Alliance: Golden Queen

Even The Drak One Has Hobbies

Henry ran up the stairs to his room. He saw the proof with his own eyes. Mr. Gold had magic! He grabbed his walkie talkie, "Emma, Emma!"

"Yah kid?" Emma answered from the other one.

"Mr. Gold was kissing my mom and I.."

"Mr. Gold was kissing you mom! Eww." Emma interrupted.

"Yah, I know. Anyway, I walked in and saw them. He wanted to leave, but my mom wouldn't let him. Then they got into a fight. He said he would do it, but my mom told him not to. Then he disappeared in a cloud of purple smoke!"

Emma took a couple second to take it in, "Okay kid, I will go to his shop and check it out."

"Thanks Emma!"

Emma walked out of the sheriff's station and headed to Gold's shop. When she got there the sign said closed. She tried the door: locked. Emma decided to use an old trick she learned from Neal.

She really wanted to get in and see what was happening. She didn't think Henry would lie about something he saw with his own eyes.

The door swung open, "Gold, ya here?" There was a small glow coming from back room.

The glow stopped and gold emerged from the back room, "Yes, of course. It is my shop. Did you not see the closed sign, or the locked door for that matter?"

"Yah, I came to check out a tip."

"And that some gives you the right to break into my shop?"

"Gold, I don't have time for you crap."

He gave an over dramatic gasp, "My crap miss. Swan? Who exactly gave you this tip?"

"It was an anonymous tip."

He rolled his eyes, "Was it the boy again. He is crazy."

"What makes you think it's Henry?"

"Well, I saw him today. He called me Rumblshiltskim or some other nonsense. He went on and on about it."

"Hum." Emma looked a Gold, who was now standing about five feet away from her, "And you leg healed?"

"Yes miss. Swan." He demanded angrily.

"That was a pretty heavy lip to heal itself overnight! Gold, what aren't you telling me?"

"I have nothing to hide."

"Then you won't mind me checking the back?"

"If you must."

They walked into the back room. There was nothing out of normal except three vials of different color liquid, "What's this?" Emma pointed to them.

"Chemistry. Even the.. I have hobbies."

"The what?" Emma looked at him suspiciously.

"I wouldn't know what your talking about."

She glared at him, "I guess I'm going now."

Gold nodded and she left. When he was sure she was gone he sat back down and continued his work to find the proper mixture so he could cross the town line.
