Regina pulled open the large door to her mansion, leaving it's double closed. She was still wearing her black business suit, however she had done away with the jacket long ago leaving her in tight fighting slacks that left little to the imagination from behind, only to be accentuated with the black, four-inch heels she still wore and a white dress shirt that had full length sleeves, but scooped down her neck to show off a great amount of cleavage.
She found Robert standing on her porch, as she had greatly anticipated, however the look on his face told her everything she needed to know and her once warm, welcoming smile fell into that of disappointment. Even her dark brown eyes, now black from the shadows of the night seemed to even look...softer.

"You didn't get him." She observed, realizing now that maybe she should have stayed at her office just a little bit longer to receive Robert's quick report on Henry's case.

When he was on his way, Robert thought about how strange the whole day had been, having two visitors and a major robbery in just a few hours. He was a little sullen, worried that he had let such a major crime happen and that he had learned little about either of the strangers. Regina's tone of voice didn't make him feel any better, and he said "Someone else took the money out of his car, I arrested her on the way to the bank. She was also new in town, but didn't have any ID and wouldn't tell me who she was."

Regina's dark eyebrows furrowed dangerously.

"Someone...else..?" She asked slowly, not wanting to believe what her ears were relaying to her. She took just a brief moment to closer her eyes and rub her forehead to keep from exploding in anger. Henry on his own was a major problem, and now with yet [i]another[/i] stranger [b]AND[/b] whatever it was that Henry stole from Mr. Gold's shop that put the idea of the devil himself on edge it was hard to do so, and that bottle of wine sitting in an ice bucket in the living room was suddenly starting to sound like it wouldn't be strong enough.

"You may go, Sheriff." Regina said suddenly, opening her eyes and moved her arms to cross them over her chest. "It's quite obvious now that I'm going to have to take matters into my own hands. These...strangers aren't welcome here in Storybrooke. If the female is working with Henry, then perhaps an alternate method is required." Regina paused to hold out one of her hands, palm facing up as if expecting something. "Your keys, Sheriff. To the office and cells." She explained, her voice now hard and demanding once again.

Robert frowned, and dug around in his pocket. He found three keys, dropping two into Regina's outstretched palm, and holding up the third one. He said "This is the key to Henry's room at Granny's, I can search it as soon as you want, or I can give it to you. I can continue to trail Henry, or even arrest him if you want, I hope we can solve this issue as soon as possible." His tone of voice was cold, formal but sincere, Robert meant every word he said and genuinely wanted to help. What Regina said worried him a little bit, but there was nothing about her statements that he opposed on principle.

"There's no need." She said flatly and palmed the two keys in her hand, not having any pockets to put them into at the moment. "At least, not tonight. Henry has already agreed to join me for dinner tomorrow. You may search his room then when I have him otherwise...occupied. We don't want to let on too early what we are about; he might run...and if he does then I will never know what made him come here in the first place. How long will you need at Granny's to find me something useful?" 

"It's a small room, shouldn't take me more than an hour. I will be sure to make time in my schedule for that. Anything else you need from me?"

"Yes..." Regina said, dragging out the latter part of the word as if thinking of something. "See...see if you can find a snow globe while you are there in his room. I did a quick inventory of my office after you left, and mine is missing." She lied. Regina didn't want to quite give Robert the information of Mr. Gold's break-in, not until she understood just what was going on herself. This was the exact reason she chose not to share the pictures of Henry breaking into Mr. Gold's office with Robert; especially since she knew Mr. Gold himself wouldn't report the robbery...it was just too risky.

"I'll keep an eye out for it." Robert said before he turned around and began to walk out the door. He was not satisfied with how many problems he was leaving unresolved, but at least the mysterious lady was behind bars. He left Regina's estate and drove home, hoping to get a good nights sleep.

Regina shut the door tightly and locked it before looking at the two keys in her hands, her mind racing on what her next move should and would be. Whatever it was, though, it could wait until morning. She had a bottle of wine to drink.
