Chapter 17 Ready, Set, Shop!
A bold headed man sat at a table looking over next weeks coarse for the drivers. This Jak person was pissing him off he needed a way to make him forfeit. He had thought of the little orange rodent that was always with him but that didn't seem like it was enough. Some one in the room cleared their throaty.
"You wanted to see me?" The voice asked.
"Yes, yes I did and I have some questions for you," the man chortled evilly "What would you like to know Mizo?" The other inquired.
"You have spoken to the racer named Jak?" The first question he asked.
"A few times, yes he is rather... cautious," he replied.
"Tell me Razor, his mechanic what is she like?"
"She is rather put off by Jak for some reason, she is quite the looker. Jak cares for her yes." Razor confirmed.
"You see I'm at a dilemma with what to do, he is bringing in good ratings however I want to make things... more interesting, some sort of collateral, something to make him squirm every time he thinks," Mizo explained to Razor.
"I do know one thing hurting him wont matter, hurting the ones close to him will though, it just depends on how much you want him to suffer." Razor explained. Mizo rubbed his chin.
"If I get rid of his mechanic, not only will he not be able to get repairs on his car but also he will be frantic to find the one he loves." He cackled evilly. Razor thought for a moment the realized something.
"If you really want to have him frantic and hugely distracted from everything why not take his daughter, Jaklin?" Razor said to him Mizo stopped laughing and looked at Razor with pure evil in his eye.
"If I did that I would have him in the palm of my hand he would do what ever I said, he would have to if he didn't want me to hurt his kid, Razor bring me that kid!" Mizo exclaimed with excitement. Razor nodded his head and left Mizo's office cackling like a mad man.
- Jak walked around, the room was dimly lit and just in front of him he could see the back of Jaklin's blonde head. She turned around and laughed then ran around the room. When he went to chase after her he fell over a chair, the more he looked at this place the more be began to notice that it was the Bloody Hook.
"Jaklin" he called out to her fear began to build in his chest.
"Daddy," she called to him but it seemed so far away.
"Jaklin baby, come back to daddy," fear showing in his voice. As he walked around the bar looking for her he bumped into Keira who started talking to him but got angry when he walked away. She grabbed him and he pulled away from her as he kept looking for Jaklin.
"Jaklin, please!" He pleaded.
"daddy," there was fear in her voice when she called for him.
"Would you ignore that brat she's not even really yours some one made it look like she was your most likely the precoursers," Keira said from behind him. All Jak could do for the moment was stair at her. He could not believe that she just said that to him like that. Had Keira really hated his daughter this whole time?
"DADDY!" Jaklin screamed. Jak's heart jumped into his throaty as he ran from Keira who threw something at him. He started looking every where for her but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't find her until Daxter walked up to him with an envelope.
'You'll do as I tell you or the little brat will slowly be tortured to death.' Jak read and that was the last straw. Jak dropped to his knees and slammed his fists onto the floor.
"JAKLIN!" he cried out.
Jak suddenly sat up gasping for air, he looked wildly around the room until his eyes landed on Jaklin who was still sound asleep. Jak stumbled into the bathroom and looked into the mirror. Tears were streaming down his face, panic was still high and he didn't quite know how to handle it but his body decided to do what it thought was best. Jak soon found himself face to face with the porcelain goddess.
After his small vomit fest Jak stood up and washed his face, he sighed heavily and looked in the mirror again. He could see his dark side in a protective stance while still slightly panicked his light side really didn't know how to cope. His darkness looked at him, his eyes were no longer black but blood red. All Jak could do was nodded his head to his darkness if anyone hurt her he was going to kill them.
'You need to find out if the part about Keira is true or not. If it is it may cause a problem later on and I know for a fact that she didn't get rid of the neutralizing shit she just moved it in a different location.' His darkness said.
'Oh please don't tell me that she aims to use it on her!' His light side said in panic causing the other two to start to panic again. Nothing and no one was trust worthy, not even Daxter. He had to keep his baby safe she was everything to him. What he hated most was the feeling of dread that he had in his heart knowing that in some way his dream may come true and with Jaklin still sick it would be easy for them to take her.
Jak raced back to his bed and glanced over Jaklin, she still had a fever but it wasn't as high as it was a few days ago. The fear was so great that he reached down and picked her up and hid in the corner holding her close to him. Once again tears started to stream down his face. Later Jak would be thankful that no one was awake to come in the room and see him in a moment of weakness and vulnerability.
