But anyways this chapter you're going to see Killian and Emma go after Regina for what she did to Henry in the last chapter, and also a CaptainSwan surprise.
Chapter 10: Regina Can Not Destroy Our Happiness
It had been a week since Killian had gotten out of the hospital, a week since he moved into the small house by the Ocean and a week since Henry's castle was taken away and his book was stolen, nothing had come up. Their relationship had started off pretty well, Killian would come in to the station every morning and hand Emma her favorite drink, he would walk her home every night and would finish the day off with a kiss, everything was just fine. Other than the fact that Henry was upset and bored since he didn't really have anything else to do anymore.
Mary-margaret, David, Killian and Emma all sat in a booth by the window, they were enjoying a breakfast together. Henry was sitting up at the bar with a piece of large paper and a blue marker, frustrated.
"How's he been?" Mary-margaret asked as she took a bite out of her under easy eggs that she enjoyed every morning.
Killian looked over at his son, he had been trying all week to write down everything that he remembered from his story, he couldn't forget it. "Henry? He's been...board. Since Regina toke down that jungle gym he's just been around the house, looking out the window, or just kicking snow around. I wish there was something that I could do to help him out, that book seems to be nowhere."
"Christmas is just around the corner, every kid loves Christmas" David suggested as he took a sip of his usual coffee he had every morning before going into work.
"Yeah, we could throw a little party here at Granny's, get Henry's mind off the book, exchange presents, have some games...what do you say?" Mary-margaret asked.
Emma sat close to Killian, his left arm that was now healed up well enough that it didn't need a sling wrapped around her shoulder. She thought it was a pretty good idea, but she didn't know what to even get Henry, she didn't want to get him something he wouldn't like. "I think that would be fun for everybody, but what does a boy like Henry like? I still have no idea what to get him."
"You don't have to get him anything love" Killian told her. He knew Emma didn't realize she was his mother but Henry did and all Henry would ever want was to just spend time as a family, he'd prefer it with the curse broken but it was what it was.
"Are you kidding me?" Emma said smacking the side of his ribs playfully, "Henry is like a son to me now, me and him bonded very well last week when I was taking care of him, so Killian Jones I am buying him a gift whether you like it or not!" She stuck her tongue out at him like a child and when she seen the pout on his face she couldn't help but giggle.
David smiled at seeing her so happy, "Looks like things between you two are going pretty well" David noted as he seen Emma look into the mans eyes with the biggest smile he's ever seen on her face.
"We're perfect." She placed her forehead against Killian's and placed a soft peck on his lips. "Alright well, we better get going if we actually want to get some work done today."
"Aye" Killian stood up with David, getting ready to leave the diner, "Ruby, do you mind watching Henry for a bit?"
Ruby was behind the counter, pacing Grumpy his usual bacon, "No not at all."
Killian nodded a thank you and waited for Emma to get to his side, taking her hand in his ever so gently and intertwining their fingers. He was just happy that he finally got Emma to give him a chance and now all he had to do was make her fall in love with him enough that they could break the curse...together.
"So...I've been thinking, about us." Emma said as she walked a long side her deputy and now...boyfriend...lover...what would you call them?
"Oh yeah? About what Swan?"
Emma stopped them on the sidewalk, letting David get a good couple of meters a head before speaking. "I was wondering...if you'd go out to diner...with me tonight."
Killian almost chocked on his own spit. Ever since he arrived in this bloody town he thought he would've been the one to ask her out. "Shouldn't I be the one asking you out?"
"I should've known you'd be old fashioned" Emma joked. She had noticed that he was more of a gentlemen then most modern day men and he liked his alcohol pure, he didn't like it mixed and he always drank from a tankard, and his accent...oh his accent was like a medieval Irish pirate! It was so dark and deep, gods it just got her going.
Killian stepped closer to her, giving her a smirk, "I would happily accept, on one condition...you let me plan the evening."
Emma raised her eyebrows, she felt somewhat insulted that he didn't trust her to plan their date, but it was traditional that the man's always suppose to plan the date, but she already broke tradition by asking him out. "I know how to plan a date!" She squealed.
"You know how to chase monsters, I know how to plan an evening out." He wasn't lying even though Princess Emma did to adventures things and fight off a lot of monsters that most royalty didn't, she did chase monsters around town if she ever had to arrest anybody.
Emma shrugged, "well, I don't pillage and plunder on the first date just so you know." It was just a joke considering all the things that Henry had told her and also that freaky dream that almost seemed real that she had last week.
"Well that's because you haven't been out with me yet." Killian winked at her making her blush. Tonight was going to be something romantic and sweet, something that she wouldn't forget, something that would definitely make her see who he really is, who knows maybe it'll be the night Emma falls deeply in love with him.
"Hey! Are you two coming or are you just going to stand there!" David shouted from down the road, he had stopped and turned around when he hadn't heard the sound of footsteps behind him. Now he was looking at Emma and Killian, obviously flirting with each other, oh boy, this was going to be a long day at work, he could already feel it.
Emma and Killian both glanced at each other one last time before they started to chuckle and run towards the station. Killian held the door open for Emma, letting her hand go so she could step in. As the both walked in they noticed Sidney Glass, the towns main reporter. He was sitting on one of the waiting chairs by the door where you first walk in. He had a dopey look on his face and all they could smell was whiskey...STRONG whiskey.
"Sidney? Can we help you?" David asked, taking off his jacket and pinning it up on a small hook that was hanging from the wall.
Sidney looked up at Emma and Killian with his big beating eyes that looked almost blood shot, "I can grant your wish!"
Emma got the smell of whiskey off his breath, it was a lot stronger coming from his mouth than it was when they had first walked it. "Wow. Sidney! I think you should have some water to go with that whiskey!"
"You two want to show this town who the mayor really is after what she did to your son...I can help!" He slurred through his words.
Killian met up with the man the first week he was in this town, he found out that he was a reporter that Regina held close to her because she was trying to fish out any kind of evidence about him and Henry. Of course he didn't find any because he wasn't brought over with this curse, there was nothing to say about him, unless they wanted to put 'Baby and newborn baby live in motel for two months' as a title in one of the newspaper. "That's going to be kind of hard to do inside her pocket don't you think mate?"
"Me and the mayor are done!" Sidney spat.
"Sure you are." David knew better than to trust Mr. Glass. Regina controlled him better than she controlled this town, if she needed or wanted something done she counted on him to do it, unless it was something she had to get her hands dirty in, then she would call up Mr. Gold.
Sidney sat up, getting into the mans face. He had a hard time to steady himself from all of the booze but eventually found his point of gravity. "She fired me! I found something I wasn't suppose to in her office, something she didn't want found."
