"Robert, I got your message. I need you at my office ten minutes ago."
Regina hung up her phone and climbed into her Mercedes and gunned the car to life, driving hastily away from Mr. Gold's Pawn Shop to the Mayor's office. Aside from her own home, it was the only place in Storybrooke where she knew they could speak privately.

Robert had just finished paying his bill when his cellphone rang, still set on a generic bell sound. He picked up immediately, and heard what Regina said. Her voice was extremely serious and she left no time for him to answer, which told him that it was very important. Perhaps tonight wasn't the best night to go out for a drink, but he hadn't had enough to seriously impair his driving. He hurried to his patrol car and started it up. Though he was tempted to, Robert did not use the siren because it was not technically an emergency.

He'd made good time, the roads weren't crowded and he even exceeded the speed limit a little bit. As he walked into the building he took a moment to comb his hair and to straighten his collar, it was important to keep a professional appearence even for business after hours. He spotted Regina's car outside, so he knew that she was waiting for him. Robert opened the door to the lobby and walked up to Regina's office, knocking sharply on it twice.

Regina was already in her office by the time that Robert showed up. She was sitting in the large roller office chair in front of her desk which upon first looks, looked like an absolute mess; short of a tornado rolling through her office. This was unusual, as Regina always kept her office nice and neat. Her head snapped up from looking through pictures on her phone when he had arrived. Her eyes were dark and glaring, not at him though as he was close enough to Regina to know when he was mad at him or mad at something else entirely.
"
Our visitor...I need you to check him out." Regina demanded.
"His name is Henry, right? Don't know that much about him, saw him around town, and he's staying at-"
"ROBERT!" Regina interrupted him hotly, clearly on her last fuse. "I...don't..care...about all of that." She added on, making a slight attempt to control her temper. She then opened her arms wide, gesturing to the condition her office was in. "Clearly...I've been robbed." She stated and then pushed herself up from her chair, walking over to Robert.
"There was an envelope on my desk containing ten-thousand dollars of Storybrooke's tax money...and it's gone. Look into Henry, follow him, learn everything you can about him and search his car. I'm confident you will find what you are looking for."

Her rage-induced tone gradually eased into something more...pleasant, and by the time she had suggested that Robert check Henry's car, she was even smiling...clearly knowing something that no one else did.

Robert kept calm, though it was unusual to see Regina with demeanor that was anything less than saccharine. "Should I tail him a bit first, maybe even arrest him? We can hold him for 72 hours before charging him, that'd buy us some time. I saw his car parked at Granny's last, if I see something suspicious I could open it without a warrant. What was the envelope labeled? If I don't find it, I could always search it on a traffic stop." Robert always made sure to stick to the book, even if his policework was guided by local politics as much as pursuit of the truth.

Regina just stared at Robert blankly, however it could have easily been translated into a look of over-the-top annoyance.
"Robert..." She said again, eerily calmly this time. "All I need you to do is check his car. Back seat, right side. I want his ass in jail tonight.!"
He nodded, and said "Understood, I will be on my way immediately." 
"Good." Regina approved and watched him turn to leave. "Oh and Robert..." She called. "Feel free to stop by my place once you've done your job. I just bought a bottle of wine I'm dying to try out." Robert smiled, and left without another word. He drove back to Granny's, this time using his siren, making the trip even faster.
