"So, how does it feel to actually go on a mission without your Jedi, Codes?" Rex nudged Cody as they made their way through the clone compound. The 212th had arrived here three days ago and had base completely set up, but Cody had just arrived after leaving Obi-wan and Anakin on Naboo.

"Ask me after we're done here and the Jedi will be here in a few days. They just had to finish things up on Naboo," Cody growled as he glared at everything around him.

"What's bothering you? You've crabby since you ran into that bounty hunter on Ossus," Rex frowned. Cody had been very moody, even with the Jedi, since he had nearly been killed by a bounty hunter on Ossus trying to follow up on a lead on the where-abouts of Dooku. The Jedi had also been very pushy on having Cody around a Jedi at all times. "Will you ever tell me what happened there?"

"No," Cody growled, lengthing his stride so he moved away from Rex. "I will speak to you later, Captian."

"I'm only trying to help!" Rex called after him.

"I don't need help, Rex! The Jedi think they know what I need and now you think you need to add to the mess!" Cody growled, turning to face Rex. The men around them stopped what they were doing to watch.

"Cody," Rex took a step towards him. Cody started to turn away from him, but then it was like something hit him in the chest. Cody grunted, grabbing at his chest as he stumbled backwards, falling to the ground. Rex rushed forward,"Cody!" He fell to his knees, seeing the burn mark on Cody's armor. He looked up at the men,"He's been shot. Get me a medic and some of you go check the perimeter. I want to know if he was attacked from inside this compound or outside it! Now!"

"Yes, sir," a clone nodded before herding others off. Rex turned away, back to Cody.

"Come on, Codes. Answer me," Rex started pulling off Cody's armor.

"Stop, Rex," Cody hissed. Rex didn't listen, pulling the armor off. There was a hole through Cody's right shoulder, thankfully no where near anything vital, but it was still bleeding badly.

"I'm guessing this has something to do with what you aren't gonna tell me, right," Rex grunted as he applied pressure to the wound.

"Yeah," Cody winced. "That bounty hunter wasn't after that offical on Ossus. He was after me."

"Why?" Rex frowned. Running feet could be heard coming towards them.

"Cause I some how pissed Dooku off. The Jedi have a theory on that, but I didn't believe them. That is, until now," Cody glanced at Meds as he knelt down next to them.

"I had Odds contact Kenobi," Meds grabbed some stuff from his kit. "From the part of the conversation I heard, he was mad. He'll be here in a few hours, or less."

"You shouldn't have called him," Cody sighed. "He's gonna be mad and mad Jedi aren't fun to be around."

"Well I don't care. You are seriously hurt and he seems to be the only person in this entire universe who can get you to think straight," Meds grumbled as he bound the wound. "You were lucky. Two inches over and you wouldn't be talking to us. Mind telling me why you were shot?"

"He pissed a Sith off," Rex said as he wiped his hands off on the offered wipe.

"Thank you, Captian Obvious," Cody growled. "It was probably just a miss fire or something."

"Which one, Dooku or Ventress?" Meds ignored Cody.

"Dooku. Probably still mad about being left in a cave all by himself," Rex shrugged. "Explains a lot, though. Cody never did like being made to sit on the side lines."

"No. He always had to be in the thick of it,"Meds nodded as he put his things away. "I say two days in the Medbay and he'll be able to do light work."

"HE is right here and can hear you," Cody growled.

"I might give him a sedative so he can get some rest," Meds reached back into his kit.

"I'll hold him down for you," Rex offered.

"You lay a finger on me and I will show you how it feels to be run over by a rancor," Cody hissed.

"Oh, you're no fun," Meds sighed, closing his kit. "Rex, help me get him up. Don't worry sir, I've had this bed ready for you for a long time. In a corner with a door leading to the command center. A lovely view, if I do say so myself."

"Just take me to my quarters. You can visit me there," Cody glared at Meds as he and Rex helped Cody stand.

"Sir, at this point and time, you do not out rank me. You are injured, therefore, you are under my care and if I don't do this, Kenobi will have my head," Meds scolded as he and Rex started leading Cody away.

"At least grab my blaster," Cody pleaded.

"I'll have Echo come grab it," Rex chuckled. "You need to rest so you're ready to argue with Kenobi in a few hours."

"Oh, joy."
