Here's Chapter 3, Enjoy!
Chapter 3: Constant Interruptions
Unfortunately for all, a very hung-over Daxter walked in to the Underground early that morning with Tess in tow, unknown to the busy couple.
"Jak! Where are ya buddy!?" Daxter called out.
"Keira?" Tess called out after Daxter.
"Keira? Why would she be –WHAT?" He said as he scurried to Jak's bedroom only to find certain articles of clothing scattered and one very messy bed. "Oh-my-Mar!" And that must have been the key phrase, because just at that time, Keira appeared with only a towel on, running from Jak, who was, with out a towel, per say. Keira stopped dead and Jak ran into her.
"Ow...wha?-" he began, until he saw Tess and Daxter, who was tapping his foot, glaring at them. Jak quickly got behind Keira to hide himself, blushing.
Daxter lifted his finger and opened his mouth, about to say something, but instead just turned around and walked away, taking Tess with him. With that, the couple ran into Jak's room and shut the door with a bang. They fell on the bed and laughed.
"Oh, man, that was horrible!" was all Jak could say.
They slowly got dressed, and snuck out into the hallway, hoping that their two friends had left. To both of their disappointment, there were Tess and Dax, in the kitchen, apparently waiting for them.
"Glad to see you guys with some clothes on," Daxter snorted with sarcasm.
"C'mon Dax..." Jak tried.
"Well, I think it's romantic!" Tess added, patting Daxter on the head.
"Not when you're staring at your best friend's package, it ain't!" He retorted.
"I was in a towel and you were looking at Jak's-" She started, but Jak cut her off, "Uh! I'm right here! Can we stop talking about, erm.." he looked down at himself, "My stuff!"
Tess and Keira tired to stifle their laughter while Daxter just shook his head. Then, as if things weren't a mess already, Jak's hologram communicator beeped and vibrated, showing Torn's face when Jak accepted the call. "Jak, we've got problems," Torn said gravely. Jak rolled his eyes, clearly annoyed with any more 'saving the world' business.
"What's wrong now?" Jak sighed.
"Scouts report a force of metal-heads traveling through the sewers towards the city-sewer entrance in the Industrial Sector."
"No problem, I'll just go down there and..."
"No Jak, something's different about this, they shouldn't be able to organize without their leader. Our radar maps are showing massive amounts of power coming from down there."
Thinking on the current situation for a moment, Jak looked to Keira, who had an evident look of concern on her face. "Don't worry about me," he said, cupping her face in his hand, "I've saved the world twice- what else could it throw at me that I can't handle?" he finished, giving her a sly grin.
"I know, its just..." Keira said trailing off and looking down.
"Jak? We have little more than 3 hours before they reach the city. How many men do you want me to send with you?" Torn interrupted.
"Give me 20 minutes," Jak said, hanging up his communicator and taking Keira's hand, leading her down the hall.
Sensing the darkened mood filling the room, Tess and Daxter mumbled an unheard excuse to go out into the entrance room, where Torn used to sit, plotting against the Baron and Errol.
The couple returned to Jak's bedroom and sat on the edge of his still messy bed. Unlike so many others, this mission seemed odd to Jak. But, he didn't tell Keira that, lest he upset her further.
"I thought all this was finally over," She said quietly, laying her head on his left shoulder.
"Me, too. All I want is quiet, and to spend the rest of my time with you...I love you so much, do you know that?" He asked as they looked into each other's eyes and Keira nodded, leaning in for a kiss.
Jak wanted nothing more than to make love to her again before he left, but it just didn't feel right, with Keira upset and his upcoming task. He began to get dressed while she watched, attaching his leather gun holster to his back and putting his worn armor in place.
"I should probably go," Jak said taking out the communicator and grabbing his mod gun. He kissed Keira lightly on the head and walked down the hallway and then outside. He said his 'see-ya-later's' to Tess and Daxter, but Daxter jumped on his shoulder. "Whoa buddy! I can't let you go without my protection!" Daxter winked at Tess and Jak just smiled and shook his head.
They were off on another 'exciting' exploit.
