Captain Killian Jones, the kindest man you will ever meet, but his story is not a happy one. Killian's father left him when he was nine, along with his older brother Liam. The brother's father was a criminal, and he was on the run, so he left them. The brothers were put in a very bad foster home. Then when Liam was eighteen he took his brother with him and joined the navy. Killian finely felt propose. Then when Killian turned 29 he found someone. Or at least that is what he thought. Killian and his wife moved to New York and they had a daughter. Killian named her Alice after his mother that had died when he was three. However, when Alice was one years old his wife left. Then to make things worse Liam called and told him he was being called back into the navy. Killian had to do the same thing his father did to him. Except he will come back. He will come back. When Alice was six Killian came back from the navy, however, he had lost his hand and sadly Liam. Killian was finally released from the hospital. Even though Killian was damaged inside. He was going to see his daughter and bring her home.
Months have passed, and Alice was starting her first day of school and Killian the first day back at work. "Alice, Alice it's time to wake up now time for your first day of school," Killian said as he knocked on her door with his stump. Sometimes the days are hard for him, but then Alice brightens up his day. His mother would have loved her, and Liam would have loved to see her old now. The last time that Liam saw her was when he went back home for Christmas. "Getting dressed papa," Alice called from inside her room. Killian smiled and went down the stairs to get ready himself. Alice came down with a huge smile on her face. "What's for breakfast Papa?" Alice asked. After they were done eating Killian brought Alice up the stairs to brush her teeth. Then Killian took his medicine, grabbed his bag, and then went out the door.
Killian and Alice were walking down the street to the bus stop because Killian does not have a car. They both sat in silence. Killian stared at Alice. Sure, she seemed happy. I mean she has a big smile on her face. However, Killian knew something was bugging her. He could see it in her eyes. "What's wrong love?" Killian asked as they waited for the bus. Alice looked at him. "Nothing is wrong." She replied as some of her old accent came out. She still had her accent, but it was small. Killian raised an eyebrow at her. Giving in Alice said "I'm nervous to start papa. What if they don't like me? What if there are kids there that say." She paused thinking of a funny voice to use. "oh, look she lived in a foster home for most of her life." Killian could not help but smile. "Alice love. No one will say that, and I thought that too, and I made a lot of friends." Killian said as the bus pulled up.
The bus ride was short even though the Jones family lived several blocks from Alice's school. Killian to was nervous. He had not been at work since before Alice was born. Thoughts went through his mind. Thoughts like what if they did not respect him. They were going to misjudge him for having one hand. "Papa? Papa?" Alice said breaking him out of his thoughts. "Yes, Alice," Killian said shaking his head. "What will school be like?" She asked with hope in her voice that made him think of his mother. That was the only thing that he remembered about her she always had hope. "Well, you will learn a lot," Killian said as they got off the bus. Alice looked at the school. Killian could tell that she was scared. Even though he is just learning about her. "Come on love. We don't want to keep your teacher waiting." He said as he looked down at his watch. We might be early." He continued as he held her hand as they walked up the stairs together.
Killian and Alice walked into the building looking for Alice's classroom. When the principal came up to them. "Hello. Can I help you?" She asked. Killian looked at her. She had black hair which was cut short. She was wearing a white dress and she seemed pretty happy, happy to be at her job looking after
a bunch of kids. "Aye. My daughter and I are looking for her classroom." Killian answered. "And your last name?" She asked as she pulled out her clipboard which had a bluebird on it. "Jones, Alice Jones," Killian said chuckling at the fact that he referenced James Bond. Liam's favorite movie when they were kids. "Yes, your daughter's room is room Six." She said as she pointed down the hall. Killian smiled at her. "Thank you, um?
"Marry-Margaret, but you can call me Snow," Snow said voice still cherry. As Killian and Alice walked down the hall Alice froze. Snow watched as Killian got on his knees to meet her eyes. "It will be fine, love don't worry. This will be fun. I know you're scared of me leaving you again, but I will be right here when school is done. Aye" Killian said as Alice gave him a half smile and a nod. Snow smiled at them but she was curious about this family, this family does not even have a mother involved. Snow hums and then she went back to work. "I will ask Emma later." Snow thought.
