Falling For The Suspect - Chapter 1 - SOS

Hanna POV

The newest text from A still rang through my mind as I walked home from the shop.I knew exactly who I could confide in to figure this out. I took out my phone from my purse quickly and sent a quick text saying simply,"Hey, I need to talk to you. Meet me at my place, it's urgent." That will surely get the point across.. Maybe a bit too much?

15 minutes later...

"Hanna, what is it? I came here as quick as I could, what's wrong?" Em said rushing up to my porch, concern written all over her face.
"I don't know how to start..." I said hesitantly as she sat next to me on the swing.
"You can tell me anything, you know that. Now start from the beginning, that's a good place to start." She said, reaching over and grabbing my hand.
"Well I was at the coffee shop getting a muffin and...."

"Oh my god. Hanna.." Em gasped and turned.
"I know it was stupid.." I stammered.
"No it's not that, Hanna if A sent that text to you, then they were watching you. They could be watching all of us. " She was right. If A was watching me then who's to say A isn't watching all of us. What if that's been what's been happening all along?
"We have to tell Aria and Spencer." We both jumped off the swing and ran to Emily's car, sending an SOS while doing so.

Holbrook POV

I couldn't stop thinking about what happened with Hanna at the coffee shop. What if someone saw and reported it anonymously? I could get pulled off the case. And I'm so close to finding the truth! I almost kissed her back before I realized what I was thinking. I couldn't have feelings for her, could I? Could I really have feelings about one of the suspects of Alison DiLaurentis's murder? Who messaged her after she left the shop? Why did she look scared for her life? I need to find out what's going on before something bad happens.
I got in my car and drove to Hanna's house. I got out and knocked on the door. Hanna's mom opened it. "Hello detective, how can I help you?"
"Evening Ms. Marin, is Hanna home?" I used my cop demeanor to pass it off as routine.
"Um no actually. I saw her leave with Emily in a rush. I'll tell her you stopped by."
"Thanks." And with that she smiled and shut the door. I guess I'm checking the Fields residence.
When I arrived at Emily's house, her mom said they were at Spencer's house. It all seemed strange to me that Hanna lied to her mom about her whereabouts... I guess I'll check at Spencer's then.

Hanna POV

We decided Spencer's as a meeting place because we can go to the barn if Melissa or Mrs. Hastings is home. And it's where we usually meet. Me and Em were first to arrive, Spencer already being here seeing as it is her home. And luckily no one was around so we didn't have to go into the barn that brought back so many memories of Alison and her disappearance.After we went inside, Aria pulled in the driveway and soon after came in behind us. We all stood around the island and I started telling them everything.

Holbrook POV

I reached Spencer's house and went to the door by the kitchen (Mrs. Hastings had previously told me to go to that door) but stopped when I heard voices in the kitchen. I knew it was the girls so I did what any cop would do, I listened.
"I kissed Holbrook..." I heard her say and the girls reply 'oh, Hanna' until she spoke again.
"A somehow saw and sent me this."
"I bet you kiss all the detectives that suspect you for murder. -A" I heard Aria read. Who is A?
"If A saw Hanna kiss Holbrook, then A was watching Hanna. What if A has been watching us all along? We're not safe anymore." Emily spoke.
"It makes sense now; how A knew what we were doing, when we were doing it when no one else did." Aria said.
"We have to find out who this son of a bitch is and stop them." Spencer declared. I saw the kitchen suddenly go dark and the girls shriek.
"Um guys..." Spencer said. Just then Hanna screamed and I grabbed my gun.
"Hanna!" Emily yelled and Hanna screamed again, this time with words "Help! Let go of m--" Hanna's words were cut off as I kicked in the door.
