A/N: It's still getting there and everything is suspicious to Emma. Before you read this one, don't forget to read 'The Family Stone' over there because I posted a new chapter! Enjoy this one.
Within a few weeks of researching and monitoring, Emma was distracted with everything since she tried to find what's going on in Storybrooke University. She was not focusing on what she needed to know and should have that information from Regina's own mother, Cora Mills. In her knowledge, she put Cora on her suspect list but not in her witness list.
Everything fell apart in an inch when she came into her office above her bedroom. She had conversed with Dr. Hopper about sending her more gadgets and settling up everything in the room before she headed back to the campus. From her television screen, she watched Regina's moves when she had a chance to grab herself a snack and listened to the brunette woman's voice with her friends.
Before Emma went into an action, Regina's friends were out on her list when she found any information related to them but her agent put her down with no records of the crimes. It was a frustrating time for her to find an answer to her link. The blonde agent pushed herself too harder to investigate on Maleficent. It put her to feel something's wrong like she had a gut to tell a story.
The golden-haired woman stared at the profile picture of the blonde woman who was smiling in the photoshoot. She sent her good friend, Ruby Lucas to investigate on the information of her background and even had her agent to follow her moves as well. In her mind, she saw something in Maleficent's stardust eyes when she had a chance to stake out on her.
But Mary Margaret put her down on the alert and informed her to do nothing. Emma explained everything with her via video chat. David was there beside her and conceded with the supervisor but sent his apology look to Emma. It caused her to be angry with her boss and ended the call with them.
Emma turned around to take a look on Maleficent's smiling photo on the television screen. She stared at her for a while before hearing an alert from her security videos which Regina was in her bedroom. She walked back to her table and found the brunette woman who was laughing over the phone with her best friend, Kathryn.
The golden-haired woman stared at Regina's face and took a careful look on the views of Regina's mansion until she found a shadow behind the bush who was watching her from the shadowed trees that was not far away from the window. She widened her eyes and went into an agent mode to fire her weapon toward the shadowed person from her gadgets that settled up on the roof.
Unfortunately, it was too late for her to fire away and it was someone else Emma was familiar with a voice and it was Cora who shot away at the shadowed person behind the trees. It was a little shock for her to be surprised that the oldest brunette woman has a gun that already shot toward her suspect.
Emma typed right away on the keyboard and tried to code everything to zoom on the suspect's face. She glowered at someone while the camera zoomed in and went into a shock when her suspect showed up on her screen. After that happened, the blonde agent typed on the search database to identify on her suspect before the action began.
Several minutes later, the alert appeared out on the screen and it said that they found the identifies on the suspect's face. It was confirmed that Cora shot Emma's suspect and it happened to be her mysterious shooter from Lily's incident. Emma started to freak out and dialed on Mary Margaret's video number immediately.
The golden-haired woman furiously typed the codes in her system and searched for an immediate access to the program that held the criminals' database. The pixie woman showed up on the screen and rubbed her right hand to ease the pain with a retort. Emma looked up at her on her right with a nod of the greeting.
"Hello Agent Swan."
"I just got a mysterious shooter from The Mills mansion. I just sent you a screenshot. Tell me who it is." The blonde woman informed her right away while typing a code in the system. She looked between the screens while she was trying to think everything before she started to speak up.
"I got it now. So, when was that?"
"Today. Cora shot the mysterious shooter and I opened up on the identities from our database. I tried to match their facial features into our system. It appeared to be none but I assumed that we had to match up in the criminals' database since we put them off to the big hell. And, that would be from the one of our cases."
Mary Margaret went perplexed after opening the screenshot and looked up on the criminals' database. She tried to match up everything as Emma explained everything through the video. She heard David coming in her door and asked him to help her to figure it out with the identity. The blond guy came behind her and took a look on the screen which Emma was furiously typing in the system then decided to put himself to search anything that he could find the information.
The pixie woman explained from the beginning when Emma was explained to do so. She looked back at him with a curiosity. David slowly opened his mouth but halted his hands on the keyboard. He widened his eyes when the identities came out on the screen on both ladies' views.
Emma heard an alert on her screen and looked up on it before hearing Regina's laugh on other screen. It scared her out of the blue when she thought that Regina was going to scream for help. But it was not that one and it was her excitement when it came to Kathryn's acceptance into a big firm that brought her to be a lawyer for the internship. She went relieved that Regina was happy for her best friend and went back to her place as an agent.
The blonde agent opened the file that David sent her via an email. The blond guy started to explain as he tried to remember his case. Mary Margaret was impressed with Agent Nolan's skills and listened to his voice while she was looking through the files for answers. Emma gasped when the profile picture appeared on her screen and exclaimed shockingly.
"It's Regina's father. Henry Mills!"
"Wait a minute, it's impossible that he is alive but we saw him die." Mary Margaret spoke in her shock. David furrowed his brows and looked back at his supervisor with a questioning look. The golden-haired woman shook her head and explained.
"It's impossible that Henry is alive but how was that for him? How!?"
"I assumed that he went off before the bomb exploded in his car."
"Wait a minute, you said the bomb?" David replied before typing in a search database to find the file of Agent 0005. He looked thoroughly as he read the information about the accident. The pixie woman got up as she walked back to her file cabinet to search for any information before they found something as they suspected that it would be their hands.
Emma looked back at Regina's views and searched for Cora in other views. She saw her in the kitchen and narrowed her eyes toward the oldest brunette woman who was calming herself and phoned someone on the cell. The blonde agent went into the audio system to hear the conversation through Cora's house system. It was pinging through her computer and turned the volume up to hear very clearly.
