Hook or me: the fall of the pirates

1 A tiny swimmer crosses Kidd's Creek toward the pirate brig, a second wake trailing him

2 Unseen at the bulwark, Peter finds the pirate crew huddled in dread around their captain

3 Peter's dagger silently fells the quartermaster as John smothers his groan

4 The captain points his hook at the cabin door; his crew shoves the chained boys toward it

5 Peter flings off Wendy's cloak and raises his dagger as the pirates reel back

6 At Peter's shout, the boys hunt the scattering pirates as Hook stands rigid

7 The cornered captain leaps to the powder hatch with a lit fuse, glancing back in defiance

8 The pirate captain leaps onto the rail as the boy glides toward him, dagger poised

9 Kicked by Peter, Captain Hook tips backward off the bulwark, arms wide, smiling

10 Worn out, Peter sleeps against Long Tom, sobbing in a dream as Wendy holds him close
