Whether it was his intention or not he wasn't sure, they kept moving till they were running. When they stopped they stood before a steep drop, and below them was a beach.... and a fire surrounded by tiny figures with no shadows.
He raised an eyebrow, then looked to Else, He'd seen these boys before," Else.... Baes down there"

"Bae?" She asked flatly. She was still rattled by the evening's horrors. She just needed some time. And a distraction. She crouched low so that the boys on the beach didn't see her. "The boy you rescued? But how? I thought he was still aboard your ship?"
She saw another surprise down there: the two boys she had managed to 'save' days ago. "They... they stole them back.... where are the girls???" She looked about frantically over the group, but there were no little girls present.

Girls? "I... they only want boys.... I don't know why.."
He tried to get a better look, leaning over the edge," They said he was special, something about special purpose"

Else let out a breath. Then perhaps the two girls had been left alone aboard Hook's ship.
"I'm not leaving without those two boys. I promised to get them home." She said, but she turned to Hook, wondering something. "So they TOOK Bae from you? You couldn't do anything to get him back?" She looked back down at the small fire pit and little figures spaced around it. "For some reason I thought you hadn't set foot on the Island before today... or yesterday... or.." Else rubbed her fatigued eyes with frustration. "...HOWEVER LONG AGO. Damn this world..."

"I haven't, and they're partially the reason why," Hook sighed,"Bae and I had a bit of a falling out... He's the dark ones son, and Milahs. I saved him from drowning, hoping to get information about his father but he found out who I was. Even after I told him the truth about his mother and I, he said he'd rather go off on his own- risk death than stay with me on my ship"
"I'd been sincere when I told him he could have a family again, with the crew and I but he shot it down," Hook shook his head- almost shamefully," At the same time the lost boys were looking for him, and so long as he wanted nothing to do with us he served no purpose on my ship. I gave him up to them"
The last sentence sounded regretful, guilty and full of shame- even if Hook had assured himself it was the best thing to do.

Else looked at him. She couldn't believe what she was hearing: the Dark One... HAD A SON??? She shuddered to think of the terms of what deal brought about about a union with some unfortunate woman. AND THEN TO HEAR THAT IT WAS MILAH. Everything was coming full circle... made complete sense...
She could empathize with the sadness in his voice and knew that he truly regretted what he had done...
But... the IDIOT...
The queen reached over and slapped him upside the head to knock some smarts into him. "You handed that poor boy over too THEM??? Pan's merciless stooges??" Sure, they were little older then children... but they were heartless, those Lost Boys. "And then just sat back in your cabin, KNOWING that Milah's child was HERE...and... oh, you are COMPLETELY UNBELIEVABLE, Captain Jones..."
"We're getting him BACK... we're getting them ALL back... anyone who wants to be free!" She declared, a little too loudly. Perhaps fatigue was against her, making her think that this impossible mission was not complicated what-so-ever. Perhaps that was the difference between her and Hook. She had to be calm and calculating in deceitful circumstances... but she was quick to be selfless and help others at her own expense, little thought given...
The Opposite seemed to be the way for Hook. Sure... he cared whether she lived or died NOW... after being stuck together... and apparently seeing her bosom had earned the Queen some points as well... she had to earn Hook's help... when she was eager to give it in the name of good.
"Looks like 'Red Handed Jill' will be making another appearance before the lot of Lost Boys..." She muttered under her breath as she disappeared into the thickness of trees to make her way down closer to the camp.

Hook quirked a small smile, she was definitely angry- well, no, disappointed with him, but she had spunk and rather than waste time lecturing him she was going to act- which was fine with him.
He followed her down the steep hill stepping over and through prickly brush. He peered out through the branches and looked back over t Else," And what sort of plan does 'Red Handed Jill' have, if I may ask?"

"Jill is thinking..." Else said, looking out at the scene before her, analyzing the best way to go about it. It was amazing that despite ALL that they had been through that day, she felt adreniline pump within her, not knowing where it had been stored the entire time.
"Last time it was day... the Shadow wasn't a problem; it can't stand light. And with a little bit of smoke and mirrors, I was able to trick the Lost boys. I don't think the same approach will work again." She scratched her chin, narrowing her eyes. "The cover of night would be a good advantage... but that blasted shadow!"

Then.... what they needed was a distraction," Just get the boys" he murmured. Then dashed around the corner before she could convince him otherwise
Hook climbed over the brush and straight over to the crowd of boys,"'Lo gentlemen" immeadiately they swarmed around himsome of them with gleefully yet murderous looks on their faces,"Hey! Hold on now, I came to you to offer you some help..."
Hook was completely improvising, hoping he could buy enough time for Else to go rescue the stolen boys.
