Thanks for the reviews. Forgive the grammar errors. My phone keeps autocorrecting the words and I try to catch them all, but some escape me. Enjoy.

Chapter 4

This was getting weirder and weirder. The more we found out the more twisted and confusing things got. I had no idea what to believe. We had proof of the secret meetings Wren, Mike and Cece, well at least who we thought was Cece. There was no way Aria was going to let anything happen to her brother and it wasn't like we could ask her to.

"There has to be something we can do to get Mike out of this" I was still pacing and Gabe was just sitting at the table looking at me like I was crazy. He hadn't said anything since he had told me about what Ali had been planning with Cece "There is no we can let Wren and Cece, or red coat get away with pinning all this stuff on Mike"

"From everything we've talked about and everything you have learned, you are only worried about what can happen to Mike?" he sounded surprised.

"Of course I'm worried about Mike" I threw my hands up in the air "He is Aria's baby brother and she has lost too much already thanks to A"

"You do realize that A could pin all of this on you?" I wanted to roll my eyes, of course I knew that. It wasn't like A hadn't done that before "Aren't you worried that Ali was conspiring against you?"

"No, Ali is in jail. She can't do anything to us now" I stopped pacing for a moment and just looked at Gabe "Right now Ali needs us. We are the ones that destroyed all the evidence that could save her and we are the ones that can find proof to get her out"

"What makes you so sure that you guys can prove her innocence?"

"Because we've done it before" it was weird to talk to him about all this. Part of my mind kept thinking that he was still a police officer and could get me in a lot of trouble "Believe me, this isn't the first time A has framed one of us for something we didn't do. We have always found a way out of it. This time is not going to be any different"

He just kept looking at me like he had never seen me before and it was making me feel self-conscious. I had to admit that I liked the way he looked at me sometimes, like he could eat me up. It also made me feel nervous.

"You are always surprising me" I raised an eyebrow. I had no idea what he was talking about. He just smiled at me "I can't believe that you can be so selfless, is hard to find people like that. When I first met you I have to admit I thought you would be completely different"

"What do you mean?"

"I thought you cared more about how you looked and what kind of clothes you wore than about your friends" he shook his head, like the idea was stupid and it made me feel better that he didn't see me as shallow anymore "kind of like Alison"

"Alison was always making us feel inferior, you would never notice because she would make it seem like she was trying to help you, that it was for your own good" thinking about it now I could see that even if A was a bitch she had been honest in one thing. Alison had treated us like her personal dolls and she had never seen us as real, we had been her special project "For her we were just her property, something she owned and made her special. Her own set of followers. After she "died" and things started to change, I promised myself that I would never treat someone else like she had treated us"

"Alison has lied to a lot of people" he stood up and stood moved close to me "is going to be hard to find someone that will be able to believe her. If she goes to court they may sentence her to life in prison"

"But she is not guilty" I touched his arm and resisted the urge to shiver when an electric shock ran from where my hand was touching him all the way up to my shoulder "You said that you wanted to prove to me that you weren't trying to help Alison, or A, or whoever and I have to admit you did gave us some information"

"I don't think I'm going to like what you are going to say next" he said with a weary look.

"I need you to help me" I knew that by doing this I could get in trouble with Aria, Emily and Spencer. They didn't trust him and to be completely truthful I didn't trust him completely yet. He had lied to me and that wasn't something I could just get over it, but I also knew that he was the only one that would be able to help me "We need to find out what is really going on between Mike, Wren and Cece. The only way we can do that is if we work together"

"Really?" I narrowed my eyes at his sarcastic tone "and what do you think your friends will say when they find out we are working together?"

"They don't have to know" I was actually counting on the fact they wouldn't find out "they can't know about this. I don't want them involved in this, just in case it blows in my face"

"What do you think I can help you with?" he crossed his arms over his chest and I moved mine away. I had forgotten that I was still touching him "If you haven't noticed I was fired from the force, there is nothing much I can do"

"Don't give me that crap. The pictures you showed me let me know that even if you are not in the force anymore you are still investigating what happened to Mona" I took one of the pictures on the table and looked at him "Please, I know you can help me find out what really happened. Mona was my friend and I need to know what happened to her"

He just looked at me for like seem like hours. I was scared that he would say no and that he was working for A. I hadn't told him, but one of the reasons I wanted him to help me was because I needed to find out if he was working with A. I was still trying to find a way to convince him when he finally let out a sigh.

"Fine, I will help you find out about A" he moved toward the kitchen door and opened it. He looked back at me "Don't do anything until I get in contact with you. I mean that Hanna, it could be dangerous if you go out by yourself"

"I won't do anything without letting you know" he looked at me for a while longer "I promise"

The way he was looking at me made me feel very warm and tingly. His eyes were very warm and it kind of made me forget that he had betrayed my trust. Before I could make a mistake and a fool out of myself he walked out and closed the door behind him. I was in so much trouble.