David closed his eyes and covered his mouth and nose from the smell of alcohol. It was the strongest sent of whiskey he had ever been around. It was almost like if you somebody were to take all the alcohol from the bar, pour it into a big dumpster and then put in ten rotten corpses.
"Sidney, you're drunk, go home and sleep it off. Just be grateful you don't have to answer to her anymore." Sidney passed her a card that he took out from under his jacket sleeve before he left, she did take it but she didn't want to use it, just going after Regina would only create a bigger fire inside of her and Emma did not want to handle that right now.
Killian placed a hand on her shoulder, making her to jump and look at him. "Love, if you want we could..." He was considering on calling Sidney, wanting to hear what he said. Regina thinks she can boss everybody around, well not him, he already knew who she was and once this curse breaks...oh boy, there was going to be hell risen on the streets.
"No! I'm not going down to her level!" Emma exclaimed, "Regina hurt Henry, she hurt you...I can't see her hurt anybody else I love." Emma started walking up to her office, "Besides, tonight it's only going to me and...fuck!" Emma shouted as she looked over to where the two cells were in front of the deputy desks. Yesterday there was a prisoner inside, now there was nothing but an open gate.
"Bloody hell" Killian whispered as he rounded the corner and seen what she had cursed over. How the hell did Will get out...right he was a master at locks, he should've remembered. Where could he have gone to? How long was he out? If he had just escaped then maybe, just maybe they would be able to get him back before tonight, and if not well then there's always another day.
"Why are you guys always cursing..." And that's when David looked to see Will was gone, "Shoot!" Emma and Killian glared at him raising their eyebrows, "What? I don't swear."
Emma nodded, of course David didn't him and Mary-margaret were just like Prince Charming and Snow White, they were pure at heart and didn't do anything dark. "Right well, somebody check the video cameras, maybe we can find which way he went."
August was sitting next to Henry at the bar, he waited until his parents and grandparents had left before sitting down, didn't want to cause another riot. He had been watching Henry from the corner of his eye and had noticed how distracted the boy was with a blue marker, writing down all the fairy tale characters and who in Storybrooke was who, guess he knew about the curse. Thank god! "What you working on?"
"Uh, no time time to talk, gotta write it all down before I forget!" Henry exclaimed, not even lifting his head once to look at the man, he was too distracted in writing down everything from his book.
"Yeah, I hate it when great ideas slip away from me."
Henry looked up for one second and seen it was August, the man from last week, the new man in town. "They're not my ideas, they're from a book that I lost" That was taken from me more like he should have said.
August nodded, he knew he was talking about the famous Storybook. "Must be one hell of a book, what's it about?" He didn't know why he was asking these questions, he already knew the answers, guess he just wanted to hear how Henry would say back. But he knew he wouldn't say "My entire family is cursed, and that book was their whole life story starting with how my mother was made by true love to how the infamous Captain Hook became my father after falling in love with my mother whom was a Princess and then then having me and the split second the curse was spreading through the land and ripping peoples happy endings apart."
Henry was silent for a moment, he wasn't going to tell this man, he didn't trust him. "Stuff" He mumbled.
"Sounds interesting."
Henry sat up and stopped writing, looking up at the man while he spoke this time. "You seem awfully interested in me and my book!" Henry stated firmly.
"Nah, I'm just being...neighborly" August said with a quick smile as he turned in his bar chair towards the boy.
"What are you doing in Storybrooke?" Henry asked for the second time since this strange man came into their small town.
August leaned in closer, looking Henry straight into his big green eyes that looked so much like the Princess. "I'm a writer."
"You can write anywhere, why Storybrooke?" Henry asked. What was so big about Storybrooke, of course there was the curse, but did this man know that? He did come form out of town so it was impossible that he knew unless he was like his father and was a fairy tale character also. "What are you really doing here?"
August smiled, he knew this boy would be hard to crack. "Stuff."
"What kind of stuff?" Henry wanted to know. This man asked what he was writing, so he was going to go ahead and ask his own questions.
August leaned back, closer to Henry's ear. "Stuff" He whispered as he then spun around, got off his chair and walked out the diner. He could feel Henry's eyes on him s he walked out and that made him smirk.
Ruby watched as the dark man she's never seen before walk out of the diner. He was kind of cute she thought. "Henry, what was that all about?" She watched from the other side of the diner as the man started to talking to Henry about his book and how he was mysterious and wouldn't even really answer Henry's questions. A lot of strange things have been happening in this town, lately she was even able to start hearing things that she couldn't before and when she went to sleep at night she kept having dreams about running in a dark forest and howling at the moon.
Henry only answered her with a shrug. He looked into her eyes, before they were dark brown but now they looked as if they were turning green. "Ruby...I thought your eyes were brown?"
"They..." Ruby picked up a spoon and looked at her eyes, they weren't brown like they had been every other day she looked in the mirror, and that was a lot. "They were brown...that's strange."
"It could be a lot worse." Henry thought how weird it would be if she woke up one night and she was in the middle of the woods, now that would definitely be something to think about.
Emma had just finished up her make up, she had applied some this morning but with her date with Killian she fancied it up a bit. She went for a light shade of red lipstick, and she did a natural smoky eye with a thin line of eyeliner. She fitted herself in a tight red dress with black heels, her hair hung down with tight curls. She checked herself one last time in the mirror. "Sexy" She said to herself with one last look. As she made sure she had everything there was a knock at the door. Killian was here.
She walked over slowly to the door, this was the first date she'd ever go on. Her nerves had been going off all after noon just thinking about it, and now the time finally came. She placed her hand on the knob and hesitated to open it, this was it. Once she opened it she seen Killian with that same old smirk on his face. He was wearing a tight black t-shirt with a black vest, tight black pants, and he was holding a bright red rose.
"For m'lady" He said with a smirk handing the rose over to her. He checked her from head to toe, she was breath taking. "Swan, you look beautiful."
Emma blushed at his compliment, she loved it when he said sweet things about her. "And you look..."
"I know." Killian shrugged with a smile making Emma smile and scuff as if he was full of himself. "You ready to go?" He asked holding out his arm for her to take.
Emma gladly took it, "Where are we going?"
"Oh, I have the perfect idea" He said leading her down to his truck. He opened the door for her, allowing her to step in.
"As long as it gets my mind off of this day with Sidney and Will escaping and Henry's castling and book being taken away, I think it'll be perfect." She smiled at the man next to her as he looked back at her and smiled back with nothing but love in his eyes...love, that word that Emma was so afraid about for her entire life. Now it just felt normal...well sort of.
