Chapter 34
(At the hospital Emma, Henry and Neal run into the hospital and straight to the reception)
Neal: My dad was brought in, he was stabbed with a knife.
Receptionist: Name
Neal: Rumplestiltskin.
Receptionist: Through those doors, down the corridor and second on your left.
Emma: Thank you
(They go to where they were told and see Belle staring through a window looking at the Doctors milling around her fiancé and tears streaming down her face)
Neal: What have the Doctor's said?
Belle: Nothing yet
Emma: They're probably just trying to work out if the knife has hit a major nerve or blood vessel before they remove it.
Henry: Will grandpa be ok?
Neal: I hope so
(Half an hour later Dr Whale/Frankenstein comes out of the room)
Belle: Is he ok, have you removed the knife yet?
Frankenstein: He's lost a lot of blood, but he's stable at the minute, we're just about to take him for a test to see how far the knife has penetrated and see whether or not its near any major vessels before removing it.
Neal: How long will it take for the results of that test?
Frankenstein: Oh they're instantaneous, he goes into the scanner which then transmits what has been scanned to a computer where I'll be able to see what's going on.
Belle: You will keep us informed, won't you?
Frankenstein: Of course, we're just about to take him now, and we'll be back in 20 minutes.
(Rumplestiltskin is wheeled out of the room)
Rumplestiltskin: Belle
Belle: I'm here
Rumplestiltskin: I love you
Belle: And I love you, I promise, me Neal, Henry and Emma will be right here when you get back from your scan.
(Rumplestiltskin is wheeled into the elevator when Regina comes through the door)
Regina: Where are they taking him?
Emma: For a scan
Neal: What did you do with Cora and Hook?
Regina: I reinforced their cells, so that even the strongest of sorcerers couldn't escape.
Emma: But Cora will find a way, she's an evil conniving person.
Regina: Believe me Miss Swan, I know.
Henry: Why don't you drain her magic, or send her to another land?
Emma: Or both
Neal: Yes, that way she won't be able to hurt anyone ever again.
Regina: Draining her magic will be fairly easy, but sending her away will be harder, much harder, I don't know how to access another world without a bean.
Belle: You mean like one of these
(Belle then pulls a small box out of her bag containing three magical beans)
Emma: Belle, how did you get hold of those?
Belle: When I was travelling through the forest, I came across a plantation of these and wanting to find out what they were, I hung around and eavesdropped, then when I found out what they were, I stole these three before I was found.
Neal: We could use two of those to send Cora and Hook to different worlds so they won't find each other and then use the other one to grow our own plantation.
Regina: Then that is what we'll do, get rid of them both forever.
