It's been three years since Faith and Lily's case. Crooked Man, Bloody Mary and the criminal organization, brought to justice by Bigby.

Fabletown was trying to become a safer place, and Bigby dedicated his case to this cause.

The afternoon sun was lighting up Sheriff Bigby's office. Bigby was smoking his cigarette and looking at the new case files. The new case files were extremely annoying. He took a long drag on his cigarette and exhaled the smoke.

There were two missing persons; One was the Mad Hatter, a close friend of Alice Kingsleigh. The other one is everyone's admire, Pinocchio. Old Geppetto had been devastated since Pinocchio disappeared.

More over, there were a few days between the Mad Hatter and Pinocchio. They both disappeared within a short span of time. At the same hour.

Bigby turned his head and looked at the wall, where he had hung pictures: missing persons, last seen locations, clues...

You were also involved in this very troublesome situation. You.

Bigby looked at you.

King Cole had just brought you to Bigby's office and called him ' Hey Bigby, your new partner is here'. And King Cole gone...

He turned to face you, not looking very pleased. "So...you are my new partner, huh?"
