Spencer’s heart stopped "A priceless Van Gogh is in your closet?"

Aria’s eyes filled with tears "The article says the authorities couldn’t find the painting when they searched Olaf’s house Ali one there, chopped up Olaf--the article says blood was all over the floor--moved his body soht it back here"

Hanna frowned "I’m not sure if Ali could have done all that How could she have gotten a passport? And Olaf was over six feet It’s like the Ian thing--Ali couldn’t have been strong enough to strangle hied "Maybe her helper did it, then It doesn’t change the fact that Tea And now, one well-placed call from A, and I’ll have a SWAT team on my lawn"

"Whoa," Emily whispered

"Maybe you should turn the painting in anony a piece of hair around and around her finger nervously

Spencer’s eyes widened "Art theft is, like, a major criet in serious trouble"

"And now you guys could get in trouble, too," Aria cried "All of you knohat I did now You knohere a stolen painting is" Tears welled in her eyes "You can turn me in if you want I understand"

E to do that"

"We’ll figure this out without any of us getting in trouble, okay?" Spencer added "I just don’t understand how A knehat you did"

"I guess A followed us to Iceland," Hanna concluded

"And followed"There weren’t any other cars even on the road until the police came I suppose A could have come on foot, but--"

"What if A listened in on our call on my end?" Hanna interrupted

Aria pushed a strand of hair out of her face "You think A was staying in our guesthouse?"

Spencer leaned back in the chair and shut her eyes Her head was throbbing, and she felt that saued her many times before How could A be in so ?

Then she opened her eyes "Aria,in your roo tone, because Aria set her mouth in a line "A is not Noel"

"Are you sure?" Spencer threw up her hands "Aria, Noel has been everywhere bad stuff has happened to us Jamaica The cruise Now Iceland Do you really think that’s just a coincidence?"

"Noel was dead-drunk that night," Aria protested, her voice going high

Spencer paced back and forth around the little room "Maybe it was just an act Hanna, do you remember where Noel hen you talked to Aria?"

Hanna shoved her hands in her pockets, the light fro red on her face "Well, he wasn’t in bed when I woke up And I didn’t see him in the hall, which is where I was for most of the conversation He cah He said he was s a joint, but he didn’t smell like weed at all"

Aria’s eyes blazed "Now you’re against ainst you!" Hanna said "But, Aria, it is weird"

Spencer shifted forward in the chair "Ree Noel hen ‘Courtney’ caroup with her He urged you guys to be friends And you caught the out at the Valentine’s Day dance"

Aria slapped her arms to her sides "Ali ambushed him! Noel didn’t want to kiss her She just made it look like he did"

"Are you sure?" Spencer asked "It was that kiss that o with us to the Poconos What if Noel was in on it?"

Aria’sopen "I can’t believe you"

One of the surveillance aze shot to it There was fuzz, but then the ie reappeared The yard was empty A few leaves drifted past the camera, and that was all

Spencer shook her head "I’m sorry, Aria I don’t want it to be Noel, either I just e could rule Noel out for good The article says Olaf was killed at the beginning of January Do you knohere Noel was around then?"
