Chapter 10: That Still Small Voice
"So...I'm sure you've heard by now?" Jefferson said, as he joined them in behind the counter.
"That that bastard is walking free again?" David growled.
"I warned you. Regina will never let one of her cronies be locked up. Circumventing the law in this stupid town is easy for her," he said.
"There has to be something we can do," Charming said in exasperation.
"Well, aside from killing him, I don't see what other option there is," Rumple said.
"We tried that back in the Enchanted Forest. How did he survive that? I watched him burn," David replied.
"I know of only one way to bring someone back from the dead," Rumple revealed.
"Wait...you always said there wasn't a way. It defies the laws of magic," Jefferson said.
"It does...but if Hades wanted to revive him, he could make it happen," Rumple revealed.
"Why would Hades want to bring Deimos back to life?" David asked.
"Deimos is his most evil nephew and is a very loyal henchman. As you know, he's kept Hades in business and sent many to the Underworld," Rumple replied.
"No...there's more than that," David said.
"And when the curse is broken, the time for you and your wife to know everything will come. For now, he's still Damon Tromera," Rumple stated.
"And he's still obsessed with my wife. He wants to hurt Mary Margaret and I don't care if they do throw me jail, I'll stop him by any means necessary," David said.
"Yeah, I have a feeling it's a good thing the curse happened to give you a license to practice law," Jefferson drawled, looking at Gold.
"I do still own most of this town and will be ready to go head to head with Regina when the time comes," he said. David saw the time on the clock and sighed.
"I'm going to go surprise Mary Margaret at work and try to take her mind off all of this," he said.
"See you later, lover boy. I won't expect to see you home again," Jefferson teased.
"You tease me, but he's the one that just gave Belle the library," David teased back, as he and Wilby left through the back way. Jefferson smirked at him.
"Not a word," he growled.
"The Dark One's got game," Jefferson commented.
"Get out," Gold spat. Jefferson chuckled and made his way to back exit.

After Regina called him about the shuddering that was rippling through town, he had received several more calls and it was determined by several citizens that the source of the rumblings seemed to be coming from the old mines.
"What's the Emergency?" Emma asked, as she arrived, joining Graham at the mouth of the old mining tunnels.
"I didn't call for you Miss Swan," Regina snapped.
"But I did...she is my deputy," Graham replied, as the curious townspeople gathered around.
"What happened?" Emma asked.
"One of the old mining tunnels had a cave in," Graham explained.
"Yes, I want you to petition this whole area off," Regina said, as she turned to the people.
