Chapter 4: Drive By!

Jak and Dax stood outside the garage guarding Larry.

When Jak looked at his watch, it said 11:30 pm.

"Oh shit!"

"What" Daxter asked.

"It's 11:30! You know what that means."

A car passed very slowly and a blazing machine gun came out of the window.

"Larry! Look out!" Jak screamed.

Jak dove and knocked Larry out of the way.

The bullets passed by and went straight through his wall.

"Stay covered!"

"Let's get him, Jak!" Daxter screamed.

Jak got in his car and took off towards the car.

The gunman was flying like a rocket.

Jak kicked the car into top gear and got next to the gunman's car.

He used his blaster mod to shoot the tires out.

The car crashed into a telephone pole and the gunman got out.

He fired a shot at Jak. He ducked and the bullet knicked Daxter on the ear.

"Aaagh! He got me Jak!"

The gunman ran away and Jak chased him down and punched him in the back.

He fell but got up and shot Jak in the chest.

Suddenly everything Jak saw went black.

When he woke up, he was lying in Joeanne's bed.

"He gotcha good honey." She said.

"Where did he go?" Jak asked.

Daxter walked into the room.

"He got away Jak. He said something about a stadium." Daxter informed.

Joeanne looked at Daxter.

"There's only one of those stadiums in the area. Praxis Arena." She said.

Jak's eyes widened and he sat up.

"Praxis! I bet he's behind this!"

"Come on Dax! We've gotta go there now."

"Where is it?" Jak asked.

"Head down the road to the third left you see. Take that left and you won't miss the stadium." Joeanne answered.

"Let's go Jak!"

Daxter was already in the passenger seat.

Jak hopped into the driver side.

They took off down the road.

Jak's hair looked like it was on fire.

They found the road and made a left.

The stadium was rising from the horizon.

They darted straight for the parking lot.

Jak slammed on the brakes and screeched his tires the whole way into the parking lot.

He grabed Daxter and his blaster.

When they got into the stadium, a whole army of guards were ready for them.

"Hey fellas. Lookin' for Praxis. You know where I could find him?" Jak asked.

"Prepare to die, Jak!" One of the guards shouted.

"Alright let's go!"

Jak shot the guard.

The guards were firing at Jak with their machine guns.

He dodged their bullets one by one and fired back.

The guards on the cat walk dropped like dead flies.

One bullet had got him in his right shoulder.

He grabbed it. "Good shot!"

He shot the guard in the face.

"But mine was better!"

A bullet hit Daxter in the leg and he fell over.

"Daxter! You'll pay for that!" Jak screamed.

He went to shoot the support beam under the guard but he was out of ammo.

"Damn!" Jak shouted. He ran behind a beam and loaded his scatter gun.

He fired 2 blasts and the rest of the guards were down.

He ran back to Daxter. "Are you okay buddy?"

"Jak? Is that you?" Daxter asked. He was bleeding and coughing.

"Yeah Dax. It's me. What do you need?"

"Go on without me. I'll go to the car and stop the bleeding."

"Are you sure?" Jak asked.

Daxter nodded.

"Okay. Don't worry Daxter. It'll be okay."

Jak ran up the steps onto a catwalk.

"Praxis! Where the hell are you? I know you are behind all this! You may as well come out you bastard!"

Praxis walked into the room.

"Looking for me, Jak?" He screamed.

"Just the man I wanted to talk to." Jak said.

"I know you wanted Larry dead! Just like you. When you don't get your way, someone has to die! Well now that person is you." Jak said.

"Look's like you've caught me Jak. But it seems my men are going to kill the wrong guy. They have your rat now!"

"You bitch! If you even lay a hand on my friend, I'll have your ass hanging on my wall!"

Praxis laughed. "I'm not going to hurt him. But if you don't hurry, my men will."

"Where did they take him?"

"To the top floor. You have 24 hours to save him." Praxis answered with a rather evil grin.

Jak got in his car and hauled ass back to Larry's house.
