Lily And Jack"Jack! Travellin' Jack! Jack!" was the words that came out of Speedy Parker's mouth when he saw Jack half a mile away from where he was standing a few moments ago.
When Jack and his mother went to the Alhambra Inn, that's when he found out that her mother was dying. At first he thought that his mother was running away from all the problems, telephone calls and others but he now know that she came out there probably to die. This assumption was further verified when his 'Uncle Morgan called them up to ask them to go back to New York and have her visit a doctor. But his mother did not want to.
Even though his mother forbid him to go to Speedy Parker's place, Jack visit him again because of this latest findings. He wanted a comfort of a friend and Speedy is his only friend in this part of the world.
Speedy then told Jack that he was destined to travel and save and her mother and someone just like here, in a place he called 'The Territories'.
The first time Jack saw this Territories was from a picture hanging form Speedy Parker's wall. That place in the picture was nothing Jack has ever seen before. Speedy says it's in Africa, but Jack soon found out it's not.
When Speedy says he have to save his mother and the 'Queen', Jack, at first reluctant, agreed. He was given a bottle of green liquid that will enable him to go to The Territories... If ever he wanted to go back to his real world he just have to drink again.
And that's what Jack did. He managed to swallow a pinch of the liquid. He closed his eyes because of the burning sensation and when he opened it, he was in a different world - The Territories.
The sun looks smaller but more fiery. He walked a few steps looking attentively at the surroundings. He looked where the hotel has been and the Fun World amusement park, all gone. All he can see are green grass and beach sands.
He then heard something that made him turn over his right side... What he saw surprised him! A gull as big as an eagle and hopping unafraid towards him. The gull apparently saying 'mother dying, jake'... otherrrr, iiyyiiinnnggggg aaakkeeee....
He tried to scared off the gull but did to no avail. He then drank another gulp of that green goo, and then he was back. He was back half a mile from Speedy Parker who's calling his name....
... to be cont....
