For two days Killian has been locked up in a cell, somewhere in the Cannery. Ever since he heard their plan to hurt and go after Emma he lost it. Emma didn't deserve it they were going to hurt her, not if he could help it Crocodile be damned he would always chose her, always Emma swan. They said to him that it was too important to capture the Savior for their 'science' which ever that is. He just sat there trying to break free to save her, protect her from them or any which harm. It all started at the beanstalk when he mended to her wound, the unspoken words he saw it there in her eyes. Abandonment. She saw it too in his eyes, she didn't want to talk about her pain and couldn't handle being let down again by someone.
Killian was sitting down panting, from trying for the umpteenth trying to get free. When he heard it 'Emma', it started out with her screaming then it got louder, he knew what was happening she was in that machine he started to feel it full on a rush, threw out his body. "Emma" he got up and went to the cell door shaking it very roughly trying to get it open. "NO, Not Emma, all she did was help people,even if they didn't deserve it" in his head he added 'like me' he went down to the floor of the cell slightly giving up "I will save you Emma, I will make sure no hurts you again" he started silently crying and fell asleep wishing hoping, for his hope back.
Snow woke up that morning on a mission, she was going to find her daughter if it was the last thing she did. They didn't even have breakfast, they went straight to Grannies to hold a council meeting, which they haven't held in about 28 years give per take. When they got there , maps were all over the place people were on phones, talking, working, search teams were sent out every hour. Henry was there with Neal, Neal was a mess he looked like he got no sleep at all had a bunch of coffee cups next to him which were empty, he was spread out on a map of storybrooke finally passed out. Henry ran up to his grandparents with tears in his little eyes hugging them like his life depended on it, he didn't let go.
"Oh, Henry we are so sorry" snow said rubbing his tears away, just like in the nursery. David rubbed his back "We will find her buddy, family.."
"Always find one another, I know you told me that" he said through his tears. They hugged each other again one more time. They all sat in a booth together, they weren't a family now, not without Emma.
"Henry how long has your dad been here" Snow asked worried to her grandson. "All night he didn't give up, and every time someone told him to rest or eat something he just ignored them" Henry exclaimed defeated and tired.
Snow walked over to where Neal was sleeping and touched his shoulder, he didn't wake she shook him "Neal". He shot up ready to tell off whoever woke him to tell them he would not rest until Emma was safe home. Then he saw it was Emma's Mother snow "Snow I am sorry I should have believed emma when she told me about Tamara" Neal looked at her almost in tears apologizing that she may never see Emma again after finally getting her back after 28 years apart.
Mary Margaret looked at the man Emma loved, and saw on his face regret, love, hopelessness, pain, betral, and underneath a scared little boy who wanted and missed her daughter just as much as she does. She rushed to him and gave him a hug, they had something in common they didn't believe someone they loved and now they are in danger.
They separated and Neal began " All night I have thought of ways to find Emma, since the search parties were coming back empty" Snow and David started to listen to him wanting to know. "I have tried ever option except one.. My Father" Neal waited for their reaction to object, but it didn't come they wanted Emma back so much they didn't even care what it cost them. "Okay let's go, Neal are you sure you want to ask your father" The truth is that he really didn't especially after this morning with the kiss my boot incident but he wanted to find Emma no matter what it took. "I don't care as long as I find Emma, I will find Emma, I will always find her" He stormed out of the diner heading toward the pawn shop. Snow and Charming's eyebrows shot up, they knew what that phrase meant in their family. They asked Red to watch henry, who didn't want to stay but after Red persuaded him by promising to show him the meat looker with wolf marks all over it, which did the trick. They followed Neal to the Dark one's Shop.
They followed Neal into Golds shop, the bell sounded. Gold came from behind the curtain with a clearly not lacey but Belle. He looked to them sadly because he knew what had happened, especially when he saw his sons face.
"They have Emma Papa, and we need your help in any way you can" Bae stepped up to his father begging with tears in his eyes. "I'm so sorry Bae, I can't help you because where ever they are is protected by something that blocks magic" There faces dropped. "However, I can use a mirror to see where Emma is and what is going on, but not a location. I'm sorry" he lead them to the back room where a big mirror was that was as tall as a person's height.
He waved his hand over it to activate it. "for the person you wish to appear on the screen you must share a memory with that person to see them" Gold looked to the three, trying to see who would volunteer. "I'll do it, I know the exact memory, I want to use" Neal said to his father, he went up to the mirror and touched it. Memories of them in Portland and when they first meet came up on the mirror and then in a flash they disappeared and showed.. "Emma"
