"Toby, you speak Cops. You should do the talking." Caleb says as we get to town square, right opposite the police station.

"Wait, Toby, your job is on the line here. Are you sure that you wanna be a part of this?" Spencer rationalises.

"Are you serious, Spencer? Hannah's life is on the line." Caleb sounds so angry.

He still loves Hannah and she still loves him.

"When you asked me for my help, I said I was all in. I still am." Toby confirms.

"We're wasting time let's go." Caleb heads towards the police station.

"Guys, hold up." Mona says and tilts her head to the police station.

Jessica DiLaurentis walks into the police station.

So that wasn't edited, that's real. She's real.

She's not dead?

"Alison's not the only one seeing ghosts tonight." Aria says.

I can't believe she's in that institution when we're all seeing her, she isn't crazy.

"Maybe she wasn't seeing ghosts at all." Ezra speaks my mind.

"Unless we're under a body snatcher invasion, that's a real person." Emily speaks up.

"When they dig up Mrs D in my backyard, she wasn't just a little dead, she was rotting-corpse dead." Spencer tells us.

"Whoever the hell that is, she was at the lost woods tonight. If she's a part of this, she knows where Hannah is and I will beat the truth out of her if I have to." Caleb takes a few steps forward but Toby and Logan grab him.

"You can't just walk in there and start throwing punches. Just give me a minute. Let me find out why she's here." Toby runs into the police station.

"And who she is." Mona adds.

"Or what she is." Emily adds.

I run a tired hand over my face. I'm tired but also shaking with adrenaline.

"She's Jessica's twin, Mary Drake." Toby comes over to us and tells us.

"From the Radley file, she's Charlotte's biological mom." Mona says.

"So why are we still standing here? She thinks Hannah killed her daughter. She's A.D." Caleb says.

"Maybe, but she's one step ahead of us. She just bought the lost woods and she's in there filing a report about a break in." Toby tells us.

"By us." Ezra inputs.

Us girls phones start pinging again.

A lie for a lie, an eye for an eye.
The bell tolls for Hannah.
A.D.

Just as we read the message out for the boys, the bell tower chimes.

Wait?

The nine of us start running into the church and into the bell tower.

I look up at the bell and my whole body deflates and lets out a scream.

Hannah is hanging from the bell tower. She's dead.

Caleb's the first to run up the tower, Toby and Logan follow as they snap into power.

I stand frozen as everyone else runs up the stairs to retrieve the body.

"Gracie? Grace?!" I hear Logan shout in a panic.

I don't answer.

"I'm sorry I thought you were right behind me." He reaches out and holds my face in his hands, he holds my face to look at him and not up at where Hannah was dangling.