Killian and Alice walked into the classroom when Killian saw the teacher. She was the most beautiful person he has ever seen. Alice looked up at her father and smiled. "Hello," Alice said because Killian could not speak. The teacher walked over to them. "Hello, and who might you be?" she asked. "I'm Alice Jones," Alice answered her. Killian shook his head. "And I'm her father. Captain Killian Jones." Killian added after a moment. "Well, it's so good to meet you. I'm excited to finally meet you." The teacher said looking down at Alice, and at that moment. Killian knew it was time, well and he had to get to work. "come on Alice I will show you your cubby." The teacher said, "And I'm Miss Swan." She added. However, Alice did not let go of Killian's hand. "It's ok, love," Killian told her. Alice smiled and let go of his hand, but Killian could still see fear in her eyes. Killian watched as Miss Swan showed Alice around the room. He knew he had to leave, but he could not. Killian stands there as Alice found a pirate weal. He saw the smile on her face. Killian got so lost in watching that he did not see Miss Swan come up to him. "She will be fine," Swan told him. Killian hums as he looked at her. She had blonde hair and emerald green eyes, and how the way it shines in the sunlight of the bright room. "How long?"
"Sorry."
"How long do you get to see her?" Swan asked unaware that he is a single father. "Alice does not have a mother," Killian answered after a few moments. Emma opened her mouth but closed it. "I'm sorry." Swan said quietly. " it's ok. Right," He pulled on his bag that was around his shoulders. "I have to get to work." He waves to Alice who is pretending to be a pirate." Um, Alice." Killian called. "I will see you after school, be good," Killian said as he made his way to the door. Killian stopped when he herd Swan say. "Emma. My name is Emma." Killian gave her a nod and left the room, but as Emma watched him leave she saw Killian only had one hand.
Killian walked down the road. He did not want to take the bus to work. So he decided to walk there. When Killian got to the station he stands there at the bottom of the stairs for a few seconds before he took in a deep breath and climbed up. Killian opened the door to see the place completely different. Everything was new, well except the front desk were tiana always sat. she still sat there to Killian's relief. Tiana has been his friend since he moved here. However, she had not seen him since he went back to the navy. Killian cleared his throat as he walked up to the desk. "Hello, Tiana," Killian said when she looked up at him. "Well, well Killian Jones." She chuckled "How long has it been? Six years."She got off her chair to hug him. "Its good to see you too. It's my first day back at work. Is David still here?" Killian asked as he let her out of the hug. She nodded. "Have a seat I will get him." Killian smiled and sat down.
Emma smiles as she watched Alice play, more kids started to come in and Alice said hi to all, well except for one. The one was a boy his name was Peter. When he walked into the classroom she gave him a look and hid. Emma added a note in her head to keep those two away from each other. "Ok class time to get in the circle." Alice ran over with another girl. Robin, she thinks her name was. "Ok class lets all introduce ourselves. Now I want you to say your name and a little about yourself." Alice was the first to raise her hand. Emma chuckled. "Yes, Alice you can go first." Alice smiled and said. "Hi, I'm Alice Jones. I live with my papa, he's a hero." Alice said proudly. Then the other kids looked at Alice shocked and slightly annoyed. Then they all raced there hand's in the effort of trying to top Alice's answer, well all except Peter who did not want to share about his life. Because why would he. "Is your papa really, a hero Alice?" Robin asked as they walked over to there seats. Alice nodded proudly.
Killian sat patiently waiting for the chief lost in thought about Alice and how her first day is going. He did not see David come up to him with a smile. "Captain Killian Jones it is good to see your face again." He laughed as Killian stand up and gave him a hug as they both laughed. "Its good to have you back Captain, come I want to introduce you to everyone," David said, but David looked down to see why Killian came back so early. He sighed but did not say anything about it. Killian gave him a look that said: "We will talk about it later." David nodded and led Killian to where everyone was working.
