Rumple moved Killian up against the wall with his hands around his throat.

"I thought we were both men who fought even."

"What are you talking about?" Killian hit his arms away without struggle as Emma and Belle stood beside one another, not sure what to do. They just watched the scene unfold.

"I can swear to you that if you threaten my woman again, I'll kill you Killian!"

"What have I done?"

"This week? Or all those years ago? You and your bastard brother!"

Killian sneered at him before he continued.

"You scuttled my boat, sabotaged my labor and still I reign supreme over you. You cannot handle such a thing therefore you try to scare my girl into leaving me? Or what was your intended purpose?"

"I didn't do anything. I've been with Emma all night..." Rumple turned to Emma who had her arms wrapped around herself. Killian stepped close but Rumple beat him to Emma.

"Do you know about this man? His vile ways dearie?" He paused. "What he has done to me? For his own selfish gain?" She remained quiet before he continued. "He ruined everything I have worked for...for nothing...I lied...his own selfish gain."

"What has he done?" Emma managed to ask as her trembled from my closeness of the stranger.

"He stole my ship, among many things, and hurt many of my men. He's a no-good pirate with only one thing on his mind..."

"What's that?" Killian asked as his expression was an obvious change from prepared to fight to direct anger.

"The next best thing. Does she know about Mila?"

"That's none of your business!" He shouted as Rumple realized he struck a nerve.

"That is all Killian..." He took Belle from the apartment and to the hall before smiling as if he had done something wicked.

"Why are you smiling?"

"It was obvious she did not know of Mila...That should make his unhappiness prolong..."

"Why are you so  hell-bent on making him so upset?"

"He killed my son."
