The search in Haven City begins

"Shhh! I'm Tess. Torn sent me to spy on Krew. Play along, and I may be able to get my hands on a few of Krew's secrets.”— Tess, Jak II


PoV: Jak

Location: Transport ship on the way to Haven

Accompanied by: Daxter and Sig


"You know, when you said you'll handle it, I didn't think you meant sneaking in a Eco transport ship!" Daxter yelled at Sig.

"Shut up Dax!" I shouted at him, making him sit down and mumble out a few insults.

"Listen Cheery, when I say I got this, I mean I got this." Sig said to him as he sat down on an Eco barrel.

I was to busy writing in precursor text "Barrels of shit" on the Eco barrels. Sig saw this and started laughing at it.

"What's the point in doing that?" He asked, after be calmed down.

"Why not? We might piss off a few guys but we can handle them." I said finishing up barrel number fifteen and went on for the sixteenth.


We were stuck in there for a few hours. When the truck stopped, we knew we arrived. So we grabbed our guns and aimed at the door, ready to blast any guard who might open it.

When the doors opened, we saw that it wasn't a guard but a mechanic. When she noticed us, she froze on the spot.

"Ma'am, stay calm. We came here to look for someone not to fight." Said Sig as he put the staff back onto the floor.

"Then why did you three have to sneak in?" She asked, crossing her arms.

"We're from the wasteland." I said to her as I got out of the truck.

"Hey! You done back there!?" We heard the driver ask. I looked at the mechanic and signaled her to tell him something.

"Yeah, just one more barrel!" She shouted back at him. Sig and Daxter grabbed their gears and hoped of the truck. The mechanic hit the back of the truck, signaling the driver that he can go.

"I guess, introductions are in order?" I asked everyone.

"The names Sig the kirin." Said Sig, holding his satff like a gun.

"I'm Daxter, the Changeling with feathery wings." He said as he spread his wings.

"I'm Jak, the Econ Freak." I simply said, doing nothing special for my introduction.

"Eco freak?" She asked me, raising an eyebrow.

I sighed and changed to my Dark form for a few seconds, then turned back to normal.

"He gets mean and nasty when you piss him off, so don't piss him off." Dax said as he sat on a barrel of eco.

"My names Surprise, Surprise Hagai Pie." She said.

"That doesn't sound like a name for a mechanic." Sig said as he shoved Daxter of the barrel, causing Daxter to fall face first on the floor.

"I'm also an amazing party planner." She said shrugging her shoulders. We all heard the sounds of armored men coming this way.

"We need to move, now," Surprise said, leading us to her shop.

We grabbed our bags and followed her as fast as possible, trying to avoid the guards.


PoV: ???


I heard movenent, someone's here. I stopped and turned to my men.

"Spread out and search for anyone in this area who might know where the intruders are at!" I said to the lieutenant.

"Sir, yes Sir" The lieutenant said, using his voice modifier. I felt someone tap my shoulder and saw that it was Sergeant Errol.

"Are you even sure that they're here, Torn?" He asked me. I grabbed the collar of his suit and pulled him closer.

"I told you to address me as Sir or commander, dibshit." I said to him as I let him.

"I should've been the one who got that position. I'm much better than you at being a leader." He said as he dusted himself off.

"I gave you an order, now move!" I shouted at him. He huffed at me, grabbed his gun and started the search. I looked at the thermo-vision photo's that were taken at the City's transport tunnel and saw three heat signatures in the back of the truck.

I looked around and found a spec of sand on one of the Eco barrels.

"Wastelanders, just fucking great." I said to myself. 'Why would wastelanders be in the city? I thought as I kept looking around the area.

"Nothing." I said as I went to find the lieutenant and call off the search.This is going to be the longest weeks of my life, we need to find them and fast, cause by God, I'm not getting yelled by the Baron.


PoV: Jak

Location: Surprises Mechanic shop


We managed to avoid getting caught back the supply depot, avoided a few patrols and finally made it to Surprise's Shop.

"Why are there so many guards all of a sudden?" She asked to no one in particular.

"Shit, I might've forgotten that there was a camera back at the Transport tunnels. They have built in Thermo-vision." Sig said, noticing his fuck-up.

"Ha! I knew you didn't have this handled!" Dax shouted out at Sig.

"So I messed up, we still made it in." Sig said, grabbing his bag and opening it.

"Whatever." Daxter said as he also grabbed his bag and opening it.

They both took out a gun mod and put it on their Morph-Guns. Daxter got the Scatter-gun mod and Sig got a blaster mod for his staff.

"Didn't you say that you guys came here to find someone?" Surprise asked gaining a nod from Sig.

"Then, why do you guys have weapons?" She asked us.

"It's better to have them and not need 'em, than not having them but needing them." I said as I pulled out my Morph-Gun out of my bag.

"*Sigh* Whatever." She said as she got a wrench and went to work on a hover-bike.

This is going to be an exciting experience. Maybe I should join the guard, we need someone on the inside. Daxter and Sig could go work for Krew, he has some info we need for our search. I thought as I found a chair, sat down and took a nap. Next Chapter: Living in the City Estimated time remaining: 2 Hours, 26 Minutes
