Aria let out a sigh of relief when she saw Jason running towards them. He immediately pulled Aria into his embrace. But only for a minute before he pulled away and looked at observes Aria's entire body. "Are you hurt?" Aria shakes her head in smile. He pulled her again into his embrace. "Thank God you're okay."

They didn't realize anything anymore that time, only each other. Until Emily coughs to hit them back into reality. That's when Jason notices Emily too. "How about you? Are you okay?"

Emily sighed in smiles. "We're good. Thanks for asking." She said, teased him.

Jason ignores her. "How long they've been missing?" Jason asked both of them.

"We should gather here about four hours ago. But none of them shows up." Emily explains.

"We heard Spencer's voice. She is screaming." Aria added.

Emily rolled her eyes on Aria. "We think – we heard Spencer's voice. We're not so sure." Emily revised what Aria said. Jason rolled his eyes on her. "The distance is too far. And this is the woods. It could be just wind shrinking." Emily said again.

Just after she said that, they heard a scream coming not too far from their place. "That is absolutely not the wind." Aria said, directly to Emily. "That is Hanna."

"You two stay here." Jason said to Emily and Aria.

"What? No way!" Aria protested.

"They could be in danger." Emily also protests.

Jason stared at the both of them. "That's why I'm going alone. I won't let any of you be in danger too." Jason said. Both Aria and Emily sighed. "Just stay here. You'll be safe here."

"But –" Aria is just about to protest more.

But Jason doesn't let her. "No, Aria. Please just listen to me for once. Just stay here."

Aria looked at Jason and sighed. "Fine."

Jason looked at Emily. She nodded too. "Bring them back."

Jason nodded and looked back to Aria. "Be careful." Jason squeezes her hand before he walked away. He walked toward the source of the voice. He can feel the wind is getting stronger. The air is getting chilly.


He walked until the end of the woods. "Hanna?" He almost didn't see the silhouette that lying on the ground because it is too dark. But he recognizes the shapes.

"Jason?" He heard Hanna's voice. "Help!"

Jason immediately ran toward her. When he is closer to her, he can see that she is lying on the floor in the edge of the cliff. Her hand is holding a rope for somebody who is hanging on the edge of the cliff. He looked down the cliff and see Caleb. "Caleb?"

"Hey man." Caleb forces a smile in his tired face. "You have no idea how happy I am to see you right now. I can barely hold on anymore." Caleb said.

Hanna let out a groan. She is a girl, so it is too heavy for her to carry Caleb's weight. Jason takes over the rope from Hanna. He is surprise when he felt the weight. "My arm is about to fell off." Hanna said as she tries to massage her right arm.

Jason looked at Hanna. "What happened?"

Hanna shook her head. "I have no idea. The ones that know what happened are in the bottom of the cliff. I just try to pull them all."

Jason looked back to Caleb. "Caleb, reach for my hand. Just let go of the rope and hold my hand."

Caleb shook his head. "I can't. You're just one person. You're not strong enough."

"What?" Jason looked at him, confused.

"It isn't just me. You can't see them because it is so dark down here. But I am carrying four persons down here." Caleb said.

Jason widened his eyes. He can guess that two of four are Toby and Spencer. But what about the other two? "What happened?" Caleb is just sighed. So he looked back to Hanna.

"You really want to care about that now?" Hanna said, sarcastically.

Jason knows that Hanna is right. The important thing right now is pulled them all. Caleb looked at Jason again. "There is nothing you could do right now. Just call for help."

"It's three o'clock in the morning. Where you are expecting me to find help?" Jason said.

"The rangers?" Caleb suggested.

"I just come from their office. There is nobody there." Jason said.

"Crap!" Caleb swore. "What do we do? I can't hold on till morning."

Jason shook his head out of frustration while he assessed the situation. One idea comes across his mind. "How deep is the cliff? Is anybody hurt?"

"I can't see the bottom of the cliff. It is really dark. We're trying to shine it with the flashlight, but nothing." Caleb said. "Spencer's hurt." He said again. "And I don't know how bad she is." Caleb said again before Jason can ask.

