Hook knocked on the door of Mary Margret's apartment. He waited for a few seconds, and then he heard the lock on the door being unlocked. The door swung open slowly, and Henry came face to face with Hook. Henry said, "Hey Killian, where were you last night?"

Killian chuckled and said, "I was abducted by your mom, but I escaped because I removed Zelena's bracelet and she helped me free."

Wait, Zelena's free?" Henry asked.

"Yes she's free, I was going to tell you, but you're too busy talking somebody. Who's out there?" Regina said.

"It's just me love," Killian said.

Killian entered the apartment. It was clean and neat. Mary Margaret and Charming sat next to each across from Regina and Robin Hood. Mary had a cup of tea in front of her, and Charming had a cup of coffee in front of him. Regina and Robin each had a cup of water in front of them. Killian took a seat diagonally to the right of Regina, and Henry took a seat next to him. Regina said, "So we really need to know what Emma is up to. A dark one wouldn't let a powerful witch out for free by accident."

"That may have been my fault. I was abducted by Emma as well, and I made a deal with Zelena," Hook said.

"What? You don't make deals with my sister, she just breaks them," Regina exclaimed.

"I'm sorry, but I needed to stop Swan," Killian said.

"How can you stop Swan? You're just a mere pirate missing a hand with guy liner," Regina said.

"I found some squid ink Emma hid behind a painting, and I used it on her," Hook said.

"And then you just decided to leave her?" Mary Margaret inquired.

"I needed some time alone, so I went to my ship," Killian answered.

"That doesn't sound like something you'd normally do. Wouldn't you try to talk some sense into Emma?" David asked.

"I needed a break, Charming. It's hard to see the woman you love as the dark one," Hook said as he clenched his jaw.

"Do you love her?" Charming retorted.

"Of course," Killian said as he eyed Charming.

Killian walked up and left. As he exited Mary Margaret called out, "Killian wait!"

He exited the apartment and as soon as nobody could see him he disappeared in a puff of dark blue smoke.

"There's something wrong with our resident pirate. I could sense some magic on him," Regina said concerned.

"Did he lie to us?" Robin Hood questioned.

"No, I know Killian, and I know when he is lying," Henry replied.

"Are you sure about this Henry?" David said.

"Yeah, I'm sure," Henry answered.

Killian reappeared in front of Emma and Belle. They were in the basement of Emma's house. Belle laid on the ground, her back was leaned against the wall, and her head was tilted a bit to her left. Her hands were open and lose, and her hair was still perfect. The basement was dimly lit and Excalibur's stone still stood at the back of the room. Emma held Belle's heart in her hand, and as soon as she saw Hook she smiled. Hook bent down and touched cheek and said, "Beautiful job love."

Belle woke up panicked and said, "Killian, please help me. Emma took my heart, knocked out Rumple, and-"

"Don't worry Belle, you're in no trouble," Killian said calmly.

"So please, be quiet and sleep," Emma said raising the heart.

Belle immediately went into a slumber. Killian then said, "It's time for me to catch a crocodile."

"I'll see you soon," Emma replied.