"Don't worry love, any night out with me and you'll forget your name. Hopefully you'll be screaming mine sometime tonight." He winked at her as he started to put on his old pirate charms, the charms that Emma fell in love with.
Emma laughed, "Not going to happen yet...Hook." She watched as his face fell, did she say something wrong?
"Hook? Why...Why would you?" And then he caught on, "Oh right! Because of Henry's theory! gotcha!" For a second there he thought Emma had her memories and was just waiting around hoping that he would figure it out for himself. He hoped she wouldn't do that! When that curse breaks the first thing he's doing is something that he's longed for in the last ten years. Killian had to shake the thought out of his head, just the image of it was starting to do things to his body, things that shouldn't be happening. He could feel his pants start to tighten around his waist. Shit!
Emma was too busy looking up at the stars to even notice what Killian was doing beside her. Sometimes she wished she was a star, just sit up there and not have a care in the world, everybody paying attention to you. "The stars are beautiful tonight."
"Not as beautiful as you..." He whispered making Emma turn her attention towards him. She had the most beautiful smile, her skin glowed in the moon light, her eyes twinkled as the light bounce off of them. He grabbed her hand and they intertwined fingers. This was the best feeling in the world.
That's when Emma noticed, the surprisingly large bulge that was appearing in his pants. She started giggling as she blushed and looked away. "Problem there Killian." She pointed to what she was referring to. Boys. They can never control themselves.
"I'm sorry! Who can blame me...I'm around a very sexy women right now" He said with a smirk, wink and a wiggle of his eyebrows. He tried the best he could to hide it, but it was still semi visible.
By the time they pulled up to their destination Emma looked out and seen a beach. This couldn't be right, it was practically winter and their was Snow all over the ground, she hopped he didn't expect her to sit out in the freezing cold, especially in her dress. "A beach? Are you serious? It's only five degrees out right now."
"Trust me love, it's not the beach. I wouldn't freeze you to death on our first date." Killian placed his truck in gear and got out, walking over to Emma's side and helping her out. "Oh, and before I forget." He took out a blind fold and started tying it around her eyes, surprisingly she let him.
"Oh no, is this the part where you drag me to a quite area and murder me?" She joked and started laughing, then she stopped, "But no seriously...are you going to murder me?"
Killian let out a deep dark chuckle, if he was going to murder her he wouldn't have waited an entire month to get this far with her. If he was still the man he was three hundred years ago he would've gotten her full blown drunk, and then he would have taken her up to a private room, ravish her and then leave her there a sleep or pierce his hook in her heart. He wasn't proud of it. "If I wanted to do that, I would've done it a long time ago." He started moving her gently and carefully across the frozen beach, making sure she didn't trip or crash into anything.
Emma trusted him, but if she took this blindfold off and she was in the middle of nowhere's and he had a shovel in his hand...she picked the wrong night to wear heels. She could hear the sound of a creaky door opening and the sound of footsteps on metal, oh god, she was going to die.
"Alright Swan, take off the blind fold." He watched as she lifted the fold from her eyes and her mouth dropped open at the view in front of her. They were in a lighthouse but at the bottom he had hung up fairy lights and streamed them around the railings to the very top, each step was covered in red rose petals and smooth soft music played in the background. As she slowly started climbing up the stairs she noticed there was something else at the very top. A soft blanket was laid down on the floor, candles were lit all around it with some more rose petals. On the blanket was two silver traps, an ice bucket and a bottle of champagne were also there.
She was speechless as she looked around, everything was so romantic, it set the perfect mood, and it wasn't like a traditional date where the man just took you out to an over packet three star restaurant where you couldn't express your love for one another. "Oh Killian...it looks beautiful." She turned around and placed a soft kiss on his lips, "Thank you."
"Anything for you." He lead her over to the blanket where they both sat down. He poured them both a tall glass of champagne and cheered to them, he wanted to make this a special night.
As the night went on they laughed and giggled and drank a bunch of champagne. Emma had forgotten all about Regina and the troubles she was adding to her life, all that really mattered at this one moment was that she was finally enjoying some alone time with Killian, the man she really wanted to kiss right now. No, that was the champagne talking, but she still really did want to kiss him, he's a very attractive man, what girl wouldn't want that.
They finished their meal and their last glass of champagne as Killian cleaned off the area and laid down. He held out his arm offering Emma to lay down with him. She did. She snuggled into him, with her head on his shoulder and feeling his body heat against hers. She placed her hand on his chest, she felt his heart beating, it relaxed her.
"I must say Killian Jones...you do know how to plan an evening out" She smiled as she looked up at him.
Killian had an arm behind his head, the hard floor didn't feel good, but he slept on his fair share of hard concrete floors in his day. "Well it wasn't all my idea...Henry helped me plan it. Said it would help you fall in love with me faster and the curse would be broken."
"Right." She chuckled, "I find it so sweet how he believes in that stuff, it's cute."
"Yeah well, enjoy it while it lasts, it wont be like that for much longer."
She understood what he meant, he was growing up and getting older, soon he wouldn't believe in these fairy tales, which meant he wouldn't believe she was his mother, that made her feel sad inside. "So, you never answered my question from earlier. What should I get him for Christmas?"
Killian sighed, Christmas was coming, he had to get something for Emma. This would be the first Christmas ever they'd have together, they never had it in the Enchanted Forest. "Well, I know he would really want for his mother to be here with him, but other than that he likes to write, read, and he loves comics."
Emma nodded, at least now she had some idea of what she could get the boy. "It must feel different not having her around. I couldn't imagine what I would do if my husband and me got separated after I just had our child."
He scratched behind his ear, if only she knew. "It was hard at first but I know she's always there with me." It was true, him and Emma have spent surprisingly a lot of time together since he had woken up. They worked all day together, went to Granny's together, went on walks, they mostly did everything a regular couple would do...well mostly everything.
"That's good." She smiled as she snuggled in closer, she loved how he held her tightly against him, it made her feel safe. "I know Henry's been going through a lot with Regina and his book and me and you have been too, it's like ever since you arrived she wont leave us a lone, what does she have against you?"
"Regina will be Regina love, but whatever she does whether it's pour a hot chocolate on us or run one of us over with a car...she will not destroy our happiness" Killian spoke softly before placing a gentle kiss on the top of her head. He had stroked her hair and rubbed small circles into her head, it's what he always did in the Enchanted Forest.
The time went by and the night was spreading into morning, they hadn't really cared how long they stayed up in the lighthouse, listening to the waves splash against the side of the walls or the seagulls that flew past every so often. But they both knew it was time to go, time to go home and crawl into bed and then wake up to another long day of dealing with Regina drama and all the town drunks. They didn't really bother to clean up anything, Killian said he would go back sometime within the week and clean it up.