Jason sighed and looked back to Hanna. He took out his GPS from his pocket. "Hanna, Aria and Emily are in this coordinate. Go there and get the ropes. But don't let them come here."

Hanna looked at Jason. She can see that he is planning something. "What are you gonna do?"

"I'm going down."


"Aria! Emily!" Hanna goes to the coordinate that Jason gives.

"Is that Hanna?" Aria heard her voice.

Emily nodded. "Hanna!" Both Aria and Emily shouts back to her.

Hanna followed their voice back to the original tree that they are supposed to gather. When both of them see Hanna, they immediately run to her. "Hanna! What's going on?"

Aria looked at behind her. "Where are the others?"

"It's kind of long story and we're on the clock right now." Hanna walked past them to the tree. "Help me untie them. Jason needs it." Hanna said while she untie the ropes.

Emily and Aria immediately help Hanna to untie the ropes. "What the hell that happened? Why Jason needs it?" Emily said as she handed out the ropes.

"Nothing." Hanna said. "You two just stay here, okay. We're taking care of it."

Aria pulled Hanna to face her. "Hanna! What happened?"

Hanna sighed. There is no way that she could hide this from both of them. "Spencer and Toby fell down the cliff with two other persons. We have no idea who they are." Hanna said. "Caleb is trying to help but he isn't strong enough. How can anyone expect him to pulled up four persons?" She almost screams. She is having a panic attack.

Aria put her hands on Hanna's shoulders. "Hanna, calm down!" Aria said.

Hanna took a deep breath and looked at her best friends again. "I heard Spencer's scream." Aria rolled her eyes on Emily. "We get there as soon as we can. But when we get there, Toby is already hanging out on the edge of the cliff. He almost fell down. So Caleb immediately reaches for him. We didn't know that Toby was holding on three others persons. Caleb is supposed to pull them, but he is the one that getting pulled. I have to act fast. I reach the rope from my backpack and tie on the nearest tree. But I didn't tie it strong enough so I have to hold it my hand too." Hanna shows her hand with a red mark because of holding on a rope for too long. "Thank God Jason come."

Aria looked at Hanna. "What is he gonna do with the ropes?" Aria pointed the ropes that Hanna is holding. "You already had a rope."

Hanna sighed again. She hated sometime of how smart Aria is. "There is nothing he could do over the cliff. He is going down."

"What?" Aria widened her eyes. She can't believe that Jason would so something so stupid.

"We have no other choice. Caleb could barely hold on anymore. And Spencer is hurt." Hanna said. "We don't know how bad she is." Hanna said again when she sees her friends' expression. "Jason is the only chance we have."

Aria grabs one rope from Hanna. "Lead the way." Hanna doesn't even to try to prevent her from coming; she knows that there is nothing she can do to stop her.


Caleb already said that they already try to see the darkness in the cliff with a flashlight, but he still shine the cliff to look more. Unfortunately Caleb is right. "I can't see anything."

"I told you so." Caleb said.

And then Jason heard a sound coming from the bushes. "Hanna?" Jason shines her direction. "Do you bring the ropes?"

Hanna nodded. "And other things."

Jason looked at behind Hanna and saw Aria and Emily followed behind her. "Aria?" Jason looked at Hanna. "I told you not to let her come here."

"You think I can hold her?" Hanna said.

Jason sighed. Aria walked closer to him. "You can't go down."

Jason looked at Hanna and Emily. "Help me tie the ropes on the tree." Jason looked back to Aria. "This is the only way."

Aria shakes her head. "There must be another way beside of jumping down the cliff. It's too dangerous."

"I can't think any other way right now. Time is so precious at the moment. We have to act fast. We have no idea how bad Spencer is hurt." Jason said.

Aria sighed. She knows that he really is has to do this. There is no other way right now. But she is afraid for him. "I can't lose you."

Jason reaches for Aria's hand with his free hand. His one hand is still holding on the rope. "You won't. I'll come back to you. I always will. And I will bring them back." Jason said. Aria nodded.

"It's done." Hanna said.

"Are you sure it's strong enough?" Jason looked at Hanna.

