I swivel back and forth in the comfortable chair at the police station, lost in thought. People have always been easy for me. They go in one of two categories. You're either on my side or you aren't. Hook goes in neither and that is very frustrating to me. By all means, he should go strictly in the 'against me' side but he just...doesn't fit.
I called Regina as soon as I had left the ship and told her of what I found. She was grateful but I could tell she was worried, her mom being back and all. Thankfully, when I went to the station to tell Emma what I had found, she already knew. Archie reappearing had been all the proof she needed.
The phone ringing breaks me out of my thoughts. I reach for the phone with a start as Emma walks in. I hold up a finger since she looks like she's about to say something.
"Sheriff's station." I say blandly, expecting someone to be calling about something mundane like a cat in a tree. Instead, I'm met with Gold's frantic voice.
"Alice? I need you to get to the town line immediately!" He yells and even over the phone I can hear the pure fear in his voice.
"Shit, what happened?" I ask, sitting up straight. Emma looks at me with a questioning look, knowing something's wrong she grabs her keys from her desk.
"Just get here!" He shouts and then a click, indicating he's hung up. I stand up and begin to put on my coat as fast as possible, Emma already in the process of doing the same.
"Where are we going?" She asks as we rush to the police car.
"The town line! That was Mr. Gold on the phone." I tell her, already getting into the passenger side.
"What happened?" She finally asks once she has the car running and we're pulling out of the station.
"He didn't say but he sounded pretty panicked." I answer quietly, a million worst case scenario's running through my mind. There's only one reason that'd cause him of all people to sound panicked. Something happened with Belle.
Please don't be Belle.

When we pull up the first thing I see is a car that's crashed and I sigh a bit in relief, hoping that all of this is just a simple accident. Then I see them, Gold kneeling by Belle's side, who thankfully is still alive, and another figure off to the side who's not moving.
