Home Sweet Home [PLL]

Bring Down The Hole

Things overnight was from bad to worse. It turned out Emily and Jessica had found evidence of someone having lived in the Dilaurentis' basement and they had no idea for how long, or if they were coming back

And of course their first suspect was Cece Drake 

"Do you actually think she's been living in that crawl space?" Aria was asking at lunch 

"Aria, there was a sleeping bag." Emily replied 

"But napping isn't living." She said 

"Unless you're a reptile, which kind of describes Cece." Lily added "At least the Cece that Mrs. DiLaurentis remembers." 

"But not just Mrs. D." Aria said "Even Shana's scared of this girl."

"Yeah, well I'm scared of Shana."

"She's not the one who used Jenna's head as batting practice at your birthday party." Aria said 

"Yeah, why is Cece going after Jenna?" Spencer asked 

"Why would she go after any of us?" Lily replied "We had nothing to do with her getting kicked out of college. We have no idea what Ali could've told her." 

"Well we know why she hates you" Spencer said to the girl who rolled her eyes

"Look me dating Jason might be a reason for her to hate me but the rest of you did nothing" She said "So what could Ali have possibly said that would make Cece hate us enough to drill holes under Ali's house and stare up Emily's skirt?" 

Emily shivered at the thought "How am I supposed to live in that house?" 

"Hang out on the second floor." Aria said 

"And wear underwear at all times." Spencer added, but Emily didn't look comforted at all, and then their conversation was interrupted by Hanna's arrival

The blonde sat down and immediately let out a sigh "Where you been?" Aria asked her 

"Uh, with my mum." She answered "She met another lawyer." 

"How'd it go?" Lily asked 

"Not great. They're all just bottom-feeders trying to make a name for themselves." 

"There are other ones-" 

"Em, she's met all of them." Hanna snapped "They don't care what happens to her. She's just... Case number 79." 

"Your mum's gonna find somebody who really cares about her." Aria said 

"She already found someone who cared." Hanna said and looked at Spencer "Why can't you tell your mom to ask the judge to get back on that case?" 

"'Cause "A" took her down, Hanna." Spencer replied

"Spencer, talk to her. Please." Hanna begged "My mum trusts her. She needs her."

"I know, and my mum is not deserting her. She just... she has to figure out what kind of role she can play without compromising your mum's defence" Spencer explained

Emily's eyes were trained on a familiar someone entering the courtyard "What is she doing here?"

"Who?"

All of their heads whipped around and saw the Rosewood PD Lieutenant walking towards them "Lieutenant Tanner." 

"Why is she at our school?" Hanna asked 

"Doubt it's for the baked ziti." Lily replied, gesturing to the meal on her plate just as the Lieutenant reached them 

"Hello, ladies. May I join?" The girls shared an uncomfortable look between them but nodded stiffly and she sat down, her attention immediately going to Emily "I hear you and your mother moved in with a neighbour. Must be nice not having to use a desk as an ironing board. Have you been back to your house since the accident?"
