Chapter 7


I stared up at the two males that stood before my sister and I. Well ok, male…and a half. My sister joined the other ottsel in confusion as he hopped off of the older boys shoulder. I glared at him but he only put on an amused smirk. "What are you smilin' at pretty boy?" I demanded as I got up off the ground and onto my own two feet.

His eyebrows shot up at my comment but I kept my glare. "Well?" Jak put a hand on his hip and gave me a cold look. I could have sworn I saw his eyes flash quickly over with a black tint and he raised his voice at me. "Watch it or-" he cut himself short. "Nothing…" he said as his face found a fowl mood but vanished as he sighed and his facial features softened a bit. "So who is this hottie might I ask?" Daxter cooed. My sister rolled her eyes and blew her bangs out of her eyes. "In your dreams Daxter." she said as she turned around and swayed her hips from side to side just to tell him, 'Never in your life!' But being Daxter he read it as, 'Come get me.'

He ran over to her and stopped right in front of her, "I'm sorry babe, but I don't think we've ever met."

CJ rolled her eyes. And then Daxter took a note of her clothing. They were the same clothing she would have worn as a human. His eyes grew a bit and he backed off with a bit of a twitch. "CJ?" he hollered. Carol-Anne nodded her head slowly with her hands on her hips and her eyes closed.

I looked at Jak and we both held a funny looks as we looked back at the two animals. Daxter was flipping out and freaking over about what happened to my sister. "What happened?" My attention was pulled away from the two animals to Jak. His face was confused and not caring for the subject at the same time. I huffed and folded my arms as I looked to the side. "And since when do you care? You made sure that you got lost in the Prison so that you weren't stuck with me." I looked over to him to see his face held what looked like he was being surprised and being stabbed in the heart at the same time. That was shaken off fast though and he looked at me coldly once more. "What's wrong with you Coco?" he said in disbelief.

"Oh I don't know, maybe I'm mad at the fact for you being an asshole!" I yelled. He stared at me harder and I saw that his eyes flashed over once more in that tint of black. "You know what-"

"WHAT?" I demanded a bit softer but still almost at the top of my lungs as I balled my hands into fists and kept them at my sides.

"I'm leaving. You can find your own bloody way home. Hell I don't even care if you get caught cause I sure as hell ain't the one that will be bailing you out!" he turned around, snatched up Daxter and jumped onto the nearest Zoomer. I took a step forward and yelled at him before he took off. "Fine leave, I don't care!"

He sped off before I could say any more. My face was red with anger. "Coco…are you ok?" my sister asked as she walked up beside me and hopped onto my shoulder. I sighed and looked at the ground, "N-no-I-I…" I furrowed my eyebrows and only thought of hatred towards the blonde male. "I just…I-" I gripped the sides of my head. "Ugh!"

CJ looked at me concerned. "If he hurt you at all, I'll kick his ass. And if I cant I'll personally hire someone to do it for me." she said in a defensive tone. I smiled at her. "Thanks sis, but I think we should be heading back now. I mean look, its almost night fall." I said as I pointed quickly up towards the sky. "Yeah, ok." she said and slouched slightly on my shoulder. "Lets head to the HQ and we'll get some shut eye." I said as I found an unguarded Zoomer.


As we flew threw the air, I felt Carol-Anne's tiny animal claws dig slightly into my shoulder. "SLOW DOWN DAMN IT!" she hollered over the wind. "We aren't even traveling that fast, I said as we were just six blocks away from the Underground. "Well I'm smaller in sizzzeeeeee!" Carol-Anne said as we dropped hover zones to dodge the KG hellcat cruisers and Zoomer's. I rolled my eyes. "Oh well."

As we neared the Underground I noticed that Torn was standing outside the building with Tess. She was standing behind him with a worried face. I carefully parked the vehicle and approached them with wonder. "Wolf, good to see you. Where is Skyla?" Torn said gruffly. I turned around to see CJ running towards me on two feet instead of all fours. "Ummm. Yeah about that," I said uneasily. "Ya see the funny thing is, well-"

"TESS!" my sister cried out with her arms outstretched into a, small, hug. Her face was pure happiness while Torn and Tess's were pure shock. "Skyla?" Tess said as she bent down to pick her up carefully. "What happened, and why is she all fuzzy?" She said as she looked at both my sibling and I worried. "That was the 'funny thing' Tess. You see when she was arrested they put her under for experiments I gather, but if I'm wrong then probably torture. But that only took them a year and a half. I'm afraid that if we were any later that she may have been dead by then." Torn nodded at that.

"I think that your hypothesis may just be right. But what is really bugging me," Torn said as he went inside and we followed. He continued to talk as he walked down the stairs and until he reached the circular table covered with maps, "is that the Baron is just taking people at random and is putting them under for testing." he concluded when he reached the table and spun around. "Why do you think that he would be doing this?" Tess questioned as she put my sister on the table. "Yeah, I'm sure he wasn't hopin' for a result like this!" she exclaimed.