Because of Jak's distress Jaklin woke up and whimpered a little at him wandering what was going on around her. Jak adjusted his position in the corner so Jaklin wouldn't feel scrunched up. One of his tears landed on her forehead and her tiny little eyebrows furrowed in concern for her father. She moved around so she could look at him better she put both of her tiny hands on Jak's face. To his surprise she used Eco to calm him down and regulate his breathing.
"Daddy k?" She asked making Jak smile.
"Yes I'm fine now thank you." he said making her smile. However the smile didn't last long as drained look crossed her face. Just then it hit him, all the Eco she had used that day and the fallowing days she was drained to a point to where it was bothering her and she could permanently damage her abilities .
"Baby no more Eco until you are better if you keep using it your not going to ever be able to use it again, and daddy doesn't want that, I want you to be able to protect your self until daddy can help you." he said to her, Jaklin looked at him for a moment and understood what he said even if Jak couldn't tell at the moment. Another thought crossed his mind suddenly, what if she had gotten into the neutralizer and this was one of the side effect before her body started to tare its self apart looking for Eco.
"Daddy" Jaklin called to him so that he would look at her, and he did.
"I wuv oo," she said to him making his heart melt in to a puddle of heart liquid stuff. He wrapped his arms around her tightly. Suddenly he realized that he has not ever once said those three words.
"I- I love you too, Jaklin," he said never in his life that he could remember has he ever been this happy. If only he wasn't poisoned and they were at home things were easier. He knew that he wasn't always going to be there to protect her but maybe he could start teaching her now? She already knows how to do somethings it shouldn't be to hard to teach her. Not today though they were going clothe shopping to day.
Finally after an hour Jaklin fell asleep again and Jak was able to leave the corner and return to bed. No matter how hard Jak tried he couldn't get himself to fall asleep, he had far to many things to worry about, his daughter, the poison, the races, money. He laid there looking at the sealing he didn't know how long. At some point Jak did eventually fall asleep only to be plagued by nightmares.
Jak woke up early in the morning he could hear water running some where but he just didn't know were at. He moved his arm so that he could find Jaklin, he didn't find her though. At the realization that she wasn't there he sat up straight wild eyed. He noticed that the bathroom light was on and that the water sound was coming from there.
"Uh oh," came Jaklin's voice from within the room. Jak wandered what it was that she was doing in there so he took a peek and smiled. Jaklin was standing on the toilet looking in the bath tub that was over flowing with water all over the place. Jaklin stood there laughing at the rubber duckie. Jak opened the door to ask her what she was doing when she suddenly jumped into the bath tub.
"Jaklin!" Jak called out in fear, and just as he said that her little head popped up. Jak's eyes were wide he couldn't believe that she had done that. His heart was still slightly racing. Jaklin looked at him and laughed and then she threw the rubber duckie at him, Jak just raised his eyebrow at her. Jak picked up the duckie and walked up to the tub.
"Sorry kid you can't have the bathtub this full your getting water every where on the floor," Jak told her as he let out some of the water in the bathtub. Jaklin jumped around in the bath for a bit then looked at the soaps and tried to get the shampoo that daddy uses on her head. Jak watched her try to reach it he wandered why unless she wanted a bath?
"Let me get it down for you and I'll give you a bath," Jak said to Jaklin. Jaklin had other ideas though.
"No daddy, me, me do!" Jaklin whined to Jak. His heart sank a little bit at this but he knew that she couldn't stay a baby forever and he was going to be damned if he had to change another diaper! He knew it was time to encourage her to be herself and learn to grow. It was a good thing that he had chosen to teach her how to use her Eco abilities.
Jak reached up and grabbed the bottle the whole time Jaklin was whining and crying. Jak just sat there and looked at her, this had to be the first time he had ever seen her throw a fit like this before. He just sat there and looked at her with patience. Patience that he didn't even know he had. Finally Jaklin sat down in the bathtub and just looked at him, Jak realized that she had given up and he frowned.
"Hey, I don't think so young lady you want this come get it, you will not quit until you get it," Jak said with authority in his voice. Jaklin looked at him tiredly sending a small poke like message to him reminding him that he told her that she couldn't use Eco. Jak's frown deepened as he thought of how he was going to address this with out losing his cool.
"You don't always have to use Eco, if you only use on thing you will be weaker in others, so if you want this bottle come and get it because I know you can't because you use more Eco then your muscles and brain," he said to her with firmness in his voice. Jak realized that what he said had just pissed her off.
