Liar

23 - It's Alive

"He wasn't moving, okay, and he was not breathing." Aria said. 

"Because he was dead." Emily said. 

"Is dead. Not was, is." Spencer said. 

"So, unless we're saying Ian's a zombie, somebody moved the body." Emily said. 

"it's probably stuffed in the trunk of A's car." Hanna said. 

"It's probably on its way to a meat grinder." Emily said. 

"Oh, Em, come on, you gotta quit watching those horror films." Aria said, making a face. 

"Guys, A's probably watching us right now." Spencer said. 

"Yeah, or waiting for Kat at the hospital." Hanna said. 

"Is she safe?" Aria asked. 

"Of course she is, my mom's still there." Spencer said. 

"They wanna see you girls down at the station. I'm here to drive you." Garrett said, doing his best to hide his concern for the girl who was just put in an ambulance. 

"I saw my parents earlier. They're gonna want to know where we're going." Aria said. 

"They'll meet us there. Come on. Let's go." Garrett said. 

...

"Ow. It hurts." Katherine cried, as the nurse in the ambulance tried to clean her cut. 

"I know, it was pretty deep. But you'll be okay in no time." The nurse said. 

"My friends. I need my friends." Katherine said. 

"They'll come by the hospital later. Right now, I need you to focus on keeping your eyes open and speaking to me. We'll be there in just a minute." 

...

"Hey, I thought we were going to the police station." Hanna said, as Garrett pulled into an alleyway. 

"Why are we stopping?" Spencer asked. 

"Garrett?" Emily said. 

"Let's go." Garrett said, unbuckling his seat belt. 

"No, I'm not going anywhere." Hanna said.

"Get out of the car." Garrett said. The four girls all looked at each other and hesitantly got out of the vehicle. "It's not safe to talk in the car."

"Well, it doesn't really feel safe here either." Hanna said.

"Look, I'm sorry if I scared you but there's some things you guys need to know before you start answering questions." Garrett said. 

"We're listening." Spencer said. 

"Alright, the police cannot know that you were blackmailing Ian and that I was helping you. It's a serious crime." Garrett said. 

"Well, what about the messenger?" Aria asked. 

"He doesn't want any trouble." Garrett said. 

"And the money?" Hanna asked. 

"For now, I'm hiding it." Garrett said. 

"What about the videos?" Spencer asked. 

"You still have them?" Garrett asked. 

"Yeah, we made a copy, but we don't have some of Kat's. She took those." Spencer said. 

"Okay, look, I've never asked you guys how you got them and I don't wanna know. But you better be prepared to tell the police how you did because that's, that's the first question they're gonna ask you." Garrett said.
