Spencer POV

"When will Han ever get here?" Aria complained as she picked at the flowered design on her fingernails. They were sitting in a booth next to a window at the Grill.

"Hey," Spencer snapped back. "Do I look psychic?"

Aria just gave her a look that showed just how out of line Spencer's remark was.

"I'm sorry." Spencer apologized, locking her hands together behind her head. "I'm just stressed, and Em was the only one who could-" she broke off, unsure of what to say.

Aria raised her head and Spencer could see a couple unshed tears in her eyes. "I know Spence. We all miss her."

"Hey!" Hanna breezed in wearing a loose lavender blouse and black skinny jeans. She had a welcoming smile on her face, but it faded when she saw Aria almost crying. "Oh."

"Yeah." Spencer nodded her head. "How's your house?"

"Well its still standing, but it feels like I'm not going to be soon." Hanna revealed, sighing heavily. "I've been sleeping on the couch in the living room because all her stuff is still lying on her bed in my room. I don't want to move it."

They sat in silence for a while, until a waitress interrupted the pity party, asking them what they wanted to order.

Once Hanna had ordered her house salad, Aria had ordered her pasta with pesto, and Spencer had ordered her fettucini with alfredo, they sat back and waited for the food. There was an uncomfortable silence for a while until Aria broke the silence.

"So Han, how's Caleb?" Aria asked.

"Romantic as usual!" Hanna said, a dreamy look passed over her face and she laughed. Aria looked confused.

"Hanna shagged her boyfriend again." Spencer informed her. Hanna looked shocked at Spencer's word, causing the brunette to chuckle. "What? Would you rather that I use a word you don't understand?"

"No please!" Hanna replied quickly, her green eyes wide. Aria giggled at Hanna's predicament.

"So you did!" Spencer cried, pointing a finger. "Where?"

Hanna's cheeks turned red. "I don't have to tell you."

"Oh but yes, you do! Was in your home? Or on a picnic? Or in your car- Eww!"

Hanna stopped looking at Spencer and zeroed in on Aria. She had blushed when sex in a car was mentioned. "Aria?"

"Y-Yeah, Han?"

"How's Fitzy in the car?"

Aria paled. "What?"

Hanna snorted. "Okay, I may play dumb, but I'm definitely not blind! You blushed at the car part!"

"I thought you said you hadn't seen him since the incident with your parents?" Spencer asked, confused.

"I, um, lied." Aria shifted around in her seat uncomfortably, blushing again.

"You guys had sex? In Rosewood?" Spencer exclaimed, staring at Aria. "Are you insane?"

"No and no!" The short brunette defended. "We went to Philly. It was i-in his car."

"Aria shagged her teacher!" Hanna sing-songed.

"Hanna!"

"Fine." Hanna grumbled. "Aria shagged her ex-teacher?"

"No, just no."

"Wait." Spencer said, the wheels in her mind turning. "When did this happen?"

Aria blushed again. "Three nights ago. Why?"

"We all did the deed in a row!" Hanna laughed, clapping her hands.

Aria started laughing too when she got what Hanna was referring to. "Wow, Spence! The hospital built up quite an appetite, huh?"

"But I didn't-" Spencer tried again. "I never said-"

"Yeah, but your face did!" Hanna cracked up again.

The brunette felt her cheeks warm up. "Grrr, you are infuriating." She threw a napkin at Hanna's head, who just dodged it.

"Someone's totally blushing!" Aria giggled. "Oooh!"

Spencer glared at her friends. "Both of you. Shut up now."

"Oh, the wrath of the mighty Spencer!" Hanna teased, making wiggly motions with her hands. "Beware!"

"'Scuse me, miss?" A elderly gentlemen with a mop of white hair asked from behind Hanna. "I believe this is yours?" He held up the napkin that Spencer had thrown.

"Oh, I'm so, so sorry sir!" Spencer gasped, flustered. "Where did you find it?"

"Well you wouldn't believe it," the man started, "but on my ole' head! I could've sworn that I didn't wear it when I went out this mornin', and I saw you aint got a napkin, so... Why are y'all laughin?"

Well, they couldn't keep a straight face after that.

After leaving the restaurant and thanking the poor (confused) man, they were in the parking lot, getting ready to leave. All three of them were halfway into their cars when it happened.

Suddenly, Spencer's HTC phone chimed with an incoming call. When she stared down at it, she saw the area code for a Pennsylvania pay phone.

But nothing else.

"Hello?" Spencer asked, holding the phone to her ear. Aria and Hanna looked at her questioningly.

"Spencer?" Emily's voice said brokenly from the phone.

Spencer nearly dropped the phone in shock, then tightened her grip on the device with both hands. "Emily?" She gasped. "Is that you?"

Instantly when hearing their friend's response, the other girls rushed over to Spencer's side of the car. Spencer lowered the phone slowly and put it on speakerphone for them.

"Y-Yes, it is." Emily sobbed desperately. "She wanted me to call you."

"Who, Emily?" Aria asked, grabbing the phone from its owner's hand, but the others shared a look. Aria still didn't know about the text they had found on Emily's metallic pink phone.

Emily took a shuddering breath on the other line. "Ali. I trusted her, then she led me to this room and-" Emily shrieked, and the connection turned to static for a couple of seconds.

"Em!" Hanna called into the speaker. "Are you okay?"

"She said to cut it short. She wants- she wants you to run away."

"What?" Spencer asked.

"To get out of Rosewood. Just do it. Please, I think I'm in someone's basement, there's no light! He-" Emily's plea for help was cut off sharply, and another voice took over the line.

"Run." Alison said with a chilly voice. "Run like the guilty little bitches you are. Or she pays the consequences."

There were muffled shrieks from the background before the line went dead in Aria's shaking hands.

"Guys?" Hanna alerted them in a quavering voice, and pointed a finger behind them.

Wren was standing in the middle of the parking lot, watching them. Spencer couldn't tell for sure at this distance, but his expression and his smile looked like he was gloating. As if he won a game.

He didn't say anything to them at all, just stuck both hands into his faded jean pockets and left without looking back.

Or so three terrified girls thought.
