Chapter 5:
Toby's POV:
It's been 2 weeks since Spencer's accident. She goes to therapy every week and her sling is coming off in 1 week. I'm in the office, still working on the case involving Spencer. We have narrowed it down to 4 people.
Tanner: Toby, how's Spencer?
Toby: She's doing really good. We just need to get this person and put them away.
Tanner: Who are the suspect and who is prime?
Toby: Suspect 1 is Greg Hanson, has a white Ford Fiesta, which was the car that hit Spencer. Suspect 2 is Fiona Anderson, also owns a white Ford Fiesta, Fiona is friends with Aria. They are co-workers. Suspect 3 is Zack Campbell, and prime suspect is Mona Dilaurentis.
Tanner: Wait, did you say, Mona Dilaurentis?
Toby: Yes, her and Jason got married. We think she has a motive to. I mean she ran over Hanna Rivers, even though that was like over 10 years ago, and she got barred from Spencer and Hanna's bridal shop. So does any of that say that she wouldn't have a motive.
Tanner: Have we got them in custody?
Toby: We had to let Zack and Greg go as there was a lack of evidence. I don't see how or why it would be them.
Tanner: Ok. I'm going to go and see Nicole on my break. Call me if you find anything else.
Tanner only has a 1 hour break, but whilst she is using it, I search through all the evidence, and finally, I found her. Tanner comes back about 10 minutes after I made my discovery.
Tanner: Did you find anything whilst I was gone?
Toby: Yes, not only did I find anything, but I think we are finally ready to arrest, Mona Dilaurentis.
Tanner: How come?
Toby: Well, they both own white ford fiestas, but, I found that Fiona was in the area, but not in a car at the time of the accident. Where as Mona was. Bam!
Tanner: Well done Toby. Let's get her.
Me and Tanner get in my police car and we drive to an address we were given.
Spencer's POV:
Hanna insisted that me, her, Aria, Emily and Allison all go for lunch at her new favourite restaurant. We are now sitting on luxury leather chairs with very smooth menus in our hands, except mine is on the table.
Waitress: Can I take your orders?
Hanna: Can I have a Caesar salad with a light dressing, and a Diet Coke please.
Emily: Can I have a Macaroni please, and a lemonade please.
Aria: Can I have the chicken strips with the salad, but no tomatoes, with a Pepsi please.
Spencer: And can I haveā¦
All of a sudden, two police officers burst in the restaurant. It's tanner and Toby.
Spencer: Toby, what's going on?
I'm now standing by my husband, and then him and tanner walk over to Mona.
Mona: Can I help you officer?
Toby: Turn around please and put your hands behind your back.
Mona: Why, I haven't done anything.
Everyone, including the staff are staring.
Toby: Mona Dilaurentis, I'm arresting you for the attempted murder of Spencer Cavanaugh. You may not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence. Anything you do say may be given in evidence. Do you understand?
Mona: Yes, but it wasn't me!
Mona is led away, then Allison and Jason stop Toby.
Jason: Did you actually do this Mona?
Mona: Baby, of course I didn't.
Jason: Don't baby me. Spencer is my sister, and I will always put her before you. I want a divorce!
Mona: You don't mean that!
Allison: We let you into our family and this is how you repay is!
Toby's POV:
Tanner and another police officer take Mona away.
Spencer: That bitch.
Toby: It's ok. She's gonna get everything she deserves for hurting you.
Spencer: I love you.
Toby: I love you to.
I leave the restaurant. Thee girls obviously don't want to east because they all leave and drive to their own homes.
Tanner: Toby, go home. Be with your wife.
Toby: Are you sure?
Tanner: Yes.
Toby: Thank you.
I run back up to Spencer who's walking down the road.
Toby: Spencer.
Spencer: Toby.
Toby: I'm coming home. Follow me to the police station, I need to leave my car there.
Spencer: Ok.
I kiss Spencer and then run back down to my car. I drive with Spencer following behind me. We get to the police station and I get out my car. Spencer parks and stands with me, and we see Mona.
Toby: Your gonna get everything you deserve. You nearly killed my wife and the mother of my children. I'm never gonna forgive you for this.
Mona: I didn't see her. I tried to stop, but you know. My friends told me to keep on driving.
Toby: So, not only have you admitted to it, you have practically said that you did it in purpose.
Spencer: Toby, just leave it.
Spencer tries to calm me with her free arm.
Spencer's POV:
Toby takes me into a room and asks me to write a stat,net. I do so and me and him are out of the station writhing 15 minutes. If your thinking that I wasn't able to drive, your wrong. I multi tasked. Toby drives in the way home to give me a break.
Toby: Spencer, you really shouldn't be driving with one hand, I mean the chances of you crashing.
Spencer: Sorry. It was not a short drive.
Toby: That's not the point.
Spencer: Ok.
Me and Toby get home. I decide to have a bath as I want to go to work. I know Hanna will insist that I stay home, but I will just have to refuse. I can't let Mona's mistakes stop me from working.
Toby: You ok in there Spence?
Spencer: Yeah, could you help me get out, I'm struggling.
Toby come in, helps me get out, helps me get dressed and brushes and dries my hair.
Spencer: Can we pick the kids up?
Toby: Spencer, p,ease. You need to rest. I'll pick the kids up and I'll bring you home something nice.
Spencer: Something nice your bringing me after picking up the kids from school. What are you getting me, a math work sheet?
Toby: Ha ha. Now, if I come home and find that you have moved even one inch, I wont be impressed.
Toby smiles and I smile back. We kiss and then break. Toby leaves and not long after I feel the need to have some pain killers. Soon after, Toby and the kids arrive home. But the time they do, I'm sitting on the couch.
Spencer: Hey kids, how was school?
Mason: It's was boring.
Toby: Mason, go upstairs and help your sister with her homework please.
Mason: Ok, come on Isabella.
Toby's POV:
Mason picks up his and Isabella's bag and she follows behind him.
Toby: How have you been?
Spencer: Toby, you were gone for no more than 30 minutes.
Toby: 37 actually.
Spencer: Whatever, I had to take some pain killers, but I'm fine now.
Toby: Ok, well I'm going to cook chicken nuggets and ships for tonight. Nothing special.
Spencer: Ok.
I start to cook the food. By the time I serve it up, it's 6:30.
Toby: Isabella, Mason! Dinners ready!
The kids come down and we all join around the table, me sitting next to Mason and Isabella sitting next to Spencer.
Spencer: Toby this is delicious.
I can see that Spencer is struggling to cut her chicken.
Toby: Let me help you.
Spencer: I'm not a baby Toby.
Toby: I don't care, your struggling, so I'm helping you.
Spencer gives in, and I cut her chicken into pieces so it's easier to stab with her fork. We finish dinner and I wash the dishes. Then Spencer goes upstairs with the kids. I follow after them.
Spencer: Kids, pack your bags for tomorrow and then it's bath time.
The kids do as they are told and soon enough, they are lying on bed.
Isabella: I want momma to read me a story!
Spencer: Ok. Is it ok if dad reads you a story tonight Mason, I'll read to you tomorrow?
Mason: Sure mom.
Spencer: Your so kind.
