CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
"Escape Plan"
Lily walked across the dry land with Neal walking beside her. The two had barely said a word to each other before he "died", so their walk as silent and almost awkward. Neal glanced at Lily who was focused on looking straight ahead. He cleared his throat before he asked, "So, why did your kid want mine?"
"I don't know." Lily replied.
"What do you mean you don't know?" Neal asked.
"It means I don't know. How much clearer could I be about that?" Lily sighed.
She had tried to come up with an idea, any idea, as to why Adrienne wanted Henry; but she couldn't think of anything. And she thought about what she would do when she found them. Would she help Adrienne or go against her and save Henry?

Elsewhere on the island, the group walked through the jungle following the map Emma held. Evander hung back towards the back of the group. It made it easier to hide the pain in his face. The dreamshade wound he had was getting worse by the minute; but he still hadn't told anyone. Except for Killian.
Emma held the map out for the group to see; and told them of the plan she and Tinkerbell had come up with, pointing out the entrance they would take as she talked.
"You'll still have to deal with any lost boys once you're inside." Tinkerbell said.
"I think we can handle a few children with pointy sticks." Regina scoffed.
Tinkerbell turned to look at her, "It's not the sticks you need to worry about. It's the poison they're dipped in."
"Dreamshade." Mary Margaret said, nodding her head. "Hook warned us."
"Good because one nick, and you'll spend the last of..." Tinkerbell began.
But Evander jumped in, finishing the sentence for her. "Poison sticks equal death. We got it. Now, when can we put this rescue mission into action?"
Tinkerbell looked at him, annoyed that he had cut her off mid-sentence. She said, "I'm ready to go, just as soon as you tell me the exit plan. You do have an escape plan, don't you?"
"Get in, grab Henry and get out. That's the plan." Evander said.
"It's more of a last minute trip." Emma said, shrugging her shoulders slightly.
"If you don't have a way off this island, then none of this matters." Tinkerbell said.
"What if Henry isn't even in Pan's camp?" Lorelai asked, causing everyone to look at her. She continued, "You all heard what Pan said to Emma. He doesn't have Henry, my sister does. What makes you think she brought Henry back to Pan's campsite?"