Hanna rolled her eyes on him. She feels offended. "I'm a girl scout. I know how to tie a rope." Hanna said. Jason glances at the rope that he is holding. Hanna catches that. "I don't have enough time. That is the best I can do with such time."

Hanna and Emily walked to him. They take over Jason to holds the rope. Jason reaches for rope that just tie by Hanna. "Okay, then. I'm going."

"What can we do?" Emily asked him.

"Just make sure that Caleb is holding on." Jason said. Both Aria and Hanna nodded. He looked at Aria again. She stands beside him; make sure that the rope is strong enough. Jason pulled her into his embrace. "You know I love you."

Aria pulled away and shakes her head. "Don't say that. It's like you're saying goodbye."

Jason raised his hand and caressed Aria's cheek. "I just want you to remember that I love you so much. So I will never leave you. Don't worry." Aria nodded. Jason leaned in for a kiss. Aria can't even think their triumph for the past days and kissed him back. Jason smiled. He looked at the three of them and hikes down the cliff.

"He's gonna be okay." Emily said to Aria.

"I hope so." Aria whispered.


Jason carefully climbs down the cliff. He went camping before. A lot of time. But he is only hiking for a few times. He leaves the fact that he isn't so good at that because he doesn't want Aria more worried than she already is. He climbs down along the line of Caleb's about two foot down until he reaches Spencer.

"Jason?" Jason shines the flashlights onto Spencer. She was holding on to Toby's legs. Down there is very dark and the wind is a lot stronger, so they couldn't hear anything. "What are you doing here?"

"Aria called me." Jason observed Spencer carefully. "How are you doing?"

"I hit my head. It's not that big of deal. I'll survive." Spencer said.

Jason shifted closer to Spencer so he can examine her wound. He could see the wound in Spencer's forehead. "The bleeding had stopped. It's not that bad." Jason said to Spencer, who nodded at him.

"Just get us out of here." Spencer said again.

Jason nodded at her. "Hang in there." Jason moves away again and climbs down about two feet down until he reached the last person who hangs in the line. Jason reached Kristy and holds her while he climbs up. Aria and Emily help him too pulled Kristy up and then he climb down again to reach the next person.

"Hi. I'm Jason." He said to the guy, next in line, right below Spencer.

"Josh." He said. Jason widened his eyes. Joshua Thomas. Spencer really found him. But not in situation he expects her to be. But he sees the situation, it might be simple that it seems when he knows that it connected to this Josh.

Jason reached him and helps him climb up to the top. "This is Josh." Jason said to Aria and Emily on the top while rolling his eyes. Aria and Emily catch that and widened their eyes, but they pretend not to react with that.

"Don't you think I don't catch that." Josh said to all of them as soon as his feet touch the ground. "I don't know why you all looking for me. But that girl jumped down to catch me. She saves my life." Josh is looking at them all. "Can anybody tell me what's going on?"

"I promise you we will tell you everything. After we help out all of our friends, okay?" Aria said. Josh understands and nodded. Aria looked down to Jason. "Hurry up and get Spencer and Toby. Be careful."

Jason nodded and climbs back down to reach Spencer. "We found Josh." Jason said to her.

She sighed. "I don't know what to do. He is about to fall down the cliff. He is our only clue." Spencer said.

"But it doesn't mean you can just jump down without thinking about it." Jason said to her.

Spencer nodded. "I know it a little bit rushes. But he survives, isn't he?" Spencer said again. Jason scoffed. Spencer will never listen to anything he is saying.

"Just deal one thing at the time, okay? We can continue this, up, on the ground." Jason said. Spencer nodded in agreement. Suddenly they heard a creaking sound.

Spencer widened her eyes. She is scared. "That doesn't sound good." Spencer said to Jason.

Jason agrees with her. But he doesn't say anything. He doesn't want to make her worrier that she already is. He can see the scare expression on her face. He shifted his flashlight and shine up the hill. What he sees is scarier. The faster response that he can do at the moment is wrapped Spencer around his arms to protect her from the rocks that sliding down from the top. And the last thing he heard is Spencer's screaming in his ears before everything went black.
