Emma

The police station seemed to be silent during this time of the day. Emma's job lately had been spiraling around the same little crimes in Storybrooke, dealing with petty arguments and breaking them up or catching one of the dwarves thieving at Granny's from time to time—possibly out of boredom and with these small little crimes Emma or her father had encountered to deal with day by day, the job was starting to seem relentless to her. The boredom sunk in deep and though she knew it was a job—starting off as a job she had loved from the beginning she had considered that maybe it was okay to take some time off as being the Sheriff. These heroes were her friends. They wouldn't do anything extreme towards each other like trying to kill each other, or kidnapping a fellow friend just to start up some fun.

Perhaps there had been one time where the town had fought against each other but that was influenced by magic and a curse brought down on Storyrbrooke not too long ago. Now everything had seemed to quiet down for Emma and her fellow alliances. Today—Emma made it official she was going to spend time with her family and friends. A person who wore the badge needed time off too. They sat at Granny's together taking up two whole booths. There was Henry and Regina with Hook then baby Neal, her little brother, her mother and her father all gathered around eating lunch together for the day.

This felt okay to do and because the morning started off so peaceful with the family first going to the park together then meeting up at Grannys where Regina and Hook waited—it didn't feel as though any source of trouble could really happen. The savior would be wrong to think this and in this case she was extremely wrong and shameful to give herself a break from the office when multiple disturbing phone calls were happening at the closed down station. Messages were left. With what was happening not too far from Granny's—the message would've gathered quicker towards Emma direction by her mother who had worked at the school as a teacher but she was off caring for her child until she had found a suitable babysitter to babysit Neal when she could return back to work. Emma was an option but with work and Regina pushing the savior to understanding that this job wasn't something you could turn the switch off to, Mother Snow had to find someone else. It was a working process and she had some good trusting friends on her list. She didn't want to make another close mistake like she almost did with Zelena—thinking she was a good choice to watch her baby before she knew who Zelena really was.

Emma sipped on her hot cocoa. Hook was next to her feeling and hearing the vibration of her cellphone in her pocket. The two shared an awkward smile before respectfully the pirate was seen leaning one way to help the savior retrieve the device from her pocket. There were five missed calls and it was from the school. Quickly Emma redialed the number to give the person a call back. Her body was standing and politely she influenced for Hook to scoot out of the booth in order to free her from her comfortable cushion. When the phone was heard picked up on the other side she could hear the sounds of a panicking woman but it sound like two women were on the phone at once.

"Okay, calm down please."

Emma lifted a brow making her way outside of Granny's to get a better sound of what was happening on the other line. When she stepped outside—she hadn't expected to see half of the town running away from one side of the street. Black smoke was thickening in the air. Emma's heart raced—whether it was excitement that finally something major was happening with her job or whether it was fear that something was coming back to set it's revenge on Storybrooke—Emma huffed hard on the phone to catch the woman's attention. Her sheriff was showing.

"Hey! This is Sheriff Swan, what's going on?"

The woman on the phone could be heard covering part of the device to make her voice sound clearer.

"It's Mother Fairy. I wanted to report a missing child and Jasmine—I think she blew up part of the shelter. I am worried about her daughter so I thought of the first person to call, Emma, was you."

Emma nodded her head looking back into the diner. David and the others were watching her. It was like they all could tell by her face something was wrong, besides the running people passing her. She motioned for them to come with her hands. Nearly her whole family had followed but Regina—who kept Henry in the diner and Snow who stayed back with Neal. David would tell her what was going on when he was done talking with Emma about the information being retrieved.

When Hook stepped outside and saw the black smoke filling the sky—the pirate released a hard sigh, shoulders dropping and face changing from being observant to unpleasant. "Bloody hell, not again."

David caught that, dropping his eyes to Emma. "Any idea what that is about?"

She nodded and lowered the phone. "Jasmine," she didn't know if she wanted to believe that Jasmine had anything to do with this but she had to take the information regardless. It was something to work off of. "We have a missing child report too, her daughter. I think I want to split up and try to get as much information as we can about this. Dad," she forgot it was best to call him David when they were on the job. "Can you go down to the spot of the fire and try to evacuate as many people as you can. Get a witness report on what exactly happened and then meet me back here. Hook, I will need you to come with me to investigate this missing child. It seems like our break is over."

Hook frowned at that but he knew nothing nice lasted forever.

When Emma went back to talk to the woman on the phone she could hear sirens now.

"Can you tell me where you're located and I will meet you there?"

"Yes, we're at the school."

