Summary: Beginning of the sequel to Last Night
on Coruscant
The Jedi council sat in silent contemplation at the news from the battlefront. The thick solemn despairing air could be all but tasted as it hung suffocatingly in the council chambers. It was Mace that finally shattered the choking silence.
"I am concerned about Obi-wan" He stated loudly lacing his fingers together, his thumbs resting under his chin.
The rest of the accumulated Jedi Masters nodded in concurrence.
"Been seen from his rooms since your departing he has not" Yoda reported gravely, addressing the holographic image of Quinlan Vos. Quin sighed visibly.
"You are friends with Kenobi, Master Vos?" Mace demanded of the dishevelled looking blue tinged Jedi.
Quinlan nodded.
"Do you think we should tell him about Anakin?"
Quinlan sensed the weight of the question and took a considerable amount of time to return his answer.
"There is nothing more I can do here Master Windu my injuries are too great, I need a Temple healer, with your permission I will return to Coruscant and I…" He sighed heavily swallowing the painful emotions that engulfed him "I will bring Anakin back with me. I shall be the one to tell Obi-wan; it is my failings that seal his fate"
"Very well" Mace concluded sensing Quinlan's distress "May the Force be with you on your return"
The transmission was disconnected and the blanketed, heavy silence returned to consume the high council chamber.
