Sorry for the long wait. I own squat.

For this chapter, I asked my very wise parents to help me out. My dad said I should make it like Star Trek and have her beamed out at the last second. My mom said her house should catch on fire and Jak saves her. My dad then said she could blow up from the tiny boom that happened in my other story. My mom suggested her to be poisoned at a local pub. I have a better plan. And I feel sorry for Keira.

Jak had to assure Keira again and again that if anyone touched her, he'd murder them. She was undoubtedly freaking out beyond control.

"Tell you what," he suggested, as he was very tired, "I'll stay with you tonight to prove no one will hurt you."

"Okay," Keira replied immediately.

As soon as they walked into Keira's room, Jak collapsed in the arm chair, "I'm a light sleeper," he quickly said seeing the frightened look on her face.

In about an hour, Keira was fast asleep. Jak was sure no one would dare kill her with him in the room, even if he was halfway across it. Just as his eyelids began to droop, he heard a noise that made him jump.

Someone... or something... was trying to break in.

Jak got to his feet and shook Keira awake. Before she could say anything he told her to hide.

She found a spot in the dark just behind her work table. She could never find anything if it fell back there, so how would anyone find her?

Jak sneakily moved around the wooden ledge out over the open water to get a closer look. The noises kept coming but Jak could see no one. He ran silently into the garage and picked up his dagger. He slid in into the sheath on his belt and ran back outside.

The noises were getting closer and it was just then when Jak realized they had already got inside.

He dashed into her bedroom flicking on the light switch. He raised his dagger high.

"You stop right there!" he yelled before realizing it wasn't Errol, Gol, Maya, or any form of dangerous creature. In fact, it was hardly a creature at all.

It was Daxter.

"JESUS, JAK!" he screamed and Keira suddenly bounded in the room, "YOU THINK I HAVE THE LIBERTY TO COME INTO MY BEST FRIEND'S ROOM!"

Jak threw the dagger aside, "Oh... crap... sorry, about that Dax..."

"YOU BETTER SAY CRAP! MY FUR IS ON ITS LAST END!" He shouted, "Why are you pointing a dagger at anyone?!"

Jak decided it was better to tell him now, "Dax, someone is out to kill Keira. I was in here protecting her... don't do that!!"

Daxter was mocking Jak with his hand, "I see your mouth moving, Jak, but all I hear it blah de blah de BLAH!"

"Yeah, yeah, shove it." Jak said utterly annoyed.

"Just get back to sleep Keira." Jak told her and the lights went back out.

Daxter snapped out of his trance. He took out the knife he had stowed in his glove, "What the..."

Outside, Errol was silently cackling. He knew, after that experience, everyone would soon be well asleep. He had of course been watching them for the last hour.

He had no idea, of course, that three certain people were already watching him.

Oh dear. This can't end well.

Till next time.
