Rosewood's finest

     "Thank you for taking your time to come in and talk to me, Ms. Drake." Detective Marco Fury addressed. "Of course. It's certainly a strange occurrence to receive a call that something like this happened at my storage facility. The unit you found those barrels...and Spencer Hastings in, is my biggest unit, so I lease it out on rare occasions. It hadn't been leased in a few months, then a couple weeks ago I got a call and a few hours later, a payment for the unit." Marco looked deeply at the woman in front of him, she didn't seem to be lying so far. "Did you meet the person who leased the unit." He asked. "No, everything was done over the phone. I'm still new to the digital payment world but I do know the name of the leaser." "Was it Spencer Hastings?" Marco questioned. Mary shook her head. "No, the person on the phone was a man, and payment came from an Ezra Fitzgerald." Detective Fury sat back in his chair, then said his thanks and left the interrogation room.

     Ezra returned to his apartment and started to unlock the door when someone walked behind him. He turned look, shocked seeing the tall brunette walk to her apartment. He stepped back and addressed her as she pulled out her keys. "How did you get out?" He asked angrily. The brunette faced him with a smirk. "They let me go, there's no evidence on me." She said. "They found you in a storage unit with a dissolving body in a barrel." "I was locked in that unit... and my name isn't on the lease... but you wanna know who's is?" Just then, multiple footsteps came up the stairs. Ezra looked towards the stairs, then back at the brunette, who had dipped into her apartment and shut the door. The two officers and Lieutenant Tanner appeared and approached the former teacher. "Mr. Fitz, you need to come with us."

"Mona what is going on?!" Aria asked frantically as her friend sped down the streets of Rosewood. "This is why I told you to stay away from her." Mona said focused on the road. "What do you mean?... Mona it's fine, we've got her. She's not going to get away with this-" "She already is. Spencer called someone after Tanner interrogated her, some sister in London and told her to call an Aunt Mary. She told Tanner Ezra locked her in the storage unit and you might be helping him. You new pal Spencer just threw you and your ex boy-toy under the bus." Aria took a big sigh. Why didn't she listen to Mona? More importantly, why did she get Ezra involved? Mona parked in the lot of the station. "Aria." She said, looking out the window. Aria followed her friend's eyes to her friend and officer Toby Cavanaugh walking Ezra into the station in handcuffs.

Aria raced out of the car towards her former flame. "Ezra?! What's going on?" He looked at her before walking to the station. She followed and watched as Spencer walked past them out of the station with Ezra looking confused. Aria approached Officer Cavanaugh as he walked out of the interrogation room. "Toby what's happening?" She asked desperately. Toby sighed.

"How could I lease a unit at a storage facility I've never been to?" Ezra asked. "You called and payed electronically, according to the owner of the facility." Ezra sat back and crossed his arms. "Is their last name Hastings?" "I can't disclose that information." "This is bullshit. I followed her to the unit. Don't you have that on the security tapes?" Tanner chuckled. "I'm glad you brought up the tapes." She said as she picked up a remote and pressed play on the tv in the corner of the room.

Ezra watched in horror at the surveillance footage of "him" walking up the unit and bending down to unlock the padlock, then lifting the door and slipping inside. Moments later, Spencer appears and slips under. Time passes before Ezra appears again stumbling out the unit holding his hand before he pulls out his phone. Tanner paused the tv and turned back to the suspect. "What do you say about that?" She asked. Ezra took his frightened eyes off the screen and looked at the Lieutenant, then furrowed his brows in anger. "I say.... That that...is fucking bullshit! It is quite obviously edited, and if you were really 'Rosewood's finest', you would see that in a heartbeat." Tanner blinked calmly, she was not fazed by the man's outburst.

     "Even if it was edited, how do you explain the payment to Mary Drake?" "I have never heard of the name Mary Drake, I never sent money to Mary Drake, I have never been on the phone with Mary Drake." Ezra said sternly. Tanner sat back in her chair. "So maybe you didn't call yourself, maybe someone payed it for you, maybe they referred you to the unit without giving names, but there's something else that's really damning in this case." Ezra shook his head in disbelief. Tanner picked up the remote again and clicked on another video. The still frame showed Spencer sitting in the same seat Ezra sat now. The Lieutenant pressed play.

"The body in the first barrel was identified as Alison Dilaurentis." Tanner waited for a reaction from Spencer. Her face stated stoic as she said, "That's awful. Have you informed her family?" "We've contacted her partner and brother. The other barrel contained an unknown solution that we believe is human flesh. We don't believe the flesh belongs to Ms. Dilaurentis. What I want to know is why you were found in that storage unit with those barrels?" Spencer tilted her head. "I was locked in the unit by Ezra Fitz; I followed him there." "Why did you follow him?" "He has been out to get me since I moved in. I don't know what he knows about me but he knows enough that he thinks he can frame me for whatever he did. He does have a motive after all."

Tanner looked at Spencer intently and leaned forward. "And what is that motive?" Spencer stared deep into Tanner's eyes. Here goes the final piece of her plan. "He wrote a book about Alison."
