13) know your frenemies

"Hi, I'm planning a surprise visit for my husband, and he cannot stop talking about the room he had on his last visit can you pull up that reservation his name is Ian Thomas" Spencer said.

"For your sake I hope Melissa doesn't find out what you're doing" Naomi told Spencer.

"Why are you doing this" Emily asked Spencer and Spencer covered the phone.

"I think Ian and Alison were together the weekend before she disappeared" Spencer whispered.

"Do you guys remember how Alison was acting when she got home from visiting her grandmother all giggles and tan" Spencer asked.

"Yeah" Emily said. "What about it" Naomi asked. "Ali hated old people and Ali's grandmother lives in Georgia, Hilton Head is in South Carolina she was lying to us" Spencer said.

"So, what Alison lied more than she breathed you think that was enough to make Ian wanna permanently shut her up" Emily said.

"Spence, Ali had a lot of enemies nothing unusual" Naomi said. "Wow I thought you two be happy to hear it was anybody but Toby" Spencer said.

"I am happy, but I just don't think this is going to help much" Naomi said. "All Toby wanted was for me to believe him and I didn't" Emily said.

"Toby lied about a lot of things too Em" Spencer said. "If lying was a crime we would all be in jail" Emily said. "She's right we're not innocent either" Naomi said.

"Agent Cooper good morning" Emily said once she saw Agent Cooper make her way to them.

"Hi beautiful day huh" Agent Cooper said and Emily and Naomi nodded. Emily and Naomi noticed a familiar car pull up.

Hanna got out of the car and went to Naomi, Spencer, and Emily. "Hey Naomi, nice heels I see you traded your wheels for heels" Hanna said making Naomi smile.

"Nice seeing you too Em" Naomi said. "Thank you" Spencer said on the phone before hanging up and Hannah sat down.

"The food in this town is to die for I'm missing it already" Agent Cooper said. "Are you going somewhere" Hanna asked her.

"Came here to find the person that killed your friend Toby Cavanaugh may be out on bail but he's not leaving town, and we have a solid case against him so unless you have a reason for me to stay" Agent Cooper said.

"Well, I guess we'll see you around then" Hanna said. "You girls take care" Agent Cooper said and left.

"Poor Toby" Naomi mumbled, and Hanna noticed the look on her face. But Naomi quickly snapped out of it and noticed Spencer's expression.

"What" Emily said to Spencer noticing her expression as well.

"Ian was definitely at Hilton Head the same weekend Ali was" Spencer said. "Then it seems like we might have a reason for Cooper to stay" Naomi said.

"Agent Cooper is not some small-town cop who's gonna arrest Spencer's brother-in-law because Ali carved his name in a tree" Hanna said.

"Yeah, a tree that's no longer there" Aria said as they all took a seat. "No one knows that but us" Emily said. "And Ian" Spencer said. "And A" Naomi said.

They all looked outside and saw Noel before looking back at each other.

"Noel led us to that tree for a reason" Spencer said. "Is A I mean is Noel trying to help us find Ali's killer" Aria asked.

"A helping us wow that's a first" Hanna said. "And why would Noel want to help us find Ali's killer" Naomi asked.

"How could Noel even know about Ian and Ali" Spencer asked. "Have you ever noticed how Noel is always around" Aria asked and they all saw Mike talking to Noel.
