Flashback

Snow White, Helena and Red Riding Hood were searching for tracks in the forest.

"What about that?" Snow White asked as she pointed to a paw print in the snow.

"That's a dog. See how small that is? Don't look where the snow's drifted, it covers tracks," Helena said.

"Very good, who taught you?" Red Riding Hood asked.

"My brother and the wolves," they looked at Helena, "What? You know my brother and I were abandoned to them," Helena said.

"Right," Red Riding Hood said.

"Hey. Over here," Snow White said and pointed to another animal's paw print.

Helena and Red Riding Hood looked at it, "That...is a rabbit. What we're looking for will be huge. Like a dog print, but big. Like, eight inches across with big, long claws," Red Riding Hood explained.

"Like these?" Snow White asked as she looked at the wolf's paw prints.

Red Riding Hood and Helena looked at a trail of massive paw prints leading through the forest, "Yes. And those...oh, my gods...how big is this thing?" Red Riding Hood said as they looked at the gaps between paw prints.

"This was one stride? From here...to there?" Snow White asked.

"Come on, over there. Through the brush, and off towards the hill," Red Riding Hood said and the three walked through the woods.

"You're good at this," Snow White said.

"When there's something I want, I'm good at tracking it down," Red Riding Hood said.

"When there's something I want, I'm good at tracking it down," Red Riding Hood said

End of Flashback

Elias and Emma were in one of the meeting rooms going over the Kathryn Nolan case, but nothing new was popping out to them, "What do you think they're doing?" Emma asked.

"I gave Henry access to the computer and Ruby wanted to look for a job. So, they're probably doing that," Elias said.

"What do you think she'll go for?" Emma asked.