Killian drove Emma home and helped her upstairs and into her bed, she was so out of it, she could barley stand by herself. The moment he set her down on her bed, she started snoring away, he always thought it was cute how low her snores were and how she clenched the blankets up to her face as she slept. Sometimes he would even catch her talking in her sleep, but never bothered to say anything of it, he would just sit there and listen and think how lucky he was that she was able to see the good side of the dark hearted pirate he once was. "Good night Swan." He placed a soft kiss on her forehead before looking down at her sleeping form one last time and driving off back to his house where he seen Henry was already in bed.
The next morning Emma had woken up early, she was meeting Killian and Henry at Granny's this morning to grab a little something for breakfast. By the time she got their, Killian and Henry were already seated and already had their hot beverages in front of them. She walked over with a smile on her face. She was still overjoyed from hers and Killian's date last night, it was beyond perfect, even though she ended up falling asleep on him.
"Morning lass, I ordered you your favorite, hot cocoa with a dash of cinnamon" Killian smiled as he slid the drink across the table.
"Thank you Charming" Emma said with a smile, taking the drink to her mouth and taking a big drink, it wasn't too hot and it wasn't too cold, it was just right.
Henry looked up at her, he looked adjudicated, like how a toddler looks when nobody will pay any attention to it. "He's not Prince Charming! He's Captain Hook!" Henry exclaimed.
"Alright Henry, somebody seems a pick grouchy today" Killian stated the obvious, he knew Emma was just playing around but that didn't mean Henry had to go and start raising his voice at her...his own mother to be exact.
"Killian, you better get a handle on that kid of yours" Regina said with an evil grin as she walked up to the three. "How are you Henry? Still fussing over the play ground and your book I see...well get over it! It's gone! It's time to grow up!"Regina spat in the little boys face before she walked off.
That was it, Emma could not just sit there and watch as the Mayor growled at Henry because he was annoyed and angry that there was nothing else left in this town for him to do or anything for him to enjoy, she took it all away, like she does for everything. "Madame Mayor! I think that was a bit far, even for you. So congratulation you destroyed the one thing he loves!"
Regina smirked, of course Emma would say something, that's just who she and the rest of her family were, they couldn't keep their mouths shut at all! If it counted on the life of somebody and they had to keep a secret, well they wouldn't. She learnt that the hard way. "You see me as a villain Miss. Swan and I don't understand why. I took down the one thing that would hurt your boy and the other children of Storybrooke, so instead maybe you should learn your place in this town, or soon, you won't be in it!"
"What's that suppose to mean!?" Emma questioned, was that a threat? Because if it was, well Emma wouldn't feel bad arresting her right here, right now in front of half the towns folk.
Regina stepped forward, getting closer into her brat of a grand child. "Don't let your feelings cloud your judgment Miss. Swan." And with that she walked out the diner, pleased with herself.
"Don't let my feelings cloud my judgment! That's all she ever does!" Emma exclaimed as she turned back to Killian and Henry.
"Don't worry, she's just frustrated because her curse is started to slowly break. You're seeing visions, The town clock moved, crickets are here, Ashley had her baby, Mary-margaret and David are expecting a baby and lastly Ruby's eyes are changing from brown to green" Henry explained in a half sleepy voice. He was pretty tired, he tried to stay up as late as possible last night, waiting for his father to return back from his time with Emma, but he passed out before that even happened.
Killian and Emma just smiled down at Henry before smiling at each other, Henry definitely was unique. "Maybe we should give Sidney a call" Killian stated.
Emma nodded, "Yeah you're right, somebody needs to show her that she can't keep doing this to people." she took out the card that she kept hidden in her jacket pocket, she didn't think that she would ever really use it, she had almost thrown it away at some point but always found her self refusing to. She dialed the number into her phone and listened until the man on the other end picked up. "Sidney? Hi. We're in. We want everyone to know who she really is."
Mary-margaret had woken from an amazing dream, she was Snow White once again and her prince had just gotten married, it was beautiful. The whole kingdom gathered to watch and their were no interruptions and she was finally saying 'I do' to the man she loved the most. She smelt bacon and immediately jumped out of bed, noticing David wasn't in the spot next to her, she knew he had to work, but yet she still smelt the greasy goodness. She ran downstairs and seen David standing their, cooking. "David? Don't you have work today?"
"Don't worry, I texted Emma, letting her know I'll be late." He placed a plate of hot food in front of his wife, "Now eat up before it gets cold." He walked over to the fridge and poured her a glass of cold orange juice. "Here you go m'lady, your favorite."
Mary-margaret giggled, how she would never wish for anything more than what she already had. Well, she did always want a daughter. "So, we never talked about what to name our baby yet...what do you think?"
"Whatever you like, I'll love"
"And that is exactly why I love you. I always thought Emma was a good name for a girl..."
Killian and Emma drove down the dirt road where Sidney told them to meet. They were under a tunnel, they stopped at the end of it and got out. This was where the man told them to meet, and yet they didn't see him here at all. Then suddenly the man walked out of the forest in a full disguise, a long beige coat and a beige hat, he looked undercover...maybe he was.
"Alright Mate, what do you have on Ms Madame Mayor?" Killian asked placing his arm around Emma's waist and pulling her closer to him.
Sidney walked closer to the pair, he couldn't risk anybody hearing him, lord knows what Regina could do. She probably had cameras and microphones hidden all over the town. "Fifty thousand dollars" He whispered. He watched as Emma looked up at Killian who also looked down at her they didn't understand. "Regina is responsible for fifty grand of the city budget missing."
"That's it? That's what you have on her?" Emma was hopping it was going to be a little bit more than that she just took money, she was mayor after all, she did have the right to take it, but depends on what she took it for. The city's money was for the city only, she couldn't take it and buy a new tube of dark red lipstick that she seems to fancy so much.
"That's just the start of it. We figure out what she's doing with all the money and we got her, it starts to all crumble from there. And we'll finally learn her secrets. You both see what she is. I see what she is. We just need to show the entire town what she is. I'm telling you - this is it." Sidney was pretty confident in his plan, he thought for sure it would work.
Killian listened a long and so far he liked what the man was saying, "So, how are we going to do that?"
"Tag her phone. GPS her car. hack into her email. Dig into your bail bondsman bag of tricks, do whatever it takes" Sidney stated.
Killian liked the sound of that, but he also knew that Emma wouldn't she was responsible if anything went wrong and she was the sheriff. So like he thought she declined on that plan and told him that they were doing it her way, straight from the book. He smiled, that was his Swan right there.
