"It's simple," the wolf snorted at the man speaking. "I'll make you human and you will keep for me..." He paused for dramatic effect, and caused the

wolf to growl. "a sercet." The wolf seemed to consider the offer. "Come now, surely you're tired of being the villan, the monster."

Rumplestiltskin grinned knowing he had the deal. The wolf looked off to the side facing the direction the girl had run screaming toward;

when he tried to guide her out of the woods. Facing the dealmaker, the wolf gave a single nod.

"Then we have a deal," Rumple...Mr Gold grinned.

"Thank you, Mr Gold. See you tomorrow." Graham was already heading to the door

when the pawnbroker spoke up.

"I wonder.."

"Hn?"

"If you had heard howling lately." The sheriff rested his hand on the doorknob and looked back. "No, I haven't." He answered

while giving a weary grin. "Of course." Mr Gold smiled wickedly.
