It'd been so long since Jak got called in for a mission that when he finally did, it actually managed to throw him.

( Krew's bar, the Hip Hog, smelled like something you'd find at the bottom of a toilet. At least that much hadn't changed. )

You know, Jak really loved getting called out of bed at fuck knows when in the morning by Krew.

Really.

( Fast forward a few hours... )

"I have a proposition for you, Jak."

( Always fun words to hear in the Hip Hog. )

( In which the massive canon-catchup continues. 'Let's skip ahead,' Jak said, 'Who do I have to shake down, knock out, or blow up?' )