"She's going to know we're onto her, are you both sure you're ready for her wrath?" Sidney questioned, raising his eyebrows.
Killian took his left arm and moved it in slow circles, feeling the pain of his slightly healed bone still trying to heal up a little bit more. "Well, I went through her wrath once before, I'm sure she couldn't do anything to us that we're not ready for this time, right love?" Emma nodded at him with a smile.
"Good, because I wasn't."
Emma stepped forward and looked the man in the eyes, something wasn't right here. "If you thought she was such an evil person, why did you let yourself get trapped inside her pocket?"
Sidney looked at her with upset eyes, "I use to think she was a different person."
Killian understood him, of course he always knew she was evil but he had also heard of the stories that Snow White had told her one time that she use to be really sweet and caring, until Snow accidentally told a secret when she was ten and ever since then she changed and tried to kill her. All because she trusted a ten year old with the biggest secret of all...even Killian knew better not to do that.
"Well, if we're ever going to get her, we better start now. Come on, lets go back to the station and look through all the city files" Emma noted before she jumped back into the car with Killian in the passenger seat and Sidney in back. They all just sat in silence until they reached the station.
Killian, Emma and Sidney were all looking through recent city files, seeing if they could find anything about what all the money Regina had taken out was for. They didn't even bother to say anything to each other, they were really sunk into their work.
Killian knew that if Will was still locked up here then they wouldn't get any work done because he was usually a pain in the arse when it came to doing important things. He remembered how he would be in his quarters trying to map a way out of Never land and that man would just come in, start smacking on some kind of food and then ask him ridiculous questions. He wondered where he was, he hopped he wasn't getting drunk off his arse somewhere.
"Hey Sidney, when did you say that transaction went through? Does three weeks ago sound right?" Emma asked as Sidney nodded, "Well those files are missing." She showed Killian and Sidney the empty file and she threw it on the ground, frustrated. They would never figure out what Regina was doing with all that money.
"Don't stress love, we'll figure our something. Something I learned long ago was that there is always another way." Killian said placing a soft kiss to her temple.
The station door opened making everybody turn their attention to see David coming from around the corner. "Oh hey guys, what's going on?" He asked as he seen the dozen of boxes all laid on the desks and floor.
"We. are going after Regina for the pain she's caused all of us" Emma said, "But so far all we found out that the files that we were looking for are missing, so I don't know what to do now. I guess we just give up."
"Now, that does not sound like the Emma Swan I know, the Emma I know wouldn't let this small bump in the road hold her back, she'd keep pushing until we found out what the mayor was hiding." Killian put his good hand in his pocket and pulled out a small black device, "Plus, I have an idea" He winked.
David nodded, "Well whatever you plan on doing with that bug, make sure Regina doesn't notice it or you're in for some hell."
"That's the whole point David, she's not suppose to see it, jeez buddy, get into these time." Killian chuckled at that. He remembered when David use to make fun of his age, well now he got to do it to him. Paybacks a bitch.
"You have to do something, but whatever you do, just remember what she did to you. to me. to Henry. She's not going to stop and you know it."
Killian and Emma rushed over to city hall where they found Regina sitting at her desk, writing notes about something. But as she seen them she quickly covered them up and rolled her eyes. She knew this wasn't going to be good.
"Madame Mayor, we believe that you have been doing something, something that you shouldn't be. And we're about to figure that out...well as long as you'll actually cooperate and be completely honest." Emma looked Regina in the eye. She just walked in and said what she had to said, no hello, how are you, just getting right to the point.
Regina looked up and looked between the smirked pirate and the "threatening" Princess. This has got to be good she thought to herself as she sighed out loud. "And exactly what are you accusing me for?"
"Fifty thousand dollars was transferred out of a city account - by you, want to explain why?" Emma asked in a strong voice, one that would almost sound threatening, but not quite.
Regina nodded as she listened, she did take fifty thousand dollars out, but that was for her to know and only her. "Well, as Mayor, I'm involved in many transactions. If you don't believe me check the public records."
"That's the thing we checked from three weeks ago, and they're missing, any idea what happened to them?" Killian asked with a dark look on his face.
"Well if they're missing I must've checked them out, as my job often requires me too. So can you and your...whatever she is to you, get out of my office. I have nothing to hide"
Emma walked up to the Mayors desk and leaned down on it, glancing straight into her eyes with nothing but a straight face. "Are you sure you have nothing to tell us Madame Mayor?"
"I have nothing to hide sheriff" She said once again as she shrugged and slowly shook her head.
Emma kept looking down on the Mayor, the smile that was once on Regina's face now disappeared into a straight line. "Okay. come on Killian, she's got nothing to hide, I guess we just wasted all of our time." She slowly walked out of the office with Killian by her side, rushing out. She had a smile on her face, she was proud of herself.
Killian waited until they were outside and a couple hundred meters away from city hall, just in case Regina could hear them from the window in her office. "Did you do it? Did you plant the bug?"
"Yup!" Emma said proudly as she smiled and got into her bug.
"That's my girl!" He seen how Emma's cheeks flushed a bright pink as he called her his girl, he loved it when she blushed.
"Anything yet?" Killian asked as he walked over to David's desk who was listening to the bug Emma had planted in Regina's office two nights ago. They haven't caught anything that was useful yet just her being crabby and ordering her secretary around.
David took of the headphones and glanced up at Killian, it was hard work just sitting there and listening to if they were even going to catch anything useful. He had offered to take over Killian so he could go out Christmas shopping with Emma. Killian even showed him the gift he got her, it was beautiful and she was going to love it. "Well, I got a little something suspicious just over an hour ago." David was about to turn it on and then noticed Emma wasn't around. "Where's Emma?"
"Oh, she said she had to run to Gold's shop for a second." David took a seat on the chair he wheeled up from his own desk. "So, what is it you heard?"
David nodded, he didn't know if it was such a great idea to show Killian since Emma wasn't around but, what he caught was pretty serious and he thought that Killian should hear it. "Alright, but you have to promise you'll tell Emma, alright?"
"Mate, when have I ever kept anything from Emma?"
David stayed silent for a moment thinking about it, he didn't think Killian was hiding anything from the sheriff, at least not that he knew of. "Right, okay, well here you go." He pressed play on the recorder.
"I'll meet you in the forest tonight at nine sharp to give you the rest of the payment...yes it's all in cash, I promise to deliver, alright see you tonight" Regina was heard speaking to somebody on the other end.
"Who's she talking to?" Killian asked with a raised eyebrow.
"You guys bugged her office not her phone" Sidney muttered from the corner of the office where he sat watching them for the past two days.
