Chapter 36

Killian stopped running as the hallway that he and Henry were running down split into two parts, "which way?" Henry asked eagerly.

Killian looked in between both of them trying to think, "I'm not sure…"

"What?!"

"I was unconscious when I was brought down here!"

"So what do we do?!"

Killian looked in between the two hallways, splitting up was out of the question, it would be too dangerous for Henry.

"What's the hold up?!" Victor asked running over to the two of them.

"I don't know which way to go…" Killian said.

"Oh yeah that's right," Terry said, "You haven't had to go outside to walk the streets yet."

"Well no..." Killian said.

"The right is the way out, there's only one door down there so it must be the left," Chris said.

"Now go save Emma!" Victor said.

Killian smiled at the four of them, "thanks guys!" He said before beginning to run down the left hallway.

"Wait for me!" Henry called however Terry grabbed him, "you're not going anywhere!"

Henry desperately tried to get free but Terry kept a firm grip on him.

Killian didn't have to run very far when he came to several doors, all of which had glass, so he knew that he was going to have to be careful if he was going to keep the element of surprise.

Walking to the first door he peeked inside, but the only thing in there was storage, the second door was janitorial supplies, the third door looked to be an office, which Killian decided to go inside hoping that he would find a letter opener or some other weapon, other than his hook just in case that didn't work. Quietly opening up three drawers, and not having any luck, Killian then opened up the last one smiling when he did in fact find a letter opener, which he quickly put into his pocket before running out of the room.

Running to another door and peeking inside, this room was empty, Killian then checked two more doors, and he was starting to worry that Emma possibly wasn't in the building anymore when finally he found her. His heart sank when he saw that it looked like she was about to have surgery done on her, luckily it didn't look like it had started yet.

"Hold on, Emma…" Killian whispered, "I'm coming," he said before taking a deep breath, taking the letter opener out of his pocket and taking the glove off his hand before kicking the door open.

"What the hell?!" Neal said shocked.

"Killian?" Tamara asked equally as shocked.

"How in the hell did he escape?!"

"I don't know…" Tamara said reaching into her pocket, probably looking for that remote so she could zap him, "oh no…" she whispered.

"What?" Neal asked.

"I don't have the remote… I can't zap him!"

"Well go get it!" Neal demanded, picking up a knife from the table, "I'll stop him."

Killian held up his letter opener, "in your dreams!"

"Dr. Belle!" Neal yelled, "Begin!"

"You're really a monster!" Killian screamed.

"No she's the monster," Neal said, "after all she killed my brother."

"I'm starting to think that you lied about that…"

Neal scoffed, "oh no this harpy has tricked you… just like she tricked me."

Killian looked past Neal gasping when he saw that the doctor was about to start operating on Emma, "no!" he yelled throwing the letter opener getting him right in the shoulder. Causing the doctor to drop the scalpel and fall backwards hitting his head on the counter and going unconscious.

"Dammit!" Neal screamed his anger beginning to boil over, "Why can't anything go according to plan for me?!"

"You really are a piece of work, Neal!"

"You should really not get on my bad side," Neal warned, "You won't like me if I get angry.

"I'm not scared of you."

Neal laughed looking down at Killian's hook, "Do you honestly think that you can stop me with that hook?"

"I'm sure as hell going to give it my best shot!"

Neal held up the knife that he was still holding, "so you're willing to die for someone who is so awful?"

"She's not awful," Killian said through gritted teeth, "I really don't think she's the monster you're making her out to be."

"Believe whatever you want," Neal said and before Killian could react Neal threw the knife which just grazed Killian's shoulder.

However before Killian could fight back he felt like he was being electrocuted, he screamed out in pain falling to his knees, before he lost consciousness he heard Neal's voice, "OK I'll let you in on a secret, you're right, Emma isn't the monster I made her out to be… I am, I killed my brother, a shame you'll never get out of here to tell anyone."

Tamara walked back in holding onto Henry by the shirt collar, "look who I found."

Neal smiled looking at Henry, "where'd you find him?"

"It appears that Killian's not the only one of my men to escape…" she said annoyed, "I guess maybe I should have hired better security."

Neal put his arm around her well when we set up again then I will make sure that you have the best security money can buy."

Tamara smiled kissing Neal's cheek, "and the best part is is that you have an heir now."

"I will never be your heir," Henry said trying to sound confident, but the fact that he was scared out of his mind was showing.

"Eventually you will be" Neal said smiling at him before turning his attention to Tamara, "come on let's get going."

Tamara gripped onto Henry's shirt collar tightly and began dragging him out of the room, "help me!" Henry cried, but Killian and Emma were both still out cold.

"How are you going to make sure that Emma and Killian don't escape to ruin our plan?" Tamara asked.

Neal smiled and walked over to a door opening it and grabbing a mop, he then shoved it underneath the handle "there that way they can't turn it."

Tamara smiled, "let's go!" She said excitedly.

"Right behind you, honey." Neal said following her.

Emma groaned as she began coming to, she felt like she had a pounding headache, and felt as if she had been hit by a truck.

Forcing her eyes open Emma looked around disoriented as she tried to remember where she was and what had happened, when her eyes rested on an unconscious Killian, she gasped sitting up a little too quickly and falling back down, "ouch…" Emma said as her headache got worse.

After she lay there for a few moments she knew that she had to make sure Killian was alright, taking a deep breath she forced herself to get up, this time she didn't feel dizzy, so she quickly got off the table and kneeled down beside Killian.

"Killian?" Emma asked, "Killian are you alright?"

Killian groaned opening his eyes, "Emma?" he whispered.

"I'm here," Emma said touching his face, "are you alright?"

