In a more unruly town, Miner’s day would be the worst day of the year for the police, but in Storybrooke even shoplifting was exceedingly rare. Robert had revised his patrol route for the day, spending most of his time walking around on foot to watch the merchant’s stalls. No one had any problems to report, but he asked around anyway, always telling them to call him if they needed something. 
	
It had been over a week since the visitors first arrived, and the town had returned to its normal sleepy self. Henry was still in town, but Robert believed wouldn’t be sticking around for long, his reputation had been severely tarnished. He still had no idea what he was even doing in town in the first place, he had no friends or family living to visit. There had been no new sightings of the mysterious woman, and even though Dr. Stevenson had been willing to help, she had no information on her. There were several other unresolved cases, which troubled Robert greatly.
	
He sat down for a moment, in a spot where he had a clear view of the main line of stall, and pulled out his notebook and paper. He looked over the facts of the case of the tax money, Regina had reported the money missing, and he saw it in Henry’s car, but Henry had no prints on it. Every time he asked for more details, Regina blew him off. The fact that he had seen them talking to each other seemingly amicably only raised more questions, why would the mayor befriend someone who she saw steal from her? 
	
He also didn’t like Regina’s refusal to report Mason’s case to Child Protective Service, or how she implied that she had illegally accessed Dr. Hopper’s files. He could never remember Regina as anything except a law abiding and just mayor, these actions were not something he’d expect from her. Even his relationship with her seemed off, he didn’t enjoy being with her and could not understand why he had come over to her house for “wine” so many times in the past. If this change in Regina was permanent, he would definitely regret being the town sheriff.
	
While he was sitting there, he made a list of all the strange occurrences that had been happening lately. [i]Mason, Henry, Tax money, Mysterious woman, Jail escape, Earthquake, Regina’s changes, Thing underneath h-[/i]. Robert stopped in the middle of writing the list, realizing that it was distracting him. Sometime, he’d have to confront Regina about these, but he wanted to be careful. Offending her would mean losing the closest thing he had to a friend, dooming him to more nights of drinking at home and reading Flaubert.
