This startled Jack and his eyes went wide to hear the boy struggle with his words and something told him that this Scratch guy wasn’t someone he wanted to try and mess with. He grunted as Jason squeezed his hand and looked deep into the boy’s eyes, trying to figure out what the hell was wrong with Scratch and why Jason was so afraid of him. “He…did?” That was a weird thought and he felt a little sick to his stomach, but no…he wasn’t going to let Jason down no matter what.<br/><br/>“I’m not stupid. I’ll just be careful what I wish for and I’m sure I can make<em>some</em>deal with him. Everyone has something they want.” His chest started to pound and he let out a sigh as he thought about how things might go wrong. “Don’t…don’t worry about it. I’m doing this for you and when you’re free, you’ll thank me.” He smiled pleasantly at him and looked down at his watch. There wasn’t much time left, but he had to find out where this Scratch guy was.<br/><br/>He ignored his racing heart and did his best to calm down. “Jason, where is he? I won’t let you down. Pretend that everyone before me didn’t happen. Just trust that I’ll save ya…I will.” He was sure that he could do something and no matter what…Jack wasn’t going to give up.
