Finding You Always

Rescue and Reunion

Chapter 155: Rescue and Reunion

Ivy sat in boredom in the passenger seat of David's car, as he drove. She had insisted on sitting up front, leaving Mary to sit in the backseat, much to her chagrin. David wasn't happy about her tagging along either and ignored all her suggestions about where to start looking. So when Mary said she knew someone that knew the neighborhood really well and that they might know something, David listened to her without question and headed for the Fremont Troll bridge. Ivy was clearly annoyed, but was ignored when she suggested this was a waste of time.

David parked his car under the bridge and they got out, as Mary looked for her friend.

"Tilly?" she called, as the girl seemingly appeared out of no where, sitting atop the troll. Tilly was Mary's friend and also an unfortunate patient of Dr. Facilier, but Snow knew she was really Alice, daughter of their son-in-law, Killian Jones. She and David had immediately taken to Alice upon first meeting her, treating her as if she was already their grandchild, even before Emma and Killian had gotten married. And it pained Snow to know that here in this place, Tilly was homeless and lived in a shelter most of the time.

"Mary?" she asked in disbelief. The raven haired beauty smiled, as the girl jumped down.

"Hi Tilly," she greeted, as the girl hugged her.

"How did you get away from Dr. Samdi?" she asked. Mary smiled.

"My friend, Detective Nolan helped me. I got my son back too," she replied, as Tilly eyed David skeptically.

"You can trust him, Tilly. He's a friend," Mary assured, as she gave David a warm smile.

"What about her?" the blonde asked, looking at Ivy.

"You can ignore her...she's not important," Mary replied, making David snicker.

"Excuse me? We are trying to find my niece...and instead we're here wasting time!" Ivy exclaimed. David put his hand up.

"Go sit in the car," he ordered.

"I don't take orders from you, Detective. You, however, are working for me and my mother," Ivy replied, with an air of superiority.

"No...only one of us works for your mother and that's you. I work for Captain Weaver and the people of this city," he corrected.

"You know Weaver?" Tilly questioned, as he turned to her.

"He's my boss...and we're looking for a mother and her little girl," David responded.

"Are they in trouble? Are you going to arrest the Mom?" Tilly asked.

"No...I'm not arresting anyone. We just want to find them and make sure they're okay," David replied.

"He's right...they might be in danger. Have you seen them?" Mary asked, as David handed her the photo. Tilly looked at it and then back at them, before glowering at Ivy.

"Car...now..." David ordered. Ivy gave him a death glare, but did as he asked this time and got back in the car.

"I saw them going toward the Harbor that leads to Bainbridge," she revealed. Mary smiled and hugged her.

"Thank you Tilly," she said, as she and David got back in the car. Tilly watched them go, before trekking off to a nearby warehouse where Weaver was waiting for her.

"They're together...I thought you said that was too dangerous," Tilly inquired.

"Oh, it is...but the time has come for change in Hyperion Heights and for everything that must happen now, only they can set it all in motion," Weaver said cryptically.
