This choice: "A" forces Toby to give false information to Spencer • Go Back...Chapter #4"A" forces Toby to give false informati... by: crudejenny   Toby still didn't want to concede to the madness that was "A". Who knew one letter could be so problematic. Though he still had accidents Toby didn't give in to the demand of diapers, instead he used underwear liners. They were basically a plastic lining to keep leaks from happening. They didn't work. His boxers were always wet at the end of the day, worse was sometimes his boxers would leak to causing his pants to become wet.
Toby was trying to think of what to do when his phone rang. Cautiously he picked up his phone expecting it to be "A". He was relieved when it was Spencer. "Toby, hey Toby Aria is gonna volunteer at Radley, we're looking for clues about how Bethany Young is connected or isn't to Alison. I just called to you know ask if you wanted me to have Aria look for anything regarding your mother?"
"I don't know Spencer are you sure you want to send your friend to that place I mean you and me both know what type of place it is." Toby said concern that once again the Hastings in Spencer was gonna get her or her friends in trouble. Though he was concerned he knew better than to argue with Spencer to drop it, once she was set on something she was like a man obsessed. It was part of way he liked her so much. He admired her tenacious attitude, he just hoped she would keep it in perspective.
"Sure Spencer that would be great. So is that all?" Toby asked. "Toby uh are you okay?" Spencer asked. "Fine, fine, just a little tired though." He answered. "Well there is something else remember that rain check for oh I don't know the five dinners you canceled on, the last one mind you I cooked, well mostly cooked. My point is, it seems like I'm losing you, like even when we are together you're miles away on some uncharted island." She said.
"I'm sorry Spencer but I promise I'll be there, yes I know you set the reservations, that's why I love you, keep me organized. Alright love you to, yes I'll be there at six." Toby said hanging up the phone. Damn "A'" he thought to himself. Toby was adamant about not missing dinner with Spencer he cancelled a small job he had in a neighboring town.
It was around five when Toby was getting ready for dinner with Spencer. He went to take a shower just as he undressed his phone rang. He fished it out of his jeans that were on a heap of clothes on his bathroom floor, he had meant to clean it up. "Hello, Spencer I'm getting ready what restaurant was it again, ha I kidding. Hey Spencer, hey come on answer me, Spencer hello! Spencer why don't you answer me?" Toby asked panicked.
"I didn't answer cause I'm not Spencer." An obviously altered voice said. "Who is this and how do you have Spencer's phone? If you hurt her in any way I'll swear I'll,"What, you'll what piss yourself." "A" what did you do to Spencer?" Toby asked when he realized he was actually conversing with the "A" and not just some little "A" like him or Mona, but the "A" that led him like a dog on a leash when he wanted answers about his mother.
"Listen "A" where's Spencer?" Toby demanded. "Someone's angry. Relax though Spencer's fine in case you were wondering how I acquired her phone, simple really she dropped it. "Now I need you to tell Spencer that somethings come up." "Stop right there "A' or whoever you are, I'm not gonna cancel on Spencer again! Fuck off!" Toby said.
He was about to hang up when he heard his mothers voice. "That's just a fraction of what I have, I even have recordings of her sessions with her therapist. Listen, Toby was frozen when he heard his mother telling her doctor that she couldn't wait to go home to her son, to hold him, hug him and kiss his goodnight. "A' stopped the recording and told Toby to open his laptop in it he'll find instructions on what to do and another piece of incentive just in case he was thinking anything.
Toby opened his laptop he choked back his tears when he saw a picture of his mother smiling it was dated a day before her supposed suicide. Toby had never seen this picture before. Just as he was thinking of how "A" could have known an email from "A" popped up on his screen. "I was at Radley while your mother was staying there. 'I even have the security footage of the room where your mother supposedly jumped. If you ever want to see it, to see the truth I suggest you tell Spencer you're not coming to dinner.
Toby did as he was told, he had to have that footage, he had to see what really happened to his mother that night. "Spencer hey sorry something has come up, some kind of broken pipe or something, sorry I'll make it up to you." Toby left the message on Spencer's answering machine. According to "A' Spencer was heading home most likely retracing her steps. Before she got home he was to head out the opposite way and head to an abandoned theater.
As instructed Toby took the evidence Spencer took from Noel and just as Spencer was pulling in Toby was already out the back door and heading to the little cinema.  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
