Inanna watched the man escape with burning jealousy.. leave it to the cute ones to have reliable friends.. she hung her arms through the window of her cell as she waited..

"come on hotshot, I know your gonna come by..." her whispers were justified as Erol with a troop of crimzon guard swooped in. Inanna grinned and put her fingers to her mouth, a resounding whistle coming to Erol.. he groaned as he saw her.. she had been brought in as a traitor, previously a high- ranking officer of the guard and an old flame of Erol's. it was said she went insane when they caught her smuggling Eco away from the baron and into private stockholders, namely Krew. she only spoke to Erol but he was forced to deal with her since she somehow always managed to find the culprit no matter how hard the mission was. the reason she was so annoying had nothing to do with Erol and her being an item when she was on duty but with the reason she was called crazy, she only spoke in riddles.

"Erol wants to save the day,
find the man that got away.."

this time she chose to speak sing-songly, Erol hated singing and she knew that it wasn't often that someone escaped and the baron would have his head on a platter if he didn't catch the escapee.

"Just tell me what you know dammit!" she tutted her lips with a wry smile.

"temper temper little beast,
find the man and he will feast,
upon the flesh of your good guard,
leave your ego deeply scarred."

She let out an eerie laugh and the guards nodded to each other, as if agreeing to a predetermined argument as to how the two of them had been dating.. they both seemed crazy. Erol let out a growl of anger and sent his men away.

"Follow the reports from the other guard. Catch that escapee!" he turned back to Inanna, a dark grin placid on his face. "You know where hes going don't you Inanna? tell me what you want and Ill get it for you, just tell me where the escapee went."

she smiled coyly like a blushing schoolgirl.

"my my, my little Erol,
aren't you eager in your peril,
I know secrets, yes I do,
this young boy you will pursue,
find him not until you see,
subtle link between these three."

she erupted into her eerie laughter again and he reached through the bars to her face, holding it up to the window, her chin in his hands. "I can get you out of here, is that what you want Inanna? will you tell me what you know if I let you out?" her face sobered in a minute, a look of wonder adorning her face as she saw Erol the way she used to, his expression was not that of the crazed man he had become, but somehow more like the young man he used to be. Before he became consumed by hatred and so ruthless in climbing the ranks, the man she had fallen in love with years before.

"what will you do with him?" Erol smiled triumphantly, still cradling her head in his hands.. "I will bring him back where he belongs. now tell me where he is!" her wonder dissolved as he yelled that, her eyes erupted in anger and she gripped his arms, pushing them against the edges of the window, threatening to break both of his arms.

"Ill make sure you don't return,
let your girlfriend wait and yearn,
shell seek comfort in this boy,
Then you'll lose your special toy."

he scowled deeply at her checkmate. his face was now closer to the bars since she pulled his arms in but he knew she wouldn't break his arms like she threatened, it was the reason he was the one who had to deal with her. she still had feelings for him and because of that, he had to be the one to decipher her riddles. she was also insanely jealous of Kiera, whom she had somehow found out Erol was now dating. Erol somehow managed to stay calm, his scowl lessoning as he spoke to her softly "let me go Inanna." a tear slid down her cheek softly as she saw the look in his eyes and she collapsed by the door, Erol looking down at her as he pulled his arms back. she wept softly but Erol didn't leave as he usually would, satisfied that he had tortured someone, instead he seemed to have a look of pity in a way though it looked so alien on his face.. "tell me where he is going and Ill let you out. Ill even let you help me." she looked up at him like a puppy.

"do you mean it?" he nodded, and took something from his pocket. there was a soft sliding noise and a click as Erol slid the card that released her door. he was nearly thrown off the hoverer as she burst the door open and hugged Erol around the waist.

"I wont forget, now you will see!
I will find them just for thee!
his new powers do not matter,
my dear Erol, make him shatter!"

Erol smiled darkly, even though he no longer felt anything for her, she was so devoted to him that he now had a new tracker to find Jak in no time. "now then, lets find ourselves an Eco freak..."

==================

Nik: a little out of character in the beginning with Erol. but I think it leveled out in the end when it stated that he was just faking it to take advantage of her devotion to him. I think Erol should have more fics. but just to clear things up, I don't own him (and the restriction order keep getting bigger since the producers wont let me have him shifty eyes) or anyone else in Jak II even though I do own the game. Inanna is completely my character and you people better damn appreciate her because of all the trouble I went through for her damn riddles.
