Her
Present day
Storybrooke

We crowded around Emma as she stared down at the vibrating phone in hand.

"Same person again," Leroy said.

"'Her,'" Emma read the contact name, "Cute."

"Probably a girlfriend," David suggested.

"We could answer it," Snow said, "just let her know he's okay."

I looked up at the innocent woman, "Snow, he's drowning in his own blood. That's not okay."

"Well we could let her know he's alive," Snow said.

"For now," Will added, causing Snow to send him a glare.

David crossed his arms, "The police could trace it here instantly."

"She can activate the find your phone thing without us picking it up at all," Emma informed us.

The phone stopped vibrating and Leroy sighed, "That settles that."

Snow groaned, "Oh, my nerves can't take this. Is the surgery almost over?"

"I... I think it takes-" Emma stopped mid sentence when a nurse came into the room. He looked around before turning back around.

"Whoa. Whoa. Wait. Wait," David stopped him, "Any news?"

The man shook his head, "No. I was just looking for the doctor."

My eyes widened as everyone in the room tensed at the news.

"He's not in the OR?" Ruby asked, stepping toward him.

"He never came in."

Emma stepped closer, "Then page him."

The nurse walked away and David turned to us, "He was not looking so good earlier."

The man picks up a phone and dials in some numbers before a loud beeping goes off. Whale was nearby.

"He's here," Snow said before following the sound..

We follow her up to a big laundry basket full of dirty scrubs. Emma sighs before rummaging through it. She pulls out a white lab coat and digs into the pocket.

"No," She says before pulling out the device, "but his pager is. He's gone."

Ruby extends her hands out to Emma, "Maybe I can find the scent."

Emma hands her the coat and Ruby inhales the scent.

"Got the scent?" David asked.

Ruby looked to him then at Emma, "Too boozy."

"How are we supposed to find him?" Snow said, a worried look on her face.

Will turned to me and smirked, causing everyone to direct their attention to me.
