Izzy ran toward Jake, but she was violently pulled back as the chain as reached it's limit. Izzy fell to her knees in pain.

"IZZY!" Jake shouted and ran to crouch down beside her.

"Jake, I want to go home." Izzy sobbed, "I don't like it here. Take me home, Jake. Take me home!" Izzy wrapped her arms around her knees. Jake took Izzy into his arms.

"I'm so sorry! This is all my fault!" Jake paused here and cringed at Izzy's cries, "I can't take you home yet. Hook....Hook wants me to do something first." Jake said, not wanting to worry Izzy anymore.

"What is it?" she said, with tears still streaming down her face.

Jake looked embarrassed. What would Izzy think?

"He...he wants...he wants me to kill Peter."

Izzy looked at him with large red eyes.

"You're aren't going to do it, right?" she said, obviously distressed.

"Well...I don't know. Hook has me in a tough spot and every angle leads to death," Jake stood up and paced the room.

"Can't you just tell Peter?"

"Hook says, he's found a way to get a pirate inside Peter's hideout."

Izzy thought for a moment, "How about flying. When you fly with Peter, go really high so that no pirate could possibly follow you without being seen."

Jake's expression lightened. Maybe that could work. Then is face dimmed again, "That wouldn't be safe. If any of the crew sees us, they will tell Hook, and.....it just wouldn't be safe for you."

"Me?"

"Yeah, Hook is using you as ransom. He said he would kill us if I didn't do this. Literally."

Izzy's gaze shifted to the floor in defeat. Then she looked at Jake in determination, "Well, it's the only good plan we have, it will have to do."
