Chapter 7: The Crime Scene

Regina arrived at the crime scene with David. She looked around to see if Emma appears but it was no sight of her. It caused her to sigh deeply and run her hand on her forehead with a less stress. The blond guy entered in the crime scene and took a look at the blood puddle on the floor. The brunette woman came in right after him and explained.

"I found her body here few weeks ago. I just enchanted a spell on her body last night. It was no name and he had a mask on his face. Right now, it's nothing useless to help us to solve this damn case."

"Regina, I know you are stressed to find out who is my daughter's killer. Did you collect evidence from here?"

"Yes. I did. I brought those evidences to Dr. Whale and his investigate team."

"Now, what did he tell you?" He asked while looking through the books on the shelves.

"It's all Emma's blood. That's hers but no evidence belongs to him."

"I'll be damned." David retorted while looking around in the cabin. Regina shook her head and pledged for Emma to appear in front of her. It was no answer from her. She walked through in the room and searched for evidence while he was scattering in the kitchen. It was useless to her when she searched everything in the living room and the den which she overlooked from her view.

Few hours in the search inside the cabin, Regina and David almost gave up for their hard work on the crime scene. The brunette was almost coming out of the den and spotted something odd on the wall which it was facing away from the window. It was viewed on the backyard. She walked over to the window and took a look until she spotted the small shed.

The brown-haired woman came out quickly after yelling back at David. He was almost finished with his search in the kitchen and heard the footsteps then looked around to see her running outside around the cabin. The blond man was curious about her rush and gathered the evidences in the bag then went after her.

"I found the shed!"

Arriving at the small shed, Regina hardly breathed and looked over her shoulder. David walked briskly and looked at the small shed. She put her hands on her hips and explained right away. He listened to her and got on with his curiosity on the small shed.

"I found the shed when I almost came out to get you but I saw something odd on the wall until I got closer and saw that shed outside."

"Ok, what's inside it?" The blond man asked while investigating on the shed's exterior design. She shook her head and walked to the doors then conjured her gloves to cover her hands. The brunette woman reached the door to open it and came inside. He followed her away.

They stepped on the hardwood floor and searched for the light. It was dark inside the shed and the sunset already went down. David got his phone and used the flashlight app to search for the switch until he found one. It switched on and they widened their eyes with their slack-jawed mouths.

Every wall, the pictures were everywhere and the plan was on the board. They looked around and absorbed everything on those evidences. David was terrified when he saw the big guns that was displayed on the wall and spoke lightly.

"Everything points to Emma. Why her?"

Regina looked through the pictures of the blonde sheriff who was hanging out with her family and even her too. She looked over at the board and studied on them for a while. He looked at the exact picture of his daughter.

Emma was smiling at Regina while they were outside at the Miner's Festival. She was wearing her infamous red leather jacket with blue jeans and black boots. Under her jacket, it was her favorite fairytale character, Evil Queen. It caused Regina to laugh at her shirt. It was a perfect moment between these ladies.

It made him smile when he saw that scene between Henry's mothers. The brunette woman was beside him and saw that picture as he did. It caused her to blurt it out right away. David was surprised that the mayor had a gut to say something about his daughter.

"I love her."

"You do?" He asked. The brown-haired mayor chuckled with a small nod then caressed on the blonde woman's face on the picture. The blond guy looked at her and nodded with his understanding with no words. He sighed and turned around to look through paperwork and plan on the board.

"It was targeting her. Every picture of her but who did you see the pictures on the wall?" Regina explained right away as she indicated them on the wall. He looked up at her and took a close-up on these pictures from the wall until he finally realized that most of the pictures were Regina and Emma in their closeness.

"It's you, someone targeted you too."

"Yes, I'm in a danger. And, this is his office."

"How did you know if it is him?" David inquired her right away with his curiosity. He didn't get any obvious clues in the shed. The brunette woman turned around to face him and spoke lightly.

"I saw him through my magic."

"What's else?"

"He was the one who shot her at a late night. It was very dark outside. Everything was rotten in there. No one heard a gunshot in here and it was stranded around inside the woods." Regina replied with a sigh. He was staring at her with a sympathy look and watched her going to see Emma on same picture then went out. She looked over her shoulder and let her tears dripping on her cheeks.

After wrapping up in the crime scene, they gathered the photos from the wall and packed them into the evidence box. Of course, they did snap some photos of it before doing that in the process. David was worried about Regina's state of mind because he just heard her saying that she loved her daughter.

He didn't mind if Emma is gay or not and he vaguely supported his daughter's happiness, that's important to him. But on his side, he was not sure if his wife, Snow would be up for anything like that one he just was surprised from Regina's declaration of love for their daughter. It left him alone to focus on his duty as an acting sheriff.