"Good. Don't leave. I am on my way." And with the closure of the conversation all three of them had split up walking in different directions to carry out the investigation of the day. Emma knew this was deeper than what it looked

Jasmine

It had been a very calm two weeks since Ingrid had vanished and the curse had been broken. Though Aladdin was still missing. She had started to close up the shelter earlier so she can spend half of her day with her daughter whom was now just getting into second grade, at seven years old. With her husband still missing, her daughter became her life. She didn't know what she would do without her daughter. She would probably do something drastic. Though, because Storybrooke was now fairly safe she felt safer with her daughter at school, all day and she could go to work without any fears that something would happen to her only child.

\With the weekend coming, she had planned to take her daughter to the Zoo. It was a very small mini zoo, with very few animals and not many people knew about it, as it was actually a small private zoo. But Jasmine had a very busy day ahead of her and she wouldn't be able to take her that day. She knew she also had to make sure to get all of her appointments that had to keep putting back and apologizing to those that had animals. Looking at the clock, "Aaliyah, come on sweetheart, we got to get you to school." Jasmine yelled up at her daughter. Because Jasmine had a one bedroom apartment, she needed more space. So Katherine or Princess Abagail, let Jasmine and Aladdin buy their home during the curse, David' and Katherine's home. She was so thankful, as Katherine moved in with Fredrick.

Hurrying her daughter onto her bike, as she walked next to her. She helped her daughter lock up her bike and walked her to class giving her a kiss and promised she would be there, after school, even though she would be going to after school care, with other children. Thank goodness for after school activities that Aaliyah had started going to after the curse had broken. It made Jasmine's life much easier since she had no other family. Though Snow White was pretty close bt she was not on the list of emergency calls.

By the end of day for school, she called the after school activity director. Whom made sure that all parents signed out their children to be cautious of who took the children.

"What the hell do you mean, Aaliyah has already been picked up, she has no other family and Snow is not on her emergency contact list at the office at the school!" she yelled over the phone. Mother superior made the phone go away from the ear and pulled the phone back towards her. "I saw you, you signed her out. Now you're saying, you didn't do it. I'm calling the sheriff."

"No don't call the sheriff, she's my daughter. I swear I didn't pick her up." But before Mother Superior could even try to hang up all she heard was a small explosion on the other line. This also made the phone go dead on Layla's side.

Jasmine had dove down protecting another child who had her dog with her, her dog got lose and ran out before they could. The front of the shelter was on fire. Jasmine had absolutely no idea what had just happened, all she knew she had to get people out of the room and make sure her animals were safe outside and not be able to go back in.

"If anyone is here, and can hear me, get out now!" Being a royal had her ups and downs. She was a royal in the town, one of the few actually. People still very much respected her. She wanted to know why Mother Superior would actually accuse her for taking her own daughter, when it wasn't her in the first place.

Jasmine made the small celling that was on the two move. "Come on sweetie; let's get you out of here. Cover your mouth with your hand and don't breath the air as long as you can until we are out. Do you understand?" The child nodded, as Layla picked the child up and found her way out, even though the place was now in ruins.

Layla got the child out, and across the street where people were now staring and pointing. Layla stared at the place, her shelter was gone. She could hear the fire engine sounding coming closer. Did someone plant a small explosive?

Someone wanted her dead. Or did she do it? Were the letters that she had found actually true? She was the daughter of a villain. Were these her powers her father talked about that she might have?

She had gotten mad and made her place explode, it was only the front half but it was still her shelter.

She looked at the people, and ran across the street while some people grabbed her, "Don't go in, you're crazy." One said. "My animals let go." Layla said and was able to get away from the persons hand.

Covering her mouth she went into the shelter, and found her way in the back. She couldn't find the lights, as the lights were also out, so she grabbed her phone and turned on the flashlight. She pressed the button letting the dogs out, and the cats out in their cat condo so they could have fresh air.

"What happened!?" David asked, going to the people across the street. He put on of his hands on a shoulder of one of the customers who had suit on their faces. "Where is Layla, is everyone out?" He asked. They pointed in her, "She is too much of a princess today, not caring for herself."

David saw that the place was still on fire, not listening to the firefighters; he went inside and looked around, seeing a light in the back. "Layla your crazy, get out of here." He said he had his collared shirt over his mouth and noise. "Forget about it! Their fine!" He said.

"They are my responsibility."

David grabbed her and lifted her up bridal style when she started to cough from the smoke that filled the room. Knowing all her animals were out safely into cleaner air, then stuck inside, she touched the button and all the doors closed leaving the animals outside in their small backyards.

He put her on one of the sketchers. "My baby girl, I don't have time to go to the hospital. My baby is missing. David she is all I have." "Where is Aladdin?" he asked. She didn't answer him.
