Playing along, Kiliah followed Hook to the library to meet up with Regina and Cora. The only way she was able to look at the witch was with the knowledge that by tomorrow, her precious son would be gone.
Much to her disappointment, however, their library outing seemed mainly to include searching through hundreds of books instead of doing something slightly more progressive.
"Shouldn't we be pillaging his shop or ransacking his home?" Kiliah asked in annoyance, turning away from another shelf.
"That would be the obvious choice, yes," Regina replied, "but Gold wouldn't risk crossing the town line and losing his memory without entrusting the dagger's location to someone."
"Belle," Hook said.
Regina nodded. "My guess is she hid it in one of her beloved books."
Her mother looked over at her with pride. "Impressive, Regina."
"Thank you, Mother."
"I'll be impressed when I'm holding the dagger in my hand," Hook said, as Regina ran her finger along another shelf. Suddenly, she stopped.
"No." She pointed to an empty space in the book shelf. "It should be here."
"Well, it's not, is it?" Kiliah sighed, frustrated. "May we go now?"
"I see your time in the cells taught you little about patience, Kiliah," Regina said, smiling nastily round at her. Kiliah glared back at her.
"Hold on," Cora said, moving forward and pulling out a folded sheet of paper from the space where the book should have been. She unfolds it and frowns. "What's this?"
"Oh, yes. Crude," Hook said, coming over to look. "To the untrained eye, a child's scribbles, but to a pirate... it's a map. Gold may not have hidden the dagger here, but I believe he's left us the next best thing. Its location."
"Can you read it?" Cora asked.
Hook smiled. "Well lucky for you ladies, I'm quite adept at finding buried treasure."