Regina finished herself by helping David with the evidences and decided to send herself back to the mansion where Emma was in the guest room. The acting sheriff shook his head and carried them out to his car then drove to the station for his investigation.

Across from the crime scene, Sidney was growling at them when he appeared to be there for witnessing everything he lost to the acting sheriff Regina requested to look around in his office. Everything he had was ruining his day and he only wanted her to be his and forever. In his mind, he was mentally making any notes to hunt Emma's family down before someone find him to be a murderer.

The last thing on his mind, he smiled at himself when he ran back to his office at Storybrooke Daily Newspaper and closed his door behind him. Sidney looked at the wall where he was keeping the copies of his and mischievously smiled at himself. He planned to use something that is painful to the Storybrooke True Love couple of all. He walked back to the drawer and opened it then dug out the weapon with a chuckle.

Sidney turned around and went toward the window. He unlocked then opened it and settled up his weapon on the window sill. He crouched down and looked through the target's lens to find Snow who was walking around in the loft. Sidney saw David throwing papers from the evidence box in the station through the lens.

Few minutes later, he formed the plans in his head and cocked his weapon quickly. Sidney looked through the lens to see Snow who was washing the dishes in the kitchen and smiled at himself before triggering the weapon. It was a perfect aim to target Snow's heart. At same time, David was clenching his heart after dropping the paperwork on the floor before Ruby came in with a whistle.

Finally, he won by beating them in the game and cleaned everything out from his view. Sidney turned around and grabbed his gloves to gather his evidence to be not valid through everything. He finally cleared his identity through touching the weapon and decided to leave his office with a match and gasoline over on his evidences.

He ran out of his building and yelled at some people who were chattering outside. He asked for help. Some were frightening when they saw the fire in the building and others called the police to get the fire trucks to hose the fire down. Sidney perfected his crying look with his make-believing act and sobbed when he saw the building finally collapsing after the firemen came.

Few minutes later, Sidney gave his statement to the authorities while David was carrying out to the hospital for ER. Snow was too when she was found by her grandson and Regina who was conjuring herself to appear in the loft. He smiled at himself when he dismissed from them and walked away from the crime scene and disappeared right away.

It left Storybrooke people to mope over the town when they heard the news about Snow and David in the hospital. Henry was crying in his mother's arms while Dr. Whale explained everything. Regina huffed and yelled at him with her orders of authority. The doctor was afraid of the mayor and hesitantly nodded then ran back to the emergency room where Snow was held in with the doctors and nurses.

Ruby witnessed everything by investigating the bullet from the loft and searched for an answer. She was frustrated with the evidences and looked around in the loft but it was none at all. The brunette waitress decided to come back to the station to investigate on David's position where he was falling over on the chair after she found him.

In her heart, it was clenching for Emma's life to be alive but she was worrying about Storybrooke True Love Couple and their family. She finally called the mayor with an explanation of no evidences in the loft and station. Regina was angry with the murderer who killed Emma's family and embraced her son with her eyes shut out. In her mind, she was praying for everyone's safety and decided to make an announcement soon after getting the news about Henry's grandparents.

Few hours later, Dr. Whale came in to find them in disheveled positions on the chair. He cleared his throat to wake Regina up and let Henry sleep in her arms. The brunette mayor groaned after hearing his voice and opened her eyes to look at him.

"Hello."

"Hi. Is everything all right for Snow and David?" Regina asked.

"Yes and no."

"What is it?" The brunette woman was concerned about Emma's parents but had some sympathy for them because it was Emma's parents after all. They fought against their skins for the years and everyone in the town already knew that Snow and Regina had famous history.

"David is stable and I gave him some painkillers. Also, for Snow… she is in coma right now. She was lucky that she missed the chance of getting shot in her heart. It was targeting through her lung. We've been placing her on the alternative one for her to breathe properly. I have no knowledge how long we keep her with the alternative one until the recovery of the lung. Any questions?"

"No, thanks. Can we see them?" She asked. Dr. Whale nodded and gestured them along to their room where David and Snow were. Henry was yawning and walking with his mother to see his grandparents. Regina thanked the doctor and came in with her son to see them. The brown-haired boy started to sob when he saw his grandmother in the coma with a lot of tubing. Regina felt her heart coming up in her throat and closed her eyes to hear her son's wailing heart.

It was a painful day for her to see everything collapsing on her. She didn't realize that she had a lot of burden on herself when it came to Emma's death on the first day then Snow and David's terrifying news. The brunette woman sat down on the chair and comforted her son in her arms while watching Storybrooke True Love's Couple on their bed.
