Tanner looked at Spencer and Caleb. She was shocked to hear a teenager come in and admit to killing somebody. Caleb was stunned at the fact that Spencer admitted it when he knows she didn't do it. Spencer, on the other hand, she knows exactly what she's doing. Tanner set down the file that she was holding and stepped out from behind her desk.
"You just admitted to killing somebody," Tanner said.
Spencer nodded, "Yeah, I know."
"Jonny's been dead for almost two weeks now. Why are you just now saying something?"
"For the past week I've been arguing with myself to tell the truth or not and when I saw on the news that someone else was being accused of something I did I just had to say something."
"I see," Tanner nodded then pointed at Caleb. "What is he doing here?"
"Caleb's been helping me make the right decision. He wanted to be here to make sure I didn't chicken out."
"Would you wait right here please, I'm going to get another officer down here."
Spencer nodded and watched Tanner walk away. Once she was out of sight, Spencer sighed and turned around to face Caleb. Caleb looked outraged by the whole thing.
"Spencer," Caleb started. "Are you crazy? Why did you do that?"
"If someone's going to be blamed for Jonny's murder, it is not going to be Toby. I'm not letting Toby go down for this. If the cops think I killed Jonny then maybe this will give you guys more time to prove that Toby didn't."
"What if they rule you guilty?" He asked.
"They won't, cause once they do some tests on that gun they'll realize that the bullets in that gun don't match the bullets they found in Jonny."
"Once they're done with you, they'll start suspecting Toby again. How do you even know that Tanner believes you? Everyone in town knows that you and Toby are together. They'll just think you're taking the blame for him."
"If they doubt me, I already have a cover story that will convince them otherwise. While the cops are looking at me this will give you guys more time to find out who really killed Jonny."
Caleb shook his head, "You know Toby's not going to let you do this."
"Well, I'm not letting him get arrested for a murder he didn't commit. This is the only plan I got. Are you going to help or not?"
Caleb sighed and said, "Fine, what do you want me to do?"
"Start looking for answers."
Tanner came back with two other officers. One of the officers put Spencer in handcuffs and led her down the hall. The other officer came over and put the gun in a bag. They will definitely be doing some test on that. Caleb stood back and watched the cops take Spencer. He's worried that this plan won't work and they might actually find something to use against Spencer.
"You can go now, Rivers," Tanner said.
Caleb turned down the hall and raced towards the door. Once he was out of the police station, he took out his phone and called Toby. He explained to him what Spencer just did. Of course, Toby was shocked, angry, worried, and upset.
"She did what!?" Toby yelled through the phone.
Toby scrambled around his loft trying to locate his shoes. No, forget shoes. He just needs his car keys. Where the hell did he put his car keys? He has to get down to that station and get Spencer out of jail. Why did she have to do something so stupid? Spencer is one of the smartest people he knows, but she doesn't always think things through. Toby loves her with all his heart, but she's so stupid.
"Spencer asked me to meet her at the police station so I did. I didn't know what she was up to until we got here. I guess I should have seen this coming, but I didn't. We came into the police station and she just blurts out that she killed Jonny. She pulled out a gun to show Tanner."
Toby cupped his fist in his hair, "Why would she do that?"
"Because she loves you, Man. We were stupid to think that Spencer wouldn't do something like this for you. In her mind, she thinks it would be better if the cops suspected her of killing Jonny instead of you. She also said that this will give us more time to find the real killer."
"This is all wrong," Toby groaned. "What if they find something to use against her?"
"That's what I was worried about, but she wouldn't listen to me."
"Ugh, why didn't you stop her!?"
"Did you not just hear me? She wouldn't listen to me and when has anyone ever been able to stop Spencer?"
"I'm sorry," Toby sighed. "I'm just freaking out about this. I can't believe she took the blame for me."
"There's nothing to take the blame for. Neither one of you did it. Anyway, Spencer loves you. She would do anything for you."
"Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of."
"I'm on my way over to your place right now, so don't move. I'll call Aria and Emily, and we'll figure this out together."
Toby nodded and said, "Okay."
