David was nervously tapping his fingers on his desk when Emma stumbled in the room. She hanged her red leather vest on the hook on the wall and jumped on the chair in the corner.
David didn't pay any attention to Emma and kept frowning at the pile of papers on the desk.
"Hello? Ground control to prince Charming ?"
"Oh hello Emma." He didn't even look at her and kept reading the documents.
"Soooo... What's the problem ?"
"Oh yeah. The problem. Emma I don't understand any of it. I've been looking at this over and over again and I don't have one clue."
"Could you please explain what the hell's going on, I'm sure we can do something."
"Okay, okay. Several little girls have been missing and they can't have crossed the town lines because they are guarded. No monkeys around or an evil green witch. I have no idea why or who did it but we have gotten a lot of complains by concerned citizens, like Jefferson."
"Jefferson?"
"Yeah, Grace was the first one who went missing. Jefferson really cares about her. Have got any idea?"
"Wow, that's...-She sighed deeply, I would have no idea what to do if Henry suddenly went missing like that- Look, David, have you got any other information ?"
"Well, the barn shed is packed with ice and snow. I went to inspect it but only found this." David showed several pieces of a vase. An old vase.
"You have to be kidding me..." Emma picked up one of the pieces out of David's hands and looked at it closely.
This vase. Back in the Enchanted Forest.. It can't be.
"David.. I.. I have to go, I'll call you later I just really.. - sigh - I can't believe it"
"Emma! Wait what-" was the last thing she heard when she rushed out the door.
"Welcome to the morning-show with-"
"And our next winner is...-"
"Ill get you for this, Pan, if it's the last thing I do!"
Killian frowned. Pan?
Could these ridiculous 'TV-programs' get any more imbecilic ?
He got closer to the TV to look at what was actually happening. In the left corner of the television he could see "Peter Pan".
He suddenly remembered the talk with Emma back in Neverland. How every person of his realm had his own.. how did she call it .. 'movie'?
He turned off the magic box when he got enough of the scornful image of him.
He was about to head back to Granny's to get a beer when he heard a piercing knocking on the door.
"Hook, I know you're in there! Let me in."
Swan.
He unlocked the door and leaned against the door frame. He looked at her from head to toe.
She was looking gorgeous, like always.
"Looks like the roles have switched here haven't they, Swan? Hope you're also in this for the long haul."
He smirked as he putted Emma's hair behind her ears. She sighed.
"Look, Hook, enough with the flirting. Can I please come in?"
"Back to Hook, are we? Yesterday evening I was still Killian.."
He tried to make her laugh but she nervously waited for an answer to her question.
"With pleasure."
He opened his left arm to let Emma in and checked her out once more. She was gorgeous.
Emma stopped in the middle of the room and turned around to Killian
"Why did you do it?"
"Do what, m'lady?"
"Come on, like you have no idea. First you try to flatter me with your text messages and being all citizen of Storybrooke with your 'I'm Killian and i'm staying in the Inn like a normal person' and then you unleash hell on earth?"
"First of all: Where should I sleep, because I don't remember seeing my boat around here because I traded it for your presence here."
Killian's expression changed when he said that. He was angry, no, more like disappointed. Disappointed that she, his Emma, thought that he was the bad guy. A villain.
"And second of all: what in heaven's sake are you talking about?"
"The vase! You brought something or someone back home, and it is kidnapping children."
Killian stroked his chin with his hands. He tried to remember a vase but he couldn- Oh no. He did didn't he? Unleash hell on earth?
"Bloody hell."
"Yeah, it is."
They both sat down. Killian facing Emma who was sitting on the bed while he took a seat in the armchair besides the television.
"Look Emma, I didn't do this on purpose. There must be another witch or something like that."
"I'm sorry, Killian, I knew it wasn't you. I just hoped for some peace after we all defeated Zelena. I thought it was over."
"I know these are none of my concerns, Swan, but why do you take it all on yourself. It's not your fault."
"I was the one who went towards the time portal. Without me all of this wouldn't have happened and than Regina was still happy. Without me the curse would've never ended and Neal and Graham would still be alive."
Killian sighed and sat down slowly next to Emma. He stroke his hand gently over Emma's shoulder and she dropped her head on his chest. She heard his heart pounding. Did it always pound this fast?
Killian smelled Emma's hair and said very calm and quiet "It's going to be allright Swan."
He felt a tear dropping on his chest and held her closer. He had never seen Emma this upset. Emma putted a hand on his chest to free herself from his tight grip.
She wiped her tears away with her hand and looked up at him with a sad smile.
"I'm sorry.. We should.."
"Go on.." Killian smirked widely but stopped immediately. Not a perfect timing, Jones.
"..go check out the barn. Maybe we find a trace."
"We, m'lady?"
"Yes, you're coming with me, Killian. I don't want you swashbuckling around Storybrooke."
"If the lady insists."
Killian stood up and opened the front door for Emma as she walked outside, rolling her eyes.
When he closed the door he took a final look at her, and smiled as she continued to walk to her car.
She was more then gorgeous. Almost.. perfect.
