A/N: This one is a little bit longer. I can't stop tying... Enjoy your adventure with Bad-Ass Emma Swan.

Chapter 3

Several days later, Emma did her work on the client's information and gathered the notes that she overlooked while in her office or at home. No one admitted to check up on her with the progress. Most of the time, the blonde agent tends to do alone by herself with better thinking. Every agent wanted to be like her. It was annoying at first but she got used to it.

She knew her research based on few clients that were in her suspect list. The number one was checking on their alibi if they have one unless it is a red flag on their plans. She knew what to do that in her top priority. To be honest, no agents organized their priorities like Emma did. Mary Margaret was impressed with the golden-haired woman's methods and did experiment on herself. It worked successfully. But it is Emma's method only to work on the undercover cases.

Before the blonde woman dived on her second case, she was almost failing at her first undercover case back in China. It was her first time to travel out of the country with her adequate knowledges on the information based on the Chinese people. She was assigned with her former partner, Lily Page.

Her thoughts were too low to know everything. Lily exposed her knowledge toward her but Emma didn't take it seriously. It caused her to get fired for this big case and Lily was getting madder at her. The blonde agent was very clueless about everything going on with the case until she faced herself in the end.

It was a tragic day for every agent to mourn their best agent of the history, Lily Page. Emma didn't know her at all but heard of her name before. Her name was a shiny reputation in all over the universe. Lily was the best sniper woman and her skills were impressive. The blonde agent wanted to be like her but it put a blame on herself when she didn't see any cause toward Lily.

Emma remembered her first day in China. She was in her disguise. Her clothes were the punk rock style with the darker hair. She did dye her hair in black. The blonde agent showed herself as Cassie Holmes. She was focusing on her case about the drugs. Lily exposed the information about the drugs that their people took in their alleys and hidden gems at the city.

She pretended to be the one of the drug dealers and walked around like a normal person with her headphone on. It happened in few hours later, she was dragging herself toward the group who was famously banned in the city but had a best luck to hide themselves in the buildings and streets. Emma was still on her motorcycle and spotted one of the guys who was dealing with Cocaine and somewhat drugs to another dealer.

The blonde agent was not paying attention to Lily's voice but watched the scene until it went chaos. It was a gunfight on the street. She did let her partner down at once because she was very attentive to the drug deals. Lily voiced her presence and she looked over her shoulder to see the gunman behind her.

It was a loud bang. The gunman was behind Lily's back and shot her through her chest. Emma widened her eyes and didn't do nothing at all. She stayed still and watched Lily bleeding out on the street. The gunman looked up and took the eye contact with the blonde agent. It gave her some chills.

Few minutes later, the gunfight ceased when the police cars robbed their time on the streets. Emma looked back to the dealer's place and found out that it was empty. She thought that she missed the witness scene. The golden-haired agent was devastated that she lost her chance to catch them. But Lily was already dead at this time when the police found her on the street.

Emma was blaming on herself because she didn't take her intuition to protect her partner from the gunfight. She was disappointed in herself because she felt useless to help Lily to take him down. The gunman vanished few seconds later before the police came. She tried to vain herself with the police force until she was released with a special permission.

When the case was over with the evidence toward the gunman who shot Lily that day. Emma was relieved that her case closed quickly but got a suspension for two weeks. She was on the desk duty to investigate on the weapons with the scientists. That's how she met Dr. Hopper on her first day of desk duty after getting back from China.

It reminded her like that. She scarred her life by remembering her former partner and knew what to do properly like her former partner does in her days. Emma continued to do her priorities as long as she knew her client's information. Secondly, she focused on their work schedule and class schedule due of learning and taking the notes on that information that she never heard before.

Thirdly, Emma focused on what they like to do on their daily basics and research on what they already had in common. Then lastly, the blonde agent collaborates it together until she finds her final answer to hammer it down. That's how she worked through her priorities. No one admitted that Emma was very genius on her basic level of everything else and they didn't want to be like her.

Because the green-eyed woman took the cases very seriously and focused on what she wanted for her daily basis. At first, her desk duty was over when she returned to her regular cases with wrongful laws beside the FBI and State Police Departments. Emma did her part time to work under FBI and the police station in DC and MD. She enjoyed her time alone while she was working on those small cases that was assigned to her.

Now, she was back to her regular basis schedule. Emma was relieved that she got her work done and went on with her packing boxes from her home in VA near her work. Finally, she got her second case of the undercover in Maine and did some time to research on the map of Storybrooke campus.

At her home, Emma walked around in her bedroom and checked over on her boxes that already packed. She was aware that her new place already has been furnished and went relieved that she didn't order any furniture to deliver at her new place. The golden-haired woman checked on her boxes included the sheets and covers. Even though, she did pack the kitchen stuffs in three boxes.

