Food for Thought

FYI, I just want to put it out there again that Cece is NOT Charlotte/Charles and is in no way related to Jason. I wrote this story about a year ago before Charles was even mentioned. Not much happens between them but it is sort of necessary to the plot later on. Hope this doesn't put you off, but this is my story and this is how I wrote it.

Two more days, I kept repeating to myself. Toby had been gone for exactly two weeks but now he would be home in two days. Well, technically one day and fourteen hours but two days was easier to say.

"Hey, Spencer," Mona greeted me as she walked into the room.

"Hey, Mona, what's going on?" I asked.

She had called me and asked me to come over without saying why. I got Jason to give me a ride and strangely enough Mona wasn't there. Her mom let me into her room and I had been waiting about fifteen minutes.

"I found out something big. I'll explain more when Mike gets here." Mona replied vaguely.

"You'll explain what when I get here?" I heard Mike ask as he walked in.

"Hey you," Mona said and I could tell she was smiling. I was happy for her, but right now it made me miss him even more.

"Hey, sorry I'm late. I had to wait for Aria to get off the phone so she could give me a ride." Mike apologized. "Do either of you know who her secret boyfriend is?"

"No, she talks about him all the time but won't give us a name." Mona quickly lied.

"Yeah, she said something about not wanting to be teased about her relationship." I added.

"Wow, I thought for sure she would have told you girls." Mike commented in surprise.

"Sorry, we really don't know. But if we find out we'll let you know who he is." I assured him even though I was lying.

"Oh well, I guess the mystery man will remain a mystery. Unless he hurts her, then I'll find out who he is and hurt him." He stated. "So, what do you have to tell us Mona?"

"Okay, so both of you know that Caleb was arrested for hacking into the school's computer system yesterday right?" Mona asked us and both of us nodded. "Well, I went with Hanna to try and bail him out..."

"Wait I thought he was let go because the police found out he was hacked too?" I couldn't help but interrupt.

"He was. But Hanna and I didn't know that at first. So while we were waiting around I did some digging. I found Alison's case file and took it with me when we left. I..."

This time Mike was the one to interrupt her. "You did what? Mona you could get in serious trouble. Why would you do that? You have to take it back before someone realizes it's missing."

"Don't worry, I made a copy of everything and returned the original a few hours ago." Mona stated with a little annoyance. "I did it because the police don't tell the media everything. And if we want proof that Jenna and Garrett did this we need all the information."

"Did you find anything that we can use?" I asked her. "Although, since you said you found something big I guess you did."

"The big thing I found was what I didn't find. There's a page missing from Alison's autopsy report." Mona revealed.

"This is proof that someone is working on the inside. Only someone that read or filed that report could have removed something. That means it has to be a police officer and we all know which one it was." I said and a smile came to my face in excitement that we finally had some solid evidence.