Killian was brought into a large room. He could see people working he recognized. Some people but not all. "Everyone can I have your attention." Everyone looked up from there work to look at Killian. "This is Captain Killian Jones. This is his first day back to work in six years. So I want you all to be respectful to him he has been through a lot." David told them they all nodded. While killian went to his desk. Killian was working when David called him into his office. Killian got off his chair and walked over to the door. He knocked with his bad arm. "Come in." David said as Killian entered the room. "you wanted to see me?" Killian asked. "Ah yes, come sit down," David told him. "Captain I have been reading your files here." He layed Killian's old and new files on the table. "And it says here, it says here that you were in service for five years but then you came back. What happened?" David asked. Killian took a long time to answer. "My, My brother died and I lost my hand. It." He lifted up his bad arm. "It got stuck in the engine of the ship. I don't remember what happened really, but when I woke they told me that my brother Liam died in the explosion. He, he was poisoned. How does that even happen!" Killian stood up. "Why does this happen to me!" Killian's voice got louder. David had forgotten the captain's temper. David raised his hand to stop him before he goes overboard. "Sorry, mate," Killian said sitting back down. "That's ok captain. I felt the same way when my twin brother died before I met him." Killian nodded but did not say anything.
They were quiet for a while. David took this time to look at Killian. He could really see how broken this man really was. He looks like he had not slept in a week. He could see an emptiness in his eyes. "What else does it say in that bloody file?" Killian asked startling David. "Yes of course. It also says that you have.."
"That I have PTSD. Aye, that is true, but don't worry, mate I'm fine. "Killian said with a half smile. David returned the smile and stood up. "Well, that's all settled. Let's go meet your new partner." David said as he led Killian out the door.
When they walked out of David's office. A man was standing in front of them. Killian, who is very good at reading people like open books noticed that the man had black-sh blonde hair and piercing green eye's. Killian also noticed when he shook his hand there were rope marks on his hand's. "This man use's a bow." Killian thought. "Captain meet Robin." Killian gave him a polite smile. "Killian will do." Robin returned the smile. "Well, I will let you two get to know each other," David said as he left the two alone. Killian and Robin went to the break room.
It was lunchtime at Alice's school. Alice and Robin giggled as they walked over to sit down and eat. The two new friends kept giggling. Emma's heart melted as she watched them. Then ruling the moment between friend's Peter sat down next to Alice pushing her. "Hey!" Alice said with annoyance in her voice. Sadly she might have her father's temper and she was going to snap at the boy. Emma watched she was not going to interfere yet. However, she was amazed when she saw Robin grab Alice's arm. She held it until Alice looked at her. Robin shook her head and the two friends went over to sit down somewhere else away from Peter. They both started to giggle again. Emma let out a breath that she had been holding in. She made a note in her head to tell Alice's father and Robin's parent about what had happened.
Killian and Robin were eating and getting to know each other. "So you have a daughter?" Robin asked smiling. "Aye her name is Alice, she's six," Killian replied nodding his head. "Do you have any children, mate? Killian asked. Robin nodded. "Yes, I do. I have one daughter she's six and one son he's eleven." Killian smiled as he put his bad arm on the table. Robin did notice how scar it is, but he did not mention it. Robin liked Killian he was kind but broken. Killian took a drink before he told Robin about how smart Alice is and how she is very protective of him, but he did not say why. They laughed and told stories. it all stopped when Robin put their first case file on the table that they were sitting at. "What do we got?" Killian asked as he pulled the file close to him. Killian hums as he reads it. "What does it say, mate?" Robin asked because he has not read it yet either. "it says." He held up the file up to his face. Then he read out loud. "Male, nine years old. Name James T. Hawkins. Last seen Four Days ago." Killian paused and hums. "This boy, this boy lives in the treasure orphanage. This boy has no family to miss him." Killian added with sadness in his voice. Robin hums. Then he looked at killian who was staring at the file. He could see the determination in his new partner's eyes, but he also saw sadness there too with a mix of anger.
Alice was enjoying school, she loves everything about it. Her teacher, Her new friends, everything. Well except for the boy Peter. "Why does he have to be so mean?" Alice asked Robin as they sat playing with the blocks on the floor. Robin shrugged and put a block on there growing tower. "Maybe he's just jealous of you. You know because you have a father and he doesn't." Robin offered. Alice looked at her thinking she is so wise. The two fell quiet as they played. Alice wondered how Her papa was doing at work.
