Jack scampers under a low table so he is hidden but has a good view of Zoe on the couch.  As soon as he get comfortable, the doorbell rings and Zoe gets up to answer it.  Jack sees it is some guy that Zoe kisses and she tells him that she is glad he could come over because no one is home.

 

Zoe gets her friend and her drinks and they sit back down on the couch to watch TV together.  Jack isn't exactly thrill when this guy starts making moves on his ex and pretty soon they are into so heavy kissing and petting.

 

Jack didn't think about this possibility when he decided to stay in her house and spy on her.  Zoe and this guy continue to make out when he says to her "How about he go up to your room?  No one's home and I haven't been up there yet."   Zoe looks at her phone and says "Crap, my mom will be home soon.  Best if you go and I'll call you later."    Her friend grunts a bit and stands up to straighten out is clothes while saying "Man you really know how to give a guy a case of blue balls."   Zoe gives him a playful slap and says "I've gotten burned in the past so I like to take it slow.  I'm worth it."  Her friend replies "Yes you are."  as they walk back to the door and she lets him out. 

 

Zoe comes back in the room after her friend leaves and sits back on the couch and says "I see you hiding under the table Jack.  Come out now."   Jack is surprised she knew he was there and slowly walks out.  Zoe stands up and walked to directly in front of him towering far over his head.    "I told you I was done with you and that your friend should take you home but you couldn't do that, could you?"  Jack looks up at her and says "I just wanted some time to talk to you.  You didn't give me a chance before."

 

Zoe isn't buying it and says "Then why were you hiding and spying on my and my new boyfriend?  You had plenty of time to come out and talk before he came over but instead you were just spying on me.  I think that was your whole plan, to stay here and spy on me and see me naked.  You're just a little bug of a perv and the only question is what to do with you." 

 

Zoe raised her foot up and it hovered over Jack.  "Maybe I should just stomp on you.  After all you're just a bug infesting my house.  Jack puts his hands up although he knows stopping her foot from crushing him would be impossible.   Instead she re-positions her foot and lightly kicks him with her big toe sending him sprawling across the floor.  

 

Zoe reaches down and picks jack up by the legs and dangles him in front of her face while she looks him over.  "I think squishing you under my foot would be too quick an ending for you.  I need to think about this."  She carries him into the kitchen and drops him on the counter while she looks in a cabinet.    She takes out an empty jelly jar and used a can opener to make small holes in the lid.   Just as Jack is recovering, she grabs him up and deposits him the jar and screws the lid back on tightly.  

 

Jack looks around and the jar he was trapped in was tall enough that he couldn't touch the lid but too narrow for him to lie down .  He could probably sit with his knees bent if he wanted to but right now he just wanted to talk some sense into Zoe who is looking in at him.  Jack bangs on the glass saying "Please Zoe I just wanted to talk to you."    Zoe laughs at him and carries the jar with Jack still in it to her room and sets it down on her desk.  She sits in her chair and looks at Jack trapped pleading to her and thinks that this will be the only way to get rid of this pest for good.   

 

She turns to jar on its side and slowly rolling it back and forth on the desk sending Jack spinning inside.  Jack can hear her talk aloud.  She says "I think you are obsessed with me and will never leave me alone.  Now you've presented me with an opportunity to get you out of my life for good and there isn't anything you can do about it.  Just like you can't do anything about this."  She stands the jar upside down leaving Jack on his head trying to support himself with his arms. 

 

She waits a few moments to let everything she is saying to him sink in before she sets the jar back right side up.  "You are so weak and puny now, you are totally helpless.  The only question now is what to do with you so I don't have to deal with you anymore.  I won't kill you cause that would be bad karma but maybe I can get someone to take you off my hands and keep you like this.  I'll have to think about this."  She open a desk drawer and drop the jar in on its side and closes it plunging Jack in darkness.

 

Jack is immediately worried.  He has zero chance with Zoe and he has no idea what she has in mind to get rid of him.  Meanwhile he tries to move the lid and he can't budge it at all.  Time crawls by and Jack falls asleep multiple time and has no idea how much time has passed.      When the drawer finally reopens he sees....
