Two days later, Abbey was back working at the Hip Hog. Lexi and her worked the same shift this time, but an unexpected visitor came from the door way. It was Roy. He looked as if he didn't sleep for days, and had brought coffee for the girls and himself. "Good morning ladies!" he sang out loud. Abbey and Lexi laughed and said their good mornings as well.
"One mocha latté for Lexi, and one regular with vanilla creamer for Abbey." He said, making sure he gave the right ones to the girls.
"Thanks Roy!" Lexi said. Roy noticed Abbey being very quiet this morning, as she stacked up on the drinks on the shelves. "Everything okay Abs?" Abbey sighed. "Just thinking, that's all." She said, smiling. "Ahh! I know who you're thinking about! It's that handsome warrior right?" Lexi said, playing with her long hair and the two giggled.
"Who?! I want answers!" Roy begged; being teased by more laughing from Lexi.
"Well… I met this boy. He is just; so amazing. Those eyes are beautiful and just... so damn good looking." She finished with a small laugh. For some reason, Jak was all on her mind now. It's been two days; he must be very busy trying to help Haven City.
"What's his name?" Roy asked.
"Jak" she said.
Lexi heard footsteps from the doorway and smiled, she noticed that Abbey didn't see the figure at the door with the orange Ottsel on his shoulder. Jak noticed Lexi and waved. Lexi had an idea; she motioned Jak to playfully sneak up on her. Daxter and Jak understood. Carefully, Jak walked quietly up behind Abbey; who was beyond clueless. "And when will you see him again?" Lexi asked, almost laughing. Abbey sighed again.
"I have no-." Jak's hands covered her eyes and Abbey laughed. She recognized the hands immediately and smiled.
"Jak!" she said playfully. She turned around and there he was.
Jak made the goofiest grin Daxter had ever seen. Lexi was happy for her and so was Roy.
"So you're Jak? Huh?" Roy said. Jak introduced himself to Roy. "The name is Roy." The boys shook hands.
"Play nice." Lexi mumbled. Abbey eye balled Lexi and smiled. But Krew came out all the sudden to interrupt the little friendly party.
"Ah Jak! You're here! I have a proposition for you." He said, he noticed Roy behind the bar stand. "What are you doing here ey?" he hissed. Roy rolled his eyes and chuckled.
"Paying my friends a visit! Duh! I need a social life too ya know." He sassed back. Lexi and Abbey chuckled. Jak and Abbey looked at each other and smiled. Krew growled, and continued his talk with Jak and Daxter.
"Racing is the biggest sport in the city! Erol is the undisputed grand champion. He's crazy and dangerous on the track." Abbey made a noise at the sound of Erol's name. Krew got in Jak's face. "Only a fool would dare race against him, 'ey!" The moment Krew turned away, Jak started to make a face as he smelt Krew's breath. Abbey giggled and Krew noticed. "And what are you laughing at ey?" Abbey held the rest of the laughs in. "Anyways, that's where you two come in. A client of mine is looking for a fast driver for her racing team.
Krew handed him a security pass and decided to give him the contract. "I've ah, already signed your name to save time, mmmmmnn." Daxter and Roy read the contract; the two were surprised about the game rights and the other rules that went along with it. As Krew finished, he went off to go have a nap for his beauty sleep. Daxter was yapping to Jak about something to do with the contract; but Roy noticed Abbey in pain about something. Roy mouthed, "Did you take the pills this morning?" Abbey shook her head no and grabbed her side quickly.
The pills were for her scars on her hip. Her doctor said if she even missed one day of the pills, she would have excruciating pain on her hip, causing her not to walk or even move. Abbey shut her eyes; trying to hide the pain for Jak. But Daxter was a bit on observant and saw her.
"You alright there sweet heart? You need the bathroom or something?" Jak turned over and noticed.
"What's wrong?" Jak asked in a concerning voice. But Abbey was too distracted on the pain. She tried to get up, but suddenly collapsed to the ground. Causing panic.
"Abbey!" everyone shouted and rushed to her side.
