I don't own Jak and Daxter still. Only my own character. *sighs before grinning* Enjoy!
We all went back to The Underground's HQ when we were done. I stood there between Jak and Torn, watching Daxter walk over to the water pipe.
"Woo! Being a biiig hero sure makes ya thirsty," he said, pulling the lever. It rumbled a bit and Torn smirked a little.
Brown mud came out of the pipe right into Daxter's open mouth and I made a look of disgust sticking my tongue out while Dax coughed and whipped the mud off of his tongue. I really…reaaallly wasn't sure if that was all mud but I wasn't going to say that outloud.
Dax glared at Torn as he started talking, "The Baron turned off all water to The Slums. He's willing to sacrifice innocent lives, just to destroy The Underground." Torn turned to look at me and Jak.
"I shouldn't be surprised. I've seen his evil before," He looked at me. " While serving in the Krimzon Guard. That's why I quit."
Jak blinked surprised, "You were a Krimzon Guard? Heh, oh, that explains your charming sense of humor…." I held back a laugh at Jak's sarcasm. Man that just never got old.
"Also explains why he sold me out to Praxis, huh?" I asked, looking at Jak with a small smirk.
Jak shrugged nodding, "Sums up that story."
Torn rolled his eyes before continuing on.
"My friend in the guard tells me the valve to turn the water back on is located outside the city. At the pumping station." Jak blinked confused.
"Outside the city? What about the security walls?" Daxter interrupted him.
"What about the Metal Heads? It ain't a petting zoo out there!" I looked at him and he nodded crossing his arms, "Peeps be getting deep sixed!" I laughed purely at how white that really sounded and Torn just looked at Jak.
"Find the large drain pipe in the north wall. It'll take you outside the city to the pumping station. Get to the main valve and open it," he explained crossing his arms.
I rolled my eyes, 'Here comes the cockiness.'
As if he read my mind Torn smirked at me slowly.
"If you survive, The Slums will be indebted to you. If you don't….maybe we'll have a touching moment of silence in your honor," he said in mock thinking.
"I'd like to give him a touching moment," Daxter mumbled. I shook my head.
"There is no way in hell that I'm gonna go out where Metal Heads are just waiting for dinner," I stated, crossing my arms and looking at Jak. Jak smirked at me.
"Well then you can just stay here with Torn while Dax and I go," he said, walking up the stairs. I looked between Torn and Jak before running after him.
"Wait for me!"
We landed next to a dock on the dirty Slum water and I looked at the large drain pipe as it started opening.
"I think this is it," I muttered, looking back at Jak. Daxter crawled up on my shoulder as we walked through. Because it was late at night, the darkness made everything look freaky. Well freakier then it already was. My green eyes landed on four Metal Heads up in front of us and I instantly bitched.
"Oh yay. I just can't wait to start fighting those things," I muttered, pulling out my knife. Jak chuckled at me and we went at destroying the Metal Heads.
The yellow skull gems fell out of their skulls when they died and flew over to Jak. I put my knife in its holder on my let and got in Jak's face.
"Why the hell do you get everything?" Daxter grinned and Jak smiled sheepishly. I rolled my eyes and we went on the platform that was moving. I jumped off at the top and destroyed the little green monsters that were snapping at me and then I turned to see Jak coming up the same way I did.
"Slow down, Ki! There's no need to destroy all the monsters! Then where's the fun in it for Jak?" Daxter asked jumping down and crossing his arms. Jak shook his head walking past us while I grinned, looking at Daxter, before running after Jak.
We finally got to the valve and Daxter walked up to it, rubbing his hands together.
"Ah. The valve." He looked at Jak and me holding up a hand, "Allow me."
We both looked at each other as Daxter struggled to just turn the valve only a little. I smiled and Jak leaned on the pipe before he banged his fist on the side.
The valve spun around activating the pipes system and it opened up. We both when Daxter got sucked up inside the pipes. I followed the noises along the bangs of the small pipe lines, the Ottsel hitting them harder and harder each time.
