"Miss. Blanchard!" Regina yelled through the phone when Emma picked it up.
"Yes, how can I help you?" Emma said, acting like she didn't just got her eardrums blown up.
"I've been trying to reach you all night."
"Sorry madam mayor but some people sleep at night," she said a bit annoyed. "Why did you call?"
"Yesterday night two little brats threw rotten eggs at my house. I need you to arrest them."
"Can't you call Graham, I have a day off."
"Graham is already on another case. Now you are going to arrest those two or you're going to lose your job."
"You can't make me lose my job."
"Try me." Emma could hear the smirk on his face in her voice. She pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed.
"Alright. Who were they? What did they look like?"
"Their names are Peter P- Peter and Felix. One has a scar across his face and the other is wearing a cast. They are orphans and are mostly seen around the forest." Wasn't Felix that boy that lay unconscious on the station floor next to Killian?
"Okay, I'm on it," Emma said and ended their call. She sighed deep and walked down the stairs. "I can't come sailing with you guys," she said to her mother and slumbered down on a stool.
"What? Why not?" Mary Margaret asked confused.
"Regina called. I have to find two teenage boys who threw rotten eggs at her house," Emma explained and let her head rest on her arms. "I was really looking forward to this. I never went sailing before." And because Killian is taking them of course. She wanted to spend more time with him and couldn't wait till their next date.
"Maybe if you find them fast you can join us later," Mary Margaret suggested.
Emma shrugged. "Then I probably should be going now."
"Good luck, sweetheart. I'll tell Killian that you'll be joining us later."
"Thanks, Mom." Emma kissed her mother's cheek before grabbing her jacket and leaving the apartment. She got into her car and drove to Storybrooke's little forest. She parked the car a little further from the forest so that they wouldn't see and recognise it and try to make a run for it, that was the last thing she needed right now.
Emma kept her eyes open as she walked through the forest. Something out the corner of her eye caught her attention and she looked up, seeing in the trees a well build treehouse. Emma walked to the treehouse, trying to see if there was any movement inside. When she noticed no movement she climbed up the ladder. To her surprise the hatch was not locked, which meant they weren't far from here and would probably come back.
Emma decided to wait for them inside. She hauled herself up into the treehouse and looked around. She had to give it to them, it was an impressive treehouse. Standing up, she closed the hatch again and started walking around a bit. Every now and then she glanced out the window, just to make sure she wouldn't miss them if they returned.
She eventually decided to sit down on the couch of which she wondered how they got it up here. It was a perfect spot to relax but still see the path to the treehouse without being seen. Emma didn't have to wait long before she heard voices coming closer. When she looked out the window she spotted the two boys Regina described, Peter and Felix.
They were laughing about something as they approached the treehouse. Emma sat back in the couch but tensed her body to be ready to run when she needed to. The laughing and talking got louder the closer the got and eventually she heard their footsteps too.
"You saw the look on that idiot's face?" one of them laughed as he started climbing the ladder. Emma smirked, they had no idea what was waiting for them.
"That was definitely worth it," the other said. Emma got ready to jump after them as the hatch opened and the boy with the scar on his face spotted her, the smile on his face fading immediately.
"Felix, what are you waiting for?" the boy she assumed was Peter said from beneath Felix. Emma smirked at him and stood up.
"Run," Felix said and turned his head down. "Run!"
Felix jumped down and Emma was right behind him. They had a bit of a head start but Emma was fast, even faster now that she had somewhere to be. She ran after them.
"Why are we running? We can take her," Emma could here Peter say.
"She's the Sheriff and no we can't take her," Felix said and Emma smirked again. Smart boy, but not smart enough. Emma caught up on them tackled them to the ground. They both groaned in annoyance and pain when she put her handcuffs on their wrists.
"You two are under arrest for vandalism," she said and hauled them up.
"Is this about the mayor house?" Peter said annoyed.
"Yes."
