Script tease for Sunday. The first one is on Adam Horowitz's Twitter.

Emma panicked. Whoever this person is, was involved with her parents' car crash. She quickly texted back.

'Who are you?!?!'

The response came in almost as fast as she sent it.

'Somebody that you used to know.'

'I used to know a lot of people. Be specific.'

'Nice try Emma, but you won't get me to crack that easily. Bye-Bye.'

'Tell me who you are you coward!'

No answer. She raised her hand up as if to throw the phone, but then she dropped it onto the bed. 'He can't think that anything is wrong. I can't make it look like I'm being stalked and blackmailed.' Emma thought. "Just pretend like nothing happened." She said to herself under her breath. She walked back out to the living room where Killian was pacing. She could tell that he was in an intense conversation. She waited patiently in the door frame for him to finish.

"Just bloody do it!" He yelled then hung up. He turned around and jumped slightly when he saw Emma.

"What was that about?" Emma asked tracing her finger on the door frame.

"Nothing." He gave her a fake smile.

Emma didn't push. She knew he was hiding something from her, and she was hiding something from him. When they decided to confess about what it was, they would be even. She nodded and grabbed her coat. "I'm going for a drive. Want to come?"

"Depends where we're going love." He said pinning her beside the door.

"Just around. I want to get used to the campus."

He nodded, grabbed his jacket, then leaned in as if to kiss her. She closed her eyes, but heard the door open, and running footsteps go out. She rolled her eyes and went after him.

She found him in the parking lot next to her bug. "Swan open the car." He whined.

"I should let you die from the heat because you refused to kiss me."

"Swan." He whined even louder.

She opened the car and he got in. The heat inside of the car was worse then the outside. He rolled the window down and they were off to their new college campus.

"Swan, look! A Starbucks!" Killian said pointing to the green building on his side.

Emma furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. "Starbucks?"

"You've never been to Starbucks?" He asked in disbelief.

"I've barely been outside of Storybrooke! I've heard about it but I've never been there."

"Go back to it! You have to try something."

She nodded reluctantly then turned the car around, and went into the parking lot for the cafe.

"Okay, they have a lot of things here, and it is all really good. Especially the hot chocolates."

Emma's eyes widened. She was going to get a hot chocolate with cinnamon. Once they got inside, the aroma from the coffee, milk, and spices filled her nose. She instantly loved it. She followed Killian to the line and they placed their drinks. After getting them, they went back to the car. They finished the tour of their new school. Emma didn't want to go home though. She wanted to ride around so nobody could find her. Especially the unknown stalker that was following her. She felt her phone go off in her pocket, and knew. Wave after wave of fear struck her body. What did this guy want? Why was he doing this? What connections did he heave with Neal? Could it be the same guy that emailed her in the beginning? She pulled up into the parking lot. She shut the car off and leaned over to get out when Killian grabbed her wrist.

"What Jones?" She asked somewhat annoyed.

"I wanted to tell you something." He said.

"Okay, well you have my attention, as seeing that I'm not going to go anywhere."

He rolled his eyes, then pressed his lips to hers. She pulled away after a minute, and leaned her forehead against his. "That's what you wanted to tell me?"

He shook his head. "My dad got ahold of me."

"Was that who you were talking to?"

Killian took a sharp breath. "No."

"Who was it?"

He sighed. "Maine State Prison. Someone broke Neal out of jail."

More fear racked her body. This means that Neal can come and get her. Her stalker knows exactly where she lives. He could easily tell Neal. Killian noticed the look of concern on her face.

"It's okay. He can't find us, and he won't." He said putting his hand on her thigh and moved it up and down her leg.

She put on a fake smile. "I know." She grabbed her empty coffee cup and got out of the car. She hid in the women's restroom off of the lobby in the apartment building. She took out her phone and saw a text.

'No doubt that you and your boy toy don't know about Neal's break out. You haven't told anyone have you?'

'Who are you?! What do you want from me?!'

'Answer the question Emma, or I pull the plug.'

'What does that even mean?'

'It means that I will bring your fate closer to the due date.'

'No I haven't told anyone.'

There wasn't a response after that. She got more worried. She ran out of the bathroom and saw a man who looked like Killian. She snuck passed him and up to her room, where Killian was pacing nervously. He looked up at her and hugged her.

"Woah Killian! I've only been gone for ten minutes." Emma said with a slight giggle.

"Did you see a man downstairs?"

She nodded. "Why?"

"That's my dad. He wants to be reunited with me, and I don't think that I can see him."

Emma put her hands on his shoulders. "What did he do to you?"

"I told you. He walked out on me a year ago."

"There is something else."

He took a deep breath. "I'm not ready to talk about it yet."

Emma nodded and hugged him. "Whatever you decide to do will before the the best. I know that you will make the right choice." She felt the phone buzz in her pocket. Guilt washed over her.

The right thing for her to do was to tell him.
