Mr. Gold Pawnbroker and Antiques Dealer
This shop was the embodiment of everything Killian hated about Stiltskin, He takes - everything that people love, he takes from them.
The captain stood outside the dark window, looking inside. He couldn't see Stiltskin. For a week now, he had been planning how he could get his revenge. He wanted to make sure Stiltskin felt safe before he made his move.

"Loitering again, Captain? I take it your girlfriend isn't inside my store"

Killian looked at Stiltskin with hard eyes but remained silent. The pair stayed, eyes locked, for a moment before Rumplestiltskin pushed past the pirate "As much as I'd like to stay and chat, there's business to be done."

Killian remained motionless until he heard the shop's door close. I could leave now, he thought. But he couldn't do it - he was so close to Stiltskin. This was what he came to Storybrooke to do, he couldn't back out now...

But what about Ariel? He'd made a promise to her...he loved her...

His mind toyed with both arguments. He knew what he had to do.
Pushing open the door, Killian stepped into the antiques store...

It had been a week since Killian's encounter with Rumplestiltskin outside of the library and Ariel had noticed that Killian had become more distant, introverted - cold, even. He became increasingly more...Hook.

He had barely spoken to her and when he did, he seemed to ask about Stiltskin, or Belle, desperate for information about their relationship and though he had promised her that he wouldn't do anything stupid, Killian sometimes had this look in his eye when he thought she couldn't see him. I was as if he were planning something.

Ariel placed the next book on the shelf nearest the window and turned to pick up the next when something outside caught her eye. Across the street she could see Killian stood with Rumplestiltskin outside his store. She watched carefully, holding her breath as there was an exchange before Stiltskin went inside. For a moment she was hopeful, seeing that Killian remained still, but her heart sank when she saw him turn and enter the store.

Ariel didn't know what would happen in there, but whatever it was, she was going to make sure that neither one of them got their revenge.

She pulled out her phone, found the right number and dialed, "David? Hi, it's Ariel. I think we may have a problem"

Rumplestiltskin turned to face the captain in the doorway, "What can I do for you?" he feigned innocence. He knew exactly what Killian wanted.

"Why did you do it?" he spat. It was the first time he had asked him this, but he needed to know why.

"Do what?" Stiltskin saw the pirate's jaw clench in anger. He enjoyed playing with him like this.

"Why did you kill Milah?"

"Oh that," he suppressed a smile as Killian glared at him "The answer to that is very simple - because you took her from me, from our boy. You stole her."

This made Killian seethe with anger, "You speak of her as if she were an object. A trophy to win. Milah had her own mind - she made her own decision when she left with me!"

Stiltskin's demeanor changed, he was no longer as cool as he had been. "She would have never left Bae!"

"We were coming back for Bae!"

"To take him too?"

"It's what Milah wanted"

"You ruined my life!" Stiltskin's voice was sharp.

"Well, I guess that makes us even" Killian's eyes fell on his hook.

"We're not even close" The distance closed between them as Stiltskin stepped toward him, "I'm not going to stop until your whole life has been torn apart. Perhaps I'll start with that girlfriend of yours - Ariel, was it?"

The thought of him hurting Ariel pushed Killian over the edge. He knocked Stiltskin to the floor and plunged his hook into his chest, "You'll never win" he hissed, close to his enemy's face.

"I wouldn't be so sure" Stiltskin's eyes fell on something behind Killian.

He turned and saw what Stiltskin had meant. In the doorway of the antiques store stood the sheriff, gun pointed at Killian. At his side was Ariel, hand clasped over her mouth.

"Hook, you're under arrest"
