Regina and Robin arrived at Granny's only a minute later. It looked the same as Regina's office. Trashed. Everyone was either on the ground or hiding out of fear. On the floor, there was a mess of food, shattered plates, and even some.. bullet shells? Robin turned to Red who was behind the counter in a state of shock as she gaped at her restaurant.

"What the hell happened here?" Red shook her head.

"I don't know, it was like a normal day and then I blinked as if no time had gone by and the whole place is like this," she gestured to the whole building and its filthiness.

"Robin?" There was a petite voice coming from the corner of the room.

"Marian, are you okay?" Robin rushed over to his wife's side. Regina awkwardly followed Robin, but gave them their space to deal with what had happened. Marian acknowledged that Regina was present but didn't greet her, for she knew things would be rocky between them due to Robin's choice.

"Robin, I don't know what happened!" She started crying. Robin grabbed her shoulders lightly and brought her in for a hug.

"Shhh.. please, Marian, tell me everything that you can remember. This isn't the only thing like this to happen. There have been two more incidents," Robin paused and then let go of Marian and looked up at Regina with large eyes. Oh my God. They looked around in panic. Marian held up a note...

"Marian... where's Rolland?" Regina panicked.  Marian shook her head bursting into tears.

"I don't know!" She yelled crumpling the note.

"No, don't do that!" Regina yelled snatching it from her hands and straightening it out.

"Why not, what does it matter to you?" Marian asked.

"Because if you've been paying attention and listening to what's been going on in the town, you'd know that this is a ransom," Regina snapped back. Robin took the note from Regina and read it.

"He has Rolland, and he said you should have taken his other deal. Now Rolland will die too? Is that what this means," he gestured shaking the note in the air. Regina nodded unsure as Marian covered her mouth with both hands. Regina helped Marian stand and hugged her tightly. She knew what it felt like, to lose a child. Her, Emma, the Charmings, and now Robin and Marian? He was trying to destroy the town. For what? Immortality? She let Marian go and stormed outside of Granny's.

"Gold, get your ass out here. Let's do this, just me and you. Dark One to Sorceress! Come on!" She was yelling at nothing, but a crowd started to draw closer watching her go completely insane. There was a laugh behind her, but it wasn't Gold.

"Darling, you look utterly pathetic." A familiar British woman chuckled, making Gina freeze immediately. She turned her head slowly and caught a glimpse of the slender black and white figure.

"Why isn't this a surprise... Cruella."