After the inspections on the boxes, she sent them to her towing moving trailer and build the levels from heavy items to light boxes on the top. Mary Margaret, August and David came to help her to pack the items that Emma checked on the list. The men just carried the boxes from the living room that Mary Margaret and Emma brought from the bedroom and kitchen.

Lastly, they covered with the furniture covers and left everything behind. Emma locked the door and re-checked on the garage. She brought her weapons from the secret area and looked up at the men who waited for her to load the weapons under the blonde agent's new car. August decided to take care of her motorcycle for a while and took it for a ride back to home. He was lending himself to join Mary Margaret and David's car for a day to help Emma load the boxes in the trailer.

When it came to the farewells, the golden-haired woman hugged August and smiled at her boss with David. She bowed her out and got in her car. Others watched her leaving the home and looked at each other with their thoughts on the big case. Emma exhaled deeply and ignited her car. She looked out in the window with a smile and focused on the road.

It was ten hours of the drive. Emma rolled her eyes while carefully got her attention on the crazy road with the speed cars. She felt like she wanted to call 911 and blamed on them so she can get her open road to drive faster. It was a laughable treat to her. The blonde agent switched her hand to radio the music in her shiny car. Emma slowly curled her lips up while gearing up a stick and pedaled immediately.

The expensive car zoomed to weave through the slow cars until she looked up on the rear view. It was already smoking hot on her. Emma laughed at herself and paced down on her gear stick. She knew that she didn't want to get any police sirens behind her tail. The blonde woman exhaled deeply and looked at the digital clock. It's 8 hours and 30 minutes left.

It was a journey to start her case with a long trip. She rested herself at the rest stops for bathroom, re-fuel and meals on her way. Emma made some calls on her rest of the journey to make sure that her place was still running and checked on her time with her agents since she brought some clues to them to analyze for information on her clients.

In her thoughts, she put a puzzle with the clients' information and was very aware that something was twisting up in her case. Emma looked around herself and looked at the clock on her phone. She had only 5 hours left and decided to drive straight with two stops ahead on her journey. The blonde agent was sure that she didn't want to stay overnight at the hotel and jumped in her car.

After five hours later, Emma drove in the Main Street and looked around the quaint town. The people were walking with their perplexed faces when they saw the fancy car coming into their town. The blonde agent rolled her eyes and found herself turning left to the residential street by the end of Main Street. There were the luxury homes around on the residential street.

On her right window, there was the campus of Storybrooke and it was beautiful in the view than the picture on the website. She was impressive that the grass was greener than her lawn in Virginia. Emma rolled her eyes and scoffed at her thought. In few minutes later, she found her place and smiled at herself.

Her place was very luxury than other homes. It was very newer and recently built in about six months. It was similar to New York apartment in Manhattan and Central Park West. But hers was huge than the sizeable of the penthouse in the New York City and a little over like a warehouse floor. Emma was fine with any size but found herself lucky to have a place to sleep and eat.

The exterior design was very modern but in French style. The windows were in the elegant style with the brown frames. The door was the crimson red. The numbers were gold. It was a white French modern townhouse. The blonde agent finally got out of her car and looked on the beautiful place she has but she actually owned it under CIA's budget.

Finally, she moved in her new place and unloaded the trailer then drove her car in the backyard garage. Emma exhaled and went inside her place. It was a huge penthouse with three stories. She checked on her living room. It was the open layout. The bookcases were loaded with the books. The 60 inches' television was in the center of the bookcase design. The couches were soft and plush in the black.

The golden-haired woman walked toward her kitchen. It was the modern style of the kitchen. She found herself that the food was stocked and kept her thank-you note to her agents for stocking anything in the kitchen. All appliances were in the metal silver and black. It matched everything she liked. Every floor in three stories were the hardwood floors except the bedrooms with the carpets.

She checked upstairs to see her home office included 50 inches' television and CIA equipment inside the safe room. The blonde agent approved her safety and checked on her weapons since she unloaded her trailer. She finally checked in her bedroom at last. It was gorgeous because it had a view of Storybrooke campus. Emma could watch the students parading everywhere in the campus.

In the bedroom, it was the master bedroom. It was an entire floor to have a bedroom and it was on the second floor. Her home office was on the third floor but it was locked because it was her privacy. The walls were blue. The furniture was the mahogany oak with the luxury design. Of course, in the master suite, it was a big claw-foot tub with jacuzzi. She was smiling at herself with the style of her favorite bathtub.

At last, she finally settled down in her new place and looked at the mirror. In her thoughts, she felt at ease but looked at herself. The blonde agent knew that it was time to find a truth behind the case. Emma curled up in a smile. She kept a note in her mind and replied to the mirror.

"It's time to reveal a mystery truth and here I come, Emma Swan to yours."
