-- Get Your Freak On-- 17 --

"What… is this?" Daxter asked.

Clue had led them down a small side ally near the shield wall; a young and raggedy red head had let them in through a small door, leapers and all.

They now stood in an open-air garage, much like Kleivers, though the leapers far out numbered the dune buggies. The space was ovalish and large, on one side a line of buggies were parked and on the left, a ramp cut its way into the ground leading into some kind of passage.

A blonde woman walking a bluish leaper emerged from its depths and walked by them. The many squeaking noises coming from the passage indicated some sort of under ground stables.

The emblem on the mechanical door explained it all, Leaper Children.

Clue crossed his arms, " Leaper Children garages."

Jak looked as if he was about to say something when a loud and ferocious scream broke out, "WHAAAAAAT! I… I… I should BEAT you with my OVER SIZED GUN!"

Our two renegades' attention was drawn to a screaming dark haired woman, her hair was spiky and an over sized gun did hang on her back.

A brunette stared back at her, he failed miserable at his attempts to hide from her behind his unruly bangs.

"I'm sorry… but they got caught, saw them get sent to the arena my self…" he pulled the green and black bandana off his head and held it with both hands, in a humble and modest expression of remorse. Grief edged on his voice.

"Fine…." She growled, the young man took a few hesitant steps backward and disappeared into the slew of people. She turned in a huff, metaphorical storm clouds hovering over her head. Then with out skipping a beat she spotted the un-bandana-ed duo and trotted over. "LEAPERS!" she squealed happily as she attacked the creatures with pets and affection.

The thoughts of all three where plastered on their faces; Daxter's mouth hung open, Jak cocked an eyebrow, and Clue alternately stared up at the sky and then at his TO ERUKA!" Clue shouted at her losing his patience.

"Hmmm…what?" she stopped petting Choco and looked up, "oh you…."

Jak just stared at her, "Clue….?"

Clue groaned, "this is Eruka…."

"Wait wait he's getting to the good part," she said excitedly, interrupting him. It earned her a glare.

"She's the leader of the Leaper Children …" he trailed of, making it sound like an unforgivable sin.

Eruka slapped him over the back in a near friendly way. "Its not that bad, Now…What can I do ya for?" she asked almost sounding sane.

"Just need to use your doors," he pointed at the said opening. She nodded.

"NEKO!" she hollered, the whole garage went silent, a small scruffy lilac haired boy was pushed forward, "there you are!" she exclaimed happily throwing an arm around his shoulder.

The garage returned to its activities.

"Um… you rang?" the young boy asked a little nervously. Jak recognized him right away.

"I need some assistance… and since you are my assistant you are just the man for the job!" Clue smirked as he watched the boy's face darken.

"Now go open up those big doors I owe this guy some favors!" she smacked him on the back, sending him in the right direction. The boy hesitated, "Quick before he kills all of us," she hopped up and down a little for emphasis.

Clue leaned over toward Jak, "don't worry, she's always like this," Jak gave him the You-have-got-to-be-shiting-me look.

"LAADY!" Daxter pronounced, "You're crazy."

The spiky haired gang leader ignored him and continued to croon over Jak's leaper, "what are these bad men and their annoying talking rodent possibly be going to do with you in that big dry brown dusty desert! You're just so cute! I wonder what your name is…"

"Vicious," Dax said with malice.

Jak and Clue simultaneously rolled their eyes.

Jak watched with relief as the doors slowly cranked open. "This women is beyond crazy…" he said bitterly.

"You got that right." Dax told him as he jumped from the leaper saddle to his friend shoulder.

"Oh I know I'll name you!" the woman cried, "I dub you…. Cacti!" she blapped it on the snout purposefully with two fingers, " Just don't run into any, they hurt…" she whispered the last part, half to herself.

"Oh Mar, smite her…please…" Jak grumbled to himself. Clue snorted as if his words held some kind of private joke in them.

He stupidity of the woman amazed Jak. How could she possibly run an operation like this, He wondered who was really in charge there.

"You are free to roam about the desert!" she waved wildly at the pair in attempts to shoo them out the gate, "Now shoo I have things to do!"

"Quick, lets leave while we still can!" Dax said sounding a bit frantic.

"NEKO?" she screamed, the boy seemed to magically appear. "We're going to need to more men, make that six more men down in the market sector, the last two where caught. Tylo forces will be crawling all over the place; we'll take them from the east as a distraction. The others can come up from the south. Get some leapers ready we'll be leaving in an hour, oh while you're at it round up some volunteers." She barked orders out at her young assistant like a professional.

Jak stared at her.

Clue took the reins to his leaper and led it toward the door, "Don't let it bother you…"

"Yeah…Bi polar…" Jak looked at his orange friend as he muttered this. The otsel nodded in complete agreement.

"Hot chicks..." he tapped a fuzzy finger to his head knowingly, "mental disorders."
