"He pushed her, didn't he?" Aria observed as the girls watched the video of Alison and Ian for the millionth time.
"All that mumbling and groaning? Maybe she was gripping the ground because she was—"
"Looking for a weapon to defend herself." Spencer cut it.
Hanna whipped her head over to Spencer, "Why are you snapping at me? I'm just trying to give your creepy brother an out."
"In-law." Spencer stated, "Ian is my creepy brother-in-law."
"Okay," Aria interrupted, "Whatever he is, he just married your sister and he might be a killer."
"This definitely proves he was with her the night she died," Emily said.
"I think we should give this to the police," Valerie said.
Hanna sighed, "Can we just watch this video one more time and figure out what they're saying."
"No, please. I can't watch this again." Emily pleaded, turning away.
"Yeah, Ems right. Let's just give it a rest." Valerie agreed.
The girls all sat around on the couch, cuddling against the pillows for warmth, "Is anyone else freezing?" Emily asked.
They all agreed, "I'll make some hot chocolate," Spencer said.
"Hot chocolate?" Hanna scoffed, "What is this camp tamarack? We can't just sit around singing kumbaya, we have to hand over that video!"
"What video?" A voice asked. Valerie felt her heart drop as Ian walked into the house. And noticing the looks on the rest of the girls' faces, it looks like there's did too.
Luckily, Spencer managed to stay calm and come up with a lie, "Uh, Hanna rented Tootsie, but she left it at home." She explained.
"Well, you're more than welcome to hang with us in the barn. Your sister picked some chick flick on demand." Ian said, rummaging through the drawers. As he turned around, Hanna pointed to the laptop. Spencer inched her way over, discreetly trying to get to it before Ian could see the screen.
"Oh, Emily. I've been meaning to ask you. Are you ready to trade your goggles in for a field hockey stick? You know we could use some speed on offense. Right, Spence?" Ian said. Spencer nodded shortly.
"Thanks, I'm still into swimming," Emily spoke nervously.
"What about you Valerie? Tired of playing soccer yet?" Ian asked. Valerie swallowed hard.
"I still haven't been cleared to play any sports yet," Valerie said. It was true, she hadn't been cleared.
Spencer managed to close the laptop slowly, making the girls all sigh in relief, "What's the matter? Did I walk into a chick flick or something?" Ian asked. Nobody said anything, "Okay, I get it, no guys allowed." Ian walked out of the house. Valerie sighed in relief as she felt her racing heart slow down.