Jaklin got up and climbed over to Jak with a vicious look in her eye. Jak moved the bottle out of shampoo further out of her reach as she climbed on him to get it. Jak smirked his more evil smirk know that Jaklin was going to be just as good, no better than him. He stood up making sure that she didn't hit her head and stuck his tongue out at her. Jaklin's nose crinkled and she gave him a slight snarl as she started climbing up his leg.
Jak flinched as her tiny finger nails dug into his skin, he would have to remember to clip her nails after this. Jak gave her resistance when she reached his knee but she took his words to heart and wasn't going to give up it didn't take long for her to make it to his hip. A knew problem started, Jaklin's weight was causing his sleeping pants to fall down.
Jak used his other hand to hold up his pants while the other held the shampoo out of Jaklin's reach. Still she climbed grabbing the waist band of his boxers, using the waist band of his pants as a foothold. Now Jak was in a real pickle, Jaklin was going to get that bottle and if she had to climb all the way up to his head, however he wasn't wanting to lose his pants or boxer.
Jak lost his balance and stumbled against the wall, his arm with the shampoo was pinned behind his head while his other arm was holding his pants and boxers up. Jaklin had finally made it past his pants but how her foot was digging into his hip and pinching some of the skin in between her toes. She was at a cross roads what was she supposed to do know?
Jaklin looked over the areas she saw Jak's armpit and she smiled as she reached up and grabbed a hand full of the hair and pulled herself up. Jak growled out in pain and tried to grab her but his pants started to fall down again and he had to grab them all he could do was grind his teeth and endure the pain. Jak wasn't ready when Jaklin suddenly jumped and grabbed his hair on his head and used it to pull herself up.
Jak clutched his pants tightly so he wouldn't grab Jaklin roughly, this was his fault he had to remember this. He had to give it to her though she was fast, and soon enough she was literally sitting on his head and was grabbing at the bottle when she stopped.
"uh oh," she said and she started to whine.
"Jaklin I can't grab you baby your gonna have to climb..." Jak stopped and realized what it was that Jaklin was trying to tell him. He let go of his pants and grabbed Jaklin by her arm gently pulled her off of his head and sat her on the toilet so she could finish potting. Jak put the shampoo on the sink he was going to have to use it. It never fails for something like this to happen to him.
"Jaklin you have to tell daddy you have to potty so you don't potty on me," Jak said looking at Jaklin. All she could do was put her head down and cry. Jak knew that it was embarrassing for this, he knew that when she has accidents it makes her want to stay in diapers all the time. Jak looked at the shampoo bottle and had an idea.
"You want to wash daddy's hair?" he asked her, for a moment she sat there thinking and then realized that this would be a way to apologize for what she had done.
"Yay!" She cheered happily Jak smiled and closed the bathroom door while he changed into his swim shorts. When he came back in he saw Jaklin trying to reach the shower head by pulling on the hose. Jaklin did get the shower head but she got it right up side her head.
Jak flinched and waited for her to start whining but she didn't and it confused him. All Jaklin was doing was rubbing her head and looking at the shower head with mild irritation. She was all ready shrugging off pain this made Jak slightly happy. Now he just had to find away to teach her all of the other things that she needed to be taught. He shook his head, those thoughts could wait for later he had to get his hair washed and then get Jaklin ready to go shopping.
"You ready?" He asked her slightly afraid of how this was going to turn out.
"sit, sit, sit," she squealed at him. Jak sat down in the tub and let Jaklin start washing his hair. Jaklin put the shower head to Jak's but realized that there was no water coming out of it. She tipped her head trying to remember what it was that daddy had done to make the water come on. She did figure it out and did quite a good job with washing Jak's hair.
After all the washing and fun Jak got dressed and then dressed Jaklin in a pair of khaki colored pants and a purple shirt with a butterfly on it. Jaklin loved this shirt but sadly it was becoming to small for her, Jak knew that it was going to break her heart that he was going to have to throw it away. Jak picked up Jaklin and carried her out to the car, strapped her into her car-seat and set off to find a store.
It took Jak half an hour to find a store that sold baby clothes. After a struggle getting Jaklin out of the car-seat they walked into the store to see what they had. The store wasn't much to look at but it had a good selection of clothing , the out side of the building discourage anyone from coming in. Jak looked at Jaklin to see what she thought about the store, her tiny little mouth was wide open as she looked around at all of the things.
