Neal walked down the block fuming and utterly confused as he glanced across the street. He spotted August through a library window. He crossed the street with purpose. With Anger. With Emma, Henry and the stolen money on his mind.
Neal threw the library doors open startling Belle as she helped the kindergarten children at story time. August looked up from his conversation to see Neal stalking towards him at a fast paced.
Before he could get a word out August hit the floor fast and hard. The hard punch had blindsided August. Before Neal could utter a word, he was startled by the man August was conversing with leaning down to look at August and say "Dearie it seems I'm not the only to find your mere present distasteful." Neal eyes never left the man. The shock, hurt and anger radiating from him.
Neal's fight or flight instinct kicking in. Not sure which one he would do. As August began to stand, Neal whipped around to look at him. August looked between Gold and Neal then promptly hit the ground again after Neal's second punch. Neal points at August too fuming to get the words out and then storms right back out the door as Mr. Gold checks to see if Belle was ok, not caring for August and oblivious to Neal.
