Emily, Alison, Hanna and Katie were discussing plans when they heard the door open. Estella had been put down for a nap and was sleeping on the couch clutching her blanket and stuffed animal tightly while sucking her thumb.

"How much CIA stuff do you need?" Aria asked stuggling to carrying the box she was holding. She was carrying a box full of CIA gadgets and she had no idea how they worked let alone what they did.

"Enough to find a stalker." Spencer replied dryly.

"And all of this stuff is necessary." Ashton said.

"Would you guys shush?" Emily asked though her comment was directed more towards Ashton who had spoken louder than the other two, "Estella is sleeping." Emily looked over towards her daughter to prove her point.

"Oh, sorry Emmy." Ashton said in a hushed whisper. The others in the room quietly giggled because they knew how much Emily disliked the name 'Emmy.' Emily was glaring at Ashton who just smirked back. He walked into the room with Aria and Spencer trailing behind him. He set the box he was holding onto the coffee table trying not to be so loud as to wake his niece. Aria and Spencer did the same but set their boxes down on the floor since there wasn't any room left on the coffee table. Ashton peered over to look at what the four girls — who had stayed inside — had worked on. It wasn't much but it was a start. The paper that was on the table had a list of names — who Ashton assumed were the suspects. He noticed one of the names. He stared at it longer than he did for the other names. Emily noticed his stare and spoke up.

"What are you staring at?" Emily asked. Emily's question broke him out of his thoughts.

"That name there," Ashton started pointing as the 6th name on the list, "why do you have that name on the suspect list?"

"Um...because they have always acted suspiciously and lately they have more so." Emily replied.

"That's not much for them to be a suspect." Ashton pointed out.

"Well, we four," Emily gestured at the four girls crowded around the table, "think so. Why are acting so weird?"

"This might sound strange, but I've heard that name before. In fact, I'm pretty sure I've met them." Ashton responded. The others just looked at him confused.

"Is anyone else confused?" Hanna asked.

"I am." Alison, Aria and Spencer said in unison.

"This person," Ashton said pointing at the 6th name on the list, "I've met before."

"You've met Jenna Marshall?" Hanna asked, "What did you do to deserve such a punishment?" She joked.

"Haha," Ashton playfully laughed, "I met her when I offered Toby's father the job here in Rosewood. She was pretty young but she didn't have a...um...suspicious look to her. She just looked like a normal teenage girl.

"Yeah, she's anything but that." Spencer muttered.

"Why are you guys so against her?" Ashton questioned.

"She's just been at the wrong place at the wrong time and we ended up in trouble." Aria explained.

"Please don't make us tell you the story." Emily pleaded. Ashton took sympathy for them and nodded his heading agreeing that he wouldn't make them tell him the story that had made them doubtful and suspicious of Jenna.

"Anyways, can you read over the list of names you have already?" Ashton asked.

Emily nodded her head and picked up the list, "1. Mona Vanderwaal. 2. Paige McCullers. 3. Jenna Marshall. 4. Sara Harvey. 5. Sydney Driscoll. 6. Ben Coogan." Emily listed off.

"Paige McCullers is on the list? Why?" Ashton quired. Emily glanced at him and then looked away. When they had made the list of suspects and she had listed Paige McCullers, she didn't tell the reason behind her saying the name other than 'she's sketchy.' She didn't want to reveal the real reason behind her suspicion.

"Emily?" Ashton asked breaking Emily out the millions of thoughts and theories that were running in her head.

"Yeah?" Emily answered.

"Why is Paige McCullers on the list?" Ashton repeated.

"Oh...um...well she's kinda sketchy and I don't trust her." Emily claimed.

"Again, that's not much to go by." Ashton responded, "Is there anything else about her?" Ashton inquired. Emily sighed knowing her brother wasn't going to let go of this so easily.

"She also...uh...harasses me." Emily answered in a low whisper.

"SHE WHAT?!" Ashton said loudly making everyone jump from how loud his voice became. Emily's first instinct was to look at the couch to see if her daughter was still asleep. Thankfully she was, thought Emily had no idea how with how loud Ashton's voice had been. She turned back around shrinking slightly from her brother's glare. She knew he wasn't angry at her but at what she had told him.

"Why does she harass you?" Ashton seethed.

"Uh...sh–she harasses me because she thinks I'm gay and I'm only on the swim team to look at girls." Emily revealed looking slightly perturbed. Alison, noticing her girlfriends distress, scooted closer to her and put her arm around Emily's waist bringing her closer to her body, "She also says things that are kinda questionable. Like she knows what I'm hiding. Like she knows why I've been acting kinda offish." Emily confessed.

"Then she should be #1 on the suspect list." Ashton affirmed. The others nodded and corrected the list. Now Paige McCullers was #1 and Mona Vanderwaal was #2 on the suspect list.

"Did you only make a suspect list or did you also start coming up with plan?" Spencer asked curiously.

"We only got to the suspect list." Alison said. Spencer nodded her head.

"Since we're all here, we can start coming up with a plan." Aria said sitting down, Spencer and Ashton quickly following her lead.

"So what should the plan be?" Hanna asked, "I don't know about you but I seriously hope we don't have to come up with multiple plans. There are only so many letters in the alphabet." She joked.

"This plan will work." Ashton said, "It has too."

"But how will we find Tayden?" Emily asked. Ashton looked at his sister.

"We'll find him." Ashton assured her, "I have an inkling that he isn't far from here. Meaning like he's still in the state of Pennsylvania which makes the search that much easier, eliminating 49 other states and Canada." Emily nodded her head seemingly more relaxed than she was before.

"We have to find him." Hanna stated, "I, for one, want to meet my nephew. Emily," Hanna turned to her brunette best friend, "I am going to spoil your kids rotten." Hanna declared grinning.

"Great," Emily replied sarcastically, "It's not like Estella doesn't already get spoiled by my brother and his girlfriend and don't forget Ashley, her nanny."

"Doesn't matter," Hanna remarked back, "I'm totally going to be their favorite Auntie." Hanna said swishing her hair behind her back.

"You keep on telling yourself that, Han." Spencer laughed.

"Oh, I will." Hanna retorted back.

"Back to the plan." Alison said.

"Right. So we have to set up some sort of trap or something..." Ashton started picking up a pen that was laying on the table from when the girls made the suspect list and a piece of blank white paper that was also on the table.

So, I decided to post a chapter on my birthday, well, the day acting as a substitute for my birthday. I'm 17! (Jeez I'm getting old!) Technically I'm born the day after the 28th so my birthday should be celebrated on March 1st but no way am I celebrating my birthday on Justin Bieber's birthday (No offense to JB fans!) Plus my cousin is my birthday twin this year so all the more reason to celebrate it on the 28th! I'll be turning 5 on my next REAL birthday. I also be in my Sophomore year of college then. Wow. Lol! I hope you all are still finding this story interesting. I don't know when the next update will be mainly because I am in my 2nd semester of school and I'm on the search for colleges now. Recently I was in California (just last week for Winter Break) and I toured Chapman University. Small school of around 8,000 - 9,000 students or so but very nice. Anyways, comment, share, and vote! Thanks! - Leapyearbaby29
