Home Sweet Home [PLL]

A Dark Ali

While Lily and Melissa had been getting their story straight, Alison had been called into the police station to identify a man who had come forward to admit to being the one who kidnapped and blindfolded her

But of course that story wasn't true and only the liars knew that, and Ali hadn't wanted to convict him of a crime that didn't happen so when they had asked if that had been the man who had hurt her, Ali had said she didn't know

"You said you don't know?" Spencer asked in shock 

"What was I supposed to say, Spencer?" Ali replied 

"How about "no"?" Emily suggested 

"I was blindfolded, remember?" Ali said

"I'm sorry, do we seriously have to remind you that you were never actually kidnapped?" Spencer scoffed

"There's a man being questioned by the police right now for a crime that never happened." Aria said

"Guys, this is A." Emily said" I mean, you said he knew about the rock that hit you. He knew where you were kept, what you ate, what mattress you slept on. It's the same story that you told the doctor."

"And Gabe, the night we got back from New York." Lily added 

"Well, it doesn't matter where A got it." Aria said "What matters is what A is planning to do now."

"If A is behind this, that's exactly who that guy is gonna run to when he panics." Ali realised 

"What are you saying?" Hanna asked 

"I'm saying, if I can make him think that he's gonna go down for this, we can follow him to A and finally win A's game." She explained

"Great. We win the game, we find out who A is." Aria said sarcastically "What happens when we lose?"

The five other girls walked out of Ali's house, passing the cop car which was permanently parked on her driveway in case of an attack

"Is it weird that we haven't gotten an A message about this yet?" Hanna asked 

"No, I don't need a creepy text to read the writing on the wall." Aria replied "The second Ali says that this guy kidnapped her, we're gonna figure out that Cyrus Petrillo's a sheep farmer in Montana and couldn't possibly have done this. And then the whole world's gonna know that Ali's a big fat liar." 

"And us." Hanna added "Right now, we're just as big and fat as she is." 

"Hey, guys, keep your voices down." Lily warned as they passed the car 

"Yeah. Thank God the cops are here so we don't have to worry about being imaginary kidnapped." Spencer grinned 

"Yeah, but once Tanner figures out that the kidnapping story is a lie, they're gonna figure out about New York and Shana real quick." Aria said

"Ali's not an idiot. She's not gonna walk right into an obvious A trap." Emily said 

"We don't know that anymore." Spencer said "We all heard her in there. She's gone rogue." 

"Okay, well, someone needs to go back in there and make sure that she doesn't ID this guy." Aria whispered 

"Right, well, Emily?" Lily suggested 

"Yeah." 

"Yeah."

Emily looked surprised "Spencer's the convincing one." 

"Yeah, but you're the hardest to disappoint." Aria shrugged

"It's about your eyes." Lily explained
