0502- Whirlie Girlie

The bus pulls into Rosewood and this is it. We all get off of the bus but Ali tries to turn back. Thankfully Emily and Spencer were able to talk her into going to the station.

We walk into the precinct and Detective Holbrook sees us immediately, he comes straight towards us.

"Are you detective Holbrook?" Ali asks.

"I am." He nods.

"I think you've been looking for me. I'm-"

"I know who you are." He cuts her off. "I'm glad you're with your friends. Welcome home. I'm guessing you have a lot to tell me." He says as Ali looks into her bag.

"Maybe we can begin with the night that you disappeared." He suggests.

"I didn't disappear." Ali says.

I mean, she did.

"I was kidnapped." She tells him.

What the fuck?

When was this the plan?

I try not to let the surprise take over my face as I glance over to Spencer.

"I was kidnapped and held hostage for two years, and if it weren't for my friends, I wouldn't be standing here. They saved my life." She cries.

Oh no no.

Detective Holbrook leads us to a conference room where Ali tells us all the story of her kidnapping.

He shows Ali a picture, the picture of us finding out she was alive for the first time.

"We don't know who took this photo, but it's dated, so I'm assuming this wasn't your first visit home?" He questions. "You have any memory of this night?"

"It was the night that I got away from him." Ali tells us all.

"Your captor? How?" Detective Holbrook asks.

"I jumped out of the car." She admits.

"While you were blindfold?" He questions.

"Yeah, I tore it off and I ran straight into the woods so that he couldn't catch me." She tells us all.

"But on the night of this photo, you managed to make it back to Rosewood and you found your friends." He says but it sounds like a question.

"I asked them to hide me." Ali jumps in even though he's looking at us like he wants us to answer.

"You thought they would be more helpful than the police? Your parents?" He asks.

"I was scared. Okay, I was scared that if I came back home and I was out in the open that he'd find me again." She says.

"So how did you protect her?" He asks looking at the five of us.

Good question, how did we protect her?

"They hid me in the woods. In a shed that we all used to hang out in after school, the weekends." Ali jumps back in.

"But you just said that they came to your rescue in Philadelphia." He points out the first plot whole in her story.

The door opens and Mr DiLaurentis rushes in.

"Oh dad!" Ali cries as she stands and hugs him.

Detective Holbrook leaves.

"Was I sleeping on that bus, when did we discuss kidnapping?" Hannah leans over me to ask Spencer.

"We didn't." Spencer frowns.

"Why is it just her dad? Where's her mother?" Emily asks.

"I don't know." Aria whispers.

Our parents were waiting outside the conference room. Well not my parents, my parents are still in Seattle and Emily's mom is in Texas.
