CHAPTER SIXTY
"Evil Ice Cream Truck"


After Regina received a call from Emma, she dragged herself and Lily over to the sheriff's station. Killian, Emma, her parents, Gold, Elsa and Belle were already there. They stood around a TV and watched the footage Emma had found on the old video camera.

"Emma, that's you." Mary Margaret said. "You must be..."

"Thirteen, maybe fourteen." Emma replied.

"Are you missing the part where she's with the Snow Queen?" Regina asked, before turning to face Emma. "Emma, you knew her before you came to Storybrooke?"

"Apparently my run-in with her in town wasn't the only memory she erased." Emma sighed. "All this time in this foster home, or whatever that place was...it's gone."

"Look, I-I just don't understand how she even ended up in this world." Belle said.

"We were hoping Gold could tell us." Emma turned to face him. "You spent more time trying to get here than anyone. How the hell did she do it?"

"Considering the time I spent on the same task, I'd love to know." Gold admitted.

"Does it really matter how she got to Emma? I mean, shouldn't we be more concerned about why?" David asked.

"Obviously, she needed her for something." Lily said. "But what? That's our next problem."

"Well, we know she's hiding somewhere in the north woods. We combed every inch of her shop. We tore apart her house. She must have cleared everything out days before." David said.

"Which means she must be hiding something." Killian said.

"But where?" Emma questioned.

"What about her ice-cream truck?" Henry suggested.

"Whoa, Snow Queen has an ice-cream truck?" Emma asked.

"I'm a kid. I notice these kinds of things." Henry said.

"Then we split up into groups. Search the town, the woods. Hook, Regina, Lilith, Emma, you take the west. Gold, you're with me for the east." David said.

"I think we all know I work best alone. Well, not time to argue that. Belle, how are you at tracking?" Gold asked.

"Uh, actually, I-I think I'll be more helpful at the library." Belle said. "Maybe I can dig something up on the Snow Queen."
