Operation: save the kids

Chapter 8

Emma's POV

"Oh my god." I said aloud.

I realized who sent the letter. I put the letter we got on Christmas Eve and the letter from Neal on my bedside table. I looked at them for a while, not wanting to believe they were from the same person. The person who was the father of my 2 children who I thought was dead, also took 4 children and an adult.

I was shocked and didn't really want to believe it. Even if I didn't want to believe it, I knew it was true. Both of the letters were hand written and the hand writing was a perfect match.

I went downstairs to tell Regina and Killian. They told me to go upstairs and get some rest but this was to important not to share.

"Guys guys guys guys guys guys guys guys." I said going down the stairs waving the letters around in the air to get their attention. "Neal took the kids."

"You mean the Neal who was killed by my sister?" Regina asked.

"Yep."

"The Neal who is the child to 2 of your children?" Killian asked

"Uh-huh." I replied.

"Hmm." They said in unison, defeated.

"The hand writing matches perfectly. The motives for why he has taken the kids and your sister are clear."

"We should call Snow and David to tell them who they're looking for." Regina suggested.

"Good idea. I'll go call them."

Killian's POV

We dropped the kids off with granny. Emma and Regina put a shield type thing (I don't bloody know what any of this magic stuff is called) over granny's to keep them safe.

We got in the car with Emma driving.

"Where to?" She asked.

"Love, come here."

She leaned in close and we shared a kiss for what seemed like forever.

"That was nice."

"Aye, very much so. Let's start at the docks."

"Aye." She said, mocking me. "To the docks."

She started the car but before she could press the gas pedal she got a text. She opened the text. Emma gasped and dropped her phone.

"Love, what does it say?"

I picked up the phone and also gasped. I then looked over at Emma and she seemed frozen. The picture was of all of the kids including Neal and Roland. There was a girl beside Henry that I've never seen before. And then, holding the babies, there was Zelena. She was the only one with tape on her mouth to keep her from talking. She was also the only one in a chair.

I felt like a recognized that place but before I could do any further investigation Emma took the phone from my hands and started speeding towards the docks. She looked very angry but she still had a tear in her eye.

"Whoa! Emma, love, are you alright?"

She didn't answer and just kept her eyes staring at the road almost hitting several cars. One of them I recognized as David's truck. I also noticed that her hands were gripping the steering wheel so tight, that her knuckles were turning white.

We sped towards the docks while David and snow were right behind us.

We came to a quick stop as Regina poofed her way right in front of us.

Emma got out of the car and ran the rest of the way to the docks which wasn't very far.

The rest of us got out of the car and ran towards her. We caught up to her and me and David grabbed her arms to keep her from going any farther. She fell to the ground as Regina and Snow came to comfort her.

Once she mumbled "they're in that building." She pointed.

"Emma, we really need you to help with whatever is in that building." Regina said.

"Yah. It's ok. I'm fine." She said as she stood up and wiped her newly formed tears. "We need to get them out of that building."

"That's the spirit!" David celebrated.