I began laughing suddenly and Jak shook his head, rubbing his temple when Dax got all the way to the end of it, stuck.
"Jak, Kida help. Guys help please,…" Daxter wheezed from inside the pipe.
Jak turned the lever and Daxter flew out of it. I leaned over Daxter with a smile my hair falling over my shoulders and Jak kneeled down next to me.
Jak opened him mouth to say something but Daxter held up a hand.
"Don't say it. Don't even chuckle." He sat up glaring at us, "Next time you turn the valve."
I giggled and picked him up as we headed back to HQ.
"Why do we have to go back there again?" I whined on the way there. Jak looked at me smirking.
"I could take you back home if you want," he said.
I looked at him with an eyebrow raised before sighing, "No. Let's report back in so that we can be done. Then we can go home..." Jak nodded satisfied with the solution I made up. The rest of the way there Jak was silent and he seemed to be deep in thought. I looked at him for a moment before looking back at the city.
'I wonder what goes on in that hard head of his,' I thought, sinking in my chair some. It wasn't long we pulled up to the alley and Jak parked at the end of it. I jumped out as Daxter woke up stretching and looked up at me.
"You're great to sleep on. Very comfy lap." I blinked slightly at his random comment and watched as he walked towards the door to HQ.
"O-Okay then..?" I was quite unsure of what to reply to that. Jak just walked up next to me.
"He's really loopy when he's tired," he explained to me. I smiled nodding.
"Or drunk," I added looking at him. Jak raised an eyebrow.
"Drunk?" I nodded smiling while crossing my arms.
"He's quite….interesting, I suppose is the correct word, when he's drunk. He says the strangest things really," I explained, walking to the door. Jak just blinked before shaking his head.
"I can't even imagine," he mumbled. I sighed.
"Me either. And I was there," I agreed quite shocked. Jak chuckled, walking into The Underground doors. He trailed his hand on the wall, walking slowly. Daxter looked at me for a moment and I smiled at him. Torn was pacing back and forth with a big smirk on his face.
"The Slums water is back on. I'd love to see the heads roll when The Baron finds out," he stated looking at the map on his desk.
I rolled my eyes standing next to Jak while said male frowned.
"Yeah. I'm sure he's losing lots of sleep over this armpit of the city. We've done what you've asked, now when do we get to see The Shadow?" Jak demanded. I hit him in the arm slightly.
"What?" he asked, looking at me. I rolled my eyed frowning.
"You need some sleep. You're cranky as hell," I muttered. Jak just crossed his arms turning away from me to Torn.
Torn looked over at both of us, "You'll see The Shadow when I say so…if I say so. But before I even think about it. I want you to take care of an ammo dump we've seen in the fortress. Lot's of Krimzon Guards, constant patrols." He looked at Jak and then me, "We know it's vulnerable and The Underground needs you two to blow up all the ammo inside."
Torn turned to Daxter, whom he had just hit in the face when he had said said the word 'all'.
"Get all of it, and we'll deal a body blow to The Baron." I yawned tiredly and Daxter got up from the table, dusting himself off.
"You're sending us in tough guy. So what's with this, wheel deal of body blow stuff?" Daxter exclaimed looking at me.
I shrugged starting to fall asleep just standing there while Jak shook his head smirking.
"That's fine. I want The Baron to know that it's me who's hurting him," he said slamming his fist on the table. I jumped a bit at the loud noise and was awake. Torn looked at me before looking back at Jak.
"You do this last thing and report back to me. Then you guys can go home and come back tomorrow. Looks like Little Miss Snappy over there is running out of fuel," Torn said, motioning over to me.
I glared at him, "You know what Torn-….! Ah forget it. I'll get back to it tomorrow," I mumbled, closing my eyes.
Jak and Torn stared at me in amazement blinking twice before looking at each other. Jak nodded.
"Defiantly out of energy," he stated. He walked towards me and guided me towards the stairs. I looked at Jak and smiled.
"Well let's get this done shall we," I said, walking forward. Daxter jumped on my shoulder when we were out of The Underground and back in the dark ally.
