Family Ties (Rumbelle)

Chapter 55

Rumples POV

"We need to get her out of there!" I said furiously.

"I know - and we will!" Emma said hopefully.

"We have to...you have no idea what they are doing to her..." I seethed.

"Manual labour - Yeh been there done that, no thanks to your s- uh..."

No thanks to my Bae.

"I didn't witness that - what I did was much worse - much," I tried not to take all my anger out on Emma.

"Like what?" She frowned, stopping what she was doing.

"Injecting her with, with, well I don't know what but it's not good!"

"Woah woah woah, what? Injecting her? They only do that to the "mental" ones? I made it pretty clear on her report that she wasn't in their for that reason and wouldn't need anything like that!?" She said, shocked.

"Oh but that's not the worst part - lets just say Belle is the only women there and-"

"Gold stop, I got it..." She said, thankfully not making me say what they were doing to her.

"That's not right," Emma said, grabbing her jacket.

"Where are you going?" I asked, hurriedly following her.

"You know where I'm going, coming with me?" she's going to the asylum.

"I got thrown out of their earlier, they might not let you in if you're with me," I asked, ignoring my need to see Belle, thinking of what would be better for her.

"I'm the sheriff, they'll let us in," she smirked.

She unlocked her 'bug' and slid in.

I got in the passenger seat and we set off.

Emma tapped her nails on the wheel, she wants to say something, but she doesn't know how.

I gaze out of the window, letting her know I'm not in the mood for a 'heart to heart' over my boy. Not now.

After a silent slightly awkward journey, we arrived.

"Sheriff Swan, I need to see a patients file," Emma demand to a male nurse at the desk.

Could he be one that's hurting Belle? Even if he's not, I still gave him one of my best Mr Gold glares.

"Uh, not sure I can permit that - I'll go get Dr Far-"

"I'm kinda in a hurry, if you just let us in the file room we will find out ourselves and be in and out no questions asked," Emma smiled.

To my surprise, the man nodded and led us to a door which he unlocked with a key card.

It feels wrong knowing that Belle's here somewhere, suffering. I wonder if I could leave Emma looking for her file and go see her, even if it's just for a minute.

"Emma can I-"

"Go see Belle?" She read my thoughts.

"In a minute, but we really need to find this file," she said, rifling through a cabinet.

Fine.

After 10 excruciating minutes, I found it.

"Emma," i say, opening it.

"Finally! Okay let's see..." she said, beside me turning the pages.

"wait, 'stage 10 patient - isolation unit - needs to be handled with care, a danger to herself and others," Emma read.
