Vodka Kisses

0402- Turn of the Shoe

"When was the last time your mom called you from New York?" Aria asks Hannah.

The five of us are sat around a table at the Brew.

"I don't know, the day before yesterday. I haven't really been keeping track." Hannah tells her.

"Have you checked your phone?" Emily asks.

I'm eating a sandwich really slowly.

"She called me from the hotel room, Emily. She has no cell." Hannah reminds her.

"Who was that freaky woman at the funeral?" Hannah asks. There's so much going on right now and she's clearly overwhelmed.

"Which freaky woman? There was a couple, Han." Aria points out.

"The one in black." Hannah says.

"Everyone was in black." I remind her.

"With the veil, and she dived into that town car." Hannah adds on.

"Speaking of freaks, where's Melissa?" Emily asks.

I laugh so hard at that. It's kind of rude but so funny at the same time.

Spencer doesn't answer, she's too busy rearranging everyone's food.

"Spencer?" Emily questions.

"What?" Spencer doesn't look up.

"Where's your sister been?" Emily asks.

"DC. She's interviewing for an internship." Spencer does look up. Now she looks confused.

"With who, Satan?" Hannah asks.

I scoff. The Melissa jokes are on fire today.

"Wait a second." Aria says. "You think that Melissa was the woman in black?" She asks Emily.

"Do you?" Emily asks.

"I didn't really get a good look at her. I was trying not to wet myself when that new cop made a beeline over for us." Aria says.

"He was on to us." I tell them.

"He can beeline all he wants. We didn't do anything to Wilden." Hannah says.

"Except for throw his car in a lake and leave finger prints all over it when A pulled it out." Aria whisper shouts at her.

"Spencer, what are you doing with my French fries?" Aria asks. I look up at Spencer to find her meddling with everyone's food.

"I'm recreating the geography around the lodge to see if it's even possible that the person who jumped out of the plane could rescue you four from a burning building." She rambles.

Hannah sighs as I take a bite of my sandwich. She grabs her mozzarella stick but Spencer quickly jumps.

"Wait! Put down the mozzarella stick." Spencer tells her.

"It's mine." Hannah says.

"No it's not. It's a plane." Spencer says, taking the mozzarella stick and putting it down.

She's insane.

"Spencer, you can stack all the food that you want, it wasn't Alison." Aria tells Spencer.

"Wait. Why are you so sure?" Hannah asks Aria.

"Because I went to her funeral!" Aria bites. "Twice." She adds.

"We never saw a body!" Hannah points out.

This is all too much.

I didn't see her so I'm convinced she's dead because none of this makes sense otherwise.