"Welcome to the Baby Emporium, we may not get a lot of costumers but we have a very good selection of clothing and toys," said the woman at the counter. Jak smiled at her and nodded his head.
"The reason you don't get many costumers is the fact that the store on the outside looks like crap," Jak said bluntly to the lady, she was slightly taken aback but his comment but then realized that he was correct and that she would have to do something about it when she got the money. She smiled and nodded her head in understanding . Jak started to look around the store to see if there was anything that would catch Jaklin's eye.
Sure enough something did catch her eye, it was kind of unusual for her to go for something like that but it was a pale purple dress with one little darker purple embroidered butterfly. Jaklin squealed and wiggled trying to get to the dress. Jak laughed and put her down so she could go and get it. Maybe he could just let her pick out her own close.
"Listen, Daddy's going to let you pick out your own clothes but you need to stay were I can see you," Jak said to his only child, the nightmare was still fresh in his mind. Jaklin ran to the front of the store and grabbed a cart indicating that he was going to need it with all the things she was going to pick out. Jak just laughed as she toddled off to look for things to put in it.
"she's cute how old is she?" Asked the owner of the store.
"You know I'm not quite sure, the doctor told me that she was three months old but I'm not sure that is true, yes she's little but she is to far advanced, but if the doctors are right then she would be about seven months." Jak said to her and she smiled.
"You are aware that I do know who you are I used to live in Haven, and if the roomers are true about what I have heard then it is most likely the Eco that helps her advance more quickly than other babies, and from my understanding and research she is the first and only daughter of the house of Mar." She said to him, he could tell that she was telling the truth but why had Kas told him that there had been another?
"I also found out threw some old texts that the precursors had a lot in shaping the way the world is now, it was apparent that Mar was going to stop them but then they cursed him to only have boys, and that any girl born to him would be killed," continued the woman. Jaklin came back with a pair of khaki colored pants and a dark blue colored shirt. Jak thought about what she had just told him.
"But why would they do that?" Jak asked in curiousness and slight fear.
"From what I read, the precursors didn't want to allow any of the Mars to have anything their sons would be taken from them to have the same fate as him, fathers have more of an attachment to their daughters, just like daughters have a strong connection to their fathers, something else was mentioned though," she paused to get a drink of water.
Jak looked for Jaklin but didn't see her, this made him uneasy, but no sooner had the feeling emerged she popped around the corner and called for him. He sighed with relief, he then noticed that there wasn't a lot of clothes in the cart and most of them were for hard playing, or in her case adventuring. The lady came back with two bottles of water and an old book.
"I have not looked at this but I was able to calculate that this is the journal of Mar I, so I give it back to you who rightfully owns it. The thing that they mentioned was the fact that a daughter of Mar can gain access to the Eco Heart I'm not quite sure what it is but my personal thought is that the girls would be to control it and use it for their own. I don't know what the Eco Heart dose or what it looks like but that was the one thing Mar I had set out to find." she said taking a deep breath then a drink of water.
Jak stood there and thought about what she had said, what was the Eco Heart exactly? How would it effect Jaklin, would she leave one day seeking or called by it? He looked at Jaklin and watched as she dropped in a pair of shoes and a pair of boots. Everything in the cart was practical nothing fancy but the dress. Jak smiled at her and she just sat there looking at him with some concern in her eyes. Jak tipped his head wandering what was wrong.
Jaklin sighed she knew that he didn't understand what it was that she was trying to tell him. She knew about his dream, she knew that it was also going to come true as well. All she really wanted was for him to teach her how to survive so that he wouldn't have to worry about here so much. Well now that she thought about it he was going to worry no matter what.
Jak furrowed his eyebrows at her wandering what it was that she wanted. He pressed at her mind trying to see if she would give him a hint at what she was trying to tell him. She did give him some feelings, wanting and something to do with the mind. Jak stood there milling over what it was that she wanted, did she want privacy? He got a no from her. Did she did she... he got a picture of a book then the feeling of the mind. He had noticed that there were numbers in the book like his math book.
Did she want to learn math? He got a yes and a no, the numbers were 'x'ed out. She wanted to learn but what was it that she wanted to learn. Some of his memories were pulled to the front of his mind. She wanted to learn from him everything that she could because of his dream! Then that meant that it was going to happen and she was going to need to know a lot of things, however something couldn't be taught she was going to have to experience them herself.
