A/N: These chapters for last episode aren't really my finest work, but the episode didn't give me much to work with! I'm hoping this weeks episode will be different and that it will bring an end to Spaleb because for the LOVE OF GOD IT NEEDS TO END. Seriously. The longer it goes on the more irritated I get.

Aria had left after hanging out for a while, chatting to Hanna about her business plan and other safe topics. Topics that had nothing to do with any of the number of terrible things going on in their lives right then. Hanna perked up when she was talking to Aria, she got excited talking about her business plan. It was the most like her old self he'd seen in a while and Aria had been nothing but encouraging. She'd eventually had to head out though. Caleb had originally planned on just putting Aria on speaker, but Aria had insisted on coming over. Caleb suspected she wanted to check on Hanna and see how she was doing, and this was the perfect excuse so Hanna wouldn't think she was being smothered or babied. Treated like she was made of glass. He couldn't begrudge her wanting to make the trip, she'd been such an amazing friend to Hanna since she'd been returned to them all. Hanna needed that right now. Besides he and Mona, Hanna seemed the most comfortable around Aria, he figured she still felt guilty even though Spencer was perfectly fine with her. Spencer had even called her and asked her to get in to the Radley's booking system to see if Jenna had extended her stay because apparently she was still here. It hadn't been much, Spencer could have called he or Mona either of them could have done it, but she'd called Hanna and Hanna had clearly felt like Sherlock Holmes the entire time, and when she relayed her discover to Spencer that Jenna had indeed extended her stay. He was grateful to Spencer for giving her that. In Emily's case? Caleb thought that it was another case of guilt. Hanna knows how much Emily cares about Alison and while Emily had eventually stepped up to the plate, she'd mostly been focused on Alison. That resentment she'd been presented with was probably hard to shake off too.

It hadn't been long after Aria had left that Mona had the breakthrough.

"I got it…I got the address. 23 Wexbridge Street…apartment 109" Mona said excitedly.

"As if there was any doubt that you would" Hanna joked. She actually joked, eliciting a smile from Mona.

"So…who's gonna check it out?" Mona asked.

"Don't you want to? I'd have figured you'd be itching to poke around his apartment." Caleb asked her. Mona shook her head.

"No. There's a lot still to do..to try to recover or uncover. I'm gonna be glued to this for the foreseeable future" Mona gestured at her laptop. Caleb turned to Hanna. He really didn't think it was a good idea for her to go poking around Rollins burner apartment. Poking through his belongings. He hated to think what the guy had stashed there. But if she really wanted to go…he wasn't going to stop her. Not if she needed to do it for closure or…whatever other reason.

"Han?" he asked her.

"Actually…..I think…I think I'll sit this one out. I don't….it's easier if I don't think of him as a person…just….I know it makes no sense but…right now he's not a person to me he's…he's…a shadowy figure with a name. Because that's all I saw, and the image of him from the Barn is the one that I see clearly. I just…if I go to his apartment and see….see all his stuff…he'll become a real person to me" Hanna tried to explain her logic. "Besides. Lucas needs my business plan super fast right? So….I'd actually prefer to stay here. With you guys." Hanna finished. Caleb wasn't sure if this had anything to do with last night or not, but seeing as she wanted to stay away from something that could hurt her even more, he wasn't going to argue about it. He nodded.

"Sure Han, I'll call Aria….one of the girls'll go" Caleb said, exiting the room to make the call. Aria had sounded excited at the prospect of investigating Rollins. Each to their own. Sure Caleb wanted to know who the guy was, what his connection to Jenna was, and more…but he wasn't gonna get jazzed about going all CSI: Rosewood on his apartment. She must really be desperate for something to do. Or maybe she's just being a good friend and is excited to find out something to help Hanna. When Caleb re-entered the room, it was to the sight of Hanna sitting next to Mona at the table, both engrossed in their own projects, Hanna looking the most…together she'd been in a while. It was like last night was a million miles away. Last night was a set back…one that's going to haunt me for a while but….she's finally getting back to her old self. Getting back on track. Caleb smiled. Sitting down at the table with his own computer.

"C'mon Mona, give me something to do, and don't tell me you don't need the help cos we both know you do. You can keep the hard stuff" Caleb smirked. Mona just rolled her eyes and handed him the burner phone filled with all the recovered messages so far.

"You know what to do" she said before returning to her work. That I do. He wished he didn't but at least this way…he could help Hanna. It might not solve all of her issues, it might not help her heal. But it would still help her, and Caleb would do whatever he could to do that.

