A/N: Don't forget to review :)
Blue and red lights flashed as Emma stepped on the gas to chase the motorcycle that zipped passed her down the interstate. The rider finally pulled over alongside the road and stayed on their bike as Emma approached.
"Take off the helmet." Emma commanded as she opened her ticket book.
The rider took off their helmet and Emma was stunned to see that the rider was a woman. A very beautiful woman.
"Do you know how fast you were going?" Emma asked the woman as she tried to avoid eye contact.
"I'm guessing over the speed limit." The woman said.
"Driver's license and registration, please." Emma said.
The woman patted her leather jacket then looked up at Emma and smiled, "Must be in my other jacket."
"Yeah I'm sure." Emma said, "Name, birthdate and social."
"Regina Mills. November 8th 1977 and no one has their social security number memorized."
"Wait right here Ms. Mills." Emma said as she walked back to her cruiser and typed the information into her computer.
Emma looked up from her car to see Regina looking back at her. The computer chimed and Emma looked at the screen to see a list of tickets.
"Great." Emma said as she got out of the car and went back over to Regina.
"You have 4 moving violations." Emma told her, "And that's just this month."
"Those are just the ones I managed to get caught on." Regina said to her.
Emma grabbed her radio, "This is Sheriff Swan I'm going to need a tow for a motorcycle on I-4 heading out of town."
"You can't tow my bike." Regina said to her.
Emma tapped the badge on her chest, "This says I can."
"Uh, roger that Sheriff, will be there in 5 minutes." A voice said over the radio.
"I'm going to need you to get off your bike and put your hands behind your back please." Emma said as she took a step back.
"Already whipping out the handcuffs huh?" Regina said as drew the kickstand and got off the bike. She placed her helmet on her seat.
"Turn around." Emma said to her.
Regina stood in front of her and smiled.
Emma stepped up to her, grabbed Regina's arm and turned her around.
"Oh so forceful." Regina said as Emma read Regina her rights and handcuffed her.
"Alright, let's go." Emma said.
"Your place or mine?" Regina asked as Emma led her back to the cruiser.
Emma opened the back door and practically shoved Regina inside before shutting the door.
She got into the front seat and ran the plates on the bike.
"It's not stolen." Regina said from the back seat.
"Like I'm going to take your word for it." Emma said as she waited.
The screen showed that the bike was registered to Regina which meant it wasn't stolen.
Regina smirked when Emma looked at her in the review mirror.
A flatbed tow truck pulled up and parked in front of the motorcycle. A short, gruff looking man with a beard hopped out of the truck.
Emma got out of her car and met him half way.
"Hey Leroy, do me a favor and just take it to impound and I'll fill out the paperwork later." Emma said to him.
"You got it sister." He said.
Emma got back into her car, made a U-turn and headed back to town as Regina sat quietly in the back seat.
Emma parked outside the sheriff's office and got out of the car. She opened the back door, "Let's go."
Regina got out of the car and Emma grabbed her arm and escorted her into the station.
She walked her over to the jail cell, opened the door and gently pushed her inside before slamming the cell door shut and locking it.
"What about my cuffs?" Regina asked.
"Back up to the bars." Emma told her as she pulled out her handcuff key.
Regina dragged a finger across the inside of Emma's wrist as she undid the cuffs.
"Sit down and be quiet." Emma told her.
She turned around and saw her deputy coming into the office.
"David, did Leroy get the bike back to impound?" Emma asked him.
"Yeah I just got the paperwork from him." He said handing it to her.
"Fill it out." She told him, "I'll be back."
She walked out of the office and David sat down at his desk to start on the paperwork.
"She's kind of bossy huh?" Regina said as she leaned against the bars.
"Are you talking to me?" David asked looking up at her.
"I can see why you're just the deputy." Regina said as she went and sat down on the lumpy bed.
When Emma returned David was working at his desk and Regina was sitting on the bed in her jail cell, legs crossed.
"Get comfortable Ms. Mills." Emma told her as she put the brown paper bag she was carrying on her desk, "The judge is gone for the weekend."
"You can't keep me locked up all weekend!" Regina said as she stood up and grabbed the bars.
