Regina shot up like a bullet in bed. "Oh my God!" she exclaimed. "Are you serious?"
Henry immediately sat up beside her, and she heard the rustling of covers across the room. She knew she had woken both of her hotel-mates. "What? What?" Snow asked, sounding panicked.
Regina pressed both hands to her face. "Ohhhh, God. We are so stupid."
"What?" Snow repeated, the urgency obvious in her voice.
"There's a mental hospital at Mount Sinai. St. Luke's. Emma never left."
"What!" cried out Snow upon hearing Regina's revelation. "Then why the hell did we leave?!"
"I don't know; I don't know; I don't know!" Regina said violently, waving her hands around in the air.
Snow looked over at Regina in the dark. "Do you think Emma told them to tell us she left?"
Regina nodded her head and pressed her eyes shut. "Yep."
"And we fell for it?"
Regina nodded again. "Yep."
"We're going back tomorrow," Snow declared.
"Yep," Regina and Henry agreed in unison.
The three of them had a silent celebration. For the first time, they actually felt like they were getting one step closer to Emma and not two steps further away.
Snow silently reminded herself to notify David.
