with a Jack interruption

<p>
Unbeknownst to us, a different drama was unfolding in the basement where Ben and Jane captured Jack 
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2009/08.09-21.09AugustEvents//100_0292
</PHOTO>
and Emma
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2009/08.09-21.09AugustEvents//100_0293
</PHOTO>
as Jack began to climb
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2009/08.09-21.09AugustEvents//100_0294
</PHOTO>
and Emma bounced
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2009/08.09-21.09AugustEvents//100_0295
../../../Sabbat/2009/08.09-21.09AugustEvents//100_0296
../../../Sabbat/2009/08.09-21.09AugustEvents//100_0297
</PHOTO>
and soon Jack was down
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2009/08.09-21.09AugustEvents//100_0298
</PHOTO>
up
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2009/08.09-21.09AugustEvents//100_0299

and down
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2009/08.09-21.09AugustEvents//100_0302
../../../Sabbat/2009/08.09-21.09AugustEvents//100_0303

from the high window soon to be joined by Emma as they both climbed up
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2009/08.09-21.09AugustEvents//100_0304
../../../Sabbat/2009/08.09-21.09AugustEvents//100_0305
</PHOTO>
prepared for the jump
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2009/08.09-21.09AugustEvents//100_0306
</PHOTO>
and then took off even as they told us that they were not allowed to do this.

The scene emerging upstairs evolved