Torn nodded slowly and spoke almost coldly, "I'm sure he wasn't Carol-Anne but I'm guessing that he is trying to perfect something. Like a program of some sort." he sighed and shook his head. "I'll try and dig something up." Tess piped up in a bubbly tone. "In the mean time, you two will head out to the strip mine. An old friend of ours is out there. He needs some assistance and we need him back so that he can access some of the Barons files." Torn said and Carol-Anne's little ottsel ears perked upwards. "Wait you mean ol' jitter's?"

"Yes CJ, ol' jitters." I confirmed.

"Aww! Anything but that! Please!"

"I'm afraid not."

My sister huffed and sat down with a tiny thud in defeat and pouted with her arms crossed. I chuckled and lightly patted her on the back. "Come on now, you know you like that guy. You said that he was smart as hell once and that he was the best thing the Underground ever had! Now you turn your back on poor old Vin when he needs us? Shame on you." I said playfully.

"Oh yeah? Well what about that blonde guy you thought would be good meat for the fight? You just tossed him away like tra-" I covered her mouth and smiled while Torn raised an eyebrow. She bit me of course. 'Why must you always do that?' I thought as I scowled. "What are you talking about soldier?" I put my hands behind my back and mumbled as I looked at the ground. "Speak up!"

I shot my head up in surprise but did as I was told. "In my books, he stepped outta line. But he just got real pushy and we both got pissed off at each other, then one thing led to another and next thing you know, he's leaving us at the palace entree alone." Torn narrowed his eyes at me. "I know your skipping something Loray so tell me." I frowned at him and folded my arms. "No I am not and you know, I think I may just bloody well damn quit if I have to put up with any more of this 'distrusting' shit! You always throw that out at me and I'm sick and fucking tired of it!" I screamed. I spun on my heel and stormed out leaving Torn, CJ and Tess standing there.

My sister looked at Torn and the older man sighed. "Lemme talk to her." she said as she hoped off the table. "Carol-Anne, be careful…you know how she gets when she's mad." the older man said with sadness. "I know." she smiled. She scurried off up the stairs in search of me.


I on the other hand was both pissed like hell at both Torn; for being an ass and the Baron; for what he did to Carol-Anne, but more importantly I was pissed at the rookie and I wanted to talk with him and get some things straightened out.

'That lil' prick, I'll show him.' I thought as I stormed my way down the slums homeless streets. I was so mad and I didn't even know what brought me here. "Great." I said as I rolled my eyes with sarcasm. "Now what? I magically find them close by?" I sighed and looked to the ground with a sign of defeat and shame. "Who am I kidding. That guy was the best field operator we'd ever had and I got to personal about the situation and drove him away." I lent against one of the old and crumbling walls. There was a garbage bin lit as a fire place with three men surrounding it trying to keep warm. "Poor bastards," I said under my breath as I neared them. I took out three of the fifteen gold coins I had found while I was crawling around the Barons palace and flipped a coin to each man. "Here you go boys, enjoy yourselves."

Their faces lit up and they all ginned at one another. "Thank you miss."

"Don't mention it." I waved over my shoulder as I headed towards the Bazaar. On my way I was stopped by an orange blur. "Coco!" it hollered. It was Daxter in a full blown panic attack. Great. I rolled my eyes at him, "What do you want fuzz ball?" he ignored my comment and started frantically pointing to his left slightly behind him. "We-we was all… a-and then they was…and an ambush! Then he fell and I freaked out then I found-" I put my finger over his mouth to stop him for a second. "Daxter," I said slowly. "who is, 'he'?"

He pushed my finger away impatiently and yelled almost at the top off his frail lungs. "JAK!" I felt hate and distrust cross both my heart and my mind as I put on a frown. "He should be fine on his own-" I was cut off as I was walking away from the rodent.

"No, he isn't and I don't think he ever will be!"

"Daxter what exactly are you getting at here?"

"I think he's dead!" he peeped and I felt my knees get weak as I went bug eyed. I shook that feeling off though and looked down at the animal sternly. "Are you sure Dax?" and he nodded his head vigorously. "Alright, tell me where he is and I'll go check it out."

I grabbed a near by zoomer and sped off with Daxter glued to my shoulder. Strangely he wasn't complaining about my driving at all, or saying that he may fall off…hell he didn't talk at all!

We neared the water slums when I saw a body laying in a pool of blood and multiple burns and bullet holes on their body. I parked the zoomer and hoped off, when I neared the body I realized it was Jak...and he looked not to alive if you ask me.


o.o oh my...seemingly 'dead' body...hmmmmm i wonder how this'll turn out! youll find out in chapter 8, until then stay awsum!
