The five of us meet at Radley, the next morning.

"Guys, I'm so sorry. I was up late last night prepping for the Town Hall meeting, I turned my phone off." Spencer drops her phone down on the table in front of us.

"Who the hell sent that?" She questions.

"Someone who has our new number." Emily sighs.

"Like Ali? We all know I'm at the top of her suspect list." Aria points out.

"She really does have it out for you." I nod.

"Maybe that's why Sara's hanging around. She might not be able to cut her own meat, but she can type a text." Emily adds.

"I guess everything she told the judge about Charlotte was a lie." Hannah speaks up.

"Must be." I nod.

"Maybe she came back here to mourn the death of her mentor. Not her tormentor." Spencer says.

"And to take over the game." I add.

"So, are we definitely saying that Sara's the stalker?" Aria checks, looking around at us all.

"I'm telling you guys, that bitch wasn't Stockholmed." Emily tells us.

"The only thing we know for sure is that she spent two years helping Charlotte torture us. That's plenty of time to perfect the art of cyber-stalking." Spencer clarifies, that's true.

"Or it could just be some techie at the phone company with too much time on his hands." Hannah tells us. She lets out a big sigh and looks off. "God I miss New York. I am addicted to Blue Bottle Coffee, one cup and you feel like you can handle anything your boss throws at you. Staplers, her phone..."

"Your boss literally throws things at you?" Emily cuts her off to question.

Hannah just raises her eyebrows before she picks up Spencer's phone with the text still loaded up.

"Wait, what are you going?" Spencer asks.

"I lied to Lorenzo yesterday, and he knows it. I don't have any time to play games." Hannah tells us before she starts typing.

"Like the techie's really going to respond." Aria says.

Hannah flips the phone around to show us that she text 'Do I know you?' And the person on the other end is already typing.

"Okay, the techies typing." Emily says and Hannah turns the phone back to her to read the text.

"Yes." She reads out to us, before she flips the phone and shows us.

Fuck my life.

After needing to know if Ali got the text or potentially sent the text we get Emily to call her.

"Allison's at the Rollins family farm in eastern Pennsylvania. They are on a dairy tour right now." Emily tells us once she gets off the phone with her.

"Okay, if Ali's really tasting Amish cheese, do you think she could be the cyber-stalker?" Hannah asks.

"If is a really big two letter word Hannah." Aria tells her.

"Whoever this person is, they think that we know who killed Charlotte. They're sending us these texts because they want us to eat them out." Spencer says.

"Okay, we do know who killed her, don't we?" Hannah questions.

"Ezra said he didn't do it." Aria immediately defends.

"Maybe that's what you heard Aria. But the rest of us heard Ezra kick us out of his apartment." Spencer tells her.

"Guys." Emily says, I immediately follow her eyeline to a tv where Lorenzo is making a statement on the news.
