Emma tried to tell herself that she was being ridiculous. Regina probably had a very good reason for missing lunch and not telling her. Right?

Then again, they had made a deal with each other. They were both new at this relationship thing, and had agreed to let each other know if they needed to cancel anything. Two insecure women in a relationship. What could go wrong?

Emma shook her head and got out of the booth. Something was wrong. She could feel it. Regina would never just stand her up. Would she?

"Emma?" Ruby called from behind the counter. "Are you okay? You look like something's on your mind."

"I'm fine," Emma said, walking to the door of the diner. "Just feel like there's trouble coming." She left the diner before Ruby could say anything else, but ran right into her mother. Literally.

"Emma!" Snow said happily. Then she noticed the expression on Emma's face. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"No, nothing happened," Emma said quickly. "Just have a bad gut feeling is all."

"You're going to have to try harder than that," David said. "We're your parents, we'll always know when something's wrong."

Emma sighed. "Regina didn't show up for lunch, and every time that I've called her it's just rung until I get voicemail. Something doesn't feel right."

"She would never ignore you like that," Snow agreed. "Or stand you up. That's too unlike her."

David nodded. "You're right, something has to be up. Have you stopped by her house yet to see if she's at home?"

Emma shook her head. "That's where I was headed next."

"You check there, and I'll check her vault," David said. "Snow, you can check her office. We will find her. And who knows, maybe she just got caught up at work and didn't even realize what time it was or that you were calling her."

After checking each of those places and still finding no trace of Regina, all three of them met in the forest to search. With each passing minute, Emma was growing more and more concerned. Something had happened.

Henry was over with Violet, and Emma had made sure to put a barrier around the house sealed with blood magic. Hopefully it wasn't needed, but better safe than sorry.

David and Snow had taken the right and left paths into the forest, leaving Emma in the middle. As far as she knew, the middle path didn't go anywhere. Or so she thought.

Shielding her eyes from the blaring sun, Emma saw a piece of paper stuck to a tree up ahead. She jogged to it; silently praising whatever power was above that she had possibly found a clue as to where Regina would be.

Stopping in front of the tree, Emma gasped. The piece of paper had nothing on it but an arrow pointing at the ground. Looking down, Emma nearly fainted. Regina's phone was lying in the grass, as well as the necklace that Emma had bought her for her birthday.

Emma pulled out her phone, quickly calling David and then Snow to her location. They both ran to her, each of them looking sadly at Regina's possessions on the ground.

"What does this mean?" Emma asked. "Does someone have her?"

David shrugged. "I have no idea. Maybe you can do a locator spell on her phone and find where she is. That might help."

Emma nodded before picking up the necklace and sticking it into her pocket. She bent back down and picked up the phone, turning the power on and smiling at the background of Regina's phone. A picture of her, Henry, and Regina at Snow's birthday party smiled back at her.

David wrapped his arm around Emma's shoulders. "We will find her. It's in our Charming blood. No one that we love ever gets away from us."

Emma smiled gratefully at him. "Then let's find her."

The trio followed Regina's phone as it flew in front of them. In a matter of minutes, they were in a part of town that they had never known ever existed. Then again, Regina could have created it in case she needed to get away after the curse had broken and everyone had their memories.

The phone stopped in front of a cottage, floating to the ground and resting there. "She has to be in there," Emma said, reaching down and picking up the phone.

"Wait," David said, grabbing Emma's arm as she went to walk into the cottage. "You can't just barge in. We don't know who this is that's hiding her, or what they want."

"He's right," Snow jumped in, seeing Emma's hesitation. "You have to ambush your enemy. Waltzing in isn't the way to go. Let's scope out the territory first."

Emma reluctantly nodded, following Snow and David around the back of the cottage. "Bingo," David whispered, pointing at a window that was wide open. "Even criminals make mistakes."

He and Snow helped lift Emma safely through the window. "Be careful," Snow whispered. "Don't do anything rash."

Emma just nodded and walked deeper into the cottage. The window that she had climbed through had been in the kitchen, and the hallway outside of the kitchen led directly to the living room at the front of the house.

Around the corner was a bedroom, and the sight inside left Emma speechless. Regina was tied on the bedposts, her mouth gagged. She could move her legs, but that didn't really do her any good.

Emma quickly crossed the room and took the gag out of Regina's mouth. "Who did this to you?"

"Zelena," Regina said. "You have to get me out of here before she comes back."

"Of course," Emma said. She reached to untie one of Regina hands, but was met with just the bedpost. She looked down in surprise at where Regina had just been. What had happened?

"Hello Savior," Zelena purred, stepping into the room. "How nice to see you. Now we can have a proper chat."
