The girls sat in Spencer's kitchen. It was early in the morning. "Wait where's Ian?" Emily asked

"Don't worry, he went to Philly to be with Melissa. It's only me and my brother" Spencer replied

"I didn't realized life existed at this hour" Emily said, clearly tired. Aria turned on the computer. "Come on, guys, just walk. You need to see this" she told them

"Why can't we do this when normal people wake up?" Bella asked, yawning after she said that

"I'll make coffee" Spencer said and walked over to the coffee machine. "Well, when it's ready just pour it down my throat" Hanna told her

Aria showed them a picture on the laptop. It was a picture of Alison walking in her backyard. "I thought we were done looking at this" Spencer said, "I mean, we know the shadow is Ian, right?"

"Don't tell me you woke us up for this" Bella, who could bearly keep her eyes open, said. "It's important. I couldn't let it go" Aria explained

"Have you been up all night?" Hanna asked Aria. "Maybe"

"But you have. One eye is bigger than the other. You look like a strung-out Powerpuff girl" Hanna said

"Just look at the picture" Aria told her. "Who's having coffee?" Spencer asked, but the girl didn't hear her

"I mean, there's only one place where this picture could have been taken from" Aria said

"Right. Alison's bedroom" Bella said, looking at the picture

"No, Alison is in the picture. She clearly didn't took that" Hanna said. "Okay, but somebody in her house did" Aria told them

"Like who? Her parents?" Emily asked

Bella thought a moment. "Them or her brother"

"Jason" Spencer whispered. "My mom ran into him at the bank. He's back in town" Hanna told them

"Why?" Emily asked. "Well, we have to call him" Aria said

"Ew. I'm not going to talk to him" Hanna said, hating the idea

"I will" Spencer offered, "We need to know if he took this"

Bella sat in the school library, studying. She listened to music over her headphones, so she didn't notice that someone sat in front of her now

When she noticed, she took her headphones off. "Trevor, hey"

He smiled at her. "I heard you girls earlier when you were talking in the kitchen"

"Uhm, did you hear what we talked about?" Bella asked, hoping he didn't hear anything important

"No, i didn't. I just know that you were tired" He said, chuckling. She smiled. "Yeah"

"You were at this school dance, right?" He asked her. She nodded. "Yes. It was kind of lame, if you ask me"

He smiled. "I planned on coming, but I couldn't make it. Did I miss anything?"

She shooked her head and giggled. "Nope. It was really boring"

She saw Spencer, Aria and Emily who stood in front of the library. Spencer signaled her to join them

"Talk to you later?" He asked and she nodded with a smile. "Sure"

The girl walked out of the library. She still thought it's kinda weird being friends with her best friends brother. He was really nice and she liked talking to him, but still kind of weird. Expecially when A is making it look like they're dating or somerhing. She walked over to Aria, Emily and Spencer. "We're going to eat lunch now. Wanna come?"