Suddenly everybody turned their heads to see Emma walking in with her scarf half way up her face and Snow fallen on her shoulders. She was shivering after just getting back from walking down the road to get everybody their Christmas presents. "Brr. It's colder than a motherfu..." She noticed how everybody was crowded in one spot around David's desk, "What's going on?"
"We think we got a lead on Regina. Look listen to this." He played the recording to Emma as he seen the smile on her face light up.
"Oh my god, that's amazing! Do we know who she's going to meet?" Emma asked full of excitement that they were finally getting somewhere.
"Uh no, but the only way to find that out is to actually go on a little trip tonight" David suggested.
Killian walked up to Emma, he felt the coldness blowing off her body. "What do you say love? Wanna go on a road trip with me tonight?" He smirked and held out his good hand for her to take.
Emma took his hand and he pulled her flush against him, making her giggle. "I'd be honored to go on a road trip with you tonight" And with that she placed a gentle kiss on his lips, one that got a little out of hand when they heard David clear his throat, making them separate from each other.
"Get a room!" David exclaimed.
Emma laughed, "Sounds familiar." Walking in on David and Mary-margaret making out almost every morning before they were pregnant, it was always her response to them. Now she felt crazy for saying it because she now knew how it felt. "Well Jones, let's get ready to bust this bitch!" Her and Killian both had a chuckle and gave each other one more quick kiss before going and packing up their things. She hid Killian's present in a safe that she had in the corner of her office, she couldn't risk him to find it.
"So, this is what you did in Boston? Sit in a hot car, drinking stale coffee?" Emma laughed as they sat in the darkness a few hundred meters away from Regina's house, waiting for her to make her move. It had been about half an hour since they had arrived, everything seemed pretty quite right now, Regina hadn't moved from her driveway and her and Killian were just making small talk.
Killian took a swig of his coffee and looked at her, "Well not all the time. Sometimes I went undercover as their date, sometimes I would watch from afar and fallow them until the right moment and sometimes it was just like this, except I'd wait for hours for something to happen!" He exclaimed, "Oh, and the coffee was always fresh and...special" He said with a wink as he pulled out a flask with from his jacket.
Emma gasped, "Killian Jones! Drinking on the job!" Emma chuckled before she opened the lid of her drink and moved it towards him where he poured some rum into hers. "Well, this isn't exactly how I planned on tonight going."
"Yeah? How did you want tonight?" He asked with a smirk.
"I wanted to go over to your place, cook you and Henry a nice meal and just spend the rest of the night in your arms" Emma said with a big smile.
Killian smiled back at her, "We can make that happen some other time love." He seen lights from the corner of his eyes, he looked and seen Regina's car leaving the drive way and heading down the road. "Come on, let's go see what Regina is up to."
Emma slowly started driving behind the Mayor, not wanting to get too close and be spotted. As they got out of town and around where there was nothing but trees Emma was starting to feel curious, why did the Mayor have to meet this person in the woods? Why couldn't this person just go to her office and get the money there? Would have made her life a whole lot easier! "Where are you going Madame Mayor?" She whispered to herself as she watched the mayor turn down a road. Emma was started to press on her break to fallow her but she couldn't, something was wrong.
"Swan?" Killian asked worried, why wasn't she stopping. "Slow down!"
"I-I can't! Something's wrong!" Emma tried pressing on the breaks again and again but she wouldn't stop, the car just kept going faster until she crashed into a road sign and up over a small hill on the side of the road. "Shit!" She exclaimed as she jumped out the car and walked to the front.
Killian got down on all fours and looked under the car, he didn't know much about these wagons without horses but he at least knew what the breaks looked like. "Swan, I think Regina found that bug we planted...somebody's been tampering with the breaks." First she tried to kill him and now she was trying to kill Emma, he should of killed her when he had the chance to all those years ago.
"What? Are you serious?" Emma went down and checked for herself. Yup the breaks were cut. "Great! Just fucking great!"
Killian walked up to her and took her in his arms and started swaying around with hr, holding her close. "Hey, don't worry we'll figure this out love." He placed a kiss on her head and pressed it against his chest, letting her listen to his heartbeat. "Remember she can't destroy our happiness"
"It's not about that anymore!" Emma pushed herself off of Killian and started stomping off into the direction that Regina had drove off to, she was going to find her. She flicked on her flashlight so she didn't trip over anything.
"Emma! Wait!" Killian called back, trying to grab her. He didn't want her to get hurt.
Emma ignored him, she didn't want to listen to his sweet words that would just distract her from her mission even more. Punch the women that was trying to kill her friends. "That bitch tried to get me killed, I'm finding her!"
Killian ran in front of Emma, stopping her this time, and making her look in his eyes. "Let's be cautious. We need to think clearly" He tried to tell her softly to clam her down. He knew back in the Enchanted Forest if Emma was starting to get in a bad mood you just had to speak to her calmly and say soothing things to her. The only way he stayed calm was...if Emma was calm.
"To hell with caution! I'm gonna find out what she's doing and why she was out here" Emma said looking around for that bitch.
"She was meeting me!" Mr. Gold stated from behind them as he watched the pirate and princess turn to look at him.
"Why would she be meeting you out here?" Killian asked.
Mr. Gold walked closer to his old enemy, he wanted to kill the imp for so long but if he did...he couldn't find Bae. "The Mayor and I had a little business transaction" Gold said with a grin.
Emma seen the thick black briefcase he was holding and new that was where the money was being held. "What's in the briefcase Gold?"
"Well, I would say you think you know what's inside, but that would just take the fun away from it now, wouldn't it?" Gold said cheekishly. "Nope, Regina bought some land from me actually."
Killian's eyes narrowed. The crocodile let Regina buy his land without some kind of deal? Just money? Wow, that was new. "Wait...you let Regina buy land off of you?"
Gold nodded as his eyes flung to Killian, "Indeed, the very land you're standing on."
"What for?" Killian asked.
"In my business Mr. Jones I find it best not to ask too many questions. Hurts the bottom line," He said with a toothy smirk. "Question is, why are you and your...lover...standing out here in the middle of the night?"
"That is our business Gold!" Emma exclaimed, "Look what she did to Killian, look what she did to Henry...We can't just sit idly by."
Gold smirked again as he looked between the two, "Of course you can. Be careful. Emotional Entanglements can lead us down dangerous paths." He walked past the two and started walking back to his home, he felt the stares he was getting from the two, good he done his job.
"Wait! Emma...Killian, what are you guys planning on doing?"Sidney questioned as he got out the back seat of Emma's bug. When they had gone back to the station to retrieve Emma's car, Sidney was still there and they let him tag along, since their next course in action involved him, since he was the only one who knew Regina's office best and they were going to get in.