It wasn't long for Robin and Killian to start there first case together. They have decided to visit the orphanage. It was not far from where the station is. So the ride was not long. However, neither of them spoke. Killian took this time to put the words in his head about how he was going to tell him that he has PTSD. This was not going to be easy, not tell your new partner and maybe friend. Robin was thinking about the case that they are working on. "Why would a boy just disappear? Maybe he ran. He is in an orphanage." Robin thought to himself. It wasn't long until they drove up to the building. They both got out and walked up to the door. "I hope we will get answers here," Killian said out loud. Robin nodded. Killian nocked on the door with his stump. He held in the phantom pain, however, Robin saw the look of pain on his face. "Are you ok?" Robin asked as they waited for someone to get to the door. "Aye," Killian said nodding. The door opened a few mins later. "Can I help you." A 13-year-old boy asked. The boy was tall. He had blonde hair and green eyes. He also had his headphones in and he seemed to be annoyed. Killian and Robin pulled out their badges. "Detective Jones And Locksley. At your service. Is your guardian at home lad?" Killian asked. The teen nodded. "Come in, I'll get him." The boy said as Killian and Robin walked in behind him into the home.
When they walked into the home they saw a lot of kids of different ages. They were running around and playing. Killian noticed that the owner of the home was also in the navy just like he was. Killian and Robin stood there quietly as they waited for the ower of the home to come meet them. "Storybroke PD sir," Robin said to the man that walked up to them. The man was older them both of them and he seemed wiser too. "Hello, are you here about my nephew James?" He asked. Killian and Robin looked at him shocked by this information. "Your, your nephew is the boy?" Killian said tripping over his words. The man nodded as Killian took in a breath. "When did you see him last?" Robin asked as Killian collected himself wich. the man noticed but he did not say anything. "I saw him go to bed four days ago. However, I will not be surprised if he ran away looking for his father." Killian looked at him and nodded. "He does that a lot." The man added. However, killian was still breathing hard. When he asked. "When, when did y-you start taking care of, h-him?" Killian asked. Still tripping over his words. James's uncle nodded and said. "Right after his mother died, no one knew about where his father went. So I'm taking care of him. His mother died last month and he is still taking it hard." Robin and Killian nodded. "May we speak with some of the kids?" Killian asked. The man nodded before we went to do something else.
Alice felt happy and somewhat sad when the school day ended. She was sad because the person that picked up Robin was her mom and Alice did not have a mom. Not anymore. To make things worse Her father was not there to pick her up yet. So Alice had to stay with her teacher miss Swan, but that was okay she got to talk to her teacher more. "So Alice are you close with your dad?" Emma asked. Alice who was staring at her beloved plush Cheshire cat that her father gave her when he brought her home after he was cleared by his doctors. "Kind of, I have not seen my papa in years. This is our first year together. Last time I saw him I was one and now, now I," Alice trailed off not knowing what else to say. Emma looked at her. She had no idea. "Do you know when he will come pick you up? What about your mom? If you don't mind me asking." Emma asked. Alice hugged her cat toy with tears in her eyes. then she wiped her eyes and said. "I don't have a mom, my papa said that she left. Right before papa went back to the navy. I was one at the time so I don't remember her." Alice said sadly. Emma nodded she herself knows her story. "I," the six-year-old counted. "I was put in a foster care home until papa came back. That mean boy Peter was in there with me. We were friends, but when I told him that I have a father he, he pushed me and no one did anything. I did not tell papa." She had tears in her eyes and she looked tired.
"So your saying James went to bed, but when you woke up the next morning his bed was made and the window was not closed." Killian was talking to one of the boys. The boy that they met at the door. Killian had learned that the teen's name was Arthur and he was a good friend of James. Killian was writing down everything Arthur was saying. he needs to find this boy, if it's the last thing he'll do. "I don't think he went looking for his idiot father." Killian looks up from his notepad on the desk that he was sitting at.
