The lights flickered overhead, as the four girls stood in the middle of the hallway, confused as to what to do.
"Um, why don't we split up?", Avery suggested.
"Um, why don't we not?", Hanna shot back.
"Hanna, you can come with me", Aria placed an arm on Hanna's.
"There has to be a better way", Spencer groaned exasperated, before turning to look at Aria, frantically typing away,"Who are you calling?"
"I'm trying her until she picks up."
A familiar ring sounded from across the hall. No doubt, it was Emily's phone. The girls rushed towards the source of the ring. The chemistry lab. Their hearts plummeted in fear. There were numerous beakers shattered all over the floor, shelves toppled over, and was that-
"Blood?", Hanna gasped.
"Don't go there, Han", Spencer warned.
"Why not", Aria shot back," She was up here with Toby."
"She will be alright", Avery tried to convince her friends, despite the loud thrumming of her own heart.

The faint chatter of the dispatch radio could be heard. Luckily, Emily was found to be in the hospital, completely safe, apart from a stitch in her head and a broken wrist.
"It was all in his shrink's file", Aria explained, as she, Spencer and Avery gathered around a wounded Emily's bed,"Toby and Jenna had a relationship."
"Way beyond step-siblings", Spencer added scrunching her nose slightly in disgust.
"Yeah, they were involved", Avery sighed. "Romantically?", Emily questioned.
"I doubt I'd call it romantic. I doubt she had much of a choice."
"And that's what Alison saw when she threw the stink bomb", Aria muttered.
"Yeah, and she threatened to expose Toby, which is why he wanted her dead.", Spencer concluded,"And not just her,us."
"Okay, we can't just assume things", Avery rolled her eyes at Spencer, before turning to Emily," We're saying it's a possibility."
"I do", Emily hesitates, "I just don't get it. If Toby killed Alison and wanted to do the same to me, then why am I sitting in my bed and not in a body bag?"
Avery mused, " Emily does have a point. I mean, why go through all the trouble of bringing her to a hospital? If his goal was to kill her off, he would have had done it already." She turned to see Emily slightly wincing at her statement,"Sorry Em."