As soon as Caleb got off the phone with Toby, he called the girls then raced over to Toby's loft. When Aria and Emily heard about what Spencer did, they wanted to go down to the police station to break her out. Now, the four of them are sitting around Toby's loft trying to come up with a solution. Actually the three of them are sitting, Toby keeps pacing around his living room trying to calm himself down.
"This is crazy," Toby said. "I-I can't just keep standing here, I have to go down to the station and get them to let Spencer go."
Toby walked towards the door, but Caleb stopped him.
"You can't do that. If you go down there; then the police will arrest you and that's exactly what Spencer is trying to avoid."
"Spencer shouldn't be arrested for this either!" Toby exclaimed. "God, why are cops in this town so stupid!?"
"Caleb's right," Emily said. "Having you and Spencer both arrested for Jonny's murder won't do any good."
"Spencer is sacrificing her freedom for you," Aria said with a smile. "That's kind of romantic."
"Spencer didn't join the army to fight in some war overseas, she took the blame for Jonny's murder!" Toby yelled. "That's not romantic, Aria, that's tragic."
Emily stood up, "then we need to stop sitting here like a bunch of lazy people and get out there and start looking for answers like Spencer wants us to!"
"I don't know where to look!" Toby exclaimed.
"Think like Spencer! Where would she start?"
Toby thought about it for a few minutes. That is a good question. What would Spencer do first? Well, she would take the blame for murder, that's what she would do first. Toby knows he has to take this thing seriously. If he wants to get Spencer out of jail, he won't be able to do that if he's behind bars as well. So, he has to think, where would Spencer start? Suddenly, it came to him.
Toby snapped his fingers and said, "Spencer would go back to the scene to look for clues."
"Okay," Emily said. "And where did this murder occur?"
"At this old Warehouse just down the street and around the corner."
Aria stood up and said, "alright then; let's go."
The four of them left Toby's loft and headed to the warehouse determined to find some answers to free Spencer. On top of that, they still need to find answers in order to free Alison and Hanna. They've got a lot on their plate right now and it's not going to be easy.
While they were doing that, Spencer was sitting in an interrogation room being questioned by the police. She's answered question after question and is now exhausted. The police keep hammering her with questions and Spencer keeps coming up with fake answers. She doesn't know if the cops are buying what she's saying, but it's all she has.
"Jonny's body was found in the early hours of the morning. When police found the body they discovered that the body had been dead for five hours. What time did you leave the warehouse?"
"I left a little after 3 in the morning. After I shot him, I ran away."
"Why did you shot him?"
"For one he killed my sister. I thought him being dead would make me feel better, but it doesn't. Another reason, I found out that before my sisters death he was blackmailing Melissa. He went after her for money and Jonny said that if Melissa didn't follow his demands, he would go after her then me. I was scared he would come after me next, so I tracked him down at the warehouse. He was coming after me, so I shot him in the leg. I shot him again in the head."
"What was Jonny blackmailing Melissa for?"
"He was blackmailing her for money."
After answering many more questions, Spencer was escorted to prison facility for woman. When she showed up to the prison, the other inmates kept eyeing her and saying she's fresh meat.
Hanna was sitting in her cell just staring up at the ceiling when she heard the other inmates yelling at a newbie coming in. Just a few weeks ago that was her being screamed at by the inmates. Hanna decided to stand up and take a look at who they're bringing in. She was shocked to see the cops escorting Spencer through the halls. What is she doing here? Spencer made brief eye contact with Hanna before being pushed on her way down the hall. Hanna swallowed hard and sat back down in her chair. This can't be good. How much longer until the rest of her friends are in jail?
Okay, that was a short chapter. Sorry about that. I was sick when I wrote it, so I didn't feel like making a big chapter, but I also didn't want to leave you guys hanging. Hope you liked it either way. Btw, make sure to vote for which story you want me to update over spring break. You only have a few more days left to vote, so if you haven't, go do it! Also, don't forget to review this chapter if you want an update by Tuesday.
On a side note: Who the hell is Charles? I guess we'll have to wait for season 6 to find out. I don't know about you guys, but I loved the finale. It was creepy and intense, and I loved every minute of it! Probably my favorite finale since 3x24 "A Dangerous Game." Leave your thoughts about the finale in the reviews.
