Disclaimer: I do not own the Star Wars characters; however, Angeles & Les Dollslayer characters are mine.
Angeles had just finished with the funeral director. Her father Les had died the day before. With Poe's help, she was making plans for her father's burial. She was also going to be on a conference call later with Sabine Wren and the remaining senators that were not on Hosnian Prime when it was destroyed by Starkiller Base.
"Guys, you won't believe what the informant just told me!" Finn exclaimed, as he ran into the living room .
"You got the new identity to sneak onto Starkiller Base?" Poe asked hopefully.
"Yes, but that is not the big news. He's dead, guys. General Hux is dead!"
Poe turned to Angeles, to see what her reaction would be. She sighed and said,
"That is good to hear. Did the informant say what happened, Finn?"
"No. I tried to get details, but he said nothing. To tell you the truth, the guy sounded happy Hux was dead."
"Well, the person was helping us out, so he must not have liked Hux too much," Poe said matter of factly.
"I've got to call my buddies to tell them the good news," Finn said happily before leaving the room.
"Talk to me," Poe urged Angeles.
"About what?" she replied.
"Angeles..."
"No, Poe. When it comes to General Hux, there is nothing to talk about. He's dead, and the galaxy rejoices."
"Not everyone in the galaxy is happy," Poe reminded her.
"Yes, there are!" Angeles snapped at him. Her arms were crossed in defiance.
"No. I know one person that is upset. And it upsets me that she won't be honest with how she feels."
"Hux was a vicious, evil, murdering bastard," Angeles growled, annunciating every word. "Good riddance to him!'
They were interrupted by a phone call coming from Angeles' watch.
"Good morning, Senate Leader Dollslayer," she heard Sabine say.
"Sabine, you can call me Angeles." The Mandalorian chuckled before continuing.
"Angeles, I am not sure if you are aware, but the First Order has a new leader. His name is Kylo Ren."
"I see. I have never heard his name before. Do you know anything about him?"
"Unfortunately, no. I asked the other senators about him. No one knows who he is, or where he came from."
"Then our top priority should be to find out who he is. Then we can strategize the best way to take down the First Order, once and for all."
As soon as she ended the phone call with Angeles, Poe said,
"You have a video call coming in on the TV... Oh Maker!"
"What happened?" Angeles asked with concern.
"She survived! Padme Desertwar survived, and is calling to speak to you!" Poe shouted happily. He embraced Angeles and added,
"I am going to find Finn and tell him Padme is alive!" He dashed off to find Finn. Shaking her head in amusement, Angeles answered the video call.
It was an interesting call. Padme Desertwar was the force user who accompanied Poe to Coreilla, to meet up with Finn. Finn, as a former Stormtrooper who defected, was willing to sneak onto Starkiller Base to bring down the shields. But he needed a new identity in order to do so. The three were on Coreilla when the First Order found them. Angeles was still amazed that Padme used the force to launch two grown men across a chasm to safety.
"I am glad to hear that you are ok," Angeles said to Padme. She looked young, around seventeen or eighteen, with chestnut brown hair and blue eyes.
"Thank you," Padme softly replied. Angeles saw a person, tall, dressed in black armor, wearing a mask with silver trim, sit next to Padme. Shivers went down the senator's back, remembering that Vader also wore a black armor suit.
"Senator Dollslayer, I would like you to meet Kylo Ren, newly appointed leader of the First order." Padme said calmly.