Jaklin smiled happily at him but yawned. Jak smiled and picked her up to his surprise the cart was full of clothes and some toys. Jak rolled his eyes and walked up to the check out counter. After Jak had convinced Jaklin that he had to put her down he started to put the clothes on the table. The lady came back for the back of the store and smiled at him.
"Will this be all for you?" she asked asked him, making Jak think for a moment.
"No, how much will it take to fix the exterior of this place?" He asked her.
"I-I don't know, I've never had anyone look at it before," she replied to him making him smile.
"Then I'll just leave this check with you so you can fix this place up and get more business," he said with a smile. The lady couldn't say a word when she looked at the check, Jak said good bye to the lady and walked out of the store with the bags and Jaklin in hand. On the way back Jaklin fell asleep but that didn't stop Jak from teaching her some things as she slept.
"Daddy?" Jaklin called for him just as he pulled into the garage. She yawned and stretched with a little smile on her face. Jak smiled when he saw her little smile. Jaklin had learned a lot from her dreams and hopped that she would be able to do the things that he had taught her. She didn't want to disappoint daddy because she was to scared or messed up. Jaklin lazily watched Jak pull all of the clothes out of the car.
Being the intelligent child that she was she undid her car-seat and hopped out of the car and grabbed two of the bags and pulled them do the door then she did it again until all the bags were at the door. Jaklin stood there thinking of how she was going to get the door opened when she realized that she could stand on the bags and open the door. Once she had the door opened she started to drag the clothes down the hall and to the door that was their apartment for the moment.
Jaklin kept doing this with the bags that were at the door not realizing that there was more than just those six bags. She tried the same thing with this door but it was locked and she couldn't get it opened. Just then a man with a red coat came down the hall and stopped in front of her. Jaklin looked up at him she didn't recognize this man so she went threw her fathers memories to see if he knew who this man was.
Jak felt Jaklin looking for something in his mind but didn't know what it was all she was looking for was the color red. Finally it stopped and landed on a man with a red coat and black hair, Razor, but why would she be... Jak suddenly looked in the car, she wasn't there. Panic spread in Jak as he looked around the garage for her but she wasn't there he did notice that the door was open and six of the bags were gone.
"Jaklin!" he called out to her. Jaklin turned her head and looked towards the garage door hearing her father's voice. If Razor was going to take her he needed to take her soon.
"Daddy!" She called to him showing him a memory of Razor. Razor slipped out of Jaklin's sight, he waited patently as she hopped off of the bags to see if he was coming.
"Jaklin come here now!" Jak demanded as fear was bubbling over causing him to shake. Razor knew the time was now, he reached over and grabbed Jaklin.
"DADDY!" She screamed as Razor put a cloth over her face. She tried to struggle but the more she did the heavier she had to breath. The last thing she saw was a small piece of Jak's jacket.
Jak flew around the corner only to see her little purple dress shoe lying
on the floor. He raced down the hall looking for her, he could faintly smell a cigarette and another smell that he couldn't identify. He looked behind every door and every apartment. He couldn't find her and he couldn't reach her mind, but all he could do was call for her. He called for her so much that he lost his voice.
The first people to come back were Ashlin and Torn. They found it quite odd that Jak's car was left wide open and all of the things that he bought was just sitting there out in the open. To be helpful to him they gathered everything up and brought it back to the apartment and put them inside. Jak came back and stumbled into the apartment.
"Jaklin?" he rasped out looking all over the place for her. Torn came out of his room and looked at Jak he was a mess.
"Jak whats wrong?" he asked knowing that Jak never freaks out.
"Gone... she's gone" Jak raspy voice cried, Torn's eyes widened Jak was it to much of an emotional wreck that he could barely see straight. Torn helped hims sit down and called for Ashlin they had to do something because he knew Jak wouldn't race until he had Jaklin back and that could be bad for all of them. Torn made called everyone back so they could help him look for Jaklin.
The moment Tess and Daxter got back they were both with Jak talking to him asking what information he had. They didn't get much out of him he was to distracted with the images he was getting from Jaklin he couldn't make since of them. Daxter could see that Jak was in distress but there was nothing that he could do for him. Dez sat there and cried though Teagan didn't cry he pouted, Cid wasn't sure what to do and Kendra was at a loss for the moment.
Keira began to play the consultative friend for Jak but he saw threw it but didn't say any thing about it just yet. He wasn't sure he could handle taking on Keira right now not with this going on. Even though he knew this was going to happen it didn't make the worry or pain lessen if anything it made it worse. The only two things he could do was pray that she was all right and that she was giving them hell. Jak hadn't realized what time it was when he looked around it was only Keira and him.
