"No no. Regina this is not what I meant... is just you're..."
Emma couldn't actually come up with a better explanation. Regina raised her eyebrow and then bit her lips disappointed.
"Save it... who's that guy? You know anything about him?"

Regina asked and cleared her throat uncomfortable. Emma cracked her fingers cursing the moment she didn't find any other explanation to ease Regina's pain.

"He's name is robin... that's the only thing we know..."
Regina stayed still. Eyes wide open, her throat baron and her head spinning.

"NO!"
Was the only thing she could say and run to the surgery room screaming his name. Emma and Neal run behind her worried but Regina wouldn't stop. Her heart pacing so fast like it was about to explode.

Her lips trembling, her legs burning from running and three nurses running behind her to stop her. One of them grabbed her hand.

"Madam mayor I'm really sorry but you can't go in there. The doctors are in the middle of a surgery."
"No! I have to see him!"
She screamed and punched the door of the surgery room.

Hot tears running down her cheeks. Deep inside her she knew it was him but her mind wouldn't let her believe that.
"Regina what's going on?"
Emma asked exhausted of running.

"Are you sure it was robin?"
"Yes!"
Neal and Emma answered in unison.
"he was Blonde?"
She asked shaking.

The blonde woman nodded her head and Neal followed.
Silence conquered the entire room. The tears couldn't stop. She just couldn't help herself. It was him... She knew... She sat on the chair and Emma sat next to her.

"You know him?"
Emma dared to ask.
"What do you think?"
The brunette answered ironically and wiped away her tears with a tissue. Neal handed her a cup of hot tea and gave her a warm encouraging smile.

Regina spelled thank you and looked at the floor.
"Where's Henry?"
"My mum is taking care of her."
Emma answered to calm her down.
"Of course... "

"Who is he Regina?"
Neal asked her and she drunk a sip of the tea.
"He's my best friend... Its a big story."
She managed to say before Emma ask her how can she know him.

Then she crossed her hands under her chest and her face sight turned to a deadly one.
"I'm gonna find out who did this to him and when I'll do that, I'll destroy his happiness if it's the last thing I'll do."

"This is not a good idea Gina..."
Emma spelled terrified and bit her nail.
"Why? At you afraid I'm gonna be the evil queen again?"
"STOP IT! For God's sake! I would never judge you for who you are Gina... I know you well enough to not be afraid of you turning to your bad side again."

"The beast is awake Emma..."
Regina said and grabbed her purse and stood up.

"Where are you going?"
Neal asked.
"None of your business."
She said and a purple smoke surrounded her till she disappeared. Emma stood up and wore her leather red jacket.

"We need to find her. Can't live her alone. She's dangerous."
Neal agreed and followed Emma out of the hospital.

Regina appeared in front of Snow White's door and rung the doorbell. She could hear someone humming from the inside of the house a lullaby. Suddenly the door opened and snow white was standing in front of her smiling.

"How are you madam mayor?"
"Oh I'm great sweetie... you just made my day."
She answered to the shining sunshine smiling to her ironically. Snow white's smile was now erased and her face turned serious.

"Can I help you?"
"I want my son."
She demanded with nerve.
"Come in Regina. You look like something is bothering you. Care for a cup of tea?"

Snow asked innocently aware that something was wrong with the mayor and former enemy.
"Snow I don't have time for your stupid questions. Just give me Henry."

"I'm not sure I can do that..."
"What do you mean by that?"
Regina laughed sarcastically.
"You don't look like yourself."
Snow emphasized...

"This is not your problem. Give me my son."
"This is not happening."
Regina gave snow a death glare and was about to start a fight when Henry showed up next to snow trying to calm them down.

"Its ok! I'm coming with you mum... I packed my stuff!"
"Henry!"
Snow spelled but Henry squeezed her hand.
"Let's go."
"That's my boy"
Regina said and smiled broadly. She hugged Henry and walked away of Snow's house...
