"You guys, I'm so sorry. I was up late last night prepping for town hall meeting. I turned my phone off." Spencer said to the liars who were in the hotel lounge. Spencer placed her phone on the table showing the text
"Who the hell sent that?"
"Someone who has our new number." Elena said with her arms crossed.
"Like Ali? We all know I am at the top of her suspect list." Aria accused.
"Maybe that's why Sara's hanging around. She might not be able to cut around me but she can still type a text." Emily slapped her arm on her leg.
"So I'm guessing everything she told the judge about Charlotte was a lie." Hanna spoke
"Maybe she came back here to mourn the death of her mentor not her tormentor."
"So we're-we're definitely saying that Sara's the stalker?" Elena rested her arms on the chair
"I'm telling you guys that bitch wasn't Stockholmed."
"Well, the only thing we know for sure is that' she has spent two years helping Charlotte torture us. That's plenty of time to perfect the art of cyber stalking."
"Or it could just be some techie at the phone company with too much time on his hands."
Hanna sighed,"God, I miss New York. I am addicted to Blue Bottle Coffee.One cup and you feel like you can handle anything your boss throws at you."
"You got that right," Elena agreed with Hanna. That coffee had the most caffeine in the world and with one sip Elena felt invincible.
"Staplers, her phone... " Hanna listed the things that her boss threw at her.
"You boss literally throws things at you?" Hanna made a face to Emily's question before picking up her phone.
"Wait. What are you doing?" Elena asked.
"I lied to Lorenzo yesterday and he knows it. I don't have any time to play games."
"Like the techie's really gonna respond." Aria told Hanna seeing that it was a dumb idea.
Hanna held the phone to us to see what was happening,"Okay, the techie's typing."
The phone beeps at the response,"Yes."
"So you're with Dr. Rollins? Ah, sounds peaceful there. Okay, well, give us a call if you need anything. Bye." Emily hung up before telling us what Alison said
"So Alison's at the Rollins' family farm in Eastern Pennsylvania. They're on a dairy tour right now."
"If Ali's really tasting Amish cheese do you think she could be the cyber stalker?" Hanna questioned.
"If is a really big two letter word, Hanna."
"Whoever this person is they think that we know who killed Charlotte and they're sending us these texts because they want us to rat that person out."
"Okay, but we do know who killed her. Don't we?"
"Ezra said he didn't do it."
"Maybe that's what you heard, Aria, but the rest of us' heard Ezra kick us out of his apartment." Elena spoke to Aria
"Guys." Emily said to them before they looked over to the tv. Lorenzo was speaking about the case which caused all of them to jump off the couch and closer to the tv.
"And every member of this police department is taking this case not just seriously but personally. Without going into detail that can harm the investigation I can tell you that we are narrowing down our list of suspects.We're confident we know what the murder weapon was and we will find it. The person who killed Charlotte DiLaurentis will be brought to justice." Elena looked to the side and saw Aria's dad checking in.
"Aria." Elena nudged her
"Oh, what's my dad doing here?"
"Looks like he got a room." Hanna pointed out.
"I didn't know he was seeing anyone."
"Yeah, it's because they're doing it at The Radley." Hanna joked as the elevator doors closed.
All their cell phones started to ring, as they opened up the picture that was sent to them of a golf club.
"It's a 9 iron." Elena pointed out,"You could kill somebody with that."
"Do we really think that's a murder weapon?" Emily asked.
"Does Ezra play golf?" Spencer asked Aria, who looked up at her with scared expression.

Elena headed to see Toby to see how the house was holding up .
She saw that Caleb was there, having a conversation with Toby with a beer in his hand.
"So you're really doing this all by yourself?" Caleb asked Toby
"Elena's been helping."
"Please, I've banged my thumb more times than I've hit the nails. Hey, Caleb." She jogged over to him and gave him a small hug.
"I'm with you, by the way." Caleb said while Elena stood over by Toby, wrapping his arm around her shoulder.
"Really?"
"Yeah, I mean, I can jack a mainframe with a screwdriver, but you give me power tools I am the dumbest guy in the room." Caleb told her.
"When my eyes see a power saw my mind sees a finger with no hands." Elena wiggled her fingers.
"Yeah, and a chainsaw takes me straight to no arms."
"How about a wood chipper?" She asked.
"Fargo!" Elena and Caleb said in unison laughing while Toby didn't understand the reference,"And I see mulch."
"That's because you don't watch TV or go to the movies with me." She patted Toby's chest.
"That's not entirely true. We stream." He said hugging Elena's small figure.
"Yes. It's embarrassing, but we've been binging on "The Tonight Show." Elena admitted to her weird obsession with Fallon
"Why is it embarrassing? Fallon is hilarious."
Elena starts chuckling with Toby as Caleb is completely out of the know.
"What?"
"Yeah, you explain it. I'm kind of embarrassed to even say it."
"I'll see you at Spencer's campaign." Caleb said to Elena
"Yeah, I've heard you've joined the Hastings' campaign. "
"What? You're-you're, you're working for Veronica." Toby said in astounded way.
"I found out couple of days ago."
"Yeah, she is kind of a tough lady to say no to."
"Bye! Bye!" Elena said before kissing Toby and being on her way.

Elena is in an exam room, where an OB/GYN is performing an ultrasound on her.
"How far along are you?"
Elena looks alarmed,"Uh, I'm not really sure how to answer that."
The doctor smiles at her,"Okay. Let's see what we can see."
Elena takes a deep breath as the doctor moves the ultrasound wand over Elena's abdomen. After a moment, she frowns.
"And you're sure you're pregnant?"
Elena immediately looks over at the screen,"Why? What's wrong?"
The doctor hesitantly responds,"Well, I'm not seeing one baby, let alone two."
Elena focus on the screen in hopes of seeing something she didn't,"And you're absolutely sure?"
The doctor gives her a gentle smile,"Twins would be hard to miss. I'm not hearing any heartbeats either."
When the doctor sees how disappointed Elena is, she looks at them sympathetically.
"I'm not hearing any heartbeats, either. I'm sorry if you were informed otherwise. I'll give you some time alone."
Elena just lays there on the chair, looking up at the ceiling. She was relieved but at the same time she wished that it true. Elena hadn't told Toby about the appointment, she didn't even tell him about the pregnancy test.
Elena was probably the most likely to start a family first than the others. She always wanted to settle down and have kids some day, and she couldn't stand the idea that it wasn't today.
A/N: Do you guys like Yvonne? Personally I don't.
