(A/N: LOVING THE REVIEWSSSSSS! Sorry I wasn't able to update sooner, I had a lot of tests and projects for school. We're doing a 'flour baby' unit currently. It sucks.I have the bring a 5 lb. bag of flour with me everywhere and take pictures for some scrapbook. Embarrassment central. Now, I've kept you long enough, onto the story...)
Mr. Gold wasn't near the front desk of the hospital. I knew he was still with Belle, so I didn't want to bother him (or possibly evoke his wrath, I mean, this is the dark one we're talking about). I was kind of surprised when I saw Ruby walking towards me.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" I asked.
"Oh, just stopped by to say hello to Dr. Whale, you know, see how he's doing."
"How is he doing?"
"Oh, he's fine. It's good to see him undisturbed."
"Definitely."
"Well, see you around Emma."
"Yeah, bye Red."
After waiting for about five minutes I was started to get seriously annoyed. Why was this guy taking so long? So instead of standing up like I was before, I sat down. But as soon as my butt touched the couch, Jefferson came and planted himself next to me.
"Hey, so I was wondering, are you free this Saturday night?"
"No," I replied.
"Sunday?"
"No."
"Anytime soon?"
"I don't know. But either way, the answer is no."
"Aw, come on, don't be that way. I wasn't asking you for a date. I wanted to know if you and Henry could come over for dinner. Grace has wanted Henry to visit her for a while, so I figured I should invite you guys over."
"I'm going on a trip, and I don't know when I'll be back. I don't want to make any plans."
"Yeah, I understand. Call me when you get back?"
"Yeah, sure," I said even though I had no intention of doing so.
Our little conversation was interrupted by a nurse that I recognized as one who had been looking over the Captain.
"Have you seen Mr. Jones?" she asked frantically.
"No I haven't seen him. What happened?" I asked. I saw Jefferson out of the corner of my eye leave the hospital.
"He just disappeared. I was only out of the room for a couple seconds, and then he was gone. I'm worried that he is injured, he took quite a tumble last night," she said.
That's when Gold finally showed up. I had a bad feeling.
"Emma, let's go." He had a murderous look in his eyes.
"Wait, Mr. Gold, do you know where Killian went?"
He hesitated for a second. "No, has something happened."
"Yeah," I said. I was suspicious. It wasn't like Mr. Gold was always innocent, and Captain Idiot did do everything but kill Mr. Gold's girlfriend. Seriously bad move.
"Well, I hope he is okay, it's about time we go, though Emma."
I nodded my head at the nurse to say goodbye, and I followed Gold out. I felt like asking him about Hook again, but I decided to hold my tongue. He wasn't in the best mood, and I kind of didn't want him to kill my family or whatever he threatened earlier.
We climbed into the car once again. I was silent, he was silent, the only thing that wasn't silent was the car, which made a low hum. I figured it would be a good time to voice my question.
"Where are we going anyways?"
"New York City."
