Later that day, after their trip to Brookhaven, the girls were sitting at a table outside a bakery, called 'Lucky Leon's Cupcakes'. "Well. he recognized the coat." Aria said as she joined them. "But when he saw it first, he thought it was Alison.. Vivian." she said, correcting herself. "When we noticed you didn't come back, he was gone." Emily said. "He was cute from the back." Hanna said. "And so was his front." Aria mused, making Josie laugh. "Under different circumstances." Aria added with a little laugh.
"He's been in Florida for, like, a year." Aria said. "What did you tell him?" Josie asked. "Uh, I told him that I was a friend of Vivian's and that I hadn't seen her since she gave me the coat." Aria explained and Josie nodded. "Can I see that number again?" Spencer asked Aria. "Yeah." she responded, handing the note to Spencer. "Thanks," she said, taking it from Aria. "Duncan Albert?" Spencer questioned as she read the note. "He said he met her in Brookhaven?" Emily asked and Aria nodded. "Yeah, in a bookstore. Couple places down from that creepy doll hospital." she said.
"Well, whoever Duncan is, he's connected to Alison and what she wanted in Brookhaven." Spencer said. "How do we know that he wasn't just some guy she flirted with in a bookstore?" Emily asked and Josie shook her head. "I don't think Alison wasted Vivian on flirting, when she was Vivian, she wanted something." she said. "She was looking for 'A'?" Hanna asked. "Duncan was part of that trail." Emily said. "I'll call him," Aria said, staring at the piece of paper. "Aria, you don't have to." Spencer said, trying to assure her. "Any one of us could've been wearing that coat." Emily said.
"But it was me." Aria replied as tires squeaked on the road, making Spencer look at the car that stopped not far from them, the girls, noticing her staring at something, followed her line of sight to see Jenna getting out of the car along with Toby, making Spencer get up from her seat as she stared at Toby. "She had the operation." Hanna said. "Spence?" Josie said, as Spencer slowly returned to her seat.

"He thought Aria was Alison's fake identify?" Richie asked as they ate breakfast at her house. "Yeah." she said with a nod. "Weird." he muttered before eating the toast he had on his plate. "Defintally." Josie replied as she got up and put her dishes in the sink before sitting back down, this time next to Richie. "And don't even get me started on that creep doll shop." Josie said with a shudder, making Richie laugh softly at her. He knew she hated dolls, even as a kid, they creeped her out. "Have you spoken to Caleb?" Richie asked, changing the subject.
"No, and I don't think I will just yet," she said. "Why not?" he asked, pushing his empty plate away. "Him knowing he's my brother, will put an extra target on his back from 'A'." she said, "Once this is all over i will, i just don't want him to not want me as his sister or in his life," she said and he nodded in understanding. "Everything will be sorted out eventually, and no matter how long it takes, i'll be here." he said, making Josie smile before kissing him, making him smile into the kiss.