Killian gasped sitting up, nearly falling back down but he managed to put his hand out to catch himself, "am I alright?!" He demanded, "Are you?!"

Emma's eyes filled with tears, "I think so…"

Killian embraced Emma in a hug, "It's alright."

For a few moments Emma just sat there in Killian's arms, "what are you doing here?" She finally asked.

"Well Henry told me that Neal had you, and I've heard Neal talk about the things that he would do to you if he ever found you…"

Emma shuddered, "I can't even imagine," she said before looking around and gasping when she saw Dr. Belle laying on the ground still unconscious.

Killian's eyes also rested on Dr. Belle, "I stopped him before he could perform the surgery on you."

"Thank you," Emma said giving him a small smile, "Neal wanted to groom me again, but this time he wanted to make sure that I wouldn't get pregnant…"

"Wait what?!" Killian demanded, "What the bloody hell do you mean he wanted to groom you again?"

Emma covered her mouth wishing that she hadn't said that, "it's nothing…" she said.

"Emma…" Killian said.

Emma ignored him looking around, "where's Henry?" She asked trying to change the subject.

"With the other guys that Tamara was holding hostage." Killian said, "Now talk to me."

Emma sighed standing up, she really didn't want to talk to Killian about this, she really shouldn't have mentioned it, "not now," she said walking towards the door, trying to open it, "the door's locked!"

"What?" Killian asked also walking over to the door trying to open it, "Neal must have locked us in."

"How the hell are we going to get out of here?" Emma asked.

Killian walked over to the surgical tools dumping them out of the tray and then using the tray to try and break the glass, but it didn't work, "I'm not that weak."

"It must be unbreakable." Emma said.

Killian tried once more to break the window, but again it didn't work.

Emma sighed sitting down on the ground, glancing at Dr. Belle, his chest went up and down.

"That doctor is going to have an awful headache when he wakes up," Killian said sitting down beside Emma.

"Have you been held hostage here for ten years?" Emma asked.

Killian nodded his head.

"You were never able to escape?"

"Tamara is ruthless…" Killian whispered, "and to be honest I was kind of scared of her…" he said embarrassed.

Emma placed her hand on his, "thank you," she said, "thank you for risking your life to save me."

"I kind of have a confession to make…" Killian whispered.

"What's that?"

Killian looked at Emma staring into her beautiful green eyes, she gave him a small smile, "ten years ago I found out that Regina was adopting your baby…"

Emma waited for a moment for him to continue, when he didn't, she spoke, "OK."

Killian sighed resting his head against the wall, "and I was angry," he admitted.

"Why?" Emma asked confused.

"Because I thought that you were a murderer."

"You believed Neal."

Killian looked at Emma taking her hand, "I'm so sorry!" He said almost begging, "I was so stupid and so I was going to help Neal to get you and then I was kidnapped and I heard what he was planning on doing to you!"

Emma squeezed Killian's hand, "Neal is a very good liar," she said, "he had me fooled as well."

"I lost ten years of my life because I was so stupid…" Killian said his eyes filling with tears, "I could have enjoyed my life with Regina and Henry… but instead I've been stuck in this hell hole."

"Regina misses you," Emma said.

"She does?" Killian asked surprirsed.

"Of course she does," Emma said her heart breaking slightly, she really did have feelings for Killian, no matter how short the time she had known him was.

Emma looked out the glass on the door, hoping that someone would come and let them out.

"Do you smell smoke?" Killian asked a few moments later.

Emma took a breath and gasped, "Yes I do!" She said standing up, running to the door and gasping when she saw smoke down the hallway, "I think this place is on fire!"

"Shit!" Killian said, "We have to figure out a way out of here!"

"How?" Emma asked looking around, "This door is the only way out!"

Killian also looked around the room, shaking his head, "maybe that's what Neal meant."

"What?" Emma asked confused.

"Before I lost consciousness fully Neal said something to me… I thought I had dreamt it, but now I'm starting to think that I didn't."

"What did he say?"

Killian thought for a moment, "that you're not the monster that he made you out to be… and that he killed his brother."

"He actually admitted that to you?"

Killian nodded his head, "he also said it's a shame that I'll never get out of here to tell anyone…"

"We can't let Neal win!" Emma cried, "What he said to you could be my key to finally escaping from his grasp!"

"I'd testify against him," Killian said.

Emma looked around the room once again, her eyes resting on the scalpel, she ran over to it picking it up.

"What are you doing?"

Emma glanced out the window, she could see the fire now, it was starting to get closer, "I'm going to try to break the doorknob with this!" She said beginning to hack away at it.

Killian watched her, from outside the window he could see the smoke getting closer, he knew that even if Emma did break the knob that they'd never be able to escape.

"Emma…" Killian said, but she didn't stop what she was doing, "Emma!" Killian said taking her hand, she turned to him tears falling from her eyes, "stop." He said.

"We can't give up!" Emma said starting to cough as the room began filling with smoke.

Killian embraced her into a hug, "it's OK," he said rubbing her back.

Emma continued crying into his shoulder.

"I'm so sorry…" Killian whispered.

Emma looked up at him confused, "this is not your fault."

"If I hadn't of been so stupid then neither one of us would be in this position right now," Killian said before coughing, the room was getting really smoky now.

"And if I hadn't of dated Neal then my life wouldn't be the way it is now," Emma said, staring into his eyes, "living life means taking chances, even if sometimes they're very wrong…"

The two of them stared into each other's eyes for a few long moments, until Killian began leaning his head down until finally their lips touched. Both of them momentarily forgetting about the fire and the smoke filling the room. The only thing that they could focus on was the kiss, which was absolutely perfect despite everything.
