Gold got an update that his son had been taken into custody, he was angry even beyond that he was furious, how his son was taken into custody, he was sure he was learning him well enough how to cover his tracks.
Gold sat at his desk and thought about how he could help get his son out, more accurate about who could help save his son from going to jail.
After an hour Gold got a phone call, "Hello ... who is that?"
"Boss, it's me Mike, I wanted to let you know that the package is in our hands and we're on your way to you, we'll be there in an hour." Gold knew exactly what package he was talking about. "Excellent, when you get here you can put it in our guest room; I want security close to the room."
"What to do if the package tries to run away or fight us, I'm sure I can take her easy, but maybe you have a different idea?"
"Oh no, you will not raise your hand on her, I need her to remain without any marks for Leo, do you understand me?"
"Yes boss so what to do?" Mike asked Gold and waited for an answer.
"Use the duct tape to tie here hands and feet. If she is not quiet you can also gag her mouth. I think it's a great solution until I get there." Gold said and hung up.
He had just gotten the help he needed to get Neal out of jail, his only problem was what he would do about Leo, he could not let him take the girl away now, and he had to find another way to deal with him.
"Smith, come here right away." Gold asked his boy to come into his office and stand in front of him.
"We are executing out the plan as planned, you will organize the boys to move and we will act tonight." He told him and let the guy collect the gang and be ready for action.
…
Emma was devastated; she did not know what to do about Regina's abduction. She must think of a plan of action.
Her idea at the moment was to use Neal and get him to cooperate with them, maybe if he told her who the guys responsible for the robbery, she could at least prevent both cases in one operation.
And then she would be free for Regina's kidnapping. One thing she did not understand, why Regina, what could she help those who took her.
She did not even know who took her; she just hoped she was all right.
Emma was walking in the direction of the interrogation room, she was angry; she had the urge to hit someone or something.
Emma looked at Neal through the glass sitting in the interrogation room cuffed to the table. She went to the door and took a deep breath before she entered the room.
Neal raised his head and watched Emma come into the room and sit down opposite him.
"Who are you?" Neal asked and looked at Emma's face, for a moment he thought he knew the woman in front of him.
"My name is Special Agent Emma Swan and you're going to help me if you want to avoid a long time in jail." Emma said in a threatening, serious voice as she looked at Neal's eyes.
"Emma ... Swan, I know you, we met before, in the past, the distant past I would even say." Neal looked at Emma and smiled at her.
"I would not smile if I were you, your situation is not very bright at the moment, and we have enough evidence to send you to more than 20 years in prison."
"It's okay with me; I have no problem going to jail. I know exactly what I signed up for, it does not scare me." Neal said proudly and sat up a little upright.
"I'm sure your father will not accept the fact that you helped us solve the problem we have, I can only imagine what they will do to a traitor." Emma said to Neal and looked seriously at his face, the only reaction she recognized was fear, and she knew her method worked.
"You cannot do that; I will not help you in any way." Neal said stammering, unsure of what he was saying.
"The only way I see it is that you have 2 options.
The first option is to cooperate with us and tell me about the robbery that is going to take place and in return I will keep my mouth shut and I will not tell anyone you helped us. Or a second option I'll say you helped us prevent the robbery and I'm not sure if you'll be able to get to jail before you die. The choice is yours, I would think really hard about my answer."
Emma sat down comfortably and looked at Neal while she waited for an answer from him. She could see that Neal was thinking about the options she had offered him and hoped he would agree to help her. Emma decided to leave the room and give Neal time to think about her offer, she did not say anything when she went out, she wanted to make Neal think she had decided for him and to press him to give her an answer faster.
She went to the conference room and saw Robin. He seemed busy at work but also in many thoughts.
"Hey, what's up, what are you doing?" Emma asked and sat beside him.
"Hey, I've heard what happened to Regina, I'm trying to see if there's a request for Regina." Emma looked at him not understanding what he meant. Robin laughed and explained
"Maybe someone marked it as a target and if so then who." He said to Emma and continues on working. She understood now what he meant.
"Listen, we've got the shots from Neal's security camera, I think we'd better go through them, I'm sure we'll find the answer there."
"It's a good idea, I'll ask Belle to join us after all she's the expert."
"Yes, thank you Robin, I hope we'll find her on time." Emma said sadly and angrily at the same time.
"You know, we can go and talk to the other guy the Alpha team brought in, his name is John, maybe he can help us locate the gang." Robin offered Emma and waited for her opinion.
"You know what, it's a great idea, I cannot believe we did not think about it before, we do not need Neal's favors to help us, as far as I'm concerned he can rot in jail."
Emma stood up and went to get out of the room but Robin stopped her before leaving and asked her, "What about the security videos from Neal's cameras?"
"I'll ask Belle to get through them and after we're done with the guy we can join her in search of clues." Emma told Robin and walked out the door to the interrogation room to talk to the other guy in custody.
Emma came to the interrogation room and looked out the window at John in the room, he was handcuffed to the table just like Neil but he was much more frightened and insecure.
Emma believed it could help her persuade the guy to help them. She waited a few minutes before she went into the room and sat opposite John.
"Who are you, what am I doing here, I do not understand why they arrested me?" John said to Emma in a frightened voice.
"All you need to know is that I can try to reduce your punishment if you cooperate with us."
"What are you talking about, what did I do? I demand to know why I'm here."
John raised his voice at Emma and tried to frighten her.
"You cannot demand anything, I'll tell you what, I'll offer you exactly the same deal I offered the first guy, you can help us and in return I'll keep my mouth shut for your help or if you do not cooperate with us I'll spread the fact That you helped us and I'm pretty sure you will not be able to get to jail alive."
Emma suggested quickly and impatiently she saw the guy think about her offer, she knew that one of them would take the deal and try to save his life.
Emma waited a few minutes before telling the guy, "Okay, time is up, I need your answer and I need it now."
Emma has run out of patience, she does not have time to play games. She has to catch the gang of thieves and find Regina.
Emma asked Robin to come into the room; they had decided beforehand that they would cooperate with each other to persuade John to help them.
"Robin, please let people know that Mr. John Locke is helping the police find the criminals from Gold's gang." Emma said to Robin and looked at John for a response; he was frightened and looked nervous.
She got up from the chair and was about to go out the door but she stopped because John had asked her to wait.
"No, no, please, wait!" He begged her. She turned to look at him, he nodded, and he agreed to help them. Emma immediately sat opposite him. "Do you agree to help us?" She wanted to make sure it was his intention.
"Yes, I'll help you whatever you want," he said, surrendering.
Emma was happy to hear his answer.
"I want to know what you have to do with the theft at the factory."
"You know about it, how it could be that it has not even happened yet." John said in shock and waited for an answer from Emma, but he did not receive it.
"It does not matter, all you need to know is that we know about the theft, now tell me what I want to know." She said firmly and waited for an answer.
"I am working in the factory, I was supposed to get a phone call for details, when the robbery was supposed to take place and then I let them in." John said, looking at Emma, she looked at his face to see if he was telling the truth, he was telling the truth.
"You belong to Leo's gang, what does Leo get for his help?"
"I do not know all the details but what I understood was that he asked Gold to get him a certain girl in exchange for his help in the factory and he also gave him a tip on a new Air Force plane." John explained to Emma and she tried to figure out whether Regina's abduction was related to the fact that Gold needed to get a certain girl to this guy Leo.
"What does he want from the girl?" She had to know what this bully was doing with the women he was getting or asking for.
"I do not know, I'm not around them most of the time, I'm just helping them here and there." John answered.
"Okay, you're going to get the details for the factory breakout and we'll wait for them." Emma settled with the boy and John agreed to the deal.
Robin went to the safe to take out John's personal effects, and between his belongings was his phone. Emma gave the phone to John and they were waiting for the phone to ring.
After two hours the phone rang and Emma was ready with Robin for action, John answered the phone and put it on speaker. "Hello ... yes it's me, no problem I'll wait for you outside the factory tonight at 11 o'clock, yes whatever you need will wait for you there." John continued to talk to them while Emma wrote down the details and tried to locate the source of the conversation. She wrote on a note to John to ask them if the deal with Gold about getting the girl is done.
"I can only assume that you managed to get the girl Leo has asked for in return for my help," John asked, and immediately answered that the girl was in their hands.
Emma was relieved at least now she could link Regina's abduction to the one who had kidnapped her and the reason for her abduction, not that it quieted her heart that Regina was in the hands of the most frightening head of the mafia.
"When do you pass the girl over to Leo?" John tried to get as much information as possible from the phone call.
"I understand, you do not know when this will happen, okay do not worry, it's not my business anymore." He said to remove the suspicion from him and ended the conversation.
Emma immediately informed the Alpha and Charlie teams to be ready for action. Emma herself was going to be an involved in the arrest; she was going to put an end to it. Then she would be free to look for a way to get Regina back.
