A/N: Well here is another chapter! Yay! We are almost near the end...I see the ending happening on chapter seven. Afterward, I see myself doing a sequel but taking place in the time of Jak 3. I know you are thinking this is some short story, but I just don't see how smooth it would be if I placed Jak3 in this Jak2 story right now. I rather create a seperate story as a sequel than...man I'm starting to confuse myself. Ok...just forget what I said. Right now I'm confused and my brain is starting to hurt. Enjoy the chapter!
Chapter Five: Murky Waters
The moaning…
The groaning…
The whispering…
The laughing…
They all faded away after thirty minuets of clenching the edge of the table in disgust. It was a bad idea coming here tonight, there were so many signs but he ignored them. Instead of having a drink and leaving he heard a symphony of cascading notes and cries of ecstasy. It was just plain sickening to hear this – god I need another drink. Errol fidgeted as he stared at his empty glass. I need one…now.
Furious with the world and everything about it, he stood up and began to march out of the saloon. But he stopped midway as his eyes caught the sleeping form of a young woman. Her golden-brown hair rested on her chest as it rose up and down in slow movements. Her slender hand rested on her abdomen as her face was expressionless.
Errol advanced and gently picked the sleeping girl up into his welcoming arms. His eyes avoided the half-naked man that slept with his head resting on the table. The young woman in his arm mumbled something inaudible and shifted in his arms. Her lips were pressed on his clothed chest and a smile was etched on her face. "Errol?" she whispered as she nuzzled his chest affectionately.
Errol tensed immediately as he heard his name and also from her nuzzling him. His mind did a flip in confusion, she just exchanged spit with the bastard Torn and now she thinks she can do this to me? Fuck no. "What?" he growled in response as he walked toward the waiting zoomer.
She chuckled softly as she looked up at him through glazed eyes. "Such a tease," she drew patterns with her index finger across his body, and smiled when he shivered eagerly. "Are you not pleased to see me?" she added in a voice that grew with sensual emotions.
Errol stared at her with shock running through his features, "Of course I'm pleased to see you… But than I'm not pleased to see you. You're now with the Underground and I'm with the KG. You stabbed your own city and me in the back the day you left. I should kill you right now but the Baron needs you alive."
Climbing on the zoomer, he placed Hazel in front of him. Carefully grabbing the handles and making sure she won't fall, he changed hover zones and headed toward the palace. "Hmm. I miss those days… I wish everything could be back to normal," she confessed as she teetered dangerously to the left but only to be held by Errol.
Leaning forward to her ear he spoke softly, "I can make that happen. Just tell me where the hideout is and come back to us." Hazel was silent as her drunken mind failed to process the price of this deal. "Haven City needs you, the Baron needs you," he lightly nibbled on her earlobe before pulling back, "I need you."
Hazel chuckled softly, "You got yourself a deal…" Her mind was sluggish as mud as she spilled out the location of the Underground's hideout. Errol grinned into the night and allowed her drunk and disorientated figure to lean onto his chest. His golden eyes shinned with an inhuman light as he stared down hungrily at her defenseless body.
Licking his lips he exhaled softly, "That's my girl, that's my girl. I'm glad to have you back." She hummed softly to herself as the sky crackled with terrifying thunder. Lightening streaked across the sky as it illuminated the looming palace that smirked at Haven's disastrous state. Welcome to Haven City, welcome home.

Two days left till sanitizing the Slums
Eyelids fluttered as green orbs beheld a pale white ceiling. She felt the warmth of a body press against her as a hand rested on her bare chest. Turning her head toward this body she saw fiery-orange hair and a tattooed face. Errol's expression was angelic when he was asleep or in a good mood. It surprised her how much Errol stayed the same while she felt she'd grown more childish in a sense.
She lightly traced his jaw line as she admired him from close up. The thin white sheet that covered his half-naked body rested on his hips. Drawing circles on his chest with her fingers left her still dazed and memorized. Scooting closer to his warm body she allowed her lips to softly kiss the crook of his neck.
Errol, in response, rolled on top of her with cocky boyish grin etched on his face. "You're up early," he whispered in a husky as he dipped his head toward her collarbone to leave feather-like kisses. Hazel ran a slender hand through his mass of fiery-colored hair as he sucked savagely on her skin.
She whimpered softly in pleasure as he moved downward with his burning lips. His right hand began to caress her right breast as he kissed her feverishly in the middle of her chest.
Moving back up to her lips he kissed her passionately as his tounge was greeted eagerly by a slightly opened mouth. Exploring and running his velvet tongue against hers he felt her body buck in surprise from underneath him. Grinning into her mouth, he nibbled on the bottom of her lip as his right hand abandoned her breast and moved toward her hip.
"Commander Errol. Commander Errol? The Baron wants to see you," a voice filled his ear as he stopped midway from undressing the groaning girl. Errol felt his jaw stiffen as he heard this, what does that fat bastard want now?
"I'm coming...just give me a moment."
He looked down at Hazel and gave her a sad smile, "Remember where we finished off, ok?"
Hazel pouted as she kissed his still lips lightly, "Leaving me all alone?" Errol grinned and got off the bed in one fluid motion. Scratching his bare chest he grabbed his uniform as an idea pounced on him.
"Hmm. Actually...you should get dressed. I have a plan," Errol smirked as he felt Hazel run past him for clothes. "I'm going to show you off to the Baron, maybe he might lay off for a while," he added after second-thoughts.
Errol soon exited the room with a cheerful brown-haired elf by his side. She would smile and nod at the palace as she once again became familiar with her home. "God I miss this place...it's good to be back," she whispered as she felt Errol nuzzle her neck in agreement.
As they reached the doors that lead to the throne room, Errol silently gestured for her to stay here until the time was right. Hazel nodded and watched Errol disappear through the creamy-colored double doors. Adjusting her KG armor slightly she combed her hair with her fingers as her green orbs scanned the area.
"Ah, Commander Errol. It's good to see you...now I called you here because I received some troubling news."
"Yes?"
"We are in desperate need of an interrogator, our best interrogator is still with the Underground, and we have thousands of new criminals that need to be questioned. Now, tell me this Errol. You volunteered to get her back...it's been two weeks. Care to explain?"
"Of course, sir. I was just waiting for the right opportune moment. But before you go on...I have someone you may want to see. If I may..."
The doors opened and Hazel walked toward Errol with a smile plastered on her face. Errol was such a talker and this just proved her point. Standing by Errol's side she placed her hands by her side.
She watched with amusement as the Baron's eye bulge out with surprise and disbelief. "Commander Hazel?" he asked softly but she heard his words as clear as day. Nodding in recognition, her green orbs twinkled with laughter.
"At your service," she replied as she heard Errol snort at the Baron's wild gestures in surprise.
"I'm glad your back..." the Baron finally sighed with relief as he sank further into his chair. "But how can we trust you?"
Errol cleared his throat before Hazel could open her mouth. "She told me where the Underground's hideout and we sent to spies to see if the information was true. They came back last night to confirm the information...Hazel was telling the truth," Errol answered as he watched the Baron nod in deep satisfaction.
I told Errol where the Underground is located? Man, I just assured myself that I'm going be skinned alive by Torn.
"Good. We sanitize the Slums earlier than planned. Tomorrow afternoon, the Slums will be gone," the Baron barked with authority as the two KG commanders saluted in confirmation. "Hazel you will attain your normal rank as Commander and your team will be waiting for your commands as we speak. You two should celebrate at the time being, you both deserve it," the Baron's voice softened as he watched the two salute and head off.
"Without the Underground, who can possibly stop me now?" the Baron whispered as he watched the rain patter on the glass windows that surrounded him.
