Who Killed The Bug
Present day
Storybrooke

Will had sent me out to get food and coffee in the early hours of the day. I parked my car in front of Granny's before jumping out and walking up to the fence. Pongo, Archie's dog, stood by the door, barking at me.

At the same time, the diner doors opened and Henry came out with Emma.

The brown haired boy ran up to the dog and knelt down, "Hey, Pongo. It's okay. It's okay."

Emma looks at me, "Where's Archie?"

I went to open my mouth, but Ruby ran out of the diner and up to Pongo, "Something's wrong."

"How do you know? Never mind. The wolf thing," Emma turned to Henry, "You know what? Eleven is old enough to walk to the bus stop. I'll pick you up later."

Henry nodded before leaving, "Okay."

When Henry was gone, Pongo ran off with Ruby trailing behind him. Emma and I looked at each other before following after the two. We ended up in Archie's office.

Emma noticed the door to his office was slightly ajar, "Archie?"

She pushes the door open and runs in. Ruby and I go in after her to see her kneeling on the ground next to an unmoving Archie.

"Archie?" Emma asks one more time, "Oh, hell."

"Wha-what is it?" Ruby stutters.

Emma checks for a pulse then turns to us with a sorrowful expression. 

Ruby backs away slightly, "No... No..."

"Who would do this?" I asked as I stared down at the dead body. 

Emma and I look at each other before Ruby speaks up, "I think I know."

Emma sat across from Regina in the interrogation room as I leaned against the one way mirror. David and Snow were behind the glass, watching the whole thing take place.

"Glad to see the Sheriff's station is now run by fugitives," She jokes, "Why am I here?"

"You know why you're here. Because of Archie," Emma said with venom dripping from her lips.

Regina sarcastically smiles but keeps her composure, "Oh, it's now against the law to get into an argument with someone?"

I tilt my head at her, "It is if you go to their office later that night and kill them."

Regina's eyes shoot to me and her mouth falls open slightly, "Archie's dead?"

"Ruby saw you going into his office last night," Emma says, her eyes narrowed.
