{Regina's POV}
Killian was a terrible driver. Of course, he had been in Storybrooke a short amount of time, so he drove like a reckless teenager. Robin even ended up on Regina's lap at one point due to a rough right turn. Emma was used to it though and didn't seem to mind.

"Hey, we almost there?" Robin asked prying himself off of Regina's lap. Emma looked back at the sight.

"Killian you're gonna kill us, slow down," Emma said sternly. The obedient puppy slowed the rest of the way to the Charming residence. Putting on the breaks, Killian and the others piled out quickly. Pounding on the door, Mary Margaret answered with a strange look on her face.

"David!" She called back in the house. "Come here! Something's up!" She yelled as Charming came jogging towards the door. Emma gave him a look so recognizable, that he walked straight back in the house and grabbed his sword and halter.

"You can tell us on the way?" He asked as Emma nodded. Trying to fit four people in the backseat was a struggle, but they managed. Regina ended up happily on Robin's lap to make room. Mary Margaret had called Red asking if she could drop Neal off. Ruby broke down and said she shouldn't hold that kind of responsibility.

"What's wrong with Ruby?" Mary Margaret asked turning to Emma. Regina swallowed. Here we go.

"She was watching Liam when Zelena came and kidnapped him..." Emma stated calmly. She had been extremely intense about this whole thing, which she had a right to be, but Regina had never seen Emma like this.

{Emma's POV}
After explaining the whole story to Mary Margaret and David, Emma was beyond exhilarated. She had to reach her son soon, otherwise who knows what that wicked witch could be doing to him?

"Emma... Killian... I'm so very sorry," Mary Margaret sympathized resting a hand on Emma's shoulder. It was indeed an awkward situation that neither of them quite knew how to handle. Neither Emma or Killian responded. They silently drove to where the supposed "Marian" was staying due to the split with Robin. She had cleared everything out.

"The farm... or the barn... those are the two places she would be," Killian concluded starting the car back up and speeding down the street. They stopped by the farm, and nothing. They stopped by the barn, and nothing. Running out of options, Killian decided to drive to Mr Gold's shop for help. He would possibly know where to look, or he even may possibly help himself. A phone in the back started to ring, and Regina reached in her pocket answering.

"Henry?" She asked looking confused. "Now's not really a good time sweetie.. I have to help-". There was mumbling on the other side as her eyes widened. "Who is this and what have you done with my son?!" She exclaimed causing everyone to turn and look in horror.

"What the hell's going on?" Emma asked starting to panic all over again. Regina held a hand up blindly in her direction trying to listen to the other line.

"You listen to me... If you touch one hair on his head I promise you it'll be the very last thing you EVER do.." She threatened. "Where are you? I'm coming." She claimed waiting for a while before chuckling with a hint of darkness creeping from her throat. "You think you're gonna get away with this? You're nothing but a child!" She spat before hanging up. The car sat in silence waiting for Regina to elaborate.

"What's going on with Henry?" Robin asked breaking the silence. Emma started putting the puzzle pieces together figuring out what the hell was happening.

"It's Pan... I knew we shouldn't have trusted him," Emma mumbled towards Killian and Regina. Hook looked in her direction sympathetically.

"He took Herny.. he still wants the heart of the truest believer.." Regina shuddered just thinking about what Pan could possibly be doing to her son at that point. Would he be cursed?Would he be dead?

There was talking in the back of the car, but Emma blocked it out. Both of her sons had been taken. What was she supposed to do? She couldn't just look for one and not the other... how was she supposed to decide which one to save first? Regina's voice pulled Emma out of her spiraling thoughts.

"Robin, Mary Margaret and I are going to split off and look for Henry. You guys keep going to look for Liam." She concluded, and before Emma could reply, the three disappeared in a cloud of purple smoke, and Emma's heart sank feeling guilty. Her ears started ringing, and she couldn't hear anything but the high pitched buzzing they produced. Killian was trying his hardest to get her attention but keep his eyes on the road. Her father, she assumed, was talking at her as well, but she didn't care. Emma looked out the window and closed her eyes. She felt nothing, heard nothing, spoke, nothing. It didn't take a specialist to notice she was on a dark path towards absolute insanity.
