AN: Here's the next chapter! Hope you enjoy it! :)


It had been six weeks. Six weeks since he was forced to watch Bae be ripped away from him once again. Six weeks that he had endured a second nightmare. Six weeks since he'd seen his son's floofy hair and big smiles. Six long weeks. Well at least it was better than three years at least.

Focusing on the reminder that Bae was alive and well made working easier, his motivation renewed. He knew he wouldn't be able to force another visit out of Hook or Regina, if he wanted to see Bae again he was going to have to impress Cora. It was with that in mind that he was now pushing working eighteen hours straight. More often than not now Hook had to force him to stop working. Even then when he was forced to his room and locked in he was still mentally going through numbers and figures. That way when he was finally able to work again he was already three steps ahead of where he had been before. Things would have been going great if he hadn't had to listen to Hook's constant prattling.

For six weeks he had been forced to listen to Hook go on and on about some new bird visiting The Heart. He heard all about the pretty little brunette who was capturing everyone's interest, everyone but him. Gold couldn't care less about one more person working for Cora. Hook didn't see to care however that his prisoner had no interest in his new favorite topic. Even now he was going on about how everyone, even Regina, had taken a shine to the new girl. "I don't care Hook."

"What was that Crocodile?"

"I don't care about who your guys have brought into the fold. I don't care about the relationships they have with others. I care about one thing and one thing only and it sure as hell isn't some new girl."

Hook shucked and sat himself on the design of the anti-tank weapon Gold was working on, forcing him to stop and pay attention to him. "Funny you would say that Crocodile seeing that it was your boy that made Regina trust our new friend."

Well that caught Gold's attention for sure. What did his boy have to do with this new girl? From what Bae had told him six weeks ago his boy only had direct contact with Regina, his teacher Miss Blue and very rarely Cora herself. What could have changed in six weeks to have allowed this new girl to see his son? "What does Bae have to do with this?"

"Apparently your son decided to try and escape, knocked Regina out cold with his lunch tray and everything. He got pretty far, might have been successful too...if it hadn't been for our new friend. She caught him escaping and was going to turn him into Cora when Regina found them. She tossed Bae back to her like he was trash she wanted to get rid of. Regina was rather impressed by her, apparently she's taken the girl under her wing. And she has your son to thank."

So his son could have been free? He had almost been out when this new girl had sent him back to his prison guard. "What's her name?"

"I thought you didn't care about her?"

"Just tell me her name Hook."

Hook gave him another one of his cruel smirks, "Belle French."

Belle French. Looks like he had another name to add to his list of people he despised. If this girl could send his innocent boy back to hell then she was not better than the ones who took him in the first place. She could rot in hell right along side Cora and the rest of them.


Please tell me what you think. :)