The day had gone so well, Caleb should have expected for something to go wrong. Hanna had seemed to be getting back to her usual self, last night had shaken her and rather than trying to keep Caleb away, she was instead trying to keep him close, she didn't like it when he was out of her eye line. It was his fault and he still felt awful….would feel awful for a long time, but at the same time…Hanna wanted him nearby. Didn't want him to leave. Didn't want him out of her sight. It was hard not to enjoy that. They'd worked all afternoon in companionable silence until they'd gotten the call. They needed to head to Spencer's barn, Aria and Emily had checked out the apartment and Alison had news too. Caleb knew it couldn't be good. Knew it deep down. When Hanna had gone to the bathroom, he'd had a whispered conversation with Mona about whether to tell her. Whether Mona should go alone. The both of them knew something was up. It had to be for them to want to meet this late. It screamed emergency. Hanna had had a really good day and neither of them wanted to spoil that but if it was to do with Rollins, and it most likely was….was it really right to keep Hanna in the dark? She'd find out eventually and she wouldn't thank them for keeping it from her. In the end they'd told her, and while she'd been wary…the trio had soon headed out to meet the others at Spencer's barn. Which is where they where now, listening to the litany of 'not goods' coming out of Alison's mouth while Hanna paced backwards and forwards, lost in her thoughts, to the side of him. He had tried to stop her, but she'd only started to pick at the skin around her nails instead and he figured pacing would hurt less.

"I'm completely broke. He took everything" Alison said with despair.

"It just keeps getting worse"

"Thank you captain obvious" Caleb sniped before he could stop himself, quickly holding up his hands in supplication before an argument could break out. "Sorry" Emily nodded in acceptance. Mona looked like she'd agreed with Caleb, shockingly. Mona had had an issue with Emily and Spencer since Hanna had been returned. Emily in particular, the debate about actually saving Hanna…the resentment. Mona was not a forgiving person when it came to her friend and the trauma she'd suffered. He figured her problem with Spencer was just the usual.

"Guys…we deliberately pointed the cops towards Philly. That's where this trail was supposed to end, so….this means…" Caleb really didn't want anyone to finish that sentence, but a quiet and shaky voice filled in what Spencer left unsaid.

"Somebody knows." Caleb turned to Hanna to see her staring at a spot on the floor. A spot he was fairly certain had had a load of mud on it from their forest…..excursion. Her breathing was picking up and she looked nauseous.

"Hanna you're not alone in this" Aria tried to comfort but Hanna didn't seem to hear her. She forced out a shaky breath.

"I'm gonna be sick" she choked out before turning and rushing towards the bathroom. Caleb went to get up but Spencer was already on her feet, she sent him a look and he sat back down. If she wanted to be there for her friend, he wasn't gonna stop her.

"God, when she panics like that I can't even think" Alison griped. Caleb didn't hit girls, but he was strongly tempted to break that moral code. How dare she? After everything she's been through because of Alison and her crazy family. She killed Rollins to protect her. He got the other girl was probably stressed and traumatised too but…Hanna had suffered so much. She was entitled to freak out at the thought of someone holding this over her. Caleb caught Mona's expression, and Mona definitely had her claws out.

"You know. If it wasn't for you and your plea to get everyone back here to get Charlotte out of her hole. None of this would have happened. She came back to help you. She was kidnapped to help all of you. She was traumatised….again…by a family member of yours….again." Mona held up a hand. "I don't care what argument you have, he was still your husband. She killed him….to save you. To protect you. So you don't get to be all….bitchy about how she reacts to finding out someone may know what she did. She is allowed to freak out. She is the one with the most to lose. She is the one who'll be targeted the most. If it where you…everyone would be falling all over themselves to comfort you. But instead of supporting your friend, you're just sniping. Honestly…what kind of friend are you" Mona sneered. Before Alison could reply, or Emily for that matter. Spencer appeared in the doorway.

"Caleb" her tone had him on his feet and on his way to Hanna without a backward glance, except for a disparaging look for Alison as he passed her.

When he reached the bathroom he saw Hanna huddled next to the toilet with her arms wrapped around herself, staring in to space. Tears tracking down her cheeks.

"Hanna?" he said quietly, as he came towards her.

"Caleb" she looked up at him. "Someone knows…someone knows what I did…and….and….I deserve to be punished I know I do but….after the Dollhouse and..the-the-the barn I can't….I can't be locked up again. I can't. It would….I don't know what it'd do to me but it…it would…." Hanna dissolved in to sobs. Caleb sat down and pulled her to him, hugging her tightly.

"You're not going to be locked up again Hanna, I won't let it happen. I promise" Caleb said seriously.

"You…..you can't promise that. If….if it's A…or AD….or A whatever….then…they'll get me. They'll always do. Every single time. They'll….they'll use it against me and then…then…then….I'll be trapped and I won't be able to g-g-g-get out" Hanna cried in to his chest. Caleb stroked her back and looked up at Spencer who was standing in the doorway, and had been joined by Mona a grim look on their faces. Their eyes met and Caleb knew Spencer wouldn't allow Hanna to be locked up anymore than he or Mona would. Caleb sat there comforting Hanna as best as he could, Spencer and Mona never budged an inch, offering what support they could. He could see the wheels behind Mona's eyes turning as she thought everything over, he knew she was plotting already. Perhaps they'd be able to work together without arguing for once. He and Mona had done it once, but Mona and Spencer where a different story. But he could see the determination in both girls eyes. There was no way any of them where letting Hanna go down for this. Not for that…that…..piece of work. Caleb hugged Hanna to him tightly. There's no way I'm letting you go.
