After everything that happend, I really lost track of time. I walked towards Emma, Mary Margaret, Graham and Henry as they all stood in front of the ICU room. I gave them all their coffee as we continue to watch the nurses work on John Doe. Mary Margaret was a hero back in the Toll Bridge, she saved his life as we waited for the ambulance.

Suddenly a blond woman ran inside the room, tears falling from her eyes as she stood next to the bed. ''David!'' she yelled and we all looked at her confused. I haven't seen this woman before in my life, who the hell was she?

''Who is she?'' Mary Margaret asked, as the nurses took her out of the room so doctor Whale could do his job.

''His wife.'' a voice said from behind us and we all turned around to see Regina. I sighed, of course. ''His name is David Nollan and that's his wife, Kathrine.'' Regina continued while Graham had walked away. Probably back to the prencipt. ''And the joy on her face...well...that's what made me forgive what you did.'' she said, looking at Emma. ''We'll talk about this later. Do you know what this means?'' she asked Henry. ''It means you're grounded.'' she finished and Henry sighed.

''Thank you.'' David's wife, Kathrine, told me with a kind smile. I smiled back.

''That's what I'm here for, allthough, she's the one that you should thank.'' I told her and pointed at Mary Margaret.

''Thank you for finding my David.'' Kathrine told Mary Margaret, who was totally uncomfortable.

''I don't understand...'' Mary Margaret said shaking her head. ''You didn't know he was here, in a coma?'' she asked her.

''A few years back, David and I were through rough times. It was my fault, I know that now. I was dificult and unsupportive. I told him if he didn't like things he could leave and he did and I didn't stop him. It was the worst mistake I ever made.'' Kathrine explained. For some reason I was suspisious about her.

''You didn't go and look for him?'' I asked her.

''I thought he left town all this time. Now I know why I never heard from him.'' she explained and I couldn't help but find this very suspisious. That man has been here in the only hospital in town, in a coma, for years. She was here in the same town and never saw him?

''Now I get to do what I wanted to do forever. Apologise. Now we have a second chance.'' Kathrine said with a smile and we all smiled at her slightly. Exept me.

''That's wonderful.'' Mary Margaret told her.

''I would like to ask a few more questions about this case.'' I told her Kathrine and she nodded.

''Of course.'' she said but Regina stepped between us.

''I think it has been a long night. You did your job, detective, you found her husband. Let's not tire them longer. They have been through a lot.'' Regina told me with a smirk and I tried really hard not to punch her in the face. I put on a fake smile and nodded.

''Of course, madame mayor.'' I told her.

''It's simply a miracle.'' Whale said, walking out of the room.

''He's ok?'' Kathrine asked him.

''Physically he's recovering. His memory, though, is another issue. It will take time for him to remember.'' he continued.

''What brought him back?'' Mary Margaret asked him.

''That's the thing. There's no explanation. Something just...clicked in.'' he explained.

''So, he just woke up and decided to go for a walk?'' Emma asked.

''He woke and the first thing was go and find something, I guess.'' Whale said.