Mary Margaret and David whipped their heads up to the screen where Emma was cooping in with Cora Mills on the screen. They watched the blonde agent that went closer to the screen. It caused them to wonder what they heard from the audio that Emma turned the volume up. The blonde woman listened to it as well.
"It's me. I just found the shadowed man outside by my garden. I couldn't identify them as Regina would be down at any minutes."
"That's fine. Did you shoot them?" The voice was speaking up on the audio as the oldest brunette woman listened through their conversation on the phones. It caused Emma to type away on the search database with the audio parts. It was trying to identity the voice behind the call. The short black-haired woman slowly froze when she heard the voice on the screen. David didn't notice her right away before he typed something on the search database to match the mysterious shooter's face.
Emma was furious at herself when it came up in her screen. On the other side, Regina was still in her room and laughing with her best friend, Kathryn on the phone call. The blonde agent wondered how long they would end their conversation before she went to figure it out on her own to identity the shooter and information about them. But she didn't hear Mary Margaret's narrowed breathing but David brought his attention to yell over the screen where Emma was there.
The golden-haired agent looked up as Mary Margaret tried to calm herself. David exhaled slowly as he searched something but decided to call one of his best agent that would help him to find the identity to match the shooter. Neal came in to hand his finished cases before he retired to have a shot glass with Granny Lucas. But it put him into a curiosity to see what's going on with his supervisor and best friend who were cooping on the screen.
He heard Emma's voice on the screen and walked up toward them with his perplexed face. David looked up at him with an explanation that he found the information from Emma. Neal nodded with his ear to listen about everything. Mary Margaret kept exhaling loudly as she pointed toward the audio part with a retort.
"The voice is my father's. It's Leopold."
It gave others to be shocked. Emma blinked and gawked at her supervisor before checking out on Regina's screen. Cora was there to say her goodnight. The brunette woman was smiling at her mother and went to sleep. She didn't realize that the brown-haired college student already ended her call with Kathryn. The oldest brunette woman smiled at her daughter and left the room.
It caused her to wonder why Cora did that to her daughter because she realized that Regina's mother has some tricks in her sleeve. So, she didn't want her daughter to know that she was in a big trouble with the authority as Emma's position. Cora got usually to the agent and their business to take someone down with their authority.
It put the blonde agent to look through Cora's eyes before hearing the words from Mary Margaret's father on the phone line. David worked thoroughly before speaking aloud. The golden-haired woman exhaled deeply as she identities everything from the beginning that she already started. Beside her, the blond guy was helping her out with the answers she would find out within those few days.
Perhaps, she was worried about her operation as an undercover agent in the campus and it led her to think about her life a little bit before it happened in her eyes. She looked back at Regina who was still sleeping on her bed. It put her into a big relief that the brunette woman was safe and sound in the mansion.
Cora was there as well but decided to pull herself out of her daughter's room then walked back to the kitchen where she held a call up for few minutes before the voice came up. It was a pretty mess than she thought it would be. Emma typed in a code through the database and looked back at the screen that David was coping with Mary Margaret's computer.
Emma sighed as Cora was conversing with someone on her disposable cell phone. She looked at her on the screen and furiously typed in the codes as Neal explained with the audio parts. David gently pushed Mary Margaret out of his space and gave him some time to identity the shooter then informed his other agent who was working with Emma.
"Do you have the file of Cora Mills? A copy one?"
"Yes, sir." Neal retorted after giving a closure of the code to her via the screen. Emma nodded as she typed right away for a final code. He stepped around and ran out of the office to get the files. The blond guy looked back at his agent in the studio. Emma looked between the screens and spoke lightly.
"Find anything on our shooter?"
"I can't identity him or her at all. Why is the shooter there at the Mills Mansion before Cora shot them?"
"I have no idea. I am going to check out on the perimeter where they stood there before the shooting." The golden-haired agent explained while typing in other screen for a close-up on the perimeters. She looked on the four screens where the shooter stood and put an angle on it until zoomed it through her sight of line then slowly widened her eyes with a gasp.
It put David to look up at Emma with a perplexed face but the alert gave him a wake-up call on their shooter. Mary Margaret finally calmed herself down after drinking three bottled waters then returned to her place behind Agent Nolan. Neal finally returned with a box of the evidences of Cora Mills and placed on the table. The blond guy glanced over at the box and obeyed his order.
"Find anything related to Cora Mills' statements about her husband, Agent 0005."
"Ehh." The brunette man turned around to face his best friend and tilted his head with a weak response. The pixie cut supervisor cleared her throat and nodded back at the box with a glare. He nodded then went digging through the files in the box. David asked Emma right away before typing on the database to match the face.
"What is the shooter's angle?"
"They are planning to kill Regina. It's Regina Mills, she is in danger."
Others froze when they heard the unmistakable voice from their best agent in CIA. Neal slowly dug out in one of the thick files and read the statement from Cora then briskly searched through the information about Henry Mills, Agent 0005. Mary Margaret looked back at David who was working on the shooter's face on the screen. Emma panicked and disconnected her audio parts then transferred to her computer to identity the voice from Cora's call before Regina ended her call with Kathryn.
She looked calm but inside, she went into a rage about the shooter's angle. Neal gasped after finding an information and grabbed the paperwork to Mary Margaret then explained everything. David found his shooter's face and the men said the name before Emma found a voice that is matched.
"It's Rumpelstiltskin Gold."