"We're going to search her office, mate, and we need your help" Killian explained to him.
Sidney was shocked, how were they planning on doing this. "You're going to break into her office? How are you going to get in? The back door is locked and Regina has a new heavily equipped alarm system!" He tried to explain to him as they walked closer and closer to the building.
"That's exactly why we need you. We know she bought land but we just don't know why. Besides don't worry, I have a way in" Emma said as she strolled on closer to the front doors. He slammed her fist right through the glass, having shards fall back down on the floor on the other side.
"Emma! You just set off the alarm!" Sidney exclaimed, stating off the obvious.
Killian padded the jittery mans shoulder, "And who does the alarm alert? The police, we're the police. So then there's two minutes for her to get a call from the alarm company, one minute to get her coat and keys, three minutes to drive here, we got probably six minutes." They all walked into the building, stepping over the glass and walking over to her office.
Sidney rushed into her office and grabbed her laptop that was placed neatly on her desk. He opened it up and turned it on as Emma plugged in a flash drive and multiple windows appeared with codes and files named land, castle, transaction request, and Gold.
Emma smiled, "I just uncovered every hidden file referencing towards Gold's land."
"That's my girl, I knew you could do it!" Killian exclaimed as he placed a quick kiss on her lips.
"Alright guys, sometimes there's the right moment for those sort of things, and right now is not the time" Sidney told them.
Killian looked over at Sidney, the poor man, he never got love. "Hey, look, it's all printing!" Killian noticed all the papers coming out from the printer and then started to open up drawers, when he came here, there was only one thing on his mind, the book. He opened the top drawer to a filing cabinet and ended up finding skull keys. "Emma, look." He showed them to her and she scrunched up her face.
"The hell do those open?" She asked as Killian shrugged and just threw them back into the cabinet.
"Alright! I got everything, now lets get the hell out of here before Regina finds out!" Sidney exclaimed rushed over to the doors, wanting to get out.
Killian rushed over to another cabinet and started searching through them, "No! Not till I found Henry's book!"
Emma looked back over to him, "Killian we don't even know if she has it, trust me I want to find this book as much as you do, but that doesn't mean we need to stay here any longer then what we came here for..we need to go." She tried to pull him with her but he was too strong, it was like he lifted heavy metal for hundreds of years, every day.
"Love, trust me, she has this book, she's wanted it ever since she even knew about it" Killian explained to her, not giving up on his search.
"What is so special about this book? It's just fairy tales!" Emma exclaimed, "Come on, before..." And before everybody knew it, Regina was rushing in to shut off her alarm and turn on the lights, she instantly noticed the three of them.
"Sheriff! Deputy...Sidney, what are you doing here?" Regina asked as she crossed her arms and looked across at all of the people standing in her office.
Emma had to make of a lie fast, which is why she made one before she even got here, in case things did back fire and they were caught. That's why she let Sidney come along with them. "A group of teenagers were found trying to break in so I came as fast as I could to thoroughly check to see if they stole anything" Emma lied.
"And did they?" Regina asked sarcastically, knowing that his was all a joke, "What's he doing here then?" She pointed over to Sidney who still seemed frightened.
"He saw everything that happened, so he was a witness" Killian added in.
Regina nodded, "And what is it that you exactly saw Sidney?"
Sidney's eyes widened, he didn't think he would be put on the spot like this, "I saw teenager, they had a uh..." He couldn't think of anything.
"A rock" Emma said, "You sure you don't want us to take the place apart?"
"Sheriff, deputy, your services are not wanted nor needed, you may go" Regina explained in a serious voice as she looked the women up and down.
Emma nodded as she walked out with Killian and Sidney behind her. They got what they came for and that's all that matters, she was happy, she was finally getting something to put that bitch in her place. Serves her right for trying to kill both Killian and her and destroying what Henry loved.
"Well, Swan, what do you say? Go home and rest up...we got a big day tomorrow!" Killian said with a smirk as he got into the passenger side.
Emma smiled, yeah, a big day of revealing Regina to the town. "Yeah, sounds good." She dropped of Sidney at Granny's where he said he wanted to go, probably because he wanted to get drunk again and then she drove her and Killian to his small house by the Ocean. She decided to stay the night. Nothing happened! She slept in Killian's bed with Henry in the bed next to her and Killian slept over on the couch. He had a hard time falling asleep but when he finally did he dreamed of wooden planks and a sail, hopefully they would return back or at least he'd get his Jolly Roger back.
The next morning Emma woke up with Killian already dressed and ready, he was just waiting for her to wake up. She didn't need to change her clothes, she slept in the outfit she had worn yesterday, not exactly planning to spend the night here. "Mmmm, good morning handsome" Emma moaned as she stretched her muscles, the best part about waking up.
Killian smiled as he walked over to her and placed a kiss on her head and handed her a coffee to wake her up with, "Good morning beautiful."
She looked to the bed next to her where Henry was when she fell asleep and now he wasn't there. "Where's Henry?" She asked knowing it was till too early for school to start as she took the coffee and took a drink almost having to spit it out, "Does everything you drink have rum in it?" She felt how the concoction warmed up her belly and throat as she swallowed it, and it wasn't just from the coffee.
"Every pirate needs his rum" He said with a chuckle as he watched Emma through the blankets over her legs and get out of bed, stretched once again, "And Henry wanted to go to Mary-Margaret's today, before he left for school."
"Right, well come on, we need to go see Sidney down at the station to go review everything we printed off last night." She got out of bed and was walking over to the door to put her boots back on when she noticed Killian hadn't moved from his spot on the bed, "Everything okay?"
Killian nodded, "Just wish we could finally have Regina stop running after us over everything we do, I really want to spend some time for just me and you."
She walked back over to him and stood in front of his sitting body as she wrapped her arms around his neck, "I really wish we could have that too, and we will. After today this will all be over with, hopefully Regina wouldn't want to show her face around town and then next week is Christmas and there's that party at Granny's, I'll spend the night so we can watch Henry open presents together, alright."
"Alright Swan, better than nothing." He kissed her softly one last time, making sure this kiss lasted a little longer than they were use to, "Come on, let's get going before Sidney get's tired of waited." And with that they both left the house.
Killian and Emma finally made it to the sheriff station and when they did they had already seen David and Sidney looking through all the freshly printed papers from last night. "So what do we got?" Emma asked walked up behind the two men as Killian fallowed from behind.
"Blueprints, Transaction letters" David said as he handed her papers.
She looked down at the papers and lined them together, they were blueprints to something large, something big like a castle but not exactly a castle, a mansion maybe. "What is she building out there?"