"Then you have to admit that she deserved it."
"Maybe, but that's not going to help you," she said and escorted them to her car. "I'm sorry boys, but I have to do this."
"Can't we make a deal or something?" Felix suggested and Emma raised an eyebrow at him. "We get a fair warning and you let us go and we won't bother you for the rest of the day when you're sailing."
Emma's eyes widened. "How do you know I'm going sailing?"
"We got our way of knowing things," Peter said and raised an eyebrow. "But if I were you I would except."
"Are you threatening me?" Emma narrowed her eyes at them.
"You see," Felix started and stopped, Peter did too and they both turned to face her.
"We don't like to go to jail," Peter continued.
"Walk," Emma said sternly, but they ignored her.
"We like to play games."
"And games sometimes end up… painful."
Emma just crossed her arms and smiled at them. "Look at that, I just found another reason to keep you two even longer in jail."
Peter's smile faded and he licked his lips, looking nervous. "But we were just joking," he said fast.
"Because it was only a distraction," Felix said and both their handcuffs fell to the ground behind them and they took off.
"Son of a bitch," Emma muttered before quickly grabbing the handcuffs from the ground and followed them. They ran out of the forest and to the town, Emma hot on their tails. She could almost grab Felix hoodie when they suddenly turned a corner and she almost ran into a wall.
She growled at them and pushed herself off of the wall, starting running after them again. They were so dead when she caught them. Just when she rounded a corner she stopped and looked around, not spotting them anywhere.
"Shit." She started walking in a direction, looking around her. She stopped immediately when she heard a yelp coming from one of the alley's. She rushed over to it and her mouth fell open when she saw Killian with the two boys, their arm behind their backs in a painful position.
"Hello Swan," he said and pushed Peter and Felix forward. They flinched when he pushed their arms up when they didn't listen. "I thought you might need some help with these two."
"How did you…"
"I have a history with them and I kind of know their way of escaping," he explained and handed Peter to Emma. Both Peter and Felix were glaring at them. "I have to say, it surprised me how long it took for them to escape."
They pushed them to her car. "Aren't you supposed to be sailing with David and my Mom?"
"I know these boys and I didn't want you to deal with them alone," he said a bit darker and raised Felix arm just a bit higher than necessary so that he hissed in pain before opening the door of her car and pushing him inside. Emma pushed Peter in too and closed the door, locking it just to be sure that they wouldn't escape as she talked to Killian.
"What happened between you and them?" she asked him gently.
"That isn't really a story for now, love," he said and gave her a weak attempt of a smile. Emma nodded and bit her lip.
"Are you going to ride with me to the station or do I see you on the docks later?"
"I'm not leaving you with those demons," he said seriously and took a step closer. "Plus," he glanced back at them with a smirk, "you know how much fun it is to engross teenagers with adult romance?"
Emma saw how it was just a mask to hide his pain, but let it go for now. He would tell her when he's ready. For now she just smirked back at him and glancing at the two teenagers as she wrapped her arms around his neck and he placed his hands on her hips.
"Is it really that much fun?" Out of the corner of her eye she saw Peter and Felix watching them with a confused expression.
"Listen closely," Killian smirked and kissed her. It was just a simple lingering peck so that she wouldn't be too distracted – for a second she did needed to consecrate, though – and could listen to the two boys making disgusted noises. She opened one eye to see them looking away in disgust. She broke the kiss and started laughing, Killian joined her.
"Come on, let's get them to the station so that we can finally go sailing," Emma said and stepped away from him, opening the door of the driver's seat.
"As you wish," he said and made a small bow. She heard a groan behind her and could barely hold her laugh as she sat down.
At the station Felix and Peter were both put into different cells. Killian helped Emma to make sure they could escape and teased them a bit more before finally leaving. Felix sighed and sat down on the bed.
"So what's the plan, Peter?" he asked Peter who was laying on his back, staring at the ceiling with his hands under his head.
"Escape, of course."
