(AN: Wow, thank you for your reviews and favorites! Responses at the end of the chapter! Also, I might find a way to fit Moriarty in here, so if any of you have a name for him, that would be great.)

Looking for Henry

Adrian was not surprised when he was called to the Mayor's house that night.

As Storybrooke's only Consulting Detective– in fact, the world's only Consulting Detective– Sherriff Graham usually came to him when he couldn't figure out a case, which was often. Adrian walked there, enjoying the sound of silence. There had never been any crickets in Storybrooke– or many bugs at all– and Adrian usually attributed it to the large number of birds that Mary Margaret kept outside the school building. After the run-in with Henry that morning…

Of course, the "Curse" was too insane to be real. Also, Henry had been in several psychiatry appointments recently (that was far too easily deduced), so it was probable that he was also mad. But still, Adrian couldn't shake the picture from Henry's storybook out of his head. It had looked just like him… and now that he thought about it, nobody he knew had ever successfully left the town, not that they'd wanted to. The only exception was Regina, when she had left to adopt Henry, but she had come back.

But the curse wasn't real; it was just a fairytale, like the ones Adrian grew up on. Or had he grown up on? He remembered barely anything about his childhood, except for his older brother, Kingsley, being a prat. Henry hadn't mentioned him, but Adrian hadn't read the pages yet so he couldn't be sure if Henry had forgotten or not. Where was Kingsley? Now that he thought about it, the Consulting Detective hadn't seen his brother in a long while. Finally, Adrian just put the question in the back of his Mind Palace and proceeded walking.

Once he reached the Mayor's house, he walked right inside. "You left the door unlocked." he announced as he walked in.

Regina Mills glanced at him from the kitchen table, where she was nervously setting out a bowl of apples. "You could have knocked." she pointed out.

Adrian shrugged. "Dull."

Graham looked at him from the table, his hands clasped together nervously. "Good. You're here. Do you know anything about where the boy's gone?"

"I have no idea." Adrian shrugged, sitting opposite the Sheriff. "Why don't you ask his mother?"

"If I knew where he went," Regina started pacing the kitchen, "I wouldn't have you here, now would I?"

Adrian didn't feel like challenging the mayor, so decided to deduce her instead. Previously married or engaged, husband/fiancé died early on, blames somebody, father died a few years ago, mother missing, constantly looking for love... He glanced at Graham. Ah... Nothing new.

"Is there anywhere he goes when upset?" Graham asked.

"If there is, I wouldn't know." Regina responded.

"Clubhouse of his, probably by the water." Adrian muttered, but the other two either didn't hear or didn't care.

"The point is, he's gone." Regina said to them. "If he left on a bus, he could be as far away as Boston by now."

Actually, he's probably on his way back.

"Do you think any of his friends know anything?"

"He doesn't have friends, Sheriff. And if he did, they would've informed me. You know that they've all been scared of me since the first grade."

"Have they?" Adrian asked.

"Could he be at therapy?" Graham asked.

"Hopper said that he missed his session today." Regina responded.

"Think he could be in the forest?"

"Please. He knows far better than to go in there."

"So you think he left town."

"He's been under the impression that I'm an Evil Queen, and he's probably trying to get as far away as he can. I just figured that–"

"Why don't we ask Adrian?" Graham interrupted. He turned to the Detective. "You've been uncharacteristically quiet. You like to... correct us. Anything to say?"

Adrian listened for a moment. Leaning back in his chair, he held up three fingers. Slowly, he put one down. After a second, he put down another one. A second after that, he used the remaining finger to point to the door.

The sound of a car driving up came to everyone's attention.

Regina stood up hurriedly. Thanking Adrian and Graham for their time, she ran out to the door to greet her son.

Graham stared at Adrian for a bit. "How did you know that?"

"Wouldn't you like to know." Adrian stood up. "I'm going out the back. You might want to go after the mayor."

With that, he walked out, leaving a very confused sheriff behind him.

(AN: Elsa Frost asked,

"Who is your favorite Disney Villain and Disney Villain's song and favorite Non-Disney Villain and Song, although most of the Non-Disney villains don't have songs, [but] a few do."

Well, that was a very long sentence, but my favorite Disney anything is usually from Frozen, but without spoiling that I have to say my favorite villain is Maleficent, because you never know anything about her or the extent of her powers or really if she even dies at the end, but yet she's just so darn awesome. My favorite Disney Villain Song is "Be Prepared." [Who's isn't?] My favorite Non-Disney villain is probably Nightmare Moon from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Yeah, I know that I'm a fan of both Sherlock and My Little Pony, but to its defense, MLP is still very well-written. And Nightmare Moon is awesome. And my favorite Non-Disney Villain song… again from MLP, but "This Day Aria." Does that count? I know Cadence sings in it, but Chrysalis is also in there. The song is just so good and I don't know why… but if you want to see it, just watch the video. And there is a YouTube video of the scene.)
