Eighteen Years before TPM

Chapter 1

"Simon Tachi, you have been found guilty of espionage against the Jedi Order."

Simon had known this would happen one of these days, no matter how hard he tried to hide it behind Force shields. If he hadn't been for working loyally for K-Directorate for so many years, he'd never had agreed to this in the first place. And then he'd fallen in love - or at least as close as he'd ever come to love – with a Jedi woman. He hadn't wanted to leave his undercover persona after that, especially when he realized that Adi wanted to be with him as well.

His greatest regret was not galactic security and any risk he'd put the Jedi in. It was that he couldn't look his wife and daughter in the eye anymore. Adi had been so furious that she hadn't wanted to hear an explanation. Now he was certain that she considered him the enemy for betraying her beloved Order that had taken him in. Siri was still too young to understand and only knew that her father was gone and wasn't coming back. But they were his family, even if he hadn't been honest with them from the very beginning.

Now that was gone, and he didn't expect to see them ever again. Siri would grow up without him, thinking that her father was a traitor. He wasn't sure how the other Jedi would treat his precocious, curious daughter throughout the Galaxy after this. She wanted to be a Jedi like her mother so much and Simon hoped that dream hadn't been completely dashed by his sending information to K-Directorate.

Stars, he missed both of them already, and he hadn't even started his sentence in galactic prison yet. This was going to be absolutely miserable.

Of course, he probably should have thought of those years before, when he'd agreed to this suicide mission. Thinking that the Jedi would be understanding when they learned about him sending information along would have been so much more naïve than Simon was capable of. But he'd practically grown up on the streets and K-Directorate had rescued him from that and trained him and given him new skills. He felt that he owed them so much for changing his life around and then giving him a family he would have never had otherwise.

But now the passion that they'd shared had given way to utter loathing. At least they were both strong feelings.