"Listen Ki, I think you need rest. The last time you slept was last week!" he said loudly. I blinked and rubbed my ear gently.
"Dax please, don't yell. You're sitting right next to my ear," I explained to him. Jak crossed his arms as we walked over to the Zoomer.
"Why haven't you slept since last week?" he asked, hopping in the driver's seat. I jumped in on the other side, shaking my head. Daxter rolled his eyes.
"She was worried about you, Jak. We were so close to getting you out of there. She worked day and night to get as much information as possible on the Krimzon Guard Fortress that you were held at. It's amazing one girl can do so much in such little time," he said looking at me.
I looked away from Jak so that he couldn't see my face and he started the Zoomer. I felt us lift into the sky as we started for the fortress. It was quiet and Jak stayed deep in thought the whole way there just like before. I didn't comment but I couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking.
When we got to the fortress Daxter jumped from my shoulder to Jak's. We walked in and there was this huge security tank just chillin' there like it was nothing. It…was amazing. The wheels had killer spikes all around it, the giant tank obviously able to smash anything at any time.
"Whoa," I said going up to it. I was about to touch the spikes when Jak yelled at me.
"Kida!" I jumped, snapping my attention to him.
"Don't…touch it," he warned. I pulled my hand back and laughed nervously rubbing the back of my head.
"I-I wasn't gonna," I mumbled, rocking on my heals. Jak just rolled his eyes.
"Sometimes you're worse than Dax," he commented, walking past me into the door on the left. I opened my mouth to reply but shut it when an alarm went off.
"Unauthorized use of fortress door. Activating security tank." I whipped my head behind me as the tank turned towards us with this huge red target pointed to us.
"Target locked,"a female robot voice said. I went wide eyed at the same time Jak did and we did exactly what Daxter yelled.
"RUN!"
We ran out of the red target as bullets shot from the tank, hitting the exact spot it was locked onto. I screamed shortly as the bullet nearly hit my foot and we jumped from platform to platform until we got to a hallways full of laser motion censored guns. I groaned stopping.
"What the hell is up with this place?" I yelled, looking at Jak. He just smirked, shrugging at me. The tank busted through the gate wall and kept shooting at us. I tried to avoid the lasers as much as possible, I really did…but it just didn't work out. The guns along the walls started shooting at us as well as the tank.
"Kida!" I blocked my head still running and looked at Jak quickly.
"I'm sorry!" I yelled with my eyes shut tight. We got to the end of the hallway and saw there was a dead end causing panic to rise. I quickly looked around and my green eyes landed on a flag pole sticking out of the wall. I trailed up and saw there was a platform on the ceiling.
That was our exit.
I ran over to a huge box under it and climbed on top of it.
"Kida, get down!" Jak yelled, looking behind him for the tank.
I looked down at him and nodded, "Come on, Jak!"
I jumped and grabbed the pole with both hands just as the tank came through the wall at us. Spinning around twice I used momentum before flipping and landing on the platform above it.
I turned around to see Jak doing the same and by the time he landed above on the platform he was glaring at me.
"What?" I asked, shrugging.
"You're going to get yourself killed!" Daxter yelled for him. I shook my head and followed Jak as he jumped and ran through the vent opening.
"Don't you trust me at all, Dax? You know I always do stuff like that!" I said, grinning at him.
He jumped off Jak's shoulder so he was standing in front of me, "Yeah! That's why I said it!" I rolled my eyes as we landed on the ground again in a different hall. It didn't take us long to walk on before we got to another door and walked into the ammo room. I looked looked at all the ammo, my curiousness only rising.
"So we're getting rid of these things? How are we supposed to get rid of all of it?" I turned and saw a pass lying on an ammo tank, "Jak, look!"
Picking it up I handed it to him easily and Daxter looked up at it.
"Cool! That's a security pass. We need those to get through city checkpoints." Jak looked at me and I nodded calmly, folding my arms.
Suddenly there was this loud bang and I froze instantly, holding my hands up defensively.
"Ididn'tdoit."
