Season 2: Episode 11
Emily surfaced from the pool, into the bright sunlight as she smiled, hearing the various chatter and typical sounds of the people all around the local outdoor pool. She climbed out of the pool in her brand new blue strapless bikini and began making her way over to where the other girls were seated. They had gone to the local pool to hang out and enjoy a peaceful sunny afternoon, a means to unwind and relax now that the A problem was over. She smiled warmly as she approached Alison who lay back on a sun lounger, clad in her own bikini, a striped one in pink, blue and white.
"Hey Em." She greeted.
Emily grinned and picked up her towel. "So, everyone having fun I guess?"
They all smiled and nodded as Emily dried herself, taking note of Spencer in a brown and white plaid string bikini and Hanna in a pink bikini with frills on the top.
"So, where's Aria?" Emily asked.
Spencer was the one who answered. "She's gone to get drinks."
Hanna was still smiling and added. "So, how are we all doing...you know, now that everything's, dealt with, as far as A is concerned?"
"Well, there is some issues that remain, like that serial killer, but...I think Morgan's dad's got that covered, we've got a better chance of seeing that guy get caught." Alison added.
It was then Aria arrived, in her own bikini, a black and white striped one, and handed over their drinks.
She paused for a moment before looking over at Hanna who she had overheard.
"Really, I think we should be asking...how are you doing Hanna?" She asked.
"Me?"
Aria nodded. "Yeah, I mean...okay she kicked you out of her group along with the rest of us, but Mona was still your friend. You befriended her before any of us."
Spencer agreed. "Yeah, you guys both worked so hard to become the people you are."
"Well, I didn't exactly see Mona becoming a crazy psycho." Hanna remarked. "I won't deny it guys, I'm hurt but...This is on Mona, nobody else. I just have to remember that."
The others all nodded, but quickly pushed the thoughts aside and continued to smile and relax, enjoying their time at the pool. What they were not aware of was a figure hiding in the bushes, holding a camera and aiming it at the girls, especially their bikinis and most especially Hanna, taking pictures, lots of pictures, giving the beautiful blonde some special attention. Oblivious to this, Hanna set her drink down and sighed.
"So guys, do you really think Detective Linwood will catch that killer?" She asked warily. "I mean, the girls he's already killed looked exactly like us, what if he...you know...comes for us next?"
Alison nodded. "I already thought about that, it worried me too, but we have to have faith. Detective Linwood is certainly far different from other police officers here in Rosewood."
"That's true, I believe if anyone can do it, he can." Spencer added.
The others also agreed and Hanna nodded, trying to put her mind at rest.

Entering her room that night, wrapped in a towel, Hanna smiled. She had returned from the pool along with the other girls, going their separate ways and heading home, she had removed her bikini and showered and was now getting ready to get changed into her pyjamas. What she didn't realize at that moment was her webcam was on, having been hacked and pictures were being taken through it of her in just a towel.
"Hanna!"
She turned to the door and opened it, sticking her head out, still in her towel. "Yeah mom?"
"I'm just fixing something up, you want anything?" Ashley called back.
Hanna pondered for a moment before replying, smiling. "No thanks mom, I'm fine."
She gently closed the door and walked back to her bed, her pyjamas already set out she dropped her towel to pull them on, unaware that the web cam was still at work, getting pictures of her now naked.

During that same night, Wilden was alone in the police station, trying to catch up on paperwork. He sighed, shaking his head, he hadn't expected to get this behind. He still wasn't happy with the intrusion being caused by Thomas Linwood, but he couldn't deny there had been results.
'Still, I don't expect-' He thought to himself, but stopped.
His reason was that his phone had started ringing, catching him off-guard. He picked it up and checked it before a bright smile crossed his face and he answered.
"Hey, I wasn't expecting you to call at this time." He said. "How's it going, babe?"
He listened warmly as the person on the other end spoke.
"Yeah it's been kinda crazy at the moment, but things have calmed down, everything's alright." He replied.
He listened again.
This time he laughed. "Don't worry about it, I'll come visit you soon, babe...and I'll bring you something nice."
With another soft laugh he hung up the call and returned to his work.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, a little fun detail, but Hanna, Alison and Spencer's bikinis in this chapter are based on ones worn on the show, anyway, read and review please :)
