Killian!

That's all that Emma could think about as she raced down the stairs after the figure who threatened his life. She could feel tears about to break the surface of her eyes, her hand still clamped tightly around the ring. She knew now that if Killian died, she might just die along with him. She knew that she couldn't imagine life without him and this guy would pay for what he's done. With her gun drawn she follows the fading footsteps, ones that were leading directly to the basement.

Very carefully, Emma takes a few slow steps down the wooden steps, they creak under her weight. She pauses to listen.

She hears a muffled sound and what sounds like struggling. She makes it to the bottom of the stairs in pitch blackness. She gives her eyes a moment to adjust and then she remembers she has a flashlight. She switches it on. At the very end of the room, she sees a figure. She raises her gun until the beam of light lands on dark hair and bright blue eyes squinting from the sudden brightness. She rushes over as fast as she can, so fast that she drops her flashlight and gun to the ground. She hugs him tightly.

It's Killian. He's bound by his hands and feet to a chair and a large strip of duct tape is across his mouth. He's also bleeding from where he was struck on the side of the head with the bottle. He's struggling against his restraints and his voice muffled like he's trying to tell her something.

Emma removes the tape as fast as possible.

"Swan," Killian says, very relieved that she's unharmed. Despite his own situation, Killian was always more concerned about the ones he loves.

The feeling was mutual.

Killian woke up bound and gagged in the chair and in complete darkness. He didn't know where he was or who had brought him here and he was worried about Emma. Eventually, the man had spoken to him, but since they were in complete darkness, Killian couldn't see who it was. He was told that he was the bait to get Emma out here and saw that his captor had gotten a hold of his phone. He was there when Emma called him and the stranger threatened his life. Then he simply told Killian to sit tight, leaving the pirate in a dark, cold prison. He tried to free himself multiple times, until his body became exhausted and couldn't. He was wondering if someone would find him. When he heard the footsteps above him, he tried to make as much noise as possible to attract attention, but the tape made it hard to make any sound. When he heard Emma's voice and the basement door slam, he never felt so happy in his life, he knew she was searching for him. He tried to make noise, but then a shot rang out and scared him half to death. He was afraid that Emma had been shot by the abductor and he lived with that agony until now.

Relief floods her body and Emma's eyes fill with tears. She leans forward and kisses Killian hard. She was so happy to have him back and that he was okay.

"I'm so glad you're alright," Emma pants when they break apart.

"As am I, when I heard the gun shots I assumed the worst," he says.

Emma tries to go to work on freeing his feet.

Suddenly, a gun's hammer cocks into place. Emma freezes in place.

"How touching," a voice says. "A happy reunion for a swan and her pirate…"

Emma turns and tries to go for her own gun when a large foot kicks it out of her reach. She feels the barrel of the gun go into her forehead.

Emma does her best to remain brave, she can hear Killian struggling again, trying to break free to help her. She slowly raises her eyes to the shadowed figure pointing the gun at her.

"It's a shame that all good things must come to an end," the voice sneers.

"If you touch her…" Killian warns.

"I highly doubt you're in a position to threaten me, Jones, considering you'll be the first one to die."

"Give me the file Swan," the figure says.

"I'll give it to you if you tell me who the hell you are and why you did this?"

The figure laughs. Emma feels the barrel of the gun come away from her head, allowing her to stand up and be near Killian. She hears the man's footsteps walk back towards the stairs, still laughing.

"What's the matter Swan, don't you remember me?" the voice says before the entire basement is flooded with light. "I thought you'd recognize the man you almost married…"