"Who knows, but that doesn't matter because he got her. These papers have her name all over it for her personal use" Killian pointed out.
"Yeah you got her, congratulations you're finally going to get what you wanted, show the town who she really is" David said with a smile up at her.
Emma's eyes narrowed at that, she did, and she was happy, but she did it the same way Regina would have. She walked over to Killian's desk and propped herself up on it sighing.
"What's wrong, didn't you hear me?" David asked.
Emma looked down at Killian who was sitting in his chair, "We stooped to her level, it's fruit of the poisonous tree, illegally obtained evidence, it'll get thrown out in court in a heartbeat."
Killian placed a hand on her knee, "We don't need her to go to court, like Sidney said, what she did to us, to Henry, she does to everyone, we just want the town to see who she really is and hopefully she won't want to show her face around town after today's counsel meeting."
Sidney sighed as he opened up a box that was next to him, he took out another smaller box and handed it over to Emma, the box read sheriff. "Here, she made me fallow you guys around."
She looked up at Sidney and opened up the box. Inside was stacked with thousands of pictures of her, Killian and Henry. Times they spent at Granny's at his castle, walking on main street, even the time when her and Killian had their first kiss inside the station. Immediately she showed Killian who got just as big of a pissed off face as she had.
"It's what she does, she finds out what people love and destroys it. She knew about Henry's castle weeks ago, she knew about you two weeks ago, she was just waiting for the perfect moment to act so it would hurt you and Henry the most. I'm sorry, I should have said something. If you don't do this, I have to" Sidney explained to them.
Emma looked through the pictures once again, every time she spent with Killian and Henry in the last month was all here...everything, she was never truly alone with them, they always had Sidney looking down their backs fallowing them and watching everything they did. No wonder Killian just all of a sudden got into the car accident right when she and him weren't at their best and shortly after destroys Henry's castle and most likely hired that man to take his book.
"This session of the Storybrooke city counsel will come to order!" Regina shouted through the room filled with counsel members and citizens as she banged her gavel, "We will begin by reading the minutes from our last meeting."
"Excuse me Madame Mayor, I'd like to bring something forward to the counsels attention" Killian shouted as he stood up from his seat and stood down the aisle that sat the two groups of perfectly aliened chairs.
Regina sighed, "Deputy, this is not an open forum."
"Actually Madame Mayor...he's not the only one with a complaint!" Emma shouted, standing up as well with Sidney behind her and holding Killian's hand firmly.
And then there were three Regina thought. "Ms. Swan...Deputy...Sidney, this counsel meeting is to disgust the issues facing Storybrooke."
"Oh sorry about that lass, but have you ever thought that maybe we have an issue to disgust. Like the mayor stealing thousands of dollars from the city to build herself a luxury home in the woods?" Killian spoke up, holding the file of papers that he had in his hands, making the crowd all around the room start talking and whispering to each other.
Regina's eyes went wide and started hitting her gavel to calm down the room. "You three will sit down immediately or god help me -"
"Or what? You'll punish us? You'll bully us like you do to everybody in this town?" Emma asked taking the papers from Killian and walking closer to where Regina sat upfront. "No. Not today. In my hand, is the proof that your trusted mayor has taken out fifty thousand dollars, documents about how she stole money to build herself a mansion!" Emma shouted so the whole room could hear, once again whispers started to be heard around the room.
"I can't believe the Mayor would do such a thing."
"Really? I'm not very surprised."
"Why would Madame Mayor do this?"
Killian walked up to the front of the room beside Emma, looking out at all the people. "And thisreporter, Sidney, the towns main reporter in The Mirror was only fired because he tried to stand up to her, because he questioned her...and she didn't like it. We all know what happens to people that question the Mayor" He then turned to face Regina herself, "And you! Oh you...your majesty. You claim you take in the best interest of all of us when really you don't, the only thing you care about is yourself and destroying others! That is who you really are and it's time for Storybrooke to see who their Mayor really is."
Regina smirked as she watched the pirate look at her with his cold dark eyes and threatening look. They made her look back, now it was her turn to make them look bad. "You're right, I am building myself a house - A play house, a place where all the kids of Storybrooke can have fun and play safely." She stood up and pressed a button on a small remote making an image of a small playground appear. "I got the idea from an illustration in a book that I seen."
Murmurs were heard around the room on how good of a Mayor was with how she was watching the safety of all the children in the town and was trying to make something fun for them to do in such a small town.
"Congratulations Miss Swan and Mr Jones, you finally showed the people of Storybrooke who I really am" She said with a smirk.
Emma stood still with her face down to the ground, she was so embarrassed, she just went in front of the entire town! the entire town to prove a point and they entire time she was wrong! She thought she was showing the Regina only cared about herself because she bought land from Gold where she was building herself an even bigger home than what she already had but instead all she showed was that she was a moron sheriff that clearly didn't look into her facts a little deeper. her feelings clouded her judgment.
"It's alright love, we'll get her sometimes" Killian whispered so only she could her as he brushed her arm.
Emma shook her head, "Come on, let's go." And with that she exited out of City Hall with Killian and Sidney in tow.
Regina watched as the three left and as everybody was in their own conversations about the new play ground Regina ran after them, it was her turn to speak. "Miss Swan, Deputy Jones! May I speak with you for a moment..alone" She looked over to Sidney who was standing there as he walked off to his own little corner. "Look, I don't know what you two were trying to prove in there, but now I hope you'll each get back to your jobs with upholding the law and not breaking it. You don't think I know you broke into my office last night?"
"Don't even start that! You're not so innocent yourself Regina! You messed with the brakes on my sheriff car!"
Regina scuffed, how dare this bitch use her first name against her, "Your brakes? Are you delusional, Why would I want to kill you when you just witnessed that I had nothing to hide?"
"Nothing we can prove yet, but believe me, I know who you really are Madame Mayor, and some day, you wont have a cover story or an excuse, it'll be just you!" Killian told her.
"Well until that moment comes deputy I hope it's actually proven before you throw it my way!"
"Oh trust me lass, it will and next time, it wont end so pretty for you!" Killian spat back to the Queen before he wrapped his arm around Emma's waist and started walking away from her, wanting to have the last word.
August pulled out an old shoe box from under his bed at Granny's, he didn't want anybody to come in his room and find what he had. He placed the box on the old pine desk that was up against the wall and when he opened it, that when he seen it, the most beautiful thing ever. He wanted to cry, he finally had it in his hands. He began to read it out loud "Once Upon A Time..."
Please Review follow and favourite, this is the longest chapter that i've ever worked on so I hope that it's good
