"Reagen, can you man the shop tonight? I have some business to attend to," My father said, and I nodded. He left, heading in the directions of the woods. Suspicious, I flipped the sign over and followed him. I found Emma's car wrecked, and them talking. "She was meeting me," I heard my father say.

I crept closer, hiding behind a tree. "What are you doing out here with her?" Emma asked. "Just a little business transaction," He said. "What's in the briefcase?" Sidney asked. "Everything comes at a price. Land is no different," He said.

"That's why you're meeting out her out here? Regina bought your land?" She asked. "The very ground you're standing on,"  He said. "What does she want it for?"

Thanks, but I'm still not interested," She said. "Oh, one can wish," He said, then walked away, but I hung around.

"Emma, what you did was brave. But I'd lay low for a while. You have no idea what she can and will do to you,"
