Toby was at work at the police station when he got a text from Emily.
"Toby you need to come home like right now. It's Spencer."
As soon as he read that he was immediately worrying about Spencer and he quickly wrote Emily back.
"Em what are you talking about, what's wrong with Spence?"
A million scenarios were running through his head as he waited for a response from Emily.
Please be okay Spence please be okay.
Finally after what seemed like forever, Emily texted him back.
"Just come home now, we will explain when you get here."
Right then he knew it was bad, he quickly left work early saying he had a family emergency, because duh Spencer is his family. As soon as he got back to the barn he found Emily,Hanna,and Alison waiting for him. But no Spencer."What's wrong? Where's Spence?"
Hanna was the first one to speak "That's the problem." And Alison finished for her "She's gone Toby." Toby could've sworn he felt his heart stop right there. "What do you mean she's gone?! What happened?!" He said desperately, his voice rising with panic.
"We don't know exactly what happened, but a little while ago A.D. sent us a text and that's when we rushed over here." Hanna said "What did the text say? Toby asked desperately. Alison was the one to finally speak up "It said, Nice job trying to protect your precious Spencer little liars, but I have her now and I would hurry up and find her before it's too late." So we rushed over here to make sure A.D. wasn't just trying to mess with us, and when we realized Spencer really was missing that's when Em texted you." "And why didn't you call me right when you got the text?!" Toby asked frantically. "Because like Ali said we wanted to make sure A.D. wasn't trying to trick us, I texted you as soon as we realized she was really missing." Emily said. Toby looked down at the floor "I know you did and I'm not mad at you Em, I just, I just want, no I need her back. I can't live without her and if anything happens to her then it's my fault because I wasn't here when she needed me the most!" Emily walked over to him and put her hand on his shoulder comfortingly. "Hey Toby look at me, this is NOT your fault okay? Don't blame yourself, Spencer is the strongest person we know she will be fine, we're going to find her I promise." Toby nodded and said "So where do we start?" Tears threatening to spill from his eyes. "Well first we need to get in touch with A.D. ."
Ali said and suddenly Toby's phone went off, he took a deep breath and took it out of his pocket and read the message out loud so the girls could hear it too. "Hello Officer Toby, I see you want your precious Spencer back, well come ALONE to the old abandoned warehouse in Brookhaven."
A.D.
"I don't think this is a good idea." Alison said.
"Let us come with you." Hanna said.
Toby shook his head "That's not happening I am not risking Spencer no you're all staying right here, Em back me up on this."
"He's right, we can't risk A.D. hurting Spencer, or worse. Let him go alone." Emily said. "Thank you." Toby said. "Now do we all agree on this?" He asked and the girls nodded. "Okay good." He said and then he texted A.D. back.
"Deal. I will come alone. Just don't hurt Spencer."
Seconds later, he got a response.
"You'll just have to hurry then, I don't like waiting too long."
A.D.
Then before Toby could respond, he got another message, it was an attachment, he quickly opened it up.
"She's waiting for you."
A.D.
