Chapter 16
Gold grinned as he opened the safe, the shell wasn't there. He had always known Regina would need a bit of magic to get the apple that would end up putting Emma to sleep like it had her mother Snow White. But he wanted her to suffer like he had when she told him Belle had been killed by her own father. Suffer as she gave up the closest thing to her Daniel, he would steal away her ring as she had once stole away his chipped cup.
His bell chimed as someone pushed open the door. He knew it was Regina, she wanted the necklace.
"Its not here," Gold turned and looked at the seathing Mayor. "And the boy doesn't have it either. I must have lost it when Miss Swan came in with me."
"What do you mean you LOST it?" Regina yelled, she took a deep breath and pinched her nose softly. "That girl cannot get her voice back."
"What do you think will happen if she gets it back?" Gold asked, truly intrested. "She wont remember who she is."
"It doesn't matter why," Regina sighed, she turned and walked out of the store.
"Emma isn't here," Mary Margaret shook her head, looking through the bars at Regina.
"I wasn't looking for Emma," Regina laughed, "I'm here for Adam. To bail him out."
"Why would you do that?" Adam asked.
"Your father is a supporter of mine," Regina explained. "If he were to find out that his son was," she paused and looked at Evelyn. "A thief. He would be broken hearted."
"It wasn't Gold's necklace in the first place," Adam jumped up, wrapped his hands around the bars, gripping them hard. He looked at Evelyn. "Its yours. I was just trying to get it for you. And I don't want your help Regina, if my father finds out he can leave me in here if he so wishes. I wont take aide from you."
Emma walked in, looked around at all the people in her jail and sat down. "The necklace isn't in Gold's safe anymore," Emma sighed. "And I know you don't have it Adam. So it seems someone else was there as well…"
Evelyn waved her hands and began signing to Mary Margaret. "I can bail out Adam." She smirked at Regina.
" Mr. Gold isn't pressing charges," Emma stood up and pulled a set of keys out of her pocket. It was moments like these she wished Graham was still alive. This town could get a little overwhelming. "So no one has to bail you out." She unlocked the door and stood aside as Adam walked quickly out.
He went over to Mary Margaret and grasped her hands through the bars. "I'll do anything I can to help you."
Mary Margaret smiled a sad smile. "Its okay Adam, go help Evelyn find her necklace."
Regina rolled her eyes, turned on her heals and walked out of the room. This day was not going the way she planned. She needed to find Gold and she needed to find that necklace. If that girl got her hands on it she would have her voice back.
Adam kissed Mary Margaret on the head, then turned and looked at Evelyn. She stood there in her sun dress, the sun falling on her dark red hair. She was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. He walked over to her in two strides, gathered her up in his arms and kissed her.