Jak shushed me and I pressed my lips together following him as we all leaned over the large vent on the ground. I blinked seeing two KGs were down there with two Metal Heads and barrels of Eco.
"These barrels are the latest shipment of Eco. The Baron says take them and get out," one of the Krimzon Guards said. The Metal Heads started acting up and the KG put up their guns. I looked at Jak quickly, clearly confused.
"Metal Heads in the city?" I whispered. Jak looked at me just as confused.
"Why are the guards giving them Eco?" he asked quietly. My head lifted when a noise sounded from in front of us and I stopped. Rising to my feet slowly as a different tank turned its guns toward me I breathed, "J-Jak?"
The blonde stood when the red target landed on us again and I felt Dax on my shoulder, all three of us holding our breath. When the tank shot and Jak and I jumped in separate directions. I ran towards the middle where the bigger ammo barrels were just as the tank turned and shot again. I ducked at the last moment and the bullet hit the ammo tank behind me causing it to blow up.
I skidded to a stop in mid run and stared before grinning. Quickly I ran over to another ammo barrel and turned towards the tank, watching as it locked onto me with its bright red target. But this time..I didn't move.
"Kida! Move your ass!" I ignored Jak's words just as the tank shot and I jumped out of the way of the bullets at the last second and I landed hard next to Jak and he yelled at me. I rolled my eyes before the target landed on us.
"Jak, if they aim at us and we move at the last moment then it hits the tanks!" I yelled, pushing him out of the way. I stood in front of the last one and waited. I jumped out of the way and landed next to Jak before an alarm started sounding.
"Time to go!" I squeaked. I grabbed Jak's hand and started for the open vent leading to outside.
Everything blew up as we started to jump out. Daxter and Jak hit some pole before falling to the ground. Jak landed on his back and I fell on top of him on my stomach and groaned.
"Why is it I can never land right?" I mumbled. Jak sat up as Daxter popped out from under him.
"This place has too much excitement. We need to move back to the country," Dax said from under us. Jak and I just grinned at him.
We walked into The Underground doors and Daxter jumped on the table. Torn had his back to us and was playing with his knife.
Daxter grinned, "The demolition trio has returned! One barbequed ammo dump! Served up hot!"
Torn rolled his eyes shaking his head and Jak chose to ignore Dax.
"We saw something odd while torching that ammo. The Barons guards were giving barrels of Eco…to a group of Metal Heads," he said still shocked. I nodded putting a hand on my hip.
"If you ask me, Torn, I'd say that this has been going on for a while," I said seriously.
Torn turned around smirking, "Really? The Shadow will be very interested to hear that."
Daxter rolled his eyes, "Ya know so far, your gigs have been easier than stealing grass from a sleeping yakcow."
I facepalmed as Jak put his head down rolling his eyes. Torn smirked.
"You guys wanna start proving yourselves?" I shook my head.
"No! We can do that tomorrow! I'm goin' home!" I yelled leaving. Everyone stared at my back and Torn sighed.
"Go with her. She'll get hurt at this time of night. Make sure you come back tomorrow," he said looking at Jak. Jak nodded and Daxter jumped on his shoulder before running up the stairs. I walked outside and started leaving to find a different and faster Zoomer.
I walked out of the alley and passed some people before heading for a two seated Zoomer. It was faster than the last on we'd taken. I hopped in the driver's side and started going up before the right side of the Zoomer tipped throwing it off balance. Jak hopped in looking at me with a frown.
"You shouldn't have walked out like that," he said quietly. I rolled my eyes starting for the house.
"Yeah well I didn't want to get stuck on another damn mission. I want to go home and rest," I said looking at him. He was staring at me and I turned away sighing, "Now that I know you're safe it should be easier that way."
Daxter fell asleep on Jak's shoulder when we got about half way there and I rolled my eyes before smiling some, looking at Jak.
"You know he hasn't really slept that well either Jak," I said. Jak glanced at Daxter.
"Really? I'd beg to differ," he muttered. I laughed quietly landing in front of the house.
