Erol shot up wide awake breathing heavily that was the most vivid fucking dream he'd ever had!
He was positive that was the rat that hung around Jak but why was Mez there? It didn't really make much sense but it must have been what'd happened after he and Jak had fallen or his subconscious was really fucked up.
"you look a bit pale, what happened?" that was Jaks voice? He must have found him, hopefully he didn't find Mez as well.
Erol thought about it for a second, he'd argued with Mez yeah then Mez went all psycho on him and grabbed his throat then there was more arguing and that sharp pain, that's right Mez drugged him and now he was here on this bench wait when did that happen?
"I don't remember" Erol lied he wasn't about to say he'd been drugged, so he had to hold back the urge to shudder it was creepy when he thought about it.
"….I saw you two arguing on a security screen"
"well you tell me what happen!" shit if he seen it on a security tape then he must have known what happened.
"umm I sorta rushed out halfway through…."
Awkward silence…..
"….oh" Erol broke it ugh the awkwardness!
"well I think I know who your friend was with last"
Jak frowned "how would you know something like that!" it was true though if he said he dreamt it he would think he was a fruit loop! Truth be told Jak already did….
Ugh whatever he should say it! "I dreamt it" he was straight forward not that he cared what anyone thought right?
"… you… uh Mez didn't hit your head did he?"
"nope he drugged me" so much for not telling Jak about that…. Oh well.
"what!"
"yeah so in the dre-"
"no no he drugged you and your fine with it?" Jak was shocked he wasn't supposed to care but drugged seriously!
"huh no I'm gonna murder him for that" he said it so calmly but seriously.
"…."
"he was with Mez"
"huh?" Jak looked at Erol.
"the rat, your friend, he was with Mez"
"Daxter? Why would he have been with Mez?"
"I don't know" this time Erol frowned he knew what Mez wanted and he wanted to know about Jaks ability to channel eco and that's why Jak didn't die in the dark warrior program but what he didn't understand was how Mez survived it and why he wasn't informed of his participation in the program.
"where were they?"
"at the race track"
"what happened after that?"
"I woke up…."
Jak frowned "you're really a fountain of information aren't you? Why would you tell me this if it was just a dream?"
"hmm I don't know"
"?"
"well I assumed you wanted some help" Erol folded his arms and smirked at the blonde this time he wasn't the one needing some help.
"….." Jak furrowed his brows a bit but it was the truth he wanted to find Daxter and he didn't want to do it alone and he wouldn't turn down a offer to help him even if it would be a blow to his pride because it was Erol who was offering to help.
"do you want me to help?" he smirked but he really did owe Jak a few things since this morning and he wasn't one to forget that just like he owed Mez a punch to the gut…..with a knife…..
"…alright yes I need some help…"
"alright then should we go to the race track?"
Jak frowned a bit, "sure I guess so but what makes you so sure he's been there with Mez?"
Erol looked at him with a serious look, Jak felt this look pierce right through him.
"because it was the most vivid and…. Scariest dream I've ever had!"
Jak raised a brow, "it scared you?"
"…." Erol frowned, it did it really did but he wasn't going to admit it.
Jak smirked, "ok then let's go I don't wanna waste another second"
Erol refrained from saying anything rash at this point although he might later….. he really didn't want to go alone either things were weird and pretty intimidating as of the moment.
The race course looked like crap signs of tear and wear that weren't here this morning were all the more visible, Erol led Jak through to the track and down to where he'd seen Daxter in his dream or nightmare if you want to take it that far.
They walked into the tunnel and along to where the black hole they'd fallen in was last seen, but all there was blood everywhere! Blood on the floor, blood on the zoomers but there wasn't any bodies…. The smell was horrific, both couldn't stand and left the tunnel instantly.
"what the fuck!" Erol exclaimed between fresh breathes of air.
"I.. I don't know" Jak replied as he covered his nose with his sleeve, he could still smell the disgusting scent.
"wait.. are those bloody foot prints?" Erol pointed towards two sets of prints made of fresh blood, although they were strange one looked to be human footprints and the other…
"DAXTER!" Jak yelled and ran off in the direction of the footprints, Erol followed suit.
Jak stopped there was a big puddle of blood…
Note: Sorry for the late chapter lol I haven't been writing much and I'm stuck on chapter 11 coz I dunno where I want it to go again lol I guess I'll just have to think of more genius twists or something hmmm lol.
