"Okay, can you please tell me why am I wearing someone's clothes and why are we in a morgue?" Lianna asked Spencer who was looking out of the door to spot Aria. The other girl busily attempted to tie the back of her so-called— uniform.

"Shhh." Spencer hushed making Lia roll her eyes, "This is so creepy." She muttered to herself as she used her palms to straighten the fronts of her dress when suddenly Spencer's phone beeped from the pocket of her dress making the girls jump in surprise.

"Hush your phone, Spence!" Lia whisper shouted as Spencer took her phone to read the message. "Is it A?" She asked nervously, her palms sweating.

"Yeah, she says stop being so noisy." Spencer said sarcastically making Lia frown before shoving her friend softly, "It's Aria. She says something came up."

"Okay, now it's just the two of us." Spencer said, tucking her phone back into her pocket after writing Aria a response. "Come on, let's go." She said, pulling the girl out of the door.

A shiver ran down Lianna's spine as the two walked down the dimly lighted hallway. "In every horror movie, this is where the main character dies." Lianna whispered to Spencer who abruptly stopped right in her tracks.

"I'm going to leave you." She said, staring right at the girl before walking fast making Lia shriek, "No! Sorry, wait, my short legs can't keep up! I'm going to keep my mouth shut, I promise!" Lianna apologized, rushing up to Spencer who thankfully walked slowly making the other girl smile.

As soon as the girls received an SOS message from Emily, they all rushed towards her room finding her with her food but instead of hospital food, her cream lied on top of the plate. "Your pain cream?" I asked, taking the cap of her styrofoam cup.

"Wow, A has to stop messing with our medicine cabinets too. Remember when she did this to me as well?" Lianna said, her eyes widening as she looked at Emily who nodded at what she said.

"How long has this been in your system? Did it damage any organs?" Spencer asked.

"Forget my organs! It's on my medical chart!" Emily bursted out, "It's ruined my life! I can never swim again!"

"Emily, medical records are private." Spencer said, trying to console the panicking girl, "Not from your parents!" Emily retorted back, her eyes watering as she panicked.

"So, what're you gonna tell your dad? You know we can't tell him about A." Lianna asked, genuinely feeling sympathetic. Why would A cross the line by stopping someone from doing what they love?

Then again, Lianna remembered that A ordered her to break Jason's heart making her sigh.

"I'm gonna tell him to get me out of here." Emily said, "Take me to Texas. I'm done. It can't get worse than this."

Lianna's eyes widened with what her friend said, "What?! No, Em, you can't do that!"

"Emily, remember, "A" tried to plow down Hanna with a car?" Spencer asked making Lianna look at her with a confused look on her face.

"Is that supposed to make her feel better?"

"Is that supposed to make me feel better?"

Emily and Lianna asked at the same time as they both looked at Spencer who waved her hands around furiously, "Look, I'm just saying that A tried to take
one of us down and it didn't work."

"Spencer, A taking us down. One at a time." Emily said, "Who knows? Aria's probably next."

"No! Stop it! We're not giving in to this freak!" Spencer said loudly making Lianna run her fingers through her hair, "Look, we are this close to finding
out what happened to Alison."

"And if "A" is the one that killed her." Spencer said, "And Ian." Lianna added with a nod, finally agreeing with what Spencer was trying to say.

"Yeah, and then "A" is gonna be the one to leave Rosewood, not us."

A short knock made the girls stop their conversation. They quickly covered the cream that was on the plate and watched as Mr. Fields entered the room, "Hi. Sorry to interrupt." He said, acknowledging the girls.

"No worries." Spencer said, "Uh, we actually just have to get back to work."

"When did you two start volunteering for the hospital?" Mr. Fields asked both Lianna and Spencer who looked at each other momentarily before Lianna smiled at him.

"Today's our first day." She lied through her smiling lips. It seems like Mr. Fields bought what Lia said when he nodded and placed the magazine that he was holding down on Emily's bed.

"We'll take this for you," Lianna said to Mr. Fields and Emily before taking the movable table that held the plate. She shot Emily a look who returned with a grateful smile before nodding at Mr. Fields.

"See you later." Spencer said, pulling the other end of the table as they walked out of the room. A sigh fell from their lips as they leaned against the wall.

"Damn, we need to get those files ASAP."