"Why don't you think that," Killian asked. Arthur looked at him from his bunk, put his pencil down and said. "Before Jim was put in this place." He moved his hands around. "He was being taken care of by a man known as. Oh, what was his name? Oh right, Silver." Killian's blood ran cold and he froze. "What, what did you s-say?" Killian could feel his heart beating fast. "Silver. John Silver. " Killian tried to slow his breathing but it did not work. "Maybe Silver, I don't know took him maybe. To get revenge on Jim." Killian simply nodded. "I know Silver," Killian said quietly. Arthur looked at him shocked. "How do you know him?" Arthur asked. Killian took a breath. "Because before my brother and I were put in foster care we were under the. "Great care." Killian used air quotes with his hand and a very sarcastic voice. "of this man, and thought he was put away for good when they found my brother and I in the basement with no food or water." Arthur was shocked and he felt bad for Killian. However little did they know Robin was standing in the doorway watching them.
Killian got off his chair and turned around, and that is when he saw Robin. "How much of that did you hear?" Killian asked his partner as they walked to the car. They had a lot of information about James so they were headed back to the station. "Sorry I've heard all of it. So young James was kidnapped by the same person that abused you as a child. I'm so sorry but we need to tell David." Robin said as they drove. Killian nodded. A few seconds later and Killian knew that he had to tell Robin. "I have PTSD," Killian said quietly. Robin, of course, herd him but he could not think of anything to say. So he stayed quiet. "Thank you for telling me," Robin said after a long moment. Killian looked at him a nodded. "Right." Killian cleared his throat. "I need to pick up Alice at school." Robin nodded. "Yes you had a long day and its," he checked his watch "Four 'o cook. Let's go tell David about this then he'll probably let you go home." Killian nodded and the two fell silent for a while. "I have an idea." Robin said after a while "Why don't, starting tomorrow your daughter can be picked up by my wife, so she does not have to stay at school for hours waiting for you." Killian thought about this and nodded.
The rest of the car ride was quiet. Killian could not help but feel proud of himself for telling Robin about one of his secrets. When they got to the station. They went straight to David's office. "What did you find out?" David asked as Killian and Robin walked in. "One of the boys said he thinks James was taken by, by…" Killian trailed off. Then he shook his head. "By the man known as Silver." Killian continued. David's eyes grew wide when he realized why Killian trailed off. "The Jones brothers case," David said as Killian nodded. "I thought Silver was arrested after you and your late brother were found in bad conditions?" David said out loud. "I thought that too mate." Killian raised an eyebrow. "How did you know about my history with Silver? The former captain asked. David looked at the files on his desk and said. "I have read all your files remember?" Killian smiled at him. "You can clock out now Captain, it has been a long day and I bet your daughter misses you," David said as Killian nodded at and headed towards the door.
Alice was hugging her toy when Killian came into the room. "Papa." She cried as she ran towards him. Emma's heart melted as father and daughter hugged. "I'm so sorry in late starfish. I'm here now don't worry." Killian moved her hair with his hand. "Can we go home now papa?" Alice asked. Killian smiled and said. "I need to talk to your teacher first, then we can. Aye?"
"Aye." She replied. Killian kissed her on her head and walked over to Emma. "Sorry, I'm late. Tomorrow Alice will be picked up by Robin's mother, not me." Emma looked at him. "Ok. Why were you late today?" She asked. Killian looked at her but said nothing. "You work late. Don't you?" Emma said. Killian nodded. "Aye, and I will not be the one to pick Alice up from school. So when Robin's mother comes to pick her up she will pick Alice up to." Killian said quietly as he looks at Alice who waved at them. "I think that's a good plan. Alice is a wonderful child. I love teaching her. Altho," Emma lowered her voice so Alice can't hear her. "there is a boy that, according to Alice hates her. Alice says the boy was with her in the home that she was in and he pushed her. A long time ago." Emma told him. Killian was heartbroken for his little starfish. "Why did she not tell me this?" Killian asked out loud. Emma nodded and thought for a moment. "Maybe she was thinking about how you feel and not herself. You, captain, have a good daughter right there." Killian smiled. "Thank you. Alice lets head home. I would love to hear about your first day of school." Killian said as he and Alice left the room. With Emma smiling at them.
