"Hi. I'm planning a surprise visit for my husband and he cannot stop talking about the room he had on his last visit. Can you pull up that reservation?" Spencer said, faking a country accent.
Katherine was walking past when she heard the fake accent. "Who are you on the phone with?" She whispered.
"His name is Ian Thomas." Spencer said into the phone, making Katherine roll her eyes.
"Now she's onto Ian? What's up with the targeting my friends?" Katherine whispered to Emily.
"Yeah, why are you doing this?" Emily whispered.
"I think Ian and Alison were together the weekend before she disappeared." Spencer whispered, blocking the phone with her hand. "Do you guys remember how Alison was acting when she got home from visiting her grandmother. All giggles and tan?"
"Yeah." Katherine and Emily said.
"Ali hated old people and Ali's grandmother lives in Georgia. Hilton Head is in South Carolina. She was lying to us." Spencer said.
"So what? Alison lied more than she breathed. You think that was enough to make Ian permanently shut her up?" Emily said.
"Alison was obsessed with Ian, Emily. She'd show up to parties, do things in front of Melissa. I love Ian but it does look bad if you really think about it." Katherine said.
"I thought you'd be happy to hear it was anybody but Toby." Spencer said.
"Still sucky for me." Katherine said with a frown. Spencer rubbed Katherine's shoulder and gave a faint smile. A way to apologize.
"All Toby wanted was for me and Kat to believe him and I didn't." Emily said.
"I did." Katherine said.
"Okay, but Toby lied about a lot of things too." Spencer said.
"If lying was a crime, we would all be in jail." Emily said.
"For life." Katherine said.
"Agent Cooper. Good morning." Emily said, making Spencer's eyes widen at who was behind her.
"Hi. Beautiful day, huh?" Agent Cooper said.
"Looks like someone traded in her wheels for heels." Emily said as Hanna walked up to them.
"They're flats, but they are Ferragamos." Hanna said. "You're talking to us again?" She asked Katherine, noticing the brunette at the table.
"Yeah." Katherine said with a small smile which Hanna returned with a wide one.
"Good, we've missed you." She said, sitting down next to her.
"Thank you." Spencer said over the phone before hanging up.
"The food in this town is to die for. I'm missing it already." Agent Cooper said.
"Are you going somewhere?"Hanna asked.
"Came here to find the person that killed your friend. Toby Cavanaugh might be out on bail but he's not leaving town and we have a solid case against him. Unless you have a reason for me to stay." Agent Cooper said.
"How about the fact that it wasn't T-" Katherine started but she was cut off.
"Well, I guess we'll see you around, then." Hanna said.
"You girls take care." Agent Cooper said, before walking away.
"What?" Emily said when she was gone.
"Ian was definitely at Hilton Head the same weekend as Ali." Spencer said.
"Well, yeah. I could've told you that." Katherine said.