"Seriously, Jak. You should have seen him these past two years. He was working his ass off to save you. He's a pretty loyal friend if you ask me," I said smiling at Daxter.
Jak nodded smiling a bit as I unlocked the door to our house. I turned the light on and locked the door behind Jak. I took my shoes off along my socks so that I was bare foot and let my feet touch the soft carpet. I sighed, shutting my eyes slightly. Jak took Daxter to their room and laid him on the bed before walking back into the living room.
He sat down on the couch and took his shoes off. He took off his gun holder from around his shoulders and put them both in the living room closet. I sat down on the couch and Jak plopped down next to me. I let my head fall on the couch cushions behind me and shut my eyes.
"I'm so tired," I mumbled quietly. Jak was quiet too.
"It's been a long day," he said. I opened my eyes smiling.
"Yeah. At least we got our objective done for today," I said, getting to my feet and going for my room.
"What was your objective?" Jak questioned, stopping me in my tracks. I stood there for a moment before smiling and looking at him.
"To get you back with us, Jak," I said softly before going to my room. Jak sat there for a moment before nodding with a smile.
"Yeah. I think I will Dax," he said, quietly before getting up and going to his room.
"Don't go, Sig!"An boy older looked back.
"Take care of yourself, Kida," he said walking away. I dropped to my knees crying. I sat there…waiting..still crying…when a younger Keira and Jak found me.
"What's wrong?" she cried looking at me. I cried loudly.
"I'm all alone now!" The girl hugged me.
"No you're not. I'm Keira! This is Jak." She helped me to my feet, "We'll be bestfriends," she said happily. I nodded a bit looking over my shoulder where Sig disappeared before turning back to her.
"I'm Kida. Let's be friends…" I said quietly.
I opened my eyes slowly and blinked a few times as the sun rays hit my face. I looked around and got up. I went into the bathroom and brushed my teeth and my hair. My bangs framed my face like usual and my black hair flowed over my shoulders smoothly.
'I look less tired then I did yesterday,' I thought smiling slightly.
I walked out into the living room and went into the kitchen. I got in the fridge and leaned over so I could get the orange juice when I heard a crash from behind me. I jumped slamming the fridge shut in the process and saw Jak standing there staring at me with wide eyes and a shattered glass on the floor. I put a hand on my chest.
"Jak. You scared the shit out of me," I said taking a deep breath. Daxter walked into the kitchen and looked at Jak and then me.
"What's up with him?" he asked me jumping on Jak's shoulders and waving a hand in front of his face.
I shrugged.
"I don't know. He just dropped his glass and started staring at me," I said looking at Jak. Dax looked at me and then smirked jumping down and landing in front of Jak.
"He's just checking out the view! Aren't ya Jak?" he said grinning at me. I looked at Daxter confused before looking at what I was wearing.
I was wearing some short plaid shorts and a long white shirt that covered them making it look like I wasn't wearing anything underneath. I blinked at myself before looking back at Jak and blushed a deep shade of red.
"I-I'm gonna go get dressed!" I squeaked, running to my room. Jak blinked shaking his head some and watched me run to my room.
"It's getting hard to wait Dax," he said, looking down at the talking Ottsel. Daxter grinned up at him.
"That's your fault, Jak my man," he said, walking back to the living room and plopping on the couch.
I ran into my room shutting the door behind me and started getting my outfit.
I slipped on my black capris and pulled the white tank top over my head. I put the first belt on loosely and then put the second one on pulling the suspenders over my shoulders. I put my goggles in my hair and then pulled my gloves on, leaving the bandages behind.
I found some short socks and pulled them on after tying black bands around the bottom of my capris. I pulled my necklace off of my night stand and then walked out my door into the living room.
I put the necklace on and grinned at Jak and Daxter who were sitting on the couch.
"You still have that?" Jak asked slightly surprised. I blinked fiddling with the shark tooth.
"Yeah. It's important to me," I said, going over and pulling on my short black boots. I stood up putting a hand on my hip and shifting my weight to one leg.
