Bigby immediately turned away from the girl who massaged his back and focused on the door. The smell of vanilla and roses reached his nose. He stayed still, not wanting to alert whoever the person behind him was.

"Bigby?" (y/n) called again, softly tapping on the door once more. 

"Do you think it's glamour?" The girl behind him spoke up softly.

"Maybe. " he whispered back trying his best to not let her see him reaching for the whiskey bottle. Of course, with his luck, she did.

Before Bigby could grab the bottle, the woman behind him bolted towards the door, and slammed it open, knocking (y/n) down as the glamoured girl ran down the hall to the stairs. Bigby was quick to get out of his office and follow the girl. He was close behind the girl who was running, when suddenly a fire alarm went off, and Bigby was doused in water from the sprinklers, smoke came out of the vents, and when Bigby turned back to where the girl was, he found himself alone in the hallway.

The building was evacuated almost immediately after the fire alarms went off. Bigby was standing out side the woodland mansion with a towel, drying himself off. His partner, (y/n) held a paper towel to her nose, when the door hit her, it hit directly on her nose causing it to bleed. She sat completely silent next to her partner and watched the firemen talk with Snow and everyone else.

"Why the hell would someone glam up as me?" (y/n) asked, her voice was nasally and Bigby was doing his best not to laugh, he knew this was serious, but he thought this sight was the cutest and funniest state he had seen his partner in before.

"I'm not sure...  They came in with a sandwich, chips, and coffee, I genuinely thought it was you. " Bigby turned to look at his partner who was glaring intensely at him.

"You think I would go get you store bought food? I make everything myself, thank you very much! Besides the BLT they got you looked so gross and old... I'm not a freak. " she seemed genuinely upset that he didn't immediately recognize that the person in his office wasn't her, but her voice and her odd passion for food made him chuckle softly.

She nearly started yelling at him for laughing at her, but he wrapped one of his arms around her shoulders, and brought her closer to him, "If I'm being completely honest I did have a little bit to drink. " he paused then glanced at her waiting for a response, but she stayed silent, and watched something in front of them intently. "So I'm sorry I wasn't fully aware of how dire it is that you don't buy shitty Blts at shitty mundy stores."

(y/n) stood up and walked into the woodland mansion, she pushed past firemen, who tried to get her to stop, but she continued into the building.

Bigby got up and followed after his partner. The fire men didn't dare get in the path of the big bad wolf, but of course Snow did.

"What the hell is going on Bigby?" she seemed annoyed that the alarm had not only interrupted her work, but also soaked all the papers on her desk.

"I'm not sure, (y/n) just walked in there, I'm going to make sure she's alright. "

"I don't mean that, I mean why did the alarm go off in the first place?"

Bigby sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, "Look I don't know, let me figure out what ever it was that (y/n) saw, then I'll figure out what's going on... "

Snow seemed off put by something, "Am I annoying you?" she crossed her arms and raised her groomed brow at him.

Bigby blushed slightly, "What? Why...?" he sighed softly,  "Of course not Snow, I'm just tired. " Snow didn't reply she just nodded, then walked back over to the group of firemen still writing a report. Bigby took this time to follow after (y/n).
