Does the kid look like Jak to you? At the moment I saw him I kept thinking he really reminded me of Jak, mute and greenhaired. If you haven't beaten Jak2 yet you probably won't understand some of the jokes in this chapter, or you wouldn't understand them if it hadn't contained all those SPOILERS! Cornelius returns in this chapter too, and he will point out something which isn't important to Jak2 but if you read Growing up in Haven City you will see what he talks about. R& don't forget to R!

CHAPTER 17

A KID WITH AN UNUSUAL BEAUTIFUL NAME AND AN ALWAYS ANGRY CROCADOG

(Underground HQ)

The kid: (runs around Shadow chasing a small dog)

Well, Jak and Daxter: (arrives)

Shadow: (is wearing a t-shirt saying "Praxis makes horrible muffins") hello you three, can you help me out?

Well: who's that?

Shadow: the kid's been here all the time, haven't you noticed?

Well: no no, I meant him (points at Jak)

Shadow: no idea

Daxter: me neither

Jak: what's this kid's story?

Shadow: I found him just wandering the streets. But that amulet around his neck means he's the heir to this city's throne

Cornelius: how come he's the heir when his sister is fifteen years older?

Shadow: get lost

Cornelius: I already am. Do you know the way home?

Shadow: (ignores Cornelius) can't you guys escort the kid and his mutt to the power station. Kor promised to look after him and… CROCKET STOP CHEWING ON MY FOOT! ... I'm too busy to baby-sit right now

Jak: whatever... that dog's cute, he reminds me of another dog I had as a kid

Daxter: I never remember you having a dog?

Jak: I had him when I was three. And we didn't meet until… later

Shadow: that dog's a menace

Jak: he's gorgeous… this all seems so familiar

Daxter: haven't you said that before?

Jak: I don't know. Have I?

Daxter: yes you did. You said the exact same thing when we escaped from prison. It's like Miss. Ecofreak copied it

Miss. Ecofreak: no i didn't

Jak: who cares? Come on little personwithanunusualbeutifulname, let's go to the power station.

(Power station)

Daxter: Kor! We've got a kid here for you!

Kor: great! I've always wanted a daughter

Jak: ehm… it's a boy. And you only get to borrow him

Kor: aw, Well, I'm going to kill him… keep him close I mean

Jak: good to hear

Crocket: growl! (translation: cookie)

Kor: wonder what that means? I'm sure he just said something extremely intelligent.

Jak: no doubt (pets the dog)

Crocket: (kisses Jak)

Kor: that's weird. That crazy old mutt never liked anyone but little Jak before.

Well: the kid's name's Jak?

Jak: what's wrong with that? It's a nice name.

Kor: I know! Crocket probably only likes people named Jak!

Well: the dog's name is Crocket?

Davy Crocket: what's wrong with that? It's a nice name

Kor: get lost Davy. I've got a job for you. Praxis tries to find Mars tomb. I don't believe it exists. But you can go disturb his operations at the dig anyway.

Jak: who's Praxis?

Kor: Ugly. The kid's got and air train-pass to take you out there

Daxter: we're going to ride a pass?

Kor: no idiot, you're going to ride the air train

Jak: sounds like fun

Funny, the kid's got the same name as the game's main character... odd