"Ready to go?" I asked them smirking. Jak stood up and Daxter jumped on my shoulder.
"You're better today, Ki!" Daxter grinned, winking at me. I rolled my eyes smiling.
"I had a good sleep. Finally!" I said grinning and jumping around the empty area. Jak stood next to me as we walked towards The Underground's HQ.
"You're…different today," he said looking at me. I blinked at him.
"Really. I don't feel different. I mean, I feel better. But that's it," I said looking around for a Zoomer somewhere close by. Jak shook his head smiling some.
"No, you're happier," he said crossing his arms. I grinned at him before running over to two one seated Zoomers. I looked at Jak with a wicked grin.
"Wanna race me, Jak?" I asked, jumping on the green one. Jak looked at me for a moment before smirking.
"You're on."
Daxter sat on Jaks shoulder and got ready, "Ready, Set, RACE!"
I zoomed off with Jak very close behind me. It wasn't that long before we would get to The Underground so I decided to take some shortcuts and Jak went the normal way. I giggled as I went left and avoided other Zoomer.
It was the fact I saw a whole bunch of Krimzon Guards and Metal Heads gathering in one place that made me slow down and I blinked. Slowly I hid behind the corner, slipping off the Zoomer quietly.
'Jaks gonna win this one,' I thought, hiding behind the wall so I could hear what they were saying.
"The Baron says the Eco is running low," one of the Krimzon Guards said. The Metal Head started almost yelling- well more like growling but same difference. The Guards held up their guns and another KG started talking again.
"Keep attacking the city for a bit longer and we will have the next shipment in two days," he yelled aiming.
One of the Guards motioned the other one, "Soon we'll get the worrier from the Dark Worrier Program. So don't try anything," he said looking at the Metal Heads. I covered my mouth, tears forming.
'Jak! He's the Dark Worrier. I got to tell him and Torn!'
The Metal Heads backed off before looking over at where I was hiding as if they smelled my fear and I froze as every Krimzon Guard turned their head and looked directly at me.
"Way to be covert," I muttered quickly.
"Get her!"
"Don't let her get away!" It wasn't long before they started shooting at me and I went wide eyed, turning and jumping right back on my Zoomer. I hovered high into the air on the one seater as some of the KG tried shocking me with their Spear Tazers but it didn't happen.
Shots rang out as I started to zoom off to the Underground and a sting went through my leg causing me to look down quickly seeing they grazed me. Looking over my shoulder I saw five KG Zoomers coming at me fast as well as two Hellcat Cruisers and I hissed, looking at my leg before looking in front of me again and going through the southern part of Haven City.
Unfortunately that was the busiest part of Haven City and held more KG than any other part in the damn city.
I got fast enough and slammed on the breaks quickly, doing a u-turn to back and started going towards the ones chasing me. I couldn't risk dealing with more KG, not in a small Zoomer like the one I was on. They seemed to be surprised that I turned right to them and I quickly went on the lower level of hovering going right under them.
I looked over my shoulder at them heading towards HQ the longer way with a huff. Shots from one of the KG Zoomers grazed my arms a couple of times making them bleed but I didn't stop. I swerved around people walking before going to the higher level, switching constantly from high to low, left to right, all the while trying to avoid bystanders.
A few minutes later I lost about all of the KG Zoomers and had only two coming after me now. I looked up and saw the alley where The Underground was and could see Jak's Zoomer was already there there.
I turned around quickly with the thought that if I went there I'd be leading them straight to HQ and the location of Jak.
One of the Zoomer Bikes were closer than I thought and I didn't have time to react as my Zoomer hit it straight on. Both of the vehicles blew up instantly in a loud explosion sending me flying backwards and I felt piece of the Zoomer hit me in the crown of my head making me bleed upon contact.
When I finally hit the ground my body bounced a few times before I finally stopped. I got up dizzily and shook my head, getting up and running quickly for The Underground before the remaining KG could catch me.
