Zoe thinks for a moment and decides what is her best course of action.  She tells Jack "I will help you escape my mom and take you back to Lydia if you swear I will never heard from you again.  Otherwise back in the box you go.  That's your only choices.."  Jack responds "Thank you Zoe.  I learned my lesson .  I swear this is the last time you'll see me.  I promise, cross my heart and hope to die."

 

Zoe tells you "OK, against my better judgement, I'll help you but no more visits, calls, texts, nothing."  Jack quickly replies "I promise" and gives Zoe Lydia's address."  Zoe gets her jacket and drops him in her pocket for the ride to Lydia's house. 

 

A short while late she is at the front door ringing the bell.  Luckily Lydia is home and answers the door.  She invites Zoe in and says "I already know what this is about.  I'm the only one home.  Come on in."  They sit down on the couch and Zoe takes Jack out and places him on the coffee table in front of them.  "So what's the verdict?" Lydia asks as she produces the vial of the antidote out of a box.  "I promised Zoe that I am done and will never bother her again if she brought me here."  Lydia looks down at him and replies "Why do I feel you are leaving something out?"       Zoe adds "Well my mom found him before I did and was using him as a sex toy."

 

Lydia says "Oh boy, didn't I warn you that this crazy idea could be dangerous."  Jack quietly says "Yes, I'm just glad this will be over soon."    Lydia get a small dish and pours the clear liquid in the dish and asks "So how much do you need to drink?"  Jack told her that in the email the company sent him they told him at this size he's only need a couple drops to restore him.  He goes over to the dish and laps up a few drops of the liquid."

 

They all wait a while but nothing happens.  Lydia comments "The shrinking started in less that five minutes and it's been more that ten minutes.  Do you feel anything?"  Jack says "No and tries drinking a bit more.  Meanwhile Zoe find instructions in the box printed in Chinese and starts using her phone with Google Translate to figure you what is says.

 

They continue to wait and Zoe speaks up "This says that the antidote is not guaranteed to work after 24 hours and they don't recommend staying small for more that 12 hours.  How long has it been?"   Lydia answers "Way more that 24 hours since you shrank and I packed you up.  I think we have a problem."  Jack asks Zoe "Is there an email address on there or a phone number.  Maybe Lydia can contact them to see what to do."

 

Zoe finds the email and gives it to Lydia who sends an email asking what they can do.  "Now what?" she asks.  Jack answers "I can stay here and wait until you get a response from them."  Lydia tells them "I share this house with two housemates and it could be to dangerous to tell them or if they find you."   Zoe says "Well if he comes with me, I can try and keep him safe but my mom will eventually find him again and I can guarantee she won't let he get away again."    

 

They both look at Jack and ask "What do you want us to do, Jack?"  He thinks it over and says "I think I'd rather..."