Killian and Alice walked home hand in hand. Alice was telling him all about how amazing school was. Her face was bright as a candle. It was the first time Killian saw her happy, really happy. "Is Robin your friend?" Killian asked as they walked in front of their apartment. Alice chuckled "Yes papa. She's nice." Alice said as she ran into the building. Killian smiled and walked in after her. When they got into the apartment Alice ran state to the tv and turned it on. Killian smiled at her and sat at the kitchen table. He layed his part of the case file down and read it over. "It bloody well be Silver. Why did it have to be Silver? I will find you, James, I will find you." Killian thought to himself as he watched Alice watch tv and laugh.
Later after Killian and Alice ate and they watched a little tv together. Killian put Alice to sleep with a story. Alice loves his story's, but her favorite was if Killian was a good Captain Hook and she was his little first mate. She loved that. Killian closed her door after saying goodnight. Then he went down the stairs and sat down at the table again making a noise. He looked over his notes again trying to find something. He rubbed his hand over his face sighing. Then he heard a knock on the door. Killian raised an eyebrow and walked over to the door. "Captain? Can I come in?" It was Robin how does he know where I live? That does not matter right now. Killian thought as he opened the door. "Robin? What are you doing here so late? And how did you know where I live?" Killian asked as Robin walks into Killian's apartment. Robin just smiled at him. "David told me. Anyway, I found something that might help this case." Robin held up a backpack as Killian's eyes grew wide as he takes it from him. "Is this, is this James's?" Killian nodded. "It might be a lead." Killian's smile grew wide. "This is bloody brilliant mate. Where did you find this?" Killian asked keeping his voice low because Alice was asleep. "It was by the station. I was walking to my car when I saw it." Robin told him.
"This is good mate, we can tell David tomorrow," Killian said with a smile. Robin smiled back. "Right, I have to get home. I will see you tomorrow." He said as he starts to walk towards the door, but then he stopped. "why don't you hang on to this. See what you can find." He said as he gave him the backpack and left closing the door behind him.
Killian was up for several hours looking through the backpack. He has'it found anything that might help. Intill he found a note. It was neatly folded and it has his name on it. Which made Killian's eyebrow shot up fast. David would probably tell him not to read it but he's going to anyway. Killian unfolded the note and read
"Dear Captain,
You're a captain now that's nice. Anyway if your reading this that means that you found the boy's backpack, which I put there so your new partner could find it. If you want to see the boy again you come to me alone, then I'll let the boy go free, but you must stay with me. You saw this one coming, Little Jones.
-Silver.
PS
Your daughter will truly miss you." Killian's jaw tightened as he picked up the backpack and threw it across the room. Then he walked up to his room leaving the flies on the table but he brought the note with him to bed.
Killian could not sleep, how was he going to tell this to Alice, heck how was he going to tell David or Robin. This was about him, Silver wanted him. Of course, he did he was the one who called the cops when he found a phone in that basement and called for help. "Liam where are you? I need you. Father, please come back. What did I do to make you leave?" Killian thought making himself cry. Then he heard Alice scream. Killian got out of his bed and ran into her room. "Are you alright starfish?" Killian asked walking over to her bed after he turned on the light because he hated the dark too. "Papa." She sniffed as she hugged her cat toy. "Was it a nightmare?" He asked as he sat down on her bed. She nodded sniffing again. Then she hugged her cat with the twisted face. "Do you want to talk about it?" Alice thought for a moment. Then she said. "Mother came back, then, then she took me away from you and, and I never saw you again," she cried. Killian wrapped her in her arms and sang to her.
Alice finally fell asleep, and Killian decided to go to sleep himself. However, he woke up with a start at five in the morning. Killian decided to get ready early. So, quietly he walked into the bathroom without waking Alice. Killian brushed his teeth and went back into his room. Then when he was done getting dressed he grabbed the note, fiddled with it, and put it into his jacket pocket. Killian then walked slowly down the stairs with nerves in his stomach. Also, he was lost in thought. He sat down at the table, so lost in thought as he stared at the note. When he turned it over, however, he saw more writing. Killian's hand shook when he picked it up. He reads it quietly
"Captain,
If you don't come to me by the end of the week. I will kill the boy. Also, I will come after your daughter. What's her name? Oh, Alice. So come to me, or you will never see your daughter or this boy. little Jones. The address is, 27465 Hook street. Come now or else.
