*Caleb's POV*

I grab the lamp from off the bedside table and creep closer to the door, making sure Hanna is tucked safely behind me.

"Caleb," Hanna whispers, fear rising in her voice. I squeeze her tight, but don't say a word because I don't know what to say to comfort her right now.

The door knob jiggles. I grip the lamp tighter, and gulp. Hanna shivers and makes herself as little as possible. The door knob jiggles more and more. I suddenly get a burst of courage. I stand up taller, Flex all my muscles, walk up to the door, hold my breath and count to three as the door jiggles furiously, and tear open the door while smacking the lamp at the same time.

"CALEB WHAT THE HELL!" Spencer screams, as she Aria and Emily cover themselves. Ezra and Toby follow behind. I quickly lower the lamp, peek around the hall, and usher them inside.

"What the hell is going on? Ezra asks, pushing me away. Hanna exhales.

"Sorry guys, we thought you were A!" she says, giving her friends a hug.

"Why would you think that?" Emily asks. I clear my throat.

"Because A has been looking for us for a long time." I say. 

"What is he looking for?" Toby asks. I look at everyone in the room.

"A wants our children." I say. The faces of everyone in the room fall sunken.

"Wh-why does he want them?" Aria asks, leaning closer to Ezra.

"Because he wants what he never had," I say. "A family."

Toby leaps up. "No way is he getting anywhere near our boys or anyone else!" Toby says, his voice raging. "I'm putting a stop to this now!" He stands to leave.

"Wait!" I yell. "Shouldn't we think about this first?" I ask. The rest of the room nods.

"Caleb's right babe." Spencer says, reaching out for him. Toby looks unsure.

"Look, A can't even get anywhere near our babies. They're all being taken care of!" Aria points out. I relax for a second, until I realize something.

"Wait, if we're all here, then who is watching the babies?" Hanna steps up.

"It's okay guys," she starts but then stops mid-sentence, her face turns pale as snow. "Mona has them." She finshes. The rest of us look to one another.

"oh shit..."

"We have to do something!" Ezra shouts, running to the car, with the rest of us out of breath and trailing behind.

"I could use Hanna's phone to track Mona." I say, sliding into the passenger seat. Ezra slips into the driver's side. Aria and Hanna take the back. Emily, Toby, and Spencer follow closely behind us in the other car.

"Ugh I can't believe I was stupid enough to trust Mona. I should have known that bitch was up to something." Hanna says crossly. By the way she says it, I can tell she's on the brink of tears. I reach into the backseat and brush my fingertips across her thigh.

"Just relax baby, we'll find her I promise." Of course I actually can't promise that, and I said it also to reassure myself, but Hanna doesn't need to know that. Just then my phone starts beeping. I jump a little and sit up taller.

"I got something!"

"What is it?" Aria, Ezra, and Hanna ask. My heart pumps furiously.

"They're at your place." I say, pointing to Ezra and Aria.

"No!" Aria screams, reaching for my phone. "We need to get there NOW!"

"Aria, hold on!" Ezra says, swerving the car to avoid driving into the ditch. "I'm going as fast as I can!"

The rest of the ride is silent, and I know we are all too worried to think. We pull to the side of the road a few blocks away from Aria and Ezra's, and the car behind us does the same. Toby, Emily, and Spencer hop out.

"Okay guys, let's do this." I say, and without another word, we race to Ezra's house.

We pick up pace when their house comes into view. Mona's baby blue vehicle is still parked in the driveway. Ezra unlocks the front door, and we hastily make our way through the house.

A high pitched song floats up the stairs. I beckon for the crew to follow. We sit at the bottom of the stairs, listening to Mona's sickening tune.

Carefully and quietly, the seven of us make our way up the stairs. Toby, Ezra, and I stand in front, while the girls cower behind us. Toby grabs his tazor from his belt loop and jumps into the babies nursery.

"Hold it right there!" He yells, making Mona jump out of her skin, while cradling Ashley in her arms. Shay, Keegan, Troy, Ian, and Lucy are sitting on the floor, chewing on toys.

"What are you doing?" Mona gasps, covering Ashley's head.

"Oh shut up Mona, and hand me my baby." Hanna says, lunging towards our daughter.

"But I was-"

"Going to hand them over to A?" Ezra accuses. "Kidnap them? Hold them hostage as your real live dolls?"

"What are you talking about?" Mona asks.

"Oh shut up Mona, we all know you're working for A." Spencer says, crossing her arms.

"We're turning you into the police." Toby says.

"No! It's not like that!" Mona says, bouncing Ashley in her arms. "I'm trying to protect them! A is planning to kidnap all of them. I needed to do something about it. He wasn't going to give up!" Mona says, fighting back tears.

I roll my eyes.

"Why wouldn't you just tell us Mona?" Emily asks.

"Because, I didn't want you to worry. I wanted to be the hero for once, instead of loser Mona. I wanted to save the babies so I could finally prove to you that I'm a good person!"

"Oh please," Aria scoffs. "You proved yourself many times Mona."

"You're going to jail." Toby threatens, pulling out a pair of hand cuffs. Mona backs away.

"No please!" she begs, tears streaming down her face. "I'm telling the truth!Please you have to believe me!"

Toby grabs her arm and she tries to pull away. Just as Toby is about to lock the cuffs around Mona's wrist, everyone's phones go off at the exact same time.

Reluctantly, we a reach for our phones and gasp at what the text message says. There's a picture of a bunch of emergency vehicles, and a body bag in the background.

Let her go. A is dead. I killed him. Mona is innocent. Game over.
