Spencer, Aria and Ivy were waiting for Emily after a swim tournament. The team had just won, and they were extremely proud of her. "Where are they?" Spencer wondered.

"I told my mum we'd be studying at the library so that's covered." Aria told them.

Ivy and Spencer nodded. "Good."

"You guys sure you wanna do this tonight?" Aria asked.

The two snapped their heads to face her. "Yeah." Spencer and Ivy replied simultaneously.

"Yeah, are you kidding?" Spencer began. "We have to find out what this guy know about Ali."

"And why his number was in Ali's—Vivian's coat." Ivy added.

Spencer nodded. "And we finally got this meeting set, so it's gotta be tonight."

Aria looked nervous. "Look, we're gonna have your back the whole time." Ivy smiled, squeezing her hand.

"I know." Aria said, then turned to Spencer. "So my Mom talked to your mom. You know it wasn't just one sleepover, Spence. It's been a whole week. My mom wants to know why you're not going home."

"I just—I can't be dealing with my family right now." Spencer admitted.

Ivy tilted her head. "Can we help?"

But they were interrupted by cheers and applause coming from the end of the hall. The three joined in, cheering for Emily.

The three headed over to her, already seeing Maya there. They each gave her hugs, and congratulated her.

"Em, my Mom said that we could have the team party at my house." Hanna told her.

Emily's smile widened. "That's great!"

The smile was wiped off their faces, when they saw two police officers enter, Garrett and some other guy. Ivy was slightly worried they were coming for her and the girls, but they just walked on past them.

Hanna went after them, and only came back until after the cops walked past the girls. "What just happened?"

"Garrett took Caleb's computer. Court order." She said.

Suddenly their phones beeped in their pockets.

Ivy, Hanna, Spencer and Emily, sat in a booth in a small diner. Aria sat in another booth behind them, waiting for the guy.

The door to the diner opened and no sooner did a guy speak to Aria. "So, you're a friend of Vivian's."

"Yeah." Aria replied, and the man sat down.

There was a small awkward pause, then the man spoke, "How much does she owe you?"

"Vivian owes you money?"

The man nodded slightly. "Vivian owes me a lot of money. She owes me a job and she almost owes me a girlfriend, thanks to you calling that number." He stated.

Emily passed Hanna a compact mirror, for her and Ivy to look at the man.

"You said that she cost you a job. What did she do?" Aria wondered.

The man let out a breath. "I worked at Allegheny Cellular. Human Resources. Your friend came in asking for a job, but she didn't want a job, she wanted information, and she said she'd pay for it."

"What kind of information?"

"I get it." The man nodded. "You're Alison."

Ivy side glanced Hanna, both showing the exact same look.