-Silver." Killian could feel tears in his eyes as he puts the note down and looks at the clock. It was around five fifty in the morning. Then he shook his head and thought. "Get a grip Jones you'll figure this out." Killian took a deep breath and put the note back in his pocket.
Later that morning Alice woke up. She seemed a lot happier than yesterday. "Good morning papa." She said with a big smile on her face. "Good morning Alice," Killian said voice a little unsteady. Alice looked at him concerned. "Are you ok papa?" She asked as she walks over to the table where her breakfast sat that Killian made a few mins ago. "Of course. Why do you ask?" Killian asked forcing a smile. Alice raised an eyebrow then she shrugged and sat down, and ate quietly.
"Papa are you worried about work?" Alice asked suddenly. Breaking the silence that the two were in. Killian looked up from the files on the table to look at her. Killian did not want to lie to her. So, not telling her the whole truth. He said. "Aye, there's a boy missing, and me and your friend Robin's father is helping," Killian told her. Alice smiled at him. Then she ran up the stairs to get her backpack. Killian smiled, but his smile faded when the thought of never seeing her again came into his mind. He was so lost in that thought that he did not hear Alice call him. "Papa, Papa are you ready to go?" Alice asked. Killian hums. Then he nodded and stood up. Alice watched him as he grabbed his bag and the backpack. Then they both left. Unfortunately for Killian, he had forgotten to take his medicine before they left.
Killian and Alice were walking down the road. Alice was telling him about the second dream that she had. Killian, however, was not listening for his thoughts were like the sea and it was in a hurricane. Killian got so lost in his sea of thoughts that he did not realize that they were at Alice's school. "Papa?" She was pulling on his arm. Killian shook his head trying to get rid of his sea of thought but it did not work. Killian looked at Alice. "Right, Sorry love lets go in then," Killian said as he walked up the stares. Alice looked at him concerned then she shrugged and followed him inside. Killian got so lost in his thoughts again. That, when they got into Alice's classroom he did not let go of her hand. "Papa? Papa." She cried as she pulled on his hand for him to let go while Emma and weirdly were watching. Killian let go of her hand. "Sorry, love I'm not thinking today," Killian said shaking his troubled, and storming mind. "It's ok Papa. I know you're worried about finding that kid. I know you will find him." Alice said before she ran over to the pirate weel to play pirate. Killian was about to leave when he heard Emma say. "Hey, are you ok. You seem more lost then yesterday?" Killian's hand was on the doorknob when he turned around and said. "Aye," then he left without Emma asking anything else.
Killian walked to work. He felt like his thoughts were drowning him and his brain was going to explode with thoughts and theories. Killian walked very slowly to work because he was trying to get his brain back together but it was not working. Killian walked up to the station. He climbed the stairs without thinking about walking or anything else. When Killian walked in, however, he did not say hello to Tiana. Even when she said hello back. "Killian?" She waved at him, but Killian could not see her. When he saw David. He gave him the backpack without the note. Then without saying anything he walked away and sat down at his desk. David stared at the backpack with a worried looked on his face.
Robin was called into David's office a few mins later. "You wanted to see me, sir?" Robin asked as he shut the door behind him. David looked at him concerned. "Is everything Aright?" Robin asked as he sat down. Robin looked at the door where David was looking. "Did you see the Captain today?" David asked looking at the door again. Robin shook his head no. David sighed. "Well, he gave me this. I'm guessing it belonged to James." Robin looked at the bag. "Yes, I told him to see what he can find last night." Robin looked at David with a worried look. Then it hit both of them. "Killian found something, and he's not telling us,"
"But the real question is what did he find?" David added. Both of them looked at the door nervously.
Killian saw Robin go into David's office, but he did not care for his mind was still bouncing around in his head. "I have to do it. You have to do it, Jones," Killian thought to himself. "I'm sorry Alice." He thought Then he stood up, put the note that he had found in the backpack on his desk, and left without anyone seeing him.
