Jack manages to fall asleep in his cage, despite the discomfort. He is stirred by the sound of someone entering, and sits up expecting to see Zoe. To his surprise, he sees Anna looking around her room. He watches her, wondering what she could be looking for. As far as he knows, Anna is the only one not clued in on his status as Zoe’s tiny prisoner, so surely she wasn’t looking for him.

Jack approaches the bars of his cage and shakes them, causing the entire cage to rattle. This startles Anna, and causes her to give out a small yelp before looking to the source of the noise. She sees the cage, but her brain is yet to comprehend the critter inside. It couldn’t really be a person, could it?! But then, it speaks.

“Anna! You have to help me!” Jack cries as he clutches the bars, continuing to rattle them. 

Anna lets out another scream, causing Jack to cover his ears. He raises his hands as a gesture of peace, hoping to calm the frightened giant.

“I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to scare you!”

Anna’s breaking was quick and heavy. She approached the cage slowly, squinting as she examined the tiny man held within. “What the fuck…” She whispered. “…Jack?!” By now she was close enough that her face was all Jack could see.

“Yes, it’s me! Please, Anna, you have to help me!”

“What happened to you? Why are you so small?!”

“It’s a long story, but your sister thinks she can keep me as a slave! There’s a way to make me big again, you just need to get me to my friend - Lydia!”

“Lydia Goodwin..?” 

“Yes! Her! She has the antidote that will un-shrink me! I can give you directions but we have to go right now!”

Anna’s furrowed brow and puzzled expression wasn’t giving Jack hope. It was clear this was all too much information for her to digest, but he knew Zoe would be back any moment now. This was his one chance of salvation.
