Chapter Two: Invisible Freaking Pirate Ships

By the time that Emma and Charming had parked at the docks, both Belle and Mr. Gold had come and gone. They searched for near two hours, but they couldn't find the Jolly Roger. At one point, Emma got so frustrated that she kicked a rock off the dock. Instead of hitting the water, there was a dull thud as it bounced off air and splashed into the water. Both of them stared at it incredulously.

They shared a look and rolled their eyes. The Jolly Roger was invisible. Of course it was; after all, Cora did come into Storybrooke on it. She would have ensured that it was protected. Emma and Charming circled it slowly, their hands searching for the stairs. Emma's hands brushed over wood, and she straightened, using her feet to find her way up onto the ship. The moment they wre past the shield, they began to search the deck. They were greated by a rather interesting sight; Hook was sitting on a box, his hand holding a hankercheif to his nose, which was bleeding profusely. He smiled when he saw Emma, his voice slightly muffled as he spoke. "Emma! How nice to see you again. As you can see, I'm not very prepaired to have you or your father aboard. If you could come back some other time –"

Emma shook her head as she picked up a length of rope, walking toward Hook. "Killian Jones, you are under aresst for assualt, illegal parking of a pirate ship, attempt at murder-"

"Illegal parking of a pirate ship?" Hook dropped his hand to the hilt of his knife, a confused look aparent in his eyes. Emma sighed and made a wide sweeping gesture with her hands.

"Yes, illegal parking of this freaking pirate ship. You didn't register it." The pirate stared at her for a moment before collapsing into laugther. Both Charming and his daughter took a few cautious steps toward the pirate, Emma brandishing her rope as she tackled him. Charming held Hook down as he began to struggle, and his dayghter quickly tied his hand and hook together, looping the rope around his wrist tightly.

"Ow! Be careful, lass, not all of us are as invincible as you."

"Oh? Did that hurt? I'm sorry. How does it feel now?" She yanked the ends hard, pulling his arms back angriliy. Hook yelped and glarred up at Charming, who was still smiling as his daughter tied the pirate up.

"Good job. You've caught me. I didn't think you were one for rough play, Swan." Charming swung at Hook before Emma had even began to think of a witty response. She felt the pirate get yanked away from her as his head hit the deck. She looked down at the unconcious pirate and lifted her hands slightly. Her father stood up straight and gave an inadiouable huff.

"Great... You realize that we have to carry him now, right?"

Killian's head felt as though it had been sliced straight through with a raiper. A sharp raiper. He sat up and took in his sourroundings with a slight smile. He was in a jail cell at the police station, and he could see Emma arguing with her parents in her office. He lifted his left hand into view and smiled. Emma had taken his hook away. Perfect.

Killian slipped his right hand up his sleevee and removed a thin dagger from it's sheath. He stood up and steadied himself after a brief wobble. He shook his head and walked up to the door of his cell and slipped his hand through, inserting his dagger into the lock. With just a few well placed twists, he broke the lock open. It swung open with a loud creek, but niether Emma nor her parents seemed to notice. He strolled over to her desk and replaced his hook, using his teeth to tie the leather strap on.

Now that he was finally in the station, he could find what he needed. He looked at the computer and sighed. Technology. Great.