"Where is everyone?" He inquired making Keira look at him the sympathy in her eyes was fake and sickening to Jak.
"they all went to look for Jaklin," she replied to him with a sickly sweet voice. Jak looked at her for the moment a few questions popped into his head.
"If they are all looking for Jaklin why are you still here?" he questioned her. It took Keira a minute to think of an answer.
"some one needed to be here for the kids," she responded with a waver in her voice. Jak wasn't buying it he knew that she was up to something else.
"What are you really up to?" Jak demanded roughly.
"Just because I'm out of my mind doesn't mean that I still can't watch the other kids," Jak snapped in irritation knowing full well that Keira was once again trying to play head games with him, she had tried it once with Errol. Keira on the other hand was taken aback by his statement. She frowned at Jak not really knowing what to say.
"I thought since you were worried about Jaklin you didn't need to worry about the others children as well and that you weren't going to be able to think straight," she answered.
"Not able to think? Why do you think that, I dreamed about this happening..." Jak stopped for a moment and then realized just who it was that had taken Jaklin. Jak ran out of the room and ran into Torn, literally knocking him over. Jak stopped and helped him up off of the floor and waited for him to make sure he didn't lose anything.
"what the hell," Torn cried out.
"sorry! I know who took Jaklin!" Jak said as he rushed by him.
"who?" torn asked as he fallowed Jak.
"Razor, Jaklin was looking threw my memories to see if she couldn't find some one who wore a red coat," Jak informed torn.
"that bastard!" torn growled. Both Jak and Torn knew that they were not going to be able to find Razor until the next race and Jak had plans for him. They continued to look for him regardless, it didn't take long for either of them to get tired but all Jak could think about was finding Jaklin. Jak felt Jaklin pushing in his mind to rest there was nothing he could do now. Jak didn't want to hear it but he knew he was right and knew that soon he would get some kind of ransom note.
Jak and Torn went back to the apartment, Jak flopped into a chair and stared off into space to many things going threw his head to pay attention to what was going on around him. However something did catch his ear, it was Daxter and Keira yelling in a separate room about something. Jak got up with the intentions of finding out what it was that they were fighting about.
"You cant let Jak see that he cant take a lot right now," Keira said.
"bullshit! I will not hold information from Jak no matter how heart breaking it is," Daxter retorted angrily. Jak wasn't going to let it go any further he knew now that he could not trust the one woman that he had a crush on, maybe this is what Jaklin has been trying to tell him for a while now.
"what in the hell?" Jak snapped as he pushed the door open looking at both of them. Keira was hiding something behind her back she didn't want him to see the paper. Daxter snarled a little bit and jumped off of the table and snatched it from her hand so that Jak could look at it. Keira knew that she couldn't do anything to Daxter at the moment.
Daxter handed the piece of paper to Jak so that he could look at it but he just held it and looked at Keira with anger. How badly his darkness wanted to tear her apart for trying to hide something like this from him.
"how dare you try to hide something like this from me, you of all people should be trying to help me find my daughter its what I would do for you, or is it the fact that I would rather spend time with my child then go hang out with you, you don't even spend that much time with your own daughter I know there have been a few times that you have tried to come between her and I and it will never work and don't give me the bullshit that she isn't mine remember I have the DNA test that prove it!" Jak yelled at her drawing the attention of the other occupants of the apartment.
Tears streamed down his face as he watched Keira bite her lip and act like she was going to cry. Jak knew better though he lived with her long enough to know when she was faking and when she wasn't. Jak snarled at her as dark Eco danced over his skin.
"don't give me those bullshit tears I lived with you long enough to know when they are fake, and I'm going to tell you this now: I love my daughter MORE than I will ever love you, make sure you get that in your head now because I will not repeat it for you," Jak venomously growled at her. Keira left with real tears this time and he didn't give a damn.
Jak went to his room with Daxter in tow when he got there he sat down and wiped his tears away. Daxter's ears were back as he looked at his best friend with sadness. He just wished that there was something he could do for him. Daxter tried to say something to Jak but all he did was motion for him not to talk. Finally Jak looked at the piece of paper.
'do as I say and you will get her back at the end of the races in one piece,' signed M. Jak knew who it was that had his daughter now Razor was just a tool to get her, now he had no choice but to do what was told of him. He knew that just before the race he would get a note telling him what to do.
"i swear Mizo I will kill you myself," Jak said out loud.