"I can." Emma told her, "And I will."
She took off her jacket then sat at her desk. "If you're done with the paperwork you can take it to Leroy then head on home." She said to David.
"Okay." He said as he got up. He put his jacket on then headed for the door.
"Uh David?" Emma called after him and he looked at her.
"You might want to take the paperwork with you."
He smiled, "Right."
He grabbed the papers from his desk then headed out the door.
"How do you tolerate working with him?" Regina asked her.
"He gets the job done." Emma said as she opened the bag on her desk, "Eventually."
Emma pulled out a sandwich and an order of fries and set them on her desk. She saw Regina looking over at her.
"You want half?" Emma asked her.
"What kind of sandwich?" Regina asked.
Emma looked at her, "Either you're hungry or not."
Regina nodded her head and Emma grabbed a napkin and half her sandwich.
"Fries too?" Regina asked and Emma dumped some of the fries on her desk and took the rest with her.
She handed the sandwich and fries to Regina then went to sit back down.
After Emma ate she threw her garbage away in the trash then went into another room. Regina could hear her grunting till she came through the door with a fold up bed.
"You're staying here all night?" Regina asked as Emma wheeled the bed near her desk.
"Yep." She said as she unfolded the bed.
"Afraid I'm going to stage a jail break?" Regina asked as she watched Emma go to tall cabinet by the window.
"Not sure what you're capable of." Emma said as she pulled a blanket and pillow from the cabinet then closed the doors.
She put the blanket and pillow on the bed then sat down and started to take her boots off.
"How long have you been sheriff here?" Regina asked as she held onto the bars, her face pressed through the bars.
"Just about 5 years." Emma told her as she stood up and took her holstered gun and badge off her belt put it in her desk drawer before locking it.
"You must not think I'm too much of a threat if you're hiding your gun." Regina said with a nod to Emma's desk.
"I'm trained in hand to hand combat." Emma told her.
Regina grinned.
"Don't even think about it." Emma said.
"Too late." Regina said as she eyed Emma.
Emma rolled her eyes and sat behind her desk.
"Aren't you glad I was your last catch of the day?" Regina asked her.
"Pfft." Emma pursed her lips and waved her off, "What are you doing in Storybrooke anyways? Your record says you're from New York."
"I like open coastal roads." Regina said with a shrug, "Besides this isn't my first visit to Storybrooke."
Emma arched an eyebrow, "Really? I've never seen you before."
"That's probably because you've never caught me speeding before." Regina said smiling.
"Could be." Emma said, "I'm sure I'd remember you if I had."
"I'm quite memorable." Regina told her with a grin.
Emma got up and went over to the cell, "Sweet talk and flirting will not get you an early release Ms. Mills."
"Oh no Sheriff, I look forward to spending the weekend with you." Regina said as she sat down on her bed and looked up at her with a smile.
Emma turned around without a response and went back to her desk. She started to type on her keyboard as she squinted at her computer screen.
"I'm bored." Regina whined as she got up and pressed her face between the bars.
Emma looked up at her, "I can't help that." She then went back to squinting at her computer screen.
After her 8th correction on a report she sighed, opened the top drawer of her desk and put on dark rimmed glasses.
Regina let out wolf whistle, "Now we're talking."
"Oh shut up." Emma said then looked back at her screen, a small smirk on her face.
Regina looked around the office and spotted a deck of cards on David's desk.
"Hey, let's play some cards." She suggested.
"I'm trying to work." Emma said as her keyboard clicked and clacked.
"Take a break." Regina said, "Come play with me."
Emma looked at her computer screen then back at Regina who was smiling. She sighed and turned off the monitor before she got up and went over to the cupboard. She pulled out a small TV dinner tray and set it up outside of Regina's cell. She dragged her chair over then grabbed the deck of cards and sat down.
She held the deck out to Regina, "You shuffle."
Regina slid the cards out of their box and shuffled them, "The game is strip poker and jokers are wild!"
"Wait, what?" Emma asked as Regina started to deal, "No!"
Regina let out a husky laugh, "Relax Sheriff Goodbody."
Regina finished dealing the cards, "Texas Hold'em."
