Lost Boy: The True Story of Captain Hook

As Jamie dreams, he remembers his childhood. His father was abusive, but his mother loved him. Jamie remembers being a young child and finding his mother’s body in the alleyway behind their house. Her throat was cut, and she was covered in blood. At that moment, a boy appeared and told Jamie that because he was covered in blood, people would think that he had killed his mother. Jamie insisted that he did not kill her, but the boy promised to show Jamie a world in which they could play forever and never grow up. The boy, Peter, led Jamie through a tunnel to the island, and Jamie forgot about his old life.

When Jamie awakens after this dream, he realizes that Peter killed his mother. Jamie is now furious that Peter has prevented him from growing up and becoming a man. Charlie points out that Jamie has grown a beard, and Sal worries that Jamie is growing up too quickly. Jamie admits to Charlie and Sal that the tunnel is gone, but he shares his idea of going to the pirates for help in escaping from the island.
