WARNING: Character death!

It was very late that night when Emma came home, trying not to make any noise as she knew that Regina would have put their children in bed. She was hurting all over and decided to take a bath like every time she came back from Jack's.

She was barely in the water, when there was knock on the door. Emma groaned. "Who is it?" She asked, but made sure not to be to loud for the others, who were asleep.

"It's me, darling!" Regina said as she opened the door slightly and popped her head in with a smile. Her smile fell as she saw Emma's bruised face and the redness of the water.

She closed the door behind her and hurried towards the blonde. "Emma!" She said, tracing the bruises on her face. "What happened?" Emma shook her head and looked away.

Regina sighed. "Mind if I join you?" Emma looked up at Regina with a raised eyebrow, not having expected Regina to drop it just like that. "What?" Regina asked. "I missed you!" She commented.

"I missed you too!" Emma smiled, happy that Regina was close to her after all this time. Once she was siting with her head against Emma's shoulder and the blonde's arms around her, she said: "Please, talk to me?"

Emma sighed, knowing she'd do anything that her girlfriend asked her. "Jack likes beating powerless girls!" Regina frowned. "Emma, you're far from powerless."

"Yes, well, I found out he was beating Alyssa and I went crazy on him! He pulled out a gun on me and said it was she or I, so I chose! Alyssa doesn't know! He ties me up and beats me, but doesn't touch my face, so Alyssa wouldn't notice."

"Why did he do it now?" Emma sighed. "When he came by earlier, he said he wanted Alyssa to move back downstairs. You and I both know what that would mean, so I told him 'no'. So once more he pulled a gun on me. Not that he scares me with it, but still I told him he could do the face once, but had to leave Alyssa alone, he agreed."

Once they were in Emma's room, getting into bed, they heard a gunshot. Emma knew exactly where it came from. She grabbed her gun and her recently achieved NYPD-badge and ran out of the room.

"Go check on the kids!" She ordered Regina. She ran out the front door in her pajamas and hurried down the stairs to Jack's apartment. She banged on the door. "NYPD! Open the door!"

There was no answer. She knew where Alyssa had hidden her spare key and unlocked the door. She cleared the foyer, the living room, but when she entered the main bedroom she gasped.

Alyssa was on the floor blood everywhere. Emma quickly felt her pulse and tears sprang in her eyes.

Adrenaline filled her and she did what needed to be done; she went looking for Jack. He was exactly where she expected him to be. She pointed her gun to him. "Jack Johnson, you're under arrest for torture of minors, beating a cop and murder of a minor, which you were responsible of! Everything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law." Emma recited his rights.

Then she called the office. "Hi Frankie, it's Emma! Yeah, there's been a murder in my apartment building! He tortured multiple minors and beat me. I have him cuffed, but I need you to come get him."

After hanging up with her partner, she called an ambulance for Alyssa. As she ended the call, all her adrenaline had drained and she fell to her knees crying.

"Swan?" She heard her partner's voice. "In here!" He followed the sound of her broken voice and found her crying over the teen's body. "Oh, Emma!" He knew of the relationship between the two blondes. He bend down and hugged the kneeling woman from behind.

"Come on, Ems! You can't stay here! You need to help me with Jack, so he can pay for doing this to your little sister!" Emma nodded and Frankie pulled her to her feet.

They put Jack in the cruiser and Emma watched them pull away.

In the meantime, the medical team had taken away Alyssa's body.

Emma returned to her apartment and immediately went to find Regina. She found her in the baby's room. Regina looked up at Emma. Seeing the tears on Emma's cheek she ran towards her and held her in her arms, supporting her girlfriend.

It was a sad night that none of them would ever forget!