The women sat playing cards and from what Emma could tell this wasn't the first time Regina hustled someone at cards.
"How the hell do you keep winning?" Emma asked as she tossed her losing hand on the table.
"Lady Luck likes me better than you." Regina said as she scooped up the pile of cards.
Regina looked around in her cell, "So would now be a bad time to tell you I had 2 Big Gulps on my costal journey and they are starting to weigh heavily on me?"
"Huh?" Emma asked looking confused.
"Did you and Deputy Dumb-Dumb switch brains?" Regina teased, "That was my subtle way of telling you I have to pee."
"Right." Emma said standing up and moving the tray out of the way. She pulled out her handcuffs, "Step up."
"Aw, where's the trust?" Regina asked as she held out her wrists, "And to think I was going to let you win the next few hands of Hold'em."
She scoffed as she cuffed Regina then opened the cell door, "Bathroom is this way."
Emma opened the door for her and Regina walked passed her and said, "Such a gentleman."
Emma leaned back against the door, "The window is nailed shut so don't even think about it."
"Do you know how hard it is to pull down tight leather pants?" Regina called out, "And now you've added a whole new degree of difficulty with the cuffs."
Emma heard clattering, an OOF and a grumbled Son of a bitch.
"Okay, I'm coming in." Emma said as she opened the door. She looked around and saw that the trash can was tipped over, everything that was on the sink was now scattered on the floor and there stood Regina in the middle of it all, her pants unbutton and half way down her ass.
"Jesus, you're like a tornado." Emma said as she went to Regina and uncuffed her.
"A sexy tornado though right?" Regina said as she wiggled her eyebrows at Emma.
Emma rolled her eyes. "Just go pee." She said as she walked out of the bathroom and shut the door behind her.
After a few minutes Regina came out of the bathroom and Emma walked her back over and into her cell.
They sat playing cards for another hour before Emma got tired of losing. She got up and put the card table away and returned the deck to David's desk before grabbing her chair to take back to her desk.
"You know I could really go for something sweet." Regina said and Emma gave her a look.
"Hey, that's not me flirting." Regina said hands up, "I'm talking about maybe a donut or something, just anything sweet."
"A donut?" Emma asked squinting her eyes, "Is that supposed to be a cop joke? You gonna start craving bacon too?"
Regina laughed, "My, you're touchy."
She got up and walked over to the bars, "It could be a candy bar for all I care."
Emma opened the second drawer of her desk, grabbed something then got up and walked over to Regina, "Here." She said and held out a candy bar.
"Butterfinger huh?" Regina said with a smile as she took the candy bar, "That speaks volumes."
Emma snatched the candy bar back from her, "Stop making everything sexual."
"What'd I say?" Regina asked, "Maybe you should get your mind out of my pants-I mean gutter."
Emma let out of frustrated sigh, "That's it, you're not getting this now."
She turned and started to walk away.
"Wait." Regina said, face pressed between the bars, an arm reaching out, "I'll be good I promise."
"I don't think you're capable of good." Emma told her as she stood with her arms folded across her chest.
"For a candy bar I'll do my best." Regina said giving her the biggest smile.
Emma eyed her, then gave in and handed her the candy bar.
"Thanks." Regina said as she torn into the wrapper, "Do you want half?"
"No, thank you." She said as she sat behind her desk, "Now eat your candy bar because it's lights out soon."
Regina took a bite of the candy bar and looked at the clock, "But it's only 10:32."
"And I like my sleep." Emma told her as she went back to typing on her keyboard.
"How about you and I hit that tavern on Huntsman Road, get a couple of drinks and get to know each other?" Regina suggested.
Emma scoffed as she looked up, "You're in jail for an obscene amount of unpaid tickets and you want me to let you out so we can get drunk together?"
"No one said anything about getting drunk. But I like the way you think." Regina said with a wink.
Emma let out an exasperated breath, "Are you done with your candy bar?"
Regina nodded.
"Good." Emma said as she turned off her computer then got up, "Go to bed now." She said as she turned off the office lights only leaving her desk lamp on.
Emma laid down on her cot and closed her eyes.
"Sheriff?"
"What?" Emma muttered.
"I have to pee again." Regina whispered quietly.