To say I was a bit dysfunctional was an understatement considering I couldn't see and I was dizzy of hell. But I ran through doors anyways, holding my bleeding head as blood started getting in my eye. Suddenly I irrupted in hard coughs trying to get the smoke from the explosion out of my lungs and the doors opened. The room was spinning and I could barely see, but I was alive.
When the door at the bottom of the stairs opened Jak, Torn, and Daxter all turned to me and their eyes went wide. I leaned on the doorframe and coughed again not really catching the fact Jak ran up to me until he was touching my face softly.
"What the hell happened to you!" he yelled, looking me over. I shook my head quickly moving his hand and looked at him crying from the pain and the fear bubbling in the pit of my stomach.
"I-I ran into guards! A-A lot of guards! And they chased me because I heard to much-" Jak looked at my head.
"You need to get that head wound fixed. You're losing a lot of blood!" he said putting a hand on my head. I shook my head looking at him.
"You gotta listen to me, Jak! The guard's are gonna start letting them in the city! There gonna kill everyone! The Metal Heads, Jak!"
Torn and Jak looked at me with obvious attention now as I nearly yelled Praxis' plans at them and I nodded quickly, "There gonna attack everyone because Praxis is running out of Eco! They're coming after you to take you away again so that they can use you to take them all out! You can't let them take you from me again!"
Jak put his hands on either side of my face trying to calm me down, "It's ok. It's alright calm down. I'm right here," he soothed. Torn sighed looking back at the maps.
"When are they gonna get the next shipment?" he asked looking at me. I looked at Torn as Jak kept wiping blood off of my face by a towel he found.
"Two days they said," I mumbled averting my eyes away from Jak's worried ones to the very interesting floor.
"Two days then. I'll tell the Shadow," he said, pulling out some Green Eco.
"Put that on her, Jak," he said, handing it to him. Jak put some on my head and then my arms and I started feeling better. I leaned over pulling up my pant leg and he put some there too. I laughed a little, my mind focusing back again and I shook my head.
"They grazed my leg when I was running. They just got lucky," I said walking over to the table where Daxter was. He put his hands on his hips.
"Really? And what's the burns from you arms from?" Dax asked raising an orange furry eye brow. I laughed nervously rubbing my arms.
"They shot me," I said simply. Jak sighed.
"And your head?" Daxter asked. I blinked going over to the water valve to wash off the remaining blood from my face.
"The Zoomer blew up and a piece hit me in my face." Torn laughed a bit.
"That sounds like you, Little Miss Snappy," he muttered. I turned around putting my hands on my hips.
"Hey! I haven't even snapped out on anyone, Torn!" I exclaimed drying off my face. I looked normal again.
"There I feel better. I just…" I trailed off to look at Jak.
He looked at me and got a very serious expression, "I promise you, they will not be taking me away again."
I nodded softly but had doubt and fear written all over my face. Daxter decided to lighten the mood.
"So when are we gonna prove that we're stronger than we look, tattooed monkey?" he asked getting in his face. I busted out laughing at the nickname Daxter just gave him and Jak put a hand over his mouth to cover his up. Torn grabbed Daxter by the back of his neck and growled before smirking.
"Fine." He turned to Jak and me. I got a hold of my laughing and coughed playing it off looking away and Torn leaned over the desk to us.
"One of our…suppliers needs his payment delivered. A bag of Eco Ore. Take the Zoomer parked out back and take it to the Hip Hog Heaven saloon in south town." I held up my hands.
"I was just there. Getting chased by guards!" I yelled franticly.
Torn smirked, "Guess you better watch your ass then." I tsked and he looked at Jak again, "Ask for Krew. He'll be there. And don't let The Baron's patrols..stop you." I rolled my eyes crossing my arms under my chest.
"Easier said than done, dude," I muttered. He ignored me.
"By the way, when you get there, pump Krew for information. He's wired into the city, and may know what The Baron is up to." Torn turned his back to us and looked at the pictures on the walls.
Daxter put his hands on his hips, "You..can count..on us."
Torn crossed his arms, "Are you still here?"
Torn Torn Torn...hmmm...anywho! Please review review review! (:
