Back in America...

"How much longer until we get there, Tezoth? I'm afraid that my 'temporary' bravery your niece provided can only prevent my fear of heights for so long."

Tezoth turned his head around, his dragon wings still flapping them to their destination. "You needn't worry, Fayde. You'll be back on solid ground - soon enough."

"Hey, that makes me realize something," Rose scoots along Tezoth's back to the Irish girl. "How can you be a spirit if you're terrified of heights?"

Fayde sighs. "It's just something I've always been afraid of for a reason even I don't know about. Regardless, have you ever seen Banshees' fly?"

Rose shakes her head.

"Didn't think so. There's a reason we only float a few feet above the ground, like most ghosts do."

Harmony butts in. "Oh, oh, but I can fly!" She smiles with the most flashy grin.

"Yes, we can see that, Harm." Rose chuckles.

Tezoth turns his head again. "Sorry to interrupt your sudden conversation, ladies, but we're almost there. Harmony, you can go back to your friends' apartment now."

"Do I have to?"

"Yes, as you were the one who said your friend may be worried about you."

"Oh, right. Hazel does have a habit of doing just that. Fine, I guess I'll see you three and Grandma Snow and Grandpa Bigby later!"

Harmony waves. "Buh-bye Aunty Rose, Uncle Tez, and Fayde! Good luck with whatever it is you're going to do!"

They wave back, looking down while Harmony disappears in her descent through the clouds.

"I like her. She reminds me of well, me."

"I could say something, but I had enough being me for one night. It's probably best I stay quiet for now."

"Something the matter?"

Rose Red ignored her question, while Tezoth asked Fayde one in return. "So, you were going to tell us something?"

Fayde sighed. "Yes, actually. The reason why I went to the strip club you two chased me down to earlier was to find out clues about Holly's sister, Lily. You guys knew her before, I'm assuming?"

"Know her personally? Not at all, if you don't mind me saying. She didn't have much friends."

"Regardless, this is something you'll have to discuss with Snow White."

"Snow White?" Fayde was puzzled. "You mean, the one who-"

"Yeah, my sister who approves people to be official Fabletown citizens, such as yourself. She's also the one who told us -well, him- to track you down and question you. For whatever reason, I have no idea about. And, to make things clear, I'm mainly along for the ride."

Tezoth included. "Rose, you weren't supposed to tell her about the questioning."

"Quiet Tez, I'm not in the mood. Be grateful I was here."

Nodding, he couldn't argue with her considering all the things she had done for him today. Tezoth then continued to speak to the Irish girl further. "Anyway, as Rose mentioned, we're supposed to take you in for questioning. It's to be regarding Holly's sister you've surprisingly also mentioned a few minutes ago."

"Ah, it's starting to make sense now."

"Same here." Rose included. "Speaking of which, we're almost there I think."

"And that is where you are right, Rose Bud. Got to make the landing in the usual spot."

"Usual spot?" Fayde questioned, wondering which spot it was.

The two looked at each other. "We'll tell you after my Tez lands."

The dragon swoops down to a large empty space under a towering bridge. Flapping his wings, he makes sure to provide a safe landing for his two 'passengers'. He lowers his stance so they could jump down safely. Rose pulls out a potion from her pants pocket, popping its cap off in the process.

"Here you go, Tezzy." She held the bottle near his jawline. "Another one of the witch potions needed to make you - you know."

He opens his mouth to drink, gulping every last sip dropped from the small bottle Rose poured in. "Thank you, Rose."

Due to the potion: it was yet again another magical transformation of the dragon turning into a 'normal-sized' Fable. And while Fayde hadn't seen him turn into a dragon herself, she had the privilege of seeing him Glamour back into a human. Fayde couldn't help but grin sheepishly as soon as he covered himself, grabbing his clothes to which Rose dispensed, and scurried off behind a random corner to change - since he was naked after all.

"That's better." Tezoth cracks his neck. "Been a while since I had turned. Actually felt good to fly again."

"Well? The bridge?" Fayde put her hands on her hips, eagerly awaiting for an answer from either one of them.

Tez answered. "This is the Buckingham Bridge - the place where the funeral took place for your friends' sister, Lily."

"Was it a good funeral at least? Please tell me her friends respected it for what it was worth."

Tez walked, Rose too. "It was for the most part, Fayde, and they did. And about the body..."

"I already know about 'the body'. Holly made it perfectly clear to me that she was dumped down that well of yours."

"She told you?" Rose asked.

"Not exactly. I figured it out on my own just by looking at her expressions - back when she took me to the basement of the so-called Woodlands to show me Lily's little shrine among the well."

Tezoth sighed. "We're sorry you had to see that, Fayde. Setting up that shrine wasn't easy for some. Now, to find ourselves a car..."

Rose walked over and whispered to her boyfriend. "Careful Tez, even though she's somewhat trustworthy, there's absolutely no need to make a bad impression of you stealing a car in front of her."

He looked over at Fayde and whispered back. "You're right. If that's going to be the case, we need to walk further toward one of the main roads and hail a cab."

Then, a car from around a street corner pulled up beside the two.

The woman looked at Rose and Tezoth from inside. Knowing that the three was curious as to who was behind the dark-tinted glass, she rolled down the passenger side window.

"Of course I would see the two of you huddling together near the side of an empty street - but never mind that."

"Sis? How come you're here?" Rose was surprised.

"A few reasons, Rose." Snow flashed a smile. "Anyway, it doesn't matter. Get in."

Tez shrugged and complied. "Whatever your sister says, let's go." He opens the door to the front passenger seat.

Snow puts her hand on the seat. "You're sitting in the back with my sister, Tezoth - as this seat is 'reserved' for a Miss Fayde Everwind."

He looks at her, then Fayde. "Ah, I see, very well." Tez joins Rose in the back seat, to which she was surprisingly already in.

Fayde walks over and bends down to look at Snow. "For me, Miss White? Why?"

"A number of things. I simply cannot stress you for you sitting in this seat -or this car in general- any further."

"What if I refuse?" Fayde started to grow bold.

"I'll revoke you of your citizenship I gave you if you dare take such a path. So I ask once again, get in."

Fayde glared at Snow. This was her first time experiencing the coldness that wasn't expecting from a lady such as her, considering how nice she was when she interviewed her earlier in the day.

Fayde pondered about more about her decision. "Fine, I'll bite." She sat down and closed the door.

Snow nodded. "Good choice."
