Chapter sixty-two

-7.00 am-

Regina leaned against the two way mirror and rolled her eyes as Charming came out of the interrogation room. The Charmings were clearly worried that she would be too 'involved' in the situation, though she was sure that it was because they were afraid of the fireball she would throw at the blonde boy who had spent half an hour in silence.

"I can't get him to talk," David sighed.

"Well then allow me a chance to loosen his lips," Regina said instantly as she unhitched herself from the mirror.

"Regina…I don't think that violence will convince him…"

The brunette was about to deny his words until she heard the distinctive sound of her mother's new favourite high heels accompanied by the sound of her girlfriend's wheelchair.

Even a second, she had turned around to face them and her shoulders slumped at the disappointed looks on each of their faces.

"It didn't work," she sighed.

Cora shook her head and said, "Rumpel thinks that Pan must have put some kind of cloaking spell on Henry so that a locator spell wouldn't work."

"What about him?" Emma asked somewhat hopefully, but she noticed similar expression on David and Regina's face and she sighed deeply, "he still hasn't said a word?"

"He hasn't even told us his name," Regina replied, "and it's not as though he would be willing to drink anything we give him, so truth serum isn't exactly an option."

Emma nodded and looked into the interrogation room, as she inspected his expression, she thought back to her session with Archie. Even though she had only been to one session so far, he had certainly helped her to start coming to terms with her childhood, and she instantly recognised the look on his face. Whoever this Lost Boy was, he was lonely and she knew exactly what to say to get him to tell her the truth.

Before she could announce her plan, however, Snow came running in.

Charming rushed over to her and placed his hand on her shoulder, "you're supposed to be in the hospital for observation."

"Whale discharged me, he said that everything is fine, I can't just lay around…"

The blond man sighed and as if they each realised at the same time, both sets of eyes fell onto Emma.

Their daughter knew exactly what they wanted in that moment, but she just couldn't give it to them, at least not yet. But what she could give them was a small smile, a promise that they would have a real conversation about this later.

With practiced skill, she then turned the chair around one-hundred and eighty degrees and said, "I have an idea, if it doesn't work then you can go in fireballs blazing."

Regina nodded, if it had been any other moment, she probably would have noticed that some of the saviour's old confidence had returned to her eyes, but she was far too focused on finding their son.

As the door opened, Felix looked up at the blonde and the allowed his head to fall to the table, desperately trying to remind himself that he only had to keep his silence for five more hours.

"Aren't you getting hungry?" Emma asked, mostly because she was trying to think of the right way to start this conversation.

The blond boy shook his head adamantly and the sheriff just about managed to refrain from growling in frustration.

"You're a Lost Boy right?"

Felix tilted his head and nodded with narrowed his eyes.

"So you got to stay a child forever, that sounds terrible," Emma sighed.

Felix bit his lip, but he couldn't help himself as he said, "what could possibly make you say that?"

"Well, when I was a kid, I was an orphan that no one wanted, I was alone…" she said, just about managing to hold back the tears, knowing that it probably wouldn't help to convince him. She did, however, shoot a look over her shoulder where she felt the presence of the four people who she had left in the other room. Archie had told her that she should talk about her issues when she was ready and she figured that an indirect approach would be the best way to broach the subject.

"How depressing…" he drawled.

"Well, it was…but now I have parents, a girlfriend and a son, my life is pretty good," she continued ignoring his comment.

"It hardly looks like everything is good…"

Emma raised her eyebrow at him as he pointed to her chair, she was sure that it would have bothered a lot more the day before, but Archie was truly an amazing therapist. Instead of anger flooding her system, she felt a slight pang in her stomach that quickly subsided.

"It may not be perfect, but it's far better than my childhood. I'm willing to bet to you wanted to escape to Neverland to escape a crappy situation, only to find that things were not as good as you thought. All you did was prolong your shitty childhood, you cannot deny that being in Neverland is better than wherever you were before, do you think that Pan cares what is happening to you right now? If you're being honest with yourself, do you believe that he is coming to save you?"

Felix swallowed hard and looked down at the table, "once he has Henry's heart, he will have all the power he could ever need and he will save me."

"And what if that takes too long? What if I decide to get my very pissed off girlfriend to rip out your heart and command you to tell us exactly where Henry is. I wonder if she would be in the mood to return it…"

The blond boy's eyes widened in fear, but he still seemed to refuse to look up from the table.

Emma continued to look at him for a few moments before she decided that she had laid the ground work and wheeled her way out of the room.

As soon as she left, she saw the looks on her parents faces, mixed between sadness and fear, she offered them another promising smile and then turned to look at Regina.

"No offence, dear, but what did that prove?" Regina asked with a tilted head.

"What's he doing?" the blonde returned.

"Clutching his head…" Cora replied with confusion evident in her voice.

Emma nodded and said, "give it half an hour and if he doesn't start to reconsider, Regina can make good on my threat."

A/N Sorry this so short but I have some assignments due and couldn't spend as long as I wanted to on it, hope you liked it anyway...let me know what you thought XD
