Killian woke up to an empty bed. A candle was lit nearby, but there was no sign of Regina. He stood to change into his clothes for the day when he realized that his pirate clothing was gone. In its place was clothing similar to those the other citizens of Storybrooke wore. He looked around before choosing a pair of black pants and a black v-neck shirt along with a leather jacket. He moved to grab the candle when he noticed something next to it. There was a note and a square block that lit up when he pressed a button. It told him that it was just past 9 am. He looked curiously at the thing for a moment before putting it down to read the note.
Killian,
You looked so peaceful, I couldn't bear to wake you. I had to go before my mother noticed that I was gone. Whatever answer you decide to give my mother, be careful. I don't want you to choose her side because you want to protect me. I will be okay.
As you have probably already noticed, I replaced your pirate's garb with clothing of this world. Perhaps you will find it easier to blend in. I also left a cell phone for you in case I need to contact you. I will teach you how to use it later, but for now just answer my calls by pressing the answer button.
Hopefully, I will see you later tonight.
Be safe,
Regina
The pirate sighed and exchanged the note for the thing Regina called a cell phone. He pressed the button again and studied it when it lit up. He didn't see any answer button. He shrugged and shoved it in his pocket. He hid the note just in case Cora came snooping. He quickly made his way to the deck and looked around the harbor. It was a quiet and peaceful day, although he was sure it wouldn't be for long. He thought about Smee so he decided to find him. He figured that he had a while before Cora came to find him.
Killian rubbed his hands together before heading into the small town that was completely unaware of Cora's plan to take over.
