A BROKEN HOME
Spencer Hastings rubbed her sleep-crusted eyes and put a Kashi waffle in
the toaster. Her family’s kitchen smelled of freshly brewed coffee, pastries,
and lemon-scented household cleaner. The two labradoodles, Rufus and
Beatrice, circled her legs, their tails wagging.

The tiny LCD TV in the corner was tuned to the news. A female
reporter in a blue Burberry barn jacket was standing with the Rosewood
chief of police and a gray-haired man in a black suit. The caption said The
Rosewood Murders.
“My client has been wrongfully accused,” the man in the suit
proclaimed. He was William “Billy” Ford’s publicly appointed lawyer and
it was the first time he’d spoken to the press since Billy’s arrest. “He’s
absolutely innocent. He was framed.”
“Right,” Spencer spat. Her hand shook unsteadily as she poured coffee
into a blue Rosewood Day Prep mug. There was no doubt in Spencer’s
mind that Billy had killed her best friend, Alison DiLaurentis, nearly four
years ago. And now he’d murdered Jenna Cavanaugh, a blind girl in
Spencer’s grade, and probably Ian Thomas—Melissa’s ex-boyfriend, Ali’s
secret crush, and her first accused killer. Cops found a bloody T-shirt that
belonged to Ian in Billy’s car and they were now searching for his body,
though they hadn’t come up with any leads.
Outside, a garbage truck grumbled around the cul-de-sac where Spencer
lived. A split second later, the same exact sound growled through the
speakers of the TV. Spencer walked to the living room and parted the
curtains at the front window. Sure enough, a news van was parked at the
curb. A cameraman swiveled from one person to the other, and another guy
holding a giant microphone braced against the blustery wind. Spencer could
see the reporter’s mouth moving through the window and hear her voice
through the TV speaker.
Across the street, the Cavanaughs’ backyard was wrapped in yellow
police tape. A cop car had been parked in their driveway ever since Jenna’s
murder. Jenna’s guide dog, a burly German shepherd, peered out the bay
window in the living room. He’d remained there day and night for the past
two weeks, as if patiently waiting for Jenna to return.
The police had found Jenna’s limp, lifeless body in a ditch behind her
house. According to reports, Jenna’s parents arrived home on Saturday
evening to an empty house. Mr. and Mrs. Cavanaugh heard frantic and
persistent barks from the back of their property. Jenna’s guide dog was tied
to a tree… but Jenna was gone.
When they released the dog, he sprinted
straight to the hole plumbers had dug a few days ago to repair a burst water
pipe. But there was more inside that hole than the newly fitted pipe. It was
as if the murderer wanted Jenna to be found.
An anonymous tip led the police to Billy Ford. The cops also charged
him with killing Alison DiLaurentis. It made sense—Billy had been a part
of the construction crew installing a gazebo for the DiLaurentises the same
weekend Ali disappeared.
