"Why the HELL is this starting to feel more like an interrogation? " Whale shot back. Finally, his blood was starting to warm.

"I'm just saying that you had to be PRETTY distracted not to notice ALL THAT going on in the background..."

"FINE!" Whale burst. "I was too busy SCHEMING on how I would get into Ruby's PANTS on our next date! Because that's ALL I DO, isn't it??? Is THAT what you want to hear? ?"

"YOU'RE words, not MINE." David said, smirking to himself while he kept scribbling.

"WHAT ARE YOU EVEN WRITING? " Whale yelled, wanting to lunge at the fake prince.

"okay! Seriously David!" Ruby stepped between them, and yes, she used his 'Storybrooke' name. She stared at charming just daring him to say another word,"You're a Sheriff, as well as a Prince start acting like it"
She took a breath, Whale and Charming's little dispute had escalated so quickly she hardly had time to react- did Whale say something about her pants? Red tried to clear her thoughts again.
" Whale...." she looked at him,"You said something about there being some people at this warehouse.... were they the ones who took you?"

Whale didn't convey the little victory he felt as Ruby silenced the fake Prince...but he smirked inwardly... before realizing how much the little dispute at drained the energy that he was trying to replenish. "Like I said... I was out before I realized what was happening... but I think there was only one of them actually here."
He inhaled...breath a little shaky as he recalled. "I think... I think the one who orchestrated everything was already there, waiting for Edward Brown...he's the one who took me to the warehouse." He shook his head, staring off at a fixed point far away. "He... something was wrong with him. His eyes were...cloudy... and his actions weren't his own..."

"What, like magic?" David asked. He was finally listening now, forgetting why it was so important to show this man up just a few seconds prior.

"Possibly..." it wasn't a lie, Whale considered. It was a KIND of magic... but unlike the magic users of the fake Prince's world where it could be used for GOOD or evil... this magic was dark...intrusive, and ONLY evil... Whale shook his head. How could he possibly know all this? "I think the mastermind was a..."
He couldn't believe it as he said it. "...Vampire."

Ruby's eyes wandered back to the marks on his neck. She took a step over to him and touched the bite marks with the tips of her fingers," Is... is that how you got these?"
He had been bitten by a vampire- would that mean...? Oh god.... She hoped that she hadn't paled as much as she felt she had. What would they need, a priest right? She could find Cornelius or somebody, maybe it wasn't too late.
Thoughts like this kept reeling through her head. She looked at Whale again," Whale, we need to get this taken care of...."

Whale put his cool hand over hers, sensing her concern. At least almost everyone in Storybrooke had a vague NOTION of what a vampire was. That was helpful. Even David stood in silence, jaw clenched with tension.
"No it's... it's fine..." Whale saw Ruby wasn't convinced. "...He said he wouldn't turn me... he wanted something from me..." He could even sense a reassurance from the Vampire that this indeed the truth. How that was possible, the doctor didn't know. Perhaps he should tell them about the strange connection... but he was afraid that it would add flame to their panic. "I think... it takes more then one... uh... bite." He concluded.

"alright...." Red bit her lip nervously, he wasn't telling them everything.... but it was enough for her to at least push it to the back of her mind. Red really didn't want to believe that Victor would become some mindless slave to a.... a 'real' monster.
"So...." She looked at David,"A vampire.... Storybrooke is just filling up with Monsters huh?" she gave kind of a weak smile then glanced at the juice cap on the floor," I wonder if any of this is in that book of Henry's..."

David put a hand on Red's shoulder. "YOU'RE not a monster." He reassured her. "But this 'vampire' sounds pretty close to one..."
He put his pad and pen away. "Emma and I will go investigate the warehouse...maybe he's still there. Meanwhile YOU TWO," he said, looking up at the pair. "...will stay here. See if you can find anything on how to stop vampires. Whale, take the day off, tomorrow off as well until we can make SURE that you are okay. Ruby," he walked over to the door as he talked. "I know you can handle any intruders... Wolf's Moon is TONIGHT. I'll send Snow over with the cloak."
Before he left, he shook his head at the floor. "To be honest, Henry said there are a lot of people here who AREN'T in the book...who KNOWS what else is lurking out there..." He looked up, giving what he hoped was a reassuring grin. "But we can handle it... we have so far..."
He left the two alone.

Ruby watched him leave, and she was honestly kind of happy to see him leave, not in a 'I-don't-like-him-way' of course... but with him the testosterone-filled tension lowered significantly.
"I'm sorry about him," She said finally, Red looked at Whale with a faint smile,"I don't really know what's gotten his panties in a bunch...." He said something about Snow at the Hospital earlier today, but a part of her never want to know what that meant either," Why don't you sit down, if you want I could make some coffee or something"

Whale gave a weak smile. He knew EXACTLY what was buzzing around the the Fake Prince's bonnet... but he didn't want to get into it... not with Ruby.
"He's just trying to protect his friends." Whale finally said. "It must be nice to know that a lot of people care about you." Victor certainly never did... but Whale was finally getting a little taste of it, now, with his friendship to Ruby.
"The coffee maker is in the kitchen." He nodded in the direction. "All you have to do is..." He stopped giving his instructions and gave a slight laugh. "...I guess you're already the EXPERT at making great coffee. I'm sure you're more the well equipped to handle it..." He made his way to his bedroom. "I'm going to hop in the shower...I'd like to feel somewhat human again. Please make yourself at home."
