The small bell connected to the entry door rang out, alerting Mr. Gold that someone had entered his shop, however his own eyes had spotted Regina briskly walking to the door outside his shop through the dusty, single pane windows before she had even entered. She walked to Mr. Gold with purpose, not bothering to stop and look around the precariously placed items that filled the room to the ceiling; only stopping when she reached the counter.

"Your Majesty." Mr. Gold greeted her politely, his eyes darting down to the red marks on the woman's neck. "Trying something a bit new are we? Erotic asphyxiation, although strange, does have it's-"

"Can it imp!" Regina hissed, the vein on her forehead pulsing angrily. Her dark eyes glanced over to the left to an old coat rack, covered completely by assorted hats, coats, gloves and scarves and Regina shot her hand out to grab at one of the scarves, a deep purple and blue silk style with tiny circular embroidery around it that, however ironic, went with the silk shirt she wore under her suit jacket.

Taking a bit of care as to not harm herself, she wrapped the silk scarf around her neck, ignoring the amused smirks coming from Mr. Gold.

"You'll have to pay for that dearie..."

"Dr. Faye Stevenson. What do you know about her?" Regina asked, cutting right to the chase. Mr. Gold licked his lips and looked up, pondering thoughtfully before answering.

"Well, she's not unattractive. Got her degree from a curse. Lives just around the corner from-"

"Gold..." Regina cut in with a warning tone, earning her a throaty laugh from the man as he placed his palms on the counter, leaning in to Regina a bit. "I'm so glad this amuses you, but I've got a woman in jail threatening to kill me and she's somehow linked to Stevenson."

"Not so different from The Enchanted Forest hm?" Gold asked with raised eyebrows. "People trying to kill you..."

Regina held her death glare, and Mr. Gold chuckled once more.

"You might want to go and talk with our friend Dr. Hopper. I've happened upon Dr. Stevenson walking in and out of his office on a number of occasions. If she's not at the hospital, or with our new town guest, she'll most certainly be there." He paused, looking thoughtful and licked his lips again. "Although I doubt she'd be going much anywhere today. She and I had a bit of a...disagreement last night."

Regina's hard gaze let up a bit at the information and moved to cross her arms over her chest tightly.

"You mean Henry?" She asked quizzically and raising an eyebrow. "Why would she be with Henry?"

Mr. Gold, yet again chuckled and Regina pressed her lips into a thin line. She hated it when he knew more than she did, and she had been doing a lot of 'catching-up' lately.

"They've got quite the number of things to talk about. New stranger in town, finds nothing better to do with his time than to go to the hospital and read to our dear Jane Doe. And that's when he realizes he knows her, causing him to want to stick around."

"Knows who?" Regina barked.

"Both of them of course." Mr. Gold chuckled, his amusement could not be any more evident.

"How? How is that even possib-" Regina's eyes first went wide, and then narrowed. She knew exactly how it was possible. It was because Henry...he was from The Enchanted Forest! He was not a part of the curse and therefore had his memories; a fact that Regina believed to be impossible until yesterday when Mr. Gold admitted to having his own memories. Obviously, there were ways around this, and Gold knew the whole time.
Mr. Gold's thin lips curled into the smile, reading the initial shock on Regina's face as she put the pieces together.

"You...you brought him here!" Regina hissed at him coldly, if at all possible her eyes narrowing even more. "This doesn't make any sense! You and I...we've been in this...together...from the start!"

"Oho! Have we?"

"You [i]created[/i] the curse for me! The curse that brought us here and built all this."

"Yes, it's about time you said thank you."

"Why did you do it?"

Mr. Gold leaned further over the counter, pressing his face so close to Regina's that she could feel his hot breath on her cheek.

"Well you're a [i]smart[/i] woman your Majesty." Mr. Gold taunted. "Figure it out." He added on with a sneer so cold, that Regina couldn't help but remember his threat to kill her for killing Belle. 

An icy shiver rolled down her spine, causing Regina to stand up straight and back away a few steps from the imp. He may have not been The Dark One here, but she knew him well enough to know his threats were more than just words.

"Where's Henry now?" Regina asked, keeping her voice calm and level despite her hands beginning to shake and grow cold with lack of circulation.

"Try the school. I might have offered him the position at the elementary you came in here complaining about filling the other day."

It took whatever was left of Regina's willpower to not explode on Mr. Gold right then. She didn't know how much good it would do anyway, it was clear that Gold was in control of what was happening here, and Regina was powerless to stop it. 

Unless-

Regina turned and walked out the door without another word to Mr. Gold, doing her best to walk out with her head held high and shaking the unnerving feeling of his eyes following her out.

It was time to go see Dr. Hopper and get the records of Dr. Faye Stevenson.
