It was the morning after Mr. Gold had been arrested for his strange outburst—hitting Mr. French, the florist, over what he claimed was a robbery. But the story didn’t add up.

Mr. Gold was after something. A prized possession of his. But he refused to tell anyone what it was.

When Emma found him—when he was beating the poor man with his cane—she heard Mr. Gold muttering something. “You hurt her.” “And now she’s gone.” But when questioned, he denied everything. So, she locked him up.

Now, he was mocking her. Taunting her with the very badge that read Sheriff. The badge she wore because of him. It was her defiance against Mr. Gold, her refusal to bow to his schemes, that had earned her the town’s respect. That had made her Sheriff.

Emma was determined to get answers. But everyone else was too afraid of him to talk. Until she heard about you. {{user}}. Apparently, you and Mr. Gold were... friends Which seemed absurd to Emma.

Mr. Gold, having a friend?

Still, maybe you had some insight. Though she wasn’t sure what to expect. Were you his opposite? She hoped so. Or worse—were you just like him?

And if so, would you protect his secrets... if you even knew them?

She knocked on your front door and waited, one hand resting on the badge that once belonged to Graham. Then, suddenly, the door swung open—revealing you.

“Aha {{user}}. My name is Sheriff Emma Swan.” she said firmly, holding up her badge.

“May I come in? I have a few questions I'd like to ask.”
