UNTOLD TRUTHS
:: ii, life saver

The next morning Emma woke up in a bed at the Storybrooke's Motel. Since it was a long drive, she decided to stay the night in Storybrooke instead of immediately heading back to Boston. She did what everyone does as soon as they wake up, brush her teeth and do her hair, etc.

After about ten minutes, she slid on her red jacket and was on the way to the mayor's house. She and Regina both agreed to discuss Henry at her house at a more earlier time which was that morning. So she headed out and began her way to Regina's.

The town was quite small so it didn't take her much to get over there and stop for a cup of coffee on the way. It was a coffee to go from Granny's. She soon carried on her way to Regina's, thinking about certain questions she has for the Mayor.

As she was crossing the street to Regina's house, that's when she saw the same man she saw last night leaving out the front door. He was quickly fixing his outfit as he rushed out. Emma thought that was weird but she knew she shouldn't ask questions because it was none of her business. So she walked across the street and then knocked on the door once she reached it.

She stood out there for only a moment or so before it was finally open. Regina smiled as she passed Emma a glass of orange juice to get her morning started.

"Where did my son find you?"

Emma nodded, "That's a good question. Does he use a computer?"

Regina gave her a questioning look before letting the blonde in and guiding her up the stairs to Henry's room. As soon as they got to the room, the two women immediately went to Henry's desktop.

Emma went and pulled up a browser, then went to his search history. She then clicked on a link that looked a bit suspicious. The website pulled up on screen and then she went to the card history, because apparently this site cost money for it to find your biological mother.

Emma read the card holder's name, "Do you know anyone named Mary-Margaret Blanchard?"

"Yes. That's Henry's teacher."

"Why would he have his teacher's card?" Emma looked to Regina.

"Relevant question, Ms. Swan." Regina soon began her way out the bedroom with Emma following behind, they were headed to the school to get answers from Mary.

Regina stormed into the classroom with Emma trailing behind, interrupting the conversation between Bryan and Mary. However, regina didn't quite care. Her getting answers was more important than whatever the teachers were talking about.

She looked towards Bryan, "Mr. Lakes, I have to speak with Ms. Blanchard. It's quite important, do you mind?"

"Uh —— " He looked between regina and Mary, "Well, what we were discussing was kind of important, so."

"Kind of? Meaning not so much." She briefly paused, "So if you want to keep your job, I suggest you leave Mr. Lakes."

With a sigh, Bryan glanced towards Mary, "We'll finish our talk later."

He then proceeded to leave the classroom, leaving the three women to chat about.

So yes, regina got on Mary about her card being used to track down Emma. However, Mary doesn't remember giving her card to Henry and if she doesn't remember, then it was clear to say he stole it.

After finding out about that, it was time to find him. While the two went searching for their son, Bryan was just finding his way back to Mary's classroom.

"What was that about?" He walked in, finding Mary preparing for her next class.

She brushed it off, "Just Henry. You know how the mayor gets."

He continued to stand near the door, "I suppose I do."

"You didn't happen to go to her place last night, did you?"

He stammered a bit, "She —— she needed help with a few things. But what does that have to do with anything?"

"Nothing." She quickly shot back.

"Mary —— "

She cut him off, "I need to finish things around here. So could you leave?"

Bryan did as he was asked, he left her classroom and retreated back to his. Not only seconds later did the bell ring and all the kids were rushing to their next class. He wasn't sure of what was going on with Ms. Blanchard, but he sure was going to find out.

After the school day wrapped, Bryan found his way home and as soon as he sat on the couch in his living room, his phone began going off.

He flipped it open and held it to his ear, "What do I owe the pleasure, florence?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to come out tonight and hangout? Got some other buddies coming too."

"Wish I could, but I'm quite busy."

"Doing what? Pining after Mary-Margaret? Because dude, it's about time you realize she's just not into you."

"You don't know that." Bryan protested.

"Trust me, i do.  If something was going to happen, it would've happened by now. You've been after her since the beginning of time, just give it a rest, alright? Besides, we both know whose bed your in at the end of the night."

The boys both chuckled, knowing exactly who florence was talking about.

However, florence was right. There's no point in going after someone who doesn't feel the same, but little did Bryan know that.

What he did next, he did not plan for it but thought why not.

At least the Madame Mayor has always showed some interest in him.