"How? They took all our stuff and everything else is out of reach."
Peter sat up. "Felix, in all the time that we know each other, have you ever doubted me?" Felix shook his head and Peter started padding the mattress. "Then do I have to remind you," he ripped open the mattress and pulled a thin coil spring out of it. "Peter never fails."
Felix smirked, starting ripping his own mattress and pulled out a coil spring. He copied the way Peter clicked it into the lock and fumbled with it before unlocking his cell. After a bit of fumbling Felix heard a click and he was free as well. They gathered their stuff and casually walked out of the office part of the station.
"Idiots." They chuckled but stopped when they saw both Emma and Killian leaning against the front door of the station, their only way out.
"Told you they would find a way," Killian said and hold out his hand. "Pay up."
Emma rolled her eyes and handed him a ten before pushing herself off of the door. "That was a total of," – she glanced at her watch – "two minute and 40 second, impressive."
Peter and Felix looked at the adults with wide eyes. They were smarter than they thought they were. Peter nudged Felix, telling him to make a run for it on his signal. Killian chuckled and pushed himself from the door too while Emma crossed her arms.
"Running won't get you anywhere," Emma said a bit too sweet and tilted her head.
"This door is the only way out and it's locked," Killian explained and waved his hand at the door.
Emma took a step closer. "Now, there are two options." She held up her finger. "One, you two are going to be good boys and go back to your cells." She held up her second finger. "Or two, you try to get past us and we have to force you two back into your cells."
"If I were you I would chose option one," Killian piped in. Peter and Felix shared a look, have they really been basted? Peter clearly wasn't ready to give up and gave Felix a look. Felix nodded and Peter stepped forward.
"Option one does sounds the easiest," Peter started and Felix started moving past him and Emma. Killian kept a close eye on him and followed his movement while Emma kept an eye on Peter. "it would be nicer that way and maybe it could lessen the days we have spent in there." Felix was now standing by the door, his pocketknife in his hand, shielding it behind him so that Killian wouldn't see. "But what would be the fun in that?"
As hard as he could he slammed the end of his pocketknife at the glass door, breaking it in millions of pieces. Peter wanted to punch Emma but she caught his hand. He tried to hit her with his cast but she twisted his arm, setting a arm lock. Peter hissed in pain and Felix wanted to help but Killian grabbed his wrist with the pocketknife. He tried to yank it away but Killian kept a strong grip on it and before Felix could hit or punch him with his other free hand Killian chuto to his neck and he felt his knees buckle in.
Before he hit the covered with glass shards ground though, Killian caught him and dragged him away from the glass. Felix saw how Peter was pushed to his knees and he gritted his teeth, wanting to stand up and punch the adults but it felt like all the muscles in his body disappeared.
"What did you do to him?" Peter yelled through gritted teeth.
"He is momentarily paralysed, nothing to worry about." Killian said and walked into the office. He came back a second later with the coil spring they used to escape.
"I'll make sure to remove the beds," Emma said and made sure Killian had Peter before walking into the office. When she returned Killian started dragging him to his cell while Emma made sure that Peter got to his. And indeed the beds were gone.
Felix was surprised by how gentle Killian was with him and didn't just throw him down into the cell. Again they took all their stuff away from them and locked them up. slowly felt strength return to his body after Emma and Killian made sure they couldn't escape for a second time and left.
Slowly he sat up and growled after them, Peter doing the same. "They are so dead."
"They have no idea."
A/N: Thank you all for reading! please let me know what you guys think, I'm starting to struggle a bit to get a chapter done so please review, it realy helps!
for the Guest who reviewed on chapter 5 with: I really don't see how Snow was cursed when she was happy with her daughter. It's not like she knew David was her husband and missed him. She ensed up having a great life with Emma.
In the show Snow didn't have that awful of a life either, but here Regina expected that being a single mother was going to be hard and something Snow couldn't handle. I guess she was wrong.
