Henry spent many sleepless nights thinking about Emily. During the day, Katrina dragged him out to help her look for her family. It took his mind off of things.
"Come on Henry," Katrina nagged.
It was a hassle to even get him to eat, let alone go do something. Yet Katrina got him out of the house every day without fail.
"I'm coming. I'm coming."
Emma came down the stairs.
"Where are you going today?" She asked.
"Ask Katrina," Henry responded groggily, "She know where we've been, what we know, who we haven't seen, and who we're seeing today."
"We're going to Ariel," Katrina informed Emma, "Since she's a mermaid too, I thought maybe she knew a member of my family."
"Good thinking. I'll see you later."
Henry finished his breakfast painfully slowly, and took his time cleaning up. After what seemed like much longer than it should have been, Katrina and Henry walked to the pier to talk to Ariel.
"The Tille tribe? I wouldn't know them," Ariel said sadly, in response to their inquiry, "My waters are quite far from there. You might go see Rumplestiltskin. If your family has been in town, something of theirs could have ended up in his shop."
The two thanked them and went on their way to Gold's pawn shop.
"Excuse me? ? ?" Katrina called.
"It appears that when I bought that closed sign I was just throwing my money away," came the bored response from the back room.
"I'm sorry sir," Katrina apologized, as Rumple came out from the back, "But I was wondering if you could help me find my family."
"Come on Grandpa," Henry conjoled, "She needs your help."
"Anything you get from me comes with a price."
"No Grandpa," Henry countered, "No deals, no prices. You need to help her. Emily and Belle are in the same situation right now. You are going to help us."
Gold smiled.
"You think I'll help just because? That's a rarity."
"I think you'll help because I'm your grandson, and you promised my father that you would do anything to help my sister and I for as long as you live."
He frowned.
"Are you manipulating me?"
"I'm simply requesting that you help my friend," Henry responded cooly.
"Fine. Feel free to search my entire shop. If you find anything you need just take it, but don't bother me again," Gold snapped, turning and walking into the back room.
"Wow," Katrina marveled, "You can really hold your own."
"What'd you expect? Me to chicken out? Just because I'm upset about Emily, doesn't mean I'm not strong enough to stand up for myself and my friends."
"Sorry," she apologized, "Let's look."
"What are we looking for exactly?" Henry asked.
"Anything that's made of seaweed or shells or other ocean like materials."
"Okay then."
The search began. They scoured the place from top to bottom.
"Nothing. Nothing. Nothing!"
Katrina looked discouraged.
"I had really hoped we would find something," she said.
Henry pulled a pearl bracelet out of a chest.
"What about this?" He asked.
Katrina gasped.
"That's the bracelet I stole from my mother!" She exclaimed.
"All we need to get now is a locator potion," said Henry excitedly, "My mom will have one."
"That's great Henry! Let's go!"
They raced down the street to the mayor's office and Henry opened the door.
"Mom? Are you here?"
"Henry," Regina answered, "I'm here. What do you need?"
"We need a locator potion," Henry explained, "We found a bracelet that belonged to Katrina's mom. We can use a locator potion on it and find her mother. And if that works, hopefully her mom can lead us to the rest of her family!"
"That's great you two," Regina exclaimed, "I can probably have one done by the end of the week."
"Perfect! Thanks mom!"
"I'll call you when it's ready."
"Okay. Thanks mom. See you later."
"Bye honey."
