Jay's death

Jay's one and only death was at the end of the first book, right after he sent Nadakhan back into the Teapot of Tyrahn. It took place on Chen's Island right after Cole's death. The ninja team, and close family/friends, were outside by the docks dealing with Ben who was trying to escape. During all the hassle, Ben had stabbed Jay in the back. After Ben had been taken away by the police department, a short scene took place, revealing Jay's sudden death. There wasn't a detailed description, unlike Cole's, but instead showed Jay's thoughts and feelings as his life was being taken away. The story then finishes with Jay's death and continues to the second book, where he is no longer deceased, which is explained at the beginning of Blast from the Past 2 and the later produced side story Dawn of the Broken.
