MadArcher💚 [Once Upon A Time]

Chapter 17

Tilly's POV:

''But that's insane, right?'' I asked as I followed Rogers to his car. ''People are sane nowadays, this is possible'' Rogers said as he opened the cardoor and got in. I did the same thing. ''I thought I was crazy'' I said. ''There are a lot of crazy people out there'' Rogers smiled as he drove off. I thought about that and he was probably right. 

We went to Henry's house and knocked on the door. Henry opened the door after a minute. ''Detective, Tilly, not on the run again, aren't you?'' he asked slightly sarcastic. ''No, we need your help'' Rogers said. I nodded. He let us in. ''What do you need?'' he asked. ''Do you have your storybook here?'' Rogers asked. I sat down on his couch and looked around. Henry gave Rogers the book. He sat down next to me and we looked into it. ''Could be possible'' Rogers mumbled and I agreed. ''I am sorry, why are you here?'' Henry asked. ''We are looking for a missing girl'' Rogers said without looking up from the book. ''Weren't you looking for her months ago and found her?'' Henry asked. ''That was Eloise. Margot West has been kidnapped a week ago'' Rogers said. ''Wait, Kelly's daughter? Why her?'' Hnery asked. ''Because Kelly got a box'' I said and Rogers nodded. ''And why do you need my book?''

''Because this killer thinks he is a character of your book, specifically, he thinks he is Hansel'' Rogers explained. ''That is crazy.''

''That is what I said, but the Detective said people are crazy nowadays!'' I said. 

We worked the rest of the rest of the day, trying the figure out who he was. We needed a name. We needed a location. And with his book we weren't getting anywhere. ''Detective, this is not working'' I sighed as we walked back to his car. ''I know, but what else can we do?''

''I don't know...''

A few days later Rogers came to visit me. ''We have a new problem!'' he said. ''That doesn't sound good'' I sighed. ''I went to Henry this morning, but he was gone. I went to Jacinda and she said he skipped town for a job interview. He had texted her that he was alright, but together we found out that Henry was not the one who sent it. It was Nick. The Candy Killer is Nick. We need to go to his apartment and find Henry there'' Roger said and I immediately stepped into his car. He drove to Nicks apartment. 

''Stay here'' Rogers said to me and went into the building. ''Yeah, screw that'' I whispered to myself and followed him. I saw everything. Rogers kicked the door in and held his gun in the air. He saw Henry, tied up in the living room. He checked the rest of the apartment, but Nick was gone. ''Rogers!'' he said relieved. I walked into the apartment and untied Henry. ''I told you to wait in the car!'' Rogers said. ''Yeah, well, I... sorry'' I said as I helped Henry get up his feet. ''Margot?'' I yelled. Rogers gestured that I should be quiet. ''She's not here'' Rogers sighed as he put down his gun. I sighed too.
