The meeting in city hall was over. Almost everyone had left except for Regina, David, Henry, Mary Margaret, Archie and Leroy. Suddenly, the door slammed shut. Everyone looked around. They saw a man and woman. The woman aproached the front of the room while the man stayed behind to guard the door. Mary Margaret gasped when she saw they both had guns. Before anyone could react the woman grabbed Henry and pointed her gun at him.
''Henry!'' Both Regina and David yelled. Regina wanted to use magic but knew she might hurt Henry, she couldn't take that risk.
''Time to do it our way.'' The woman said. The man locked the door.
''I want everyone up here, on the ground.'' The woman ordered. They all obeyed because they didn't want to see Henry get hurt.
The man walked over to Regina.
''Put this around your wrist.'' He ordered. When Regina didn't move the man nodded to the woman and she clicked the safety off her gun.
''Okay okay just don't hurt him.'' Regina gave in and she put on the bracelet. She could feel it blocking her magic and knew she wouldn't be able to get it off.
''What do you want?'' Leroy asked.
''From you? Nothing. You can go if you'd like.'' The man said. Leroy looked confused at him, wondering if this was some sort of trap.
''Let me rephrase that. You have to go.'' He said and he pointed his gun at Leroy. When he didn't move he treid again, ''Get out now!'' He yelled
''While we're at it, you three need to leave too.'' The man said and he now pointed his gun at Mary Margaret, David and Archie.
''What about Henry? And Regina?'' Mary Margaret asked.
''They need to stay with us.'' The woman said.
''No, I'll do anything, just let my son go.'' Regina almost begged. Mary Margaret had never seen fear like this in Regina's eyes.
''Sorry, that's not going to happen.'' The man said. ''Either you leave on your own or I'll shoot you.'' He added.
They slowly rose to their feet and walked to the door. David would never forget the fear in Henry's eyes.
''Now, let's do this.'' David heard the man say before the door closed and was locked behind them again.
''David?'' David heard when he was outside. Emma cam running towards them. ''What is going on?''
''There's a man in there, with a woman. They're keeping Henry and Regina hostage.'' Emma felt a knot in her stomach getting tighter.
''What? Who are they? What do they look like?'' Emma asked, a hint of panic in her voice. David explained who they saw and Emma looked up in shock.
''Tamara.'' She said.
''Who's Tamara?'' David asked.
''Neal's fiancé.''
What is she doing in Storybrooke?''
''I have no idea.'' Emma said. She got her phone.
''What are you going to do?'' Mary Margaret asked her.
''I'm going to find out exactly what her plan is.''
Henry crawled closer to Regina. The man and woman where talking on the otherside of the room, looking over at them every once in a while.
''Mom, I'm scared.'' Henry admitted.
''I won't let them hurt you.'' Regina said as she put her arms around Henry and pulled him closer.
''That's what I'm scared of.'' Henry said and Regina pulled away, looking at him confused.
''I don't want you to get hurt because of me or even worse..'' Henry said, not finishing his sentence.
''Henry look at me.'' Regina started, taking Henry's head between her hands. ''What ever happens to me, it is not your fault, okay?'' she continued.
Before either could reply, a phone went off. The man and woman both aproached Henry and Regina.
''Who's phone is that?'' The man asked. Regina got her phone and gave it to him.
''Who's Emma?'' He asked.
''Emma? As in Emma Swan?'' The woman now asked. When neither replied she pointed her gun at Henry.
''Yes, yes as in Emma Swan.'' Regina said quickly. The woman got the phone and answered.
''Emma Swan.'' She said.
''The reason I'm here does not concern you.''
''Well then, if you'd like to see your son again I suggest you do as I say. Do not come in at any time. Whether your son gets hurt or not, well that's up to Regina. The sooner we start, the sooner we're done.'' She said and put hung up the phone.
''Is everything ready?'' She asked the man.
''Yes, I just need to get set it up in here.'' He said and walked to the other room. When he got back he had a table with straps and a machine.
''Regina, please lay down for me.'' He said as he got his gun as a sign she needed to obey, otherwise Henry would get hurt.
She swallowed. After a while she got up but Henry stopped her.
''Mom.''
''It's going to be okay.'' She said as she let go of his hand and lay down on the table. The man strapped her arms and legs down, She could feel Henry looking at her but she kept staring at the ceiling, she knew once she would look into his eyes, she wouldn't be able to stay strong. She felt the man place something on her fingers and head. She knew what would happen next.
''Henry, look the other way, don't look at me.'' She begged him.
''Mom?''
''Henry please.'' Regina asked and luckly he did as he was told. Regina knew that he would still hear it but she would try her best to keep her screams in. When the machine turned on she got ready for what would come next. He was about to push the button when the phone rang again.
