MAJO WAS SITTING in their little camp and reading a book she had brought with her.

"Why are you always reading? What are you even reading?" Emma asked the warlock.

The catlike eyes became slits and she answered, "It's called 'Shut your mouth and let me read' by I don't give a damn about your opinion" With that, she went back to her book about a detective solving crimes in London.

The plan wasn't that difficult: Tink talked her way in and made sure the coast was clear, then they'd sneak in through the back entrance. They would have to deal with the poisoned weapons of the Lost Boys.

"Now, when can we put this rescue mission into action?" Charming asked.

"I'm ready to go," The Fairy said, "just as soon as you tell me the exit plan."

There was a moment of silence and Majo snorted.

"You do have an escape plan, don't you?" Tink asked.

Snow looked at her, "It's-It's more of a last-minute trip."

"If you don't have a way off this island, then none of this matters."

"We'll figure it out," Regina told her.

"You'll figure it out? no one comes and goes from this place unless he allows it. This is a waste of time."

"You know, you can't really waste time in a place time stands still," Majo told her. The Fairy rolled her eyes.

"When it comes to family, we always find a way," Charming told her.

"You don't get it," Tinker Bell said, "Here. Let me show you something." She pulled out a black wristwatch. "You know what this is?" 

"Yeah, a watch," The Savior said.

"I got it from the people who brought your son here for Pan."

Emma jumped up. "Greg and Tamara? Where are they? Why'd they give you that?"

"I got it from the girl's body. Spent half the night cleaning the blood off it. And the other guy...Well, there wasn't enough left of him to find anything useful. This is what Pan does to people he employs. What do you think he's gonna do to you? I'm not sticking my neck on Pan's chopping block without a way off this island. When you figure that out, you know where I live." The fairy walked away.

"Where the hell is she going?" Snow whispered as loud as possible.

"I'll get her, bring her back," Charming said.

Emma stopped her father, "Don't. She's right. If there's one thing I've learned, you never break in somewhere unless you know the way out."

"And where'd you get that," Regina asked, "in bail bondsperson school?"

"Neal taught me that."

Charming turned to Killian, "What about you, Hook? You got off this island before."

"Yes, aboard my ship, which would require some form of magic to create a portal, which...I got from Pan in a deal I don't think he's ready to repeat."

Regina looked at him, "So no one's ever left the island without Pan's permission."

"One man did, although he must've been a boy back then," Majo spoke up. "Baelfire."

"How?" Emma asked. 

"Maybe we can find out," Killian told her and with a look to Majo, started walking into the jungle again.
