Ch. 3

"D...Dax?"

I pried one eye open and glanced around.

"D... uh... ah... Da..."

Finally I opened my other eye and put my hands down, raising my head. A heavy sigh behind me made me turn my head and I saw Jak sitting over me, a seriously relieved look on his face.

"Dax... I-I thought... God..."

For a moment I thought he was gunna bust out bawlin'. And I HATE it when people cry. So, to keep it from happening, I did the only thing I knew how.

"Aw, don't start the water works now, Big Guy! I'm fine! Orange Lightning can't be hurt by a little ol--" I pulled my feet under me an-- "NAH--" --and collapsed back onto my stomach.

"D-Dax, what's wrong?"

"Uhg..." I groaned, "M... my leg..."

"What's wrong with it?"

"HELL I dunno!" I hissed. I heard a pop and another surge of pain tore though my small body.

Well, after a few more insults and a severe trying to pinpoint the problem (including smart-JAK-ass over there yanking on my tingling toesies), Jak finally loaded me gingerly into his big arms and we ripped off the nearest zoomer and flew like Hell to the smartest (and most easily intimidated) guy we knew. Vin.

Usually I'm on Jak to be careful about his driving. But right now I was more concerned with the blinding pain enduced by the sharp turns and zone changes and just the vibrating of the machine under us than the alarms or screaming civilians.
