"We're giving him all of it? Two thousand Dollars is a lot of money." Emily says a few days after the party. Spencer had somehow gotten her hands on the two thousand dollars and we weren't to ask questions.

"Emily, if he can finally tell me who A is, I would hand over a million." Spencer retorted

"And not ask for change." Aria added. But I was still confused as to how she...

"How did you get the money so fast?" I question, she became shifty and didn't meet my eye

"Which one?" I quizzed

"I promised I wouldn't say." I scowled towards her she was way to cagey for this particular situation.

"What time did Jonah say to meet him?" Emily wondered

"Six, but not all of us are gonna go, Just me and Spencer. So we'll just meet up with you after" I reply. Aria stood straighter

"Are you sure, you're not exactly..." she started to fuss over me, sometimes she forgot that I was the oldest.

"I'll be fine Mom."

"Why just you two?" Hanna asks.

"Because I'm the face he knows and she's the bank." I replied

"Yeah, if we crowd him he's gonna think something's up." Spencer added

"Something is up we're finally gonna find out who's been torturing us since Ali's funeral, and, hello I kind of wanna be there for that." Em sassed

"Volume." Spencer sang

"Hey Ladies." Mona smiled as she stopped in front of us.

"Hey." we replied all tired.

"Okay, um, Hanna? Can I borrow you for a sec?" the two left and I groaned slightly Aria turned to me with concern etched on her face.

"Your arm giving you trouble again?" Ri asked

"Story of my life, if it isn't as breaking my arm it's Noel giving me a black eye and dislocate shoulder. Can we just sit down and eat."

"Sure. Han" she called over "We're gonna go to lunch, we'll meet you there" Hanna nodded and we left.

After School I had physical therapy, then I was at Jason's  before Spencer picked me up for the meet with Jonah. I sat jiggling my leg. I was nervous, agitated and had a very bad feeling.

"What time is it?" I asked

"5:58" she answered. I nodded and bit the skin around my nail

"What about now?"

"Erica, it's still 5:58." she replied and i sighed but then I saw him.

"He's here." Jonah walked over he saw Spencer was with me.

"Who's this?" he questioned. Spencer stood up and crossed her arms to look intimidating.

"I'm the money." I pulled her back down

"She is, she's the money" I confirm, he scoffs

"So where is it?"

"No, not until you hand whatever it is over." Spencer stood again.

"No way. I've already got burned once. it's not gonna happen again." I nudged Spencer and she took out the money. I stood grabbed it and handed it over. He checked it and looked back up.

"You heard from Vivian yet?" he wondered. I looked back at Spencer "You don't owe me answers. But she does." he handed over a slip of paper then left.

"This is it." I whispered and opened it.
