"Maybe it's destiny"

Interrogating Game

"Holly shit!"
Emma yelled and held her mother's hand.
"Turns out this case is even more complicated than you think."

David mumbled and approached the body to examine it.
"Well there's only one thing we know for sure! He didn't commit suicide... there are bruises all over his body. Plus... there's something engraved on his back..."

He narrowed his eyes taking a look on the bleeding wounds and put on a pair of latex gloves to examine the deep cut.

"How did the perp had access to your room anyway?"
Snow asked and paced up and down in the room nervously. As much strong as she tried to seem, this time she was getting really worried. All these years she was so used to be facing dark magic and dragons that she almost forgot how much crueler real murders are.

"It's probably someone from the hotel."
Regina shook her head negatively not leaving Henry's side for a second.

"It's Robin."
She mumbled and glared over at David who seemed to be quite confused while examining the wound.
"The cut was so carefully made. There's not a single mistake when it comes to the pressure he applied and the straight lines he engraved."

David confessed and pressed his lips together skeptically.
"How do you know Regina? He might left prison but that doesn't mean that he's here. Maybe he's just messing with you."

"He's not. What about that emma?"
She asked and pulled emma towards the hanged man. Emma approached her father and her brunette lover that kept staring at a specific symbol on Michaels's back.

"A lion..."
She whispered in shock and looked at Regina with wary in her eyes.
"As the lion tattoo."
The brunette replied in desperation and rubbed her forehead.

"Someone must be helping him. He can't just move around the hotel without anyone noticing. Especially us."
Snow mentioned and crossed her hands underneath her chest retaining her strong face.

Regina remained silent. She was 90% sure about the person that must be helping Robin but she wasn't ready to reveal that information. She couldn't just risk ruining Emma's family in case Killian was actually innocent. She doubted that case scenario though, but she had to be thorough about this.

"I can interrogate every hotel employe."
Emma announced and grabbed her cellphone preparing herself to leave.
"You can't go alone. I'm coming with you."

David said and tried to stop her from exiting the room.
"Dad this is not storybrooke. Reality is much more different than a magic land... people here are dangerous... and humanity is almost extinguished."

David looked at her filled up with worried. He knew he was in no place to run after a bad guy in this land but he couldn't just let his daughter do it all alone. After all he knew Robin... they shared the same pain and anger for Regina even though robin decided to do something about it while David decided to forgive the former queen.

"I don't care. Your mother is gonna help Regina transfer the body to the coroner while we will be interrogating the employees."
Emma agreed with a nod of her head and exited the room escorted by her father.

"Hey kid... why don't you get in our room and have some time to yourself for a while? We need to work and I really need you to be safe!"
Regina kneeled down next to Henry and hold both his hands lovingly.

Henry was about to protest when snow interrupted as usual.
"Your mother is right kiddo."
Regina looked at her in surprise. She would have never expected that Snow would have actually called her Henry's mother after all that disaster she had caused..
