Chapter 2

I was sitting in my office, reading the newspaper, which seemed uneventful when I heard the news first. People from the outside had finally came into town. I haven't seen them yet, but I had a feeling I would sooner or later. Just then, two men came in, followed by a woman, followed by Dean.

My heart stopped.

I put my newspaper down on my desk, and rose. "Are you all crazy?" I asked.

"Emma," Dean began. "Why did you come here?" I asked.

"It's not…" I trailed.

"I came because, you wouldn't listen to me on the phone." He spat, staring at me angrily. He walked straight over to my desk. "Well, you all can't be here." I said. "What do you mean, we can't be here?" the older man asked.

"Emma, this is Bobby, Bobby this is Emma." Dean introduced. I smiled, politely, and nodded my head.

"Things happen here, that cannot be explained, realistically, if you were to see them and leave and spread rumors about this town, I'd have to literally kill you all." I threatened.

The younger one smiled and laughed.

"What's so funny?" I asked.

"You secretly dated her for three years, Dean, and you never trusted her with your career?" He asked. "Sam!" Dean argued.

Just then, Henry ran in, Pongo following close behind. "Mom, there's an emergency!" He cried. "What emergency?" I asked, following him. I followed him into the building of Archie. Dean and his crew were right behind me. We stopped in front of his office, and Pongo jumped up on the door and clawed at it.

"Pongo, what's wrong?" I asked.

"Something's wrong." Henry replied, looking up at me, with pleading eyes. I knocked on the door.

"Archie? It's me, Emma, open up!" I shouted. But, no one opened the door. I looked to Henry. I opened the door. We walked inside. The office was a mess, and Archie was found on the floor unconscious. I bent over to check his pulse.

"He's dead." I muttered. I looked over to see Henry in tears, the woman was holding him back, letting him cry on her shoulder. I rose to my feet and walked over to Dean. "Help me move him out of here, please." I whispered, quietly

He only nodded. "Can you please get him out of here?" I asked the woman. The woman nodded, and tried to steer him out of the room. I grabbed his feet, while Dean grabbed his torso. "No," He said. "I can do this."

I frowned, but backed off. I called David and Mary Margaret and told them of the news. They came directly to the station. When they Dean and the crew, they were shocked. "They are not going to leave, easily, so…let's just get this discussion over with." I replied.

They took the chairs in front of me. "So, they know, right…if they are with you?" Mary Margaret asked. I looked to the group, and all Dean did was cross his chest. "No, she didn't." Dean replied.

"This is a very special place, some unexplainable things happen, and I just want to know, if you can take it, when it starts, because there will be no turning back." David said.

"If you knew us, you'd know that we're used to crazy." Sam replied.

David sighed, and turned back to me. "Who could have killed Archie Hopper?" David asked. "Don't know, no one really dislikes Archie." I replied, thinking. "Ruby saw Regina arguing with him." Mary Margaret replied.

I looked up and immediately shook my head. "Regina wouldn't kill Archie, not when she's wanting Henry back, why would she do such a thing?" I asked.

"Power? Making a statement? I don't know, but we do have a statement." David replied. I rose to my feet, and headed to the bars. "I don't think Regina did it, you're more than welcome to bring her in for questioning, but I won't be apart of that." I said.

"Why?" Mary Margaret asked.

"Because I'm trying to believe that she can be good." I replied. The couple then left, probably going to round up Regina and bring her in. Dean looked at me, as if I was crazy or something. "You had a chance to leave." I retorted. He frowned. "That's not what I meant," He replied.

"Then what do you mean, Dean?" I asked. "One moment you're saying you don't want me in your life, and the next you're saying you do."

"Can you guys give us a minute?" He asked the crew behind him. They slowly left the station, leaving me and Dean alone.
